Megan Geers- The AT

Today we watched a movie on the Appalachian Trail, and it was pretty informative. I’m not much of a hiker at all so seeing how these people live and get around was a learning experience for me. I had no idea there were so many rest stops all along the trail, but I guess it’s a good way to make money. I wonder if these people are running around hiking for months at a time, how are they affording to take the time off? Do they have to pay for the rest stop service? Its funny how there are trail “angels” that leave a cooler of snacks and drinks behind, too. Oh, I would be so grateful, especially after a 10 to 20 mile hike, to find that cooler! I like all the carbohydrate consumption going on as well, because carbs make my life; but it’s great to keep energy up as well! It looks appealing on screen at moments, but besides the carbs I probably wouldn’t like it.
