Like most of the "traditions" modern thru-hikers feel they must complete this "half gallon challenge" is a recent invention and not really a tradition at all
@clamcrabber LOL 1999 IS recent as far as AT history and "tradition" is concerned sorry. Congrats on your hike though. :-) As far as "Traditions have to start somewhere!" I agree but unfortunately lately it seems a thru hike on the AT has turned into some sort of reality tv show where one must complete a required number of these challenges (traditions) in order to have a successful thru-hike.
Traditions have to start somewhere!
