Man dies on Appalachain Trail
A TN man hiking the A.T. with 3 companions dies in his sleep of natural causes. According to park spokeswoman Nacy Gray, the man and his companions stayed the night 3/30/06 in the Mount Collins shelter jusst off the AT. His companions said the man was in good health when he went to sleep but when they tried to awaken him the morning of 3/31, he was unresponsive. A team of park rangers conducted an investigation, then carried the body to Cligmans Dome Road where an ambulance transported him to Ft. Sanders in Sevierville. The sevier County medical examiner determined his death was due to natural causes.

I was at Mountain Momma's on Friday and no one over there had heard anything about it.

A couple thru hikers came in while I was there and they had stayed at Mt Collins on Monday or Tuesday and didn't know anything about it either.

Whole thing stayed pretty quiet until the announcement.

Very sad for his family and friends, but that's the way to go. Much better than being in a hospital with a tube stuck in every orafice.

So is the guy going to rise from his ashes in a few days and start hiking the trail again?









Hey, had to ask, his trail name is Phoenix, right?

Reminds me of a joke. This guy learns that he will not live through the night. He and his wife are bummed. The wife asks him what he wants to do with his last hours, so he asks to make love. They make love passionately. A little while later, she asks "is there anything else you would like to do?" He says "let's do it with you on top." So they do. A while later, he asks to try it doggy style. So they do. After he falls comfortably asleep for a while he wakes up, cradles his wife in his arms, kisses her ear and says "honey would you go down on me one last time?" She says, "Look buster one of us has to get up and go to work in the morning."

I can't stand the thought of smooth brown skin and the smell of 'coppertone'.
