My Trail Name

Here I am in Erwin, TN! I did three 20+ mile days consecutively after leaving Hot Springs, NC! I've been feeling great and I'm hiking without my knee brace! I'm 340 miles into this hike and I'm excited for some upcoming things! Roan Mountain (6,284 ft.) and several great hostels along the trail, to name a few.. My next stop will be Roan Mountain, TN. Also, here's the dish about my trail name below..
It's Soulslosher. No, not Soulslasher. Soulslosher. I had one thru-hiker that was avoiding me because he thought I was some evil person looking to slash his soul and any other unfortunate hiker's that might get in my way.. Also, some hikers call me Soul; others call me Slosher.
So, why Soulslosher? I didn't follow thru-hiker tradition and let others name me. I named myself: Soulslosher. To me, this name represents how I view myself and my place in this world (and one of the reasons why I'm hiking the AT). Now, I want you to know that I just might get a little "out there" right now in my explanation of my trail name...
Ok, so I think we all have a "soul". Regardless of what it is, I think we all have one. And I think that in order to get the most out of life, you need to shake things up. Try things you wouldn't normally do. Stimulate you senses, your soul, your mind. Try things that make you feel ALIVE! It seems that for most people, the best they can "shake things up" is by watching something new on television or the like. Not me, I want something more! I crave it.
Get the picture I'm painting? So, what's another word for shake? Slosh! Put them both together and what do you have? SOULSLOSHER!
Peace out peoples! Back to hikin'!
