I'm not being a spelling officer, I just wanted to clarify the name of the trail. I'm an avid Appalachian Trail hiker. (AT for short.) I've been hiking sections of the trail since I was 18, and will be doing a 100-mile section hike in Virginia this year. I'm 46 and plan to continue hiking this great trail for as long as I can put one foot in front of the other!

To hike 150 miles to the Appalachian Trail
I love to backpack, but I haven't had time to do a nice long trip. I've gotten a lot of obligations off my plate this year, and will have time to go into the woods again. I already have a 70-mile trip planned for spring.
When I die and my survivors put up photos of me around the funeral home, I want most of them to be my smiling face as I stand on a trail with beautiful scenery behind me. :)
You did the right thing. The only time I give rides is near the Appalachian Trail.
I'm a hiker myself, and the trail community does depend on the kindness of strangers. Near the trail during hiking season, I will pick up hikers with backpacks. I've been on the trail many times myself, and I've had to stick a thumb out more than a few times. But that is an entirely different situation where the hitchhikers are generally the ones who are more nervous than the drivers.
Young lady killed here in Georgia, Appalachian trail hiker
and she was enjoying going out about 2 years ago, killed on a mountain here by man posing as hiker. She was a young, vibrant lady in her 20s, he was in his 60s. I think I am getting this right when I say he used her police baton she carried for protection, wrestled it away from her and killed her with it. Is not the trail you hike on known for lot of crimes? This murder happened on that same trail where you give rides to strangers. This man was well known to other hikers there as he hung out on the trail lots of times.
I saw where they were in the Appalachian Mountains but
the Adirondacks, what section did they show there?
UMASS VS APPALACHIAN STATE sm
Anyone have any connection to these two teams. My daughter is on the UMASS marching band and will be going to Tennessee for the championship game.
sorry, I meant to type Appalachian....sm
not Adirondacks - I just made an error............very sorry :)
What about hiking the Adironack Trail...
a real through hike from beginning to end at age 56 and 59? Two my girlfriends are going to attempt it at the end of March beginning in Georgia. They're avid hikers, kayakers and spelunkers...adventurous souls. I take short day hikes with them when time permits as they're conditioning for the long trek. We all dress for weather and torrain, not fashionistas (ableit, we can glam up for social affairs)...hair long, short and midlength and we all sing and share different types of music and art....Some have traveled the world and I get to hear all the stories and get great postcards. Have some fun while you're here on this planet.  Cat
I walk a trail by my house with my dog a few times

Does he show the horses or trail ride?
We have horses. There's ALWAYS something you need or want. How about a gift certificate to his favorite tack store? Or something special he wouldn't buy himself for riding? There's a lot of catalogs that cater to horse owners that have some really cool gifts. LOL, one of the gifts my 12 yo neice has on her Christmas list is a gift certificate to Tractor Supply, yeah I know, you might be a redneck if . . . .

I'd grab my backpack and tent and head for the Falls Trail

That is so fantastic!!!!
Great way to live.
Fantastic
Don't beat yourself up over what you think you should have done. When we find ourselves in these types of situations, we just don't know how to react. After you take time to talk to others and think about what happened, then you can form a game plan. Reporting them today was wonderful! I hope they catch them. It sure does sound suspicious.
But you did the right thing. Don't be too hard on yourself. They are the [potential] criminals, you are not. You have nothing to feel guilty about. You did a very good thing. :-)
Yes, can't get enough. Fantastic!!

Wow ... that's fantastic news!
I'm very happy for you.
Have a fantastic time
I have Monday-Wednesday off. Just complete relaxation and taking my daughter to a Matchbox 20 concert on Tuesday night at a casino about an hour away from the house.
Okay, here's a fantastic website for you...sm
Here you'll find all the articles:
http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/articles.htm
But here is the specific article on potty training:
http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/PottyTraining.htm
I don't know this trainer, but it looks to me like she's been very generous with her knowledge in writing all these articles and making them available for free on her website.
I wish you the best of luck with your puppy. Please let us know how it goes! ;o) BTW, what is her name?
fantastic shake ideas
I have a membership with Melaleuca and their meal replacement/shakes are fantastic, and I have many other different recipes that can be used with them. They have the meal replacement/shake mixes, as well as a full range of vitamins/supplements that are excellent, and protein bars and drinks. I can honestly say I have taken vitamins for years and never felt any different. When I started on these vitamins, I could feel it within two days. When stopped when having surgery, and restarted again, again could feel the difference, so will not take anything else. To get filled up, you need to eat protein. This will fill you, but also prevent hair loss which happens when you cut back the calories. I eat a scrambled egg every morning with shredded cheese and a sausage. Lunch is generally a small chef salad with Ranch dressing. Supper is usually 3-4 ounces of meat and some vegetables. I keep sugar free popsicles and fudgsicles and I have a great recipe for a frozen yogurt that I like for a treat, as well as mixed nuts - those are the snack fun things. Hope these ideas help you.
Only so-so, after all the hype. Get Volver instead. fantastic.

Agree!!! Fantastic movie!!

I find the writing fantastic.
I get very annoyed with writers who have no writing skills. My hubby insisted I read a book a while back that was getting all these raves - the one they made a movie with Tom Hanks, and it was all about art and Rome and theories about Biblical history - I can't remember the name. That writer needs to walk the plank IMO. After one chapter I was livid that anybody would publish such a horrible writer, LOL. His vocabularly consists of about 100 words, for one thing.
I echo what others have said. This is a fantastic time
in your life! The 40s are the time when you can really begin to focus on you. I'm more active and have more time for myself now. You will to!
Enjoy your day. Enjoy your life!
Wolfgang Puck, fantastic! sm
Best cookware I ever bought. Very thick bottoms, cook evenly. Lids interchangeable. I bought a set for about $125 on HSN. Great deal. I love his cookware, designed by a chef, for cooks. And they seem to stay shiny forever, no matter what I do to them.
Fantastic! What a wonderful program that is. -nm
Sounds like a fantastic idea to me! nm
Went to see one in Mt. Juliet, TN. She was fantastic, told me I was moving (no plans at that time),
marriage would last--missed that 1 by 2 years, but pretty close. She hit my girlfriend exactly - initials of BF, etc.
