hiking the appalachian

In June, 2009, South Carolina governor Mark Sanford disappeared from public sight for five days, a period during which neither his wife nor much of his staff apparently knew where he had gone. A Sanford spokesperson eventually told reporters that the Governor was on a secretive hike along the Appalachian Trial to clear his head after a tough legislative session. Turns out that Sanford had actually been in Argentina where he had been conducting an extra-marital affair.
"Why is Bob's wife angry with him?"

"He got caught hiking the Appalachian, if you know what I mean."

Hitting the Appalachian Trail

As unintentionally coined by South Carolina Govenor Mark Sanford, who in June 2009 disappeared for a few days to Argentina to visit his mistress, while his staff was left with the task of covering up his affair by alleging the Govenor was taking time off to hike the Appalachian Trail.

"Hitting the Appalachian Trail" is a phrase that can be used to describe a politician having an affair. Much like, "Sorry, honey, I was working late at the office." This phrase may achieve the popularity of other politico lingo, such as using the suffix "-gate" when discussing a political scandal.
"Despite the fact that former President Clinton hit the Appalachian Trail a few times during his presidency, many still remember him as a successful president."

"Many Democratic lawmakers are disappointed that numerous Republicans have been caught hitting the Appalachian trail in the past few years, yet still insist upon being the party of morality and conservatism."
