After spending the day hiking the trails do you prefer a night spent in a real bed? well if so, then there's is now a category for you: a "slackpacker"! Yup, according to this page i tore out of a recent magazine (don't recall which one) "slackpackers" are wilderness enthusiasts more apt to forgo the beaten path then many day hikers, but are also less likely to backpack in the boonies to set up camp overnight.
i don't think too many of you guys fit this definition but thought it was interesting. they even have their own web site: www.slackpacker.com
which by the way, if you go to and connect to nys link you will see that views got voted their "site of the month" that's not too shabby! http://www.geocities.com/adkexp/
