Care to Join Me?: Adventure Tales of Wayward: I went West, which was a mythical sort of place to a small town Pennsylvanian such as myself, to find real wilderness. Many more adventures ensued, but the funny thing is, as I look back on those early years now, the big adventures are foggy and distant and a bit cold. What sticks out much more brightly to me are all the people I met along the way to everywhere, and during quiet nights when I think back and reflect, the characters I met on the Trail are some of the most vibrant in my memory. Ultimately—for me, anyway—the Trail is really about the people that hike it, while the Trail itself is just the stage upon which the hikers act out their parts.

Every one of them has a story. Every one of them is a story.

Appalachian Trail Books

Each year, from early spring through autumn, you can find them strung out like some Dickensian procession of wayward characters, people with stories that can only be properly told within the context of a winding, two thousand mile long footpath. I have no stories of defying deadly, hungry things in the Appalachian wilderness, no stories of powerful insight attained after weeks of literary solitude. What I do have are memories of great, funny, fascinating people, all met at a very special moment in their lives, when they elected to shed their old skin and step forward into new ones with blisters, aching backs, and persistent, pervasively bad odor.

When all is said and done, though, it was something better, and I aim to use this here little piece of wordsmithery to celebrate some of those beautiful souls and, by doing so, maybe celebrate the entire goofy-ass parade of itinerant humanity. What the hell…it beats ranting about politics. My third night on the Trail I sat by a campfire near a lean-to shelter with a dozen or so other hikers, talking excitedly about the miles ahead.

After the scotch ran dry, everyone got very quiet and stared into the flames in secret contemplations, watching ghosts of the old unwind and dissipate in the smoke as the fatigue of those first few days of hiking settled into our bones. Out of this silence, a woman began to cry. At some point early in their journey, all those who will hike any considerable length of the trail, will take on a new name. Ideally, this moniker is assigned by other hikers. Sometimes, a person simply invents one for themselves.

I took my name grudgingly, and only because some of the hikers I met insisted on calling me Notion for so long that I got sick of denying it. Yet, it did have affect me, all the same.

Adventure Tales of Wayward: An Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker

A new name cuts you off from your old identity and allows you to inhabit a new myth. Where some scoff at the trail name, others grasp its impact and potential intuitively. The woman crying in our midst was one of this sort. The Trail was supposed to be the gateway into this existence. The problem was that, after less than a week, she was ready to quit.

Annie looked up like a death row inmate that had just been informed that a loophole had been discovered in the law.
