John McCain- Hiker
Recently the Associated Press asked the Presidential candidates what they like to do on a lazy day. One of them - John McCain - responded by saying he likes to hike. Here are the candidate's comments;
"Probably hiking around a place we have up near Sedona. It's so beautiful up there in the Red Rock country, and we have a place that's on Oak Creek. ... and we have picnics. It's not just strenuous hiking. You know, it's just kind of a recreational outing." In August 2006, he and son Jack hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim — "which almost killed me and he thought was a day at the beach."
This is not an endorsement of any kind. In fact, American Hiking Society doesn't endorse candidates. It is simply a story in the news about a well known public figure who enjoys hiking.
Personally, I hope that all the candidates take some time to get out and hike! After all, hiking is a non-partisan activity.
