Being Excellent Always Requires Diligence: 15 Incredible Appalachian Trail Beards
When I began hiking the Appalachian Trail I thought I wanted to go on the adventure of a lifetime. . . In reality I only ended up hiking the Appalachian Trail because my beard needed an environment in which it could truly thrive and become an entity of it’s own. The Appalachian Trail hike is a migratory phenomenon for humans to grow beards. For humans, the hike is similar to that of the salmon swimming upstream to lay eggs or a butterfly’s flight from Canada to Mexico to hang out and drink tequila.
When/if you hike the Appalachian Trail it is important that you know what you’re getting yourself into. Hiking the Appalachian Trail requires you be the best you can be at all times. I’ve just coined the acronym “B.E.A.R.D.” (Being Excellent Always Requires Diligence!) Whenever you feel like you’re having a hard time on the trail, just remember that B.E.A.R.D!!!
The following people in this blog post have all taken the acronym “B.E.A.R.D” to heart. Enjoy!!!
