Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.

Old fence posts along the Appalachian Trail on the TN/NC border, south of Sam's Gap.
I was born & raised in TN/VA, growing up near the Trail, and moved away as a young adult. FACT: The mountains will call you back for the rest of your life and I am almost 70 now.
