[pct-l] women alone on the trail.

[tsparks56 at aol.com]

Hi JoAnn,
First off, you are one of my hero's that I meet on the trail more often than I expected and,  as a beginner  long distance hiker, I truly admire everyone who keeps active when many of us just get lazy (I'm 57 and just retired). 

Secondly, I have to agree with all the younger people you meet on the trail who may say, "Are you crazy?" 

Yep, you are in good company with being a "crazy" and loving it every step of the trail.....

 
Hike on!

Terry

Can’t resist chiming in...I am a 65 years old hiker who hikes along about 90% of 
the time. I STILL get the line of “are you crazy”, “do you carry a gun”, “you 
are so brave”, “you are stupid”. I hike alone for numerous reasons: I love to, 
most women my age do not hike, and matching distance and speed is never easy. 
I’m proud to say I’m a woman who hikes alone. I’m proud to be a hiker.

are we there yet
