I was just on the AT a few days ago doing a section hike and pitched my tent outside a shelter. I was reading on the grass when a bunch of thru hikers showed up and pitched their tents as well. Then:
>MY TRAIL NAME IS RED FOX, ITS BEEN THAT WAY FOR FIVE YEARS
>THIS HERE IS MY BUD BANANA SPLIT ON ACCOUNT UH HE RIPPED HIS PANTS ON SPRINGER
>HAHAHA
>SHUT UP IHOP!
>MAN I AVERGARD 4.2 MILES AN HOUR YESTERDAY
>AWW SHUT UP YOU YELLOW BLAZER
>MAN I FUCKING HATE DAY HIKERS
>INLOVE BEING A PART OF THE FAST BUBBLE, I LOVE PASSING EVERYONE
>IM IN A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
>IM IN A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
>IM IN A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
Given, these guys were great hikers, but holy shit they may have been the most insufferable group of people I've ever been around. I packed my shit at like five a.m. so I wouldn't have to hike near them
