1. Hikers are friendly. We have met lots of people from all over the world and they all say hello. I don't know if it's because they are glad to be out amongst nature or they're just glad to see another person.
2. Hikers lie. You hear it all. "It's not much further!" It's all downhill from here!" "You're almost there!" They're lying! Or maybe they are just disillusioned or suffer from wishful thinking. Mostly it's parents lying to their kids. Anything to get them to keep going.
3. Hikers are crazy. I can't tell you how many people we've seen hiking in flip-flops! Ouch! Saturday we saw two different people carrying their dogs up Abrams Falls Trail. The sign plainly says no pets allowed but these people were toting their dogs! They put their kids on a leash and they carry their dog? Go figure! We also saw a man carrying not one, but 2 babies. He had one strapped on the front and one strapped on his back. Just imagine toting that uphill for 5 miles! I tell you, hikers are crazy!
4. Hikers going up the trail smell better than the hikers coming back down the trail. No explanation is necessary!
5. God knew what he was doing when he created earth! I just hope we hikers love it, appreciate it, and respect it!
