Hey, fellow goat packers, let's do this!

That actually sounds fun.  Having a goal as part of the hiking hobby is a good idea.   Of course I cant participate since I live in the wild and wooly West.  I wish that I did have more hiking oriented friends, though.  Seems like they're all too old, out of shape, or uninterested in getting wild and wooly and western dirt on them.

Old + out of shape = pack goat. As far as western dirt is concerned, dirt happens.
