I used to hustle cigs and TP on the AT ~ the NC/TN line...in the beforetimes.

I'd ask if they wanted a steak or a hotdog & would ask for the trailname on the ride....now we have too many trust-fund housing estates to count and the hikers have more options. Remember the hustlin' hillbillies that worship that Roan and those Highland Cattle. Some o' us local still find solace there.
