Quote from Traffic Jam: “I’ll ask my son about the TOPO, see what he thinks. He’s a shoe expert. Is your question about the fad referring to the Hoka’s? Hokas are great and the majority of nurses that I work with wear them. They are very comfortable and supportive. ” Yes, I was talking about the Hokas. Just noticed quite a few people wearing them while walking who really don't appear to need a $150ish shoe. I understand they are comfortable which is why hikers seem to like them.

Quote from Traffic Jam: “I had a nice Mother’s Day hike in Chickamauga Battlefield followed by two nights in a cabin (with hot tub) with my mom and sister. The rocks have faces. To me, they look like an Egyptian Sphinx, a witch Dr., and Herman Munster. The house is called Craven’s House and has an interesting history. The original house was destroyed during the Battle Above the Clouds but was rebuilt. I meant to hike a different trail but couldn’t find a parking space nearby so had to wing it. ”…

Mountain Crossings made this post recently in FB: "TOPO trail runners are easily becoming our most popular shoe. We filled in more colors for the TOPO Ultraventure 3 for men’s and women’s trail runners. Come grab some new shoes today!" Never heard of em, so I took a quick look. They have a vibram sole which I am partial to for a variety of treasons. REI also carries them. My guess is that Hoka Speedgoats are still one of the most popular trail runners. They also have a vibram sole, but a knock a…

Make Atlanta Great Again. Poor guy... It's ironic that he's a dark skinned immigrant. From The Athletic (behind paywall). cdn.theathletic.com/cdn-cgi/im…s-2151052192-1024x683.jpg <snip> The question of exactly how he ended up with jersey number 45 remains something of a mystery. Tromp said he asked Braves clubhouse director Calvin Minasian for a number change during the offseason. He wanted No. 14 — he has worn 14 and 60 at points in his career — but that became unavailable when Adam Duvall re-s…

I think you're correct in that they are really asking for the average males weight loss. I lost 12 pounds. But I found it shortly after I got home.

Quote from rhjanes: “Over on TOS, there is a thread about forum slowing in content. Yesterday it morphed into about how during the pandemic.....it's now had a moderator chime in. ” lol, apparently gator is doing more than just talking. someone posted last night and then this morning edited their post to this... <snip> Edit - post this was in response to is gone, so this message became meaningless.

My Companion agrees with Wiki. ETA: And so does my Data Book and the ATC Trail Guide to NC and Tenn. So the correct answer to the question should be "None of the Above"

I thot ahead...when I was dating my soon to be wife I told her that at some point in the future -- and I had no idea when -- I was going hike the entire AT. So when the time was right...what could she say?

Cheating.

Quote from rhjanes: “ I'm thinking the "Data" behind the "?" is out dated. Once you answer it, then click the "OKAY" then the "?". It states "Run by Nevil Harris". I think it's now run by her granddaughter and her husband. ” lol, I've never clicked the "?" because TBH I've never seen it. But there it is...

Cool. It's rare when I can run a category, although without the "end of the alphabet" clue I would have guessed Bic.

And in other Yankee news... What have you done for me lately? Yankee fans boo Aaron Judge during Saturdays game. Idiots.

It's changed (some services are no longer available) since I've been there, but Hanover was my favorite trail town.

Took me all 6 guesses to get todays Wordle. The NYT average was 5.4 guesses. Not something I track, but that is the highest number I recall seeing.

When I hiked Vermont when I finished I took the bus from one of choices listed to another one of the choices listed, From there it was a relatively short walk to the trailhead where I left my car.

Great pics!

I'll pass on this one. From Ebert's website: <snip> The same could be said for “Sasquatch Sunset,” a film that produced the most walkouts that I’ve seen so far this year. I jokingly told the guy sitting next to me that the walkout over/under was set at 25. You should have bet the over. The likelihood is that the dozens who fled didn’t know that this strange comedy is a film with no actual dialogue, a story told in grunts, bodily fluids, and longing stares under mountains of sasquatch make-up. Ye…

It's been 85 degrees here for 3 days in a row. I notice it. The dog notices it. The older I get the more the heat bothers me.
