Welcome To My Backpacking Page

This is my backpacking page, it is pretty cool I think. I like to backpack and have gone on a couple of hikes on the Appalation mountains and Appalation trail.

I have hiked sections of the Appalachian Trail two times. The first was 14 miles and it was a few years ago. I don't remember where we started but it was in the central part of the Great Smokey Mountains National Forest. The second time was last summer (1996) and it was about 20 miles. We started in Tennessee and ended up in Georiga. It was a very steep hike both up and down and was very challenging.
What do you say when somebody says "Why do you beat yourself like that?"
A: "Because it feels so good when I stop."
