You have nothing to lube but your chains. Shoes for industry, comrade.
If anyone is interested in traveling the GAP from Pittsburgh to Cumberland and back, let me know. My wife agrees to it in principle, as she can stay in Pittsburgh with the grand babies. The odds of this really going off, by the way, are about 25%, so don't cancel a trip to Crna Gora. I like the sound of the credit card route, but I might be convinced of roughing it, except I own no appropriate equipment.
The Sojourn looks cool, but that is a lot of people on the trail at one time. Sounds kinda like a cruise ship to me.
