Is "Taking a hike down the Appalachian Trail" code for?

[Khan Noonien SIngh]

some deviant behavior that is inconsistent with the conservative platform, and was that code used to let staffers know it's time to get the cover up on?

It's a code for I'm resting in a Hotel and leave me alone so I can get my sanity back. That is if you are referring to Sandford of S.C. He's had a rough several months trying not to take the money that was offered to the state and then was over ruled and had to take it.

I think it's code for "not going to be re-elected." It also might be code for "gone off the deep end" or even "about to be divorced."
