Mary Ellen is an annoying hiker from Florida who tags along with Bryson and Katz for a few days in the first week of their hike. She exaggerates her hiking skills, talks constantly about useless topics, blows her nose incessantly, and irritates Katz immensely. Bryson wryly notes that despite the romantic promise of solitude in the woods, it’s still possible to get stuck in the company of utterly stupid and banal people.
