Seems to be more bears and beavers on the AT this year. Lots of wet feet in New Jersey and shredded food bags in Georgia. I can understand the bear in Georgia. The bubble gets bigger every year. But the beaver don't really care about hikers.
I was watching either late night tv or NBA half time talk, and someone was saying how nice it was that the queen bee had blackened up country, and Charles or Shack were saying, "what? You just going to forget about Hootie?"
I heard Charlie Crockett promoting his new album on World Cafe a while ago when I was in the garden. Listened to a little more when I came in the house. This is from last year.
