Well put Doug, I must I agree that I like the term 'observer' better also.

I am curious about one thing that maybe all of you can shed a little light
on. It is easy to sit back, make your plans and listen to the stories from
others about their experiences and develop a preconceived notion of what
your experience will (or should) be. I was wandering, of those of you who
have already done a thruhike, did the experience live up to your
expectations of what you thought it would be? For better or worse, I'd like
to know.

No followers behind:
Only the vastness of heaven and earth
On this mountain terrace.
Though heaven may know the ultimate,
Joy or sorrow is our own will."
