No kidding......I didn't say they were happy about it.  In addition to the
anti climatic end of the Trail, we basically have two people who's spirit
is willing and wanting to just keep on hiking but who's bodies are too
torn up to do it anymore right now.  So it's time to figure out "What do I 
do with
the rest of my life?"  To me, it doesn't get more real than that.............
