Annie and the Pirate



With my Appalachian Trail (AT) trip less than two weeks away, I'm trying to wrap up things that need to be done for the journey. One of the frequent websites I consult is http://www.whiteblaze.net. It's fun to look at the photo galleries on this site, and I've posted two photos of AT hikers, Pirate and Annie the Wonder Dog. Trail nicknames are either chosen by the hikers or given to them by other hikers. And there's Sgt. Rock, of Sgt. Rock's Hiking Headquarters, who boasts on his website “Pay attention, you dirt bag sissies. I’m here to make you a REAL HIKER!” A whole subculture here.
