Stories of gastronomic delight

After a few weeks on the trail, the main focus usually becomes FOOD. Conversations, no matter what the subject, will invariably end up with some reference to food in some way. It is a known fact that one must eat to live, and thru hikers really know how to live! Sometimes you might wonder how they could live after consuming that much food, but believe me, it can be done. Below are stories related to food and how much can be eaten and still live to tell the tale. If you would like to submit a story about the experiences you have witnessed as you, or someone else, shovelled down massive amounts of food along the Appalachian Trail, send an email with the information to: info@atmuseum.org
