Hiking for Business Bonding

The Hartford Courant issue of 10 June 2007 has an article by Robin Stansbury titled "A Focus on Fun" that includes this quote from an employee at Mascola Advertising:

"Within my first month, we'd hiked 7 miles of the Appalachian Trail together. We'd raced cars and had a water gun fight. It keeps things fun. When you work hard, you have to keep it interesting."

That advertising must be hard work if they go hiking on the A.T. both to relax and to bond as a team.
