Trail Update: 2008

So a few weeks back Mom and I made our annual pilgrimage to North Georgia to some hiking and camping (we've been going to Unicoi and Helen since I was 5), and the 16 miles covered on this trip was special, as it meant that she has now hiked all 79 miles of AT in Georgia. Awesome!

Of course, one year she went and did two days without me, so I haven't done all the miles that she has. Which just goes to show that I should have been left to the apes, like Tarzan. Then I could just swing on the vines and cover many more miles. Hmmph.



(Link to my photo album from this trip.)

Dear Diary.

"Today I decided to prove that even total douchebags could hike on the Appalachian Trail. And put it all in writing."



What really pisses me off about this (other than the rampant stupidity, obnoxious behavior, and borderline illiteracy) is that Mom and I totally called dibs on the name "Team Shocker."

If you're into this sort of thing, there are lots of decidedly non-douchetastic photos from the trip here and here.

I'm off to Atlanta for the weekend. Might sent pix via PhoneCamera thingy. Might not. Cheers, and Happy 4th!
