replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports I make myself stop and enjoy for as long as possible. But I still feel the need to sneak peaks as I walk. Oops! #hikerchat

#hikerchat A5. I pick up other people's litter when I hike, that's as close to a 'trail angel' as I've ever come.

A5. Doesn't really fall into the "trail angel" category, but I carry a garbage bag & pick up trash. It's gross but I feel better.#hikerchat
