[at-l] Looking back....

[Felix J]

Looking at my 'day planner' for the Year of our Lord 1998... I see this:

August 2nd
Thru-hike

So, 10 years ago today I was travelling across Pennsylvania with 
Pittsburgh and then Kahley and then Tom Ruane. We spent 10 years ago 
tonight at the estate of Tom's then-alive parents not too far from Kent, 
CT. 

Here is my last post to the 'lists' before I left home...10 years ago 
yesteday...

Pittsburgh will be here in about an hour. I thought about going to get 
some new glasses in that time, but no. I've had all kinds of things I 
wanted to say. There isn't time, or probably reason, to do so now. I'll 
just say, in one last cross-post, smile once in a while. My reason for 
going hiking isn't as romantic as a lot of folks'. I'm not going to find 
myself, or someone else. I'm not going, and will not do anything, because 
of what someone else will think. I'm "hiking my own hike" to beat a 
boring frase into deeper death. I'm gonna laugh. I'm gonna make others 
laugh. I'm gonna meet people. I'm going hiking BECAUSE I LIKE TO HIKE. 


Stoat will be joining me on Labor Day. He has too many things going on. 
It is unfortunate. Not the end of the world.

Well, thats it for now. I'll be posting something somewhere from time to 
thyme. As I'm sure Wingfoot, in his effort to make the ATML 'hike only', 
won't want my pseudo-journal posted, I am posting something to AT-L and 
perhaps on a webpage to be named later. Any ATML-only members who want to 
get the 'journal' may want to join AT-L, or make contacts to have them 
forwarded. Same low rate. (You see, my journal will probably be the least 
hike-related journal in the history of hike-related journals)

Goodnight, Mrs. Purtlebaugh. I love you.
