[pct-l] PCTA Communicator Article, "Why We Hike"

[Mtnned at aol.com (Mtnned@aol.com)]

We're going to need all your help on this:
 
You all are a wealth of personal experience and historical  recollection.
 
I need quotes, from yourselves and/or from people in history describing in  a 
sentence or so why we like to hike.  Doesn't matter who said it, but it  must 
be heartfelt, at the very core of what motivates us to head for the hills,  s
pending even months at a time in wilderness.
 
Your own personal feelings.  Those of Thoreau, Waldo, Clarke, etc.,  etc..
 
The essence of these will be compiled into a dissertation of 1500-word  
limited length for a future Communicator article.
 
E-mail them to me at

What you express will motivate others to experience this awesome lifestyle  
of the trail!
