Happy Days – Trail Edition
After writing a post all about being miserable I wanted to brainstorm a list of some of the simple things that make thru-hikers happy. Heres what I came up with.
-Sunny days
-No bugs
-Trail magic
-Gradual ups and gradual downs
-The perfect tree limb for bear hangs
-Bear cables so you dont have to do a hang
-A privy (maybe even with a door)
-The perfect tree to pee behind
-The first shower in town
-Flat (or close to flat) tenting spots
-Beautiful lunch spots
-Camping with the tramily each night
-Meeting dogs on the trail
There are so many things that make thru-hiking amazing, but these are just a few. My thru-hiking experience has been full of both negatives and positives but so far the positives outweigh the negatives. Its all about who you surround yourself with and what your mind-set is.
