Somewhere around 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, the stillness of the mountain night was broken by the long, eerie shrieks of mortars plummeting to earth and subsequent loud explosions.

I had read that the U.S. Army Rangers use the Chattahoochee National Forest for combat training; last night they played G.I. Joe until dawn. I was amused by the ridiculousness of the situation more than annoyed by the loss of sleep.

I had only been on the Appalachian Trail for one day, and already it was so much stranger than I had imagined.
