I planned on hiking into Vernon, but was stopped by the "mayor" as I walked out of town after consuming a sandwich, soda, and ice cream.

When you read, or re-read the posts over time, you get a real appreciation of your life on the trail, the mood swings, the happiness of experiencing trail magic, the people you meet, and the determination to see it through. The comments are good to read as well.
