At age 40 for fathers day. I bought a Harley. Year later I bought a mini pop up camper to pull behind it. Wife and I love it. About 3 years later I took wife and kids back to Great Smokey Mtns Nat. Park. I had not been there since 1981. I spent two Chrismas vacations backpacking there with my Dad in High School. I hiked almost every day myself this trip, up to 12 miles a day. June 28, 2008 Dad and best friend next to my wife passed away! March 2010 Im returning to GSNP in Memory! I am backpacking again for 4 days. Anybody that would like to join in? I would be honored. I know Dad will be along for the hike!
