One of my dearest friends from college, Lollie Winans, was murdered on the AT with her partner in 1996. It was one of the most disturbing events we (her friends and family) had ever experienced. Bryson mentions them in his book. They made it as far as Shenandoah and were found a mile off of the trail. I don't bring this up to be a downer - just to remember them. It freaked some of us out for a while - and made the woods a bit more foreboding. I am eternally grateful that this traumatic experience did not deter me, personally, from continuing to explore my passion for the wild. What is more disturbing about what happened to these two incredible women is that they were both working in Vermont, bringing women who had been abused into the woods to teach them about the beauty and healing to be found in nature. I remember them and send positive energy when I am out in the woods. Thanks for reminding me of the strong women out there. Awesome - I love hearing good tales of the trail.

Who says that old age has to equal decrepitude? She sounds a bit like my grandma, who moved stone walls around when she was 80! Who says that old age has to equal decrepitude?

I can't exactly imagine how a shower curtain makes a good tent, let alone any tent, but I know I've seen the woman's colleagues hiking briskly through New England. Usually in short shorts or ill-fitting pants, often with a walking stick or trekking pole, and always with a tough, "don't think of me as old" 'tude. Reminds me of the grizzled skiers pushing 100 in Warren Miller movies. Great post!
