How many hardcore hikers have we got here at X-Marks? I know there's a lot who get out during the day and weekends. Anyone who thinks nothing of a week to several months in the boonies would qualify.
I've been hiking for over 10 years. In that time I've done the A.T in sections-1988-1994, the Pinhoti trail in Ga & Alabama and the Benton MacKay trail in Ga. Most of my trips are in the Cohutta Wilderness and the Joyce Kilmer Wilderness areas.
