Who are we? - Appalachian Trail

#1

I find myself asking this question, I’m currently writing a paper on the subculture that I and all of you are a part of. A subculture that enjoys and lives for nature. That would rather be on the trail than in an office. That could spend a week in the woods and never miss this crazy life we live now.

My question is, what do we call ourselves? I imgaine there are many names you could think of but some ideas or info would be great.

Or, just, the “People.”

Ultimately, we are just true to ourselves.

…we are the thin red line upon a path that translates to the wanderlust of the American spirit, manifesting its destiny thru evolution, divine intervention, and a busload of luck…
