You know you’re a thru-hiker when you realize every trivial fact about the trail coming out of your partner’s mouth is really regurgitated Wingfoot banter.

Keep it going, gang. Nothing about trail magic? Do not admit mug shots in AYCEs? Somebody needs to compile these. Make a great present for the thru-hiker on your Christmas list. Bushwack? Papa Smurf?
Anyhow, thanks for sharing.

In a weird sort of way we bring past crew together by planning trips and not telling them anything about who is coming so they pop out from behind the door and and scare the crap out of the un-nowing guy. Have one in the works for the weekend. Monty doesn’t know Strider is coming, Strider doesn’t know Howdy is coming, Monty doesn’t know Howdy is coming etc. And nobody knows that we now need a school bus to hual all this hiker trash around. What did I get into? Last year we flew Monty to California for a hike with Raindog and 'Dog had no idea he came until he jumped out from the elevator. What a shock. lots of fun.

You know the difference between Troutville, Daleville and Troutdale :rolleyes
Zip & Leif, you guys should keep this up… I’m sure there are some great ones that hikers could add if they see it up on trailjournals!

1)You aren’t obsessed with checking your email everyday anymore (I check 3-4 times a day sometimes when at home)
2)Flatulence no longer embaresses you in public, it is just something that happens.
- You can count everything in your diet on your fingers (Ramen, PB, snickers, M=M’s, rice, jerky, dehydrated potatoes, oatmeal, nutrition bars, pop-tarts)
