[at-l] The Most Fun you've had on the trail

[infinity1plus1 at yahoo.com (Robert)]

No phones! No lights! No motorcars! Not a single luxury, like Robinson Crusoe, it's primitive as can be.

It sounds like a unique experience, Weary.

I wonder how many hikers of any stripe could
hack thirty days in the woods without a town
stop, pizza, Coke, ice cream, or shower. I doubt
I could, but never tried it. I doubt many thru-
hikers ever come close. Sounds like something
Shane's probably done, tho 

I think my record for consecutive days in
the woods was set in the 100-mile wilderness.
Maybe seven nights, as I recall. No phone.
No wife. No problem.
