Conquer The Mountain
While taking a few zero days near Washington, D.C., my trail family and I stopped into a Lego Store and a few of us decided to build an AT monument. We started with a lush green mountain below and topped it with a huge AT logo. The most critical part was getting everyone's character as accurate as possible. The hair choices are spot on, everyone has a backpack, those with glasses sported glasses. Superman loved checking out the overlooks and taking photos so we gave him binoculars, Spider is vegan so we gave her an apple, Pockets and Sunshine loved their coffee so we equipped them with coffee mugs, and finally Sherlock, who is a Marine Veteran, was given a sword and a pile of money because he just wanted to have some fun with his mini-me character. We all met on the trail and as a trail family, spent three to four months together, taking crazy side trips in times of need (one all the way to Kentucky to help move Sherlock out after a rough break-up) and finding various ways to entertain ourselves on and off trail. This little Lego sculpture is one great representation of our eccentric tramily and while it would have been wonderful to take home, Legos weigh too much to hike around with so we just have this photo as memory.
