appalachian trail

Someday, Mr. BikeMan wants to hike this:


We had no idea that our journey to visit our friends (see previous post) would lead us across the famous Appalachian Trail. We had to stop and take a picture on the way home. When we started the car back up, we smelled something burning. At first we thought it was the cigarette lighter spontaneously starting itself (it was glowing red - turns out it always glows red when the headlights are on because there's a red light behind it...had the car for 4 years and have never noticed this), but when we got home, we found out that we had driven all the way home with what appears now to be a ruptured universal joint boot (I don't know what that is, but I sound smart...). Didn't we just sink a chunk into the Subaru before we drove all the way across the continent?

If Mr. Bikeman is going to hike the entire length of the App. Trail, tell him to save some money for new shoes after he's done. I know a couple folks who hiked it in its entirety, and all the miles on their feet caused their shoe size to increase significantly!
