[Davy Ray]

There is a tendancy to become jaded after hiking for
hundreds of miles. "Oh look; another scenic vista".
Rest assured, we have not lost the appreciation of the
experience. We are merely tired. Our feet hurt. If you
want to know what that's like, then walk a few hundred
miles in our shoes. Come experience the 'land of a
thousand switchbacks' with us. Why am I even
responding to this?
