Those are nice

Nice fish. Which one is your son?
Very nice!
Wilbur, Ryan has the sunglasses on. He has one semester left in the mechanical engineering program at the University of MN. He has convinced himself that after graduation, he needs to take six months and hike the Appalachian trail. The only advice I've given him regarding that decision is that he will be leaving fishing like he is currently experiencing in MN!
My last summer after high school a buddy and I before going to college spent 5 days on the Appalachian Trail. It is an experience that will last a lifetime.
Man they spanked em!!!
SeaRay, 5 days or even a couple weeks, I can understand, but not 6 months. He wants to do the entire thing!Quote:

I hope he is at least saving some for a new car...
I envy your boy. Would love to have done the Appalachian Trail from end to end. Best he do it before the real world starts. Next thing you know he will be working full time, find a wife, have kids, and regret not going on that hike. I have only done one 50 miler on the AT. Pretty easy trail, he will need to work out the logistics of food/supply drops at local post offices. there are numerous books on the subject. This fall I get my first knee replaced, doubt I will ever get to thru hike the AT. After having said that, I ain't dead yet!!! There is still hope.
