Sometimes, though, the scenery is surpassingly lovely, as in the Grayson Highlands of Virginia. This is our backpacking companion, Anne, who is a 20-year-old rising junior at UNC Chapel Hill. At dusk at Groundhog Creek Shelter, North Carolina, four years ago, a daddy and his daughter came down the trail and joined me and my boys and another friend for dinner. Thus began a close AT backpacking friendship that has continued every summer. This year, instead of there being the six of us, it was down to the three of us: Anne (trail name "Babushka"), Jackson ("Jack the Napper"), and me (various trail names, all involving perspiration in some form or fashion).
