<< I love to hike for many reasons. the sparkle of dew on a blade of grass in
 the morning sun, speculator sunsets from a mountain top, listening to the
 sounds of the forest at night, the wonder of a intricate spider web or a
 fragile snowflake,  the feeling of "I did it" at the end of a long
 difficult hike. Because the woods is where I feel the most at home, where
 I'm the freest, where I feel closest to god. Because when I put on my pack
 and step into the woods all the stress goes away and my soul is filled with
 peace. >>


I could have said it better, thanks AT Wannabe......
