OF the forum? Just to share ideas & feelings related to hiking. As I mentioned, perhaps unclearly the key to happy hiking is to hike your own hike.
If hiking the whole pemi loop in 7 or 8 hours makes the person happy doing it, great
I wish I had the time to do it in two weeks meandering & looking at little things I have over looked before, sitting on the open peaks for hours & wandering around the summits looking at the little things, I don't have that kind of time, heck it's hard finding time to mow my lawn.
