[at-l] Life after the trail

I suspect that returning thru-hikers will be able to relate to the following
quote. It is from "The Winds of Mara" by Colin Fletcher.


"It is always there, of course, when you come back from the green world. You
have been living by sunrise and sunset, by wind and rain, surrounded by the
ebb and flow of lives that respond only to such simple, rhythmic elements.
But now the tone and tempo of the days switch. Instead of harmony, jangle"

In hiking there is no special recognition given for speed, style,
or finesse. There are only those who do the hike and those who don't.
