Quote from milkman: “Quote from Rasty: “Quote from milkman: “Went to see if I could start some 46.gif over at TOS in the Springer Mountain cheating thread. Wish me luck.” Troublemaker. Tell gator hi for me. :D” Damn. I ain't got a bite yet.” I just gave you a bite, lets see who jumps on the wagon.

Quote from max.patch: “you beat the odds. out of the first 5,000 attempts only 50 made it. thats 1 out of every 100 attempts.” Where did you find these stats?

Finally made it all the way on my third try. Died in the wilderness on my first two. Hope that isn't an omen. On the third try I hiked fewer miles to keep my health up. Only averaged 10.8 mpd. Then I would stop just short of towns or just past towns and sleep in shelters to conserve money. Finished with health close to 90% and about $900 dollars left for the trip home. Took me until Sept to finish even though I started in March.

Good night all you POHO'S. Tomorrow will be here soon.

Ok, I see where private messages show up if someone sends me one but where do I send one to someone else?

If you get the chance read "Into Thin Air". Very good true story about a climb gone bad.

Remind us again where you picking up the trail at.” Getting back on at Hemlock Hollow, about a day north of Hot Springs. Plan on moving nice and slow for the first couple weeks.

Thanks all for the well wishes. Just plan to have fun.

Quote from LoboSolo: “golf is fun. thru-hikin sucks” Concur. Got an extra set of clubs? Not bringing mine.

Sitting here in the middle of a blizzard wondering why I didn't go south earlier. Oh, I remember, my ride isn't leaving until Monday. Have all my food packed and most of my gear rounded up. Only thing left is to loose 20 pounds and get in shape. Guess there isn't going to be time for that. I am going to take winter gear to get me down around freezing while hiking and down to 5 to 10 degrees at night. If it gets any colder than that I'll just have to thaw out when summer gets here. Haven't bother…

Quote from OzJacko: “I consider Gatlinburg the ideal trail town. Cheap hotel, good outfitter, great food options and 30 minutes sitting watching the people walk past and you can't wait to go back on the trail. (My question when I looked at the people there. .. "how did you ever get to be the most powerful country in the world? ") gif.002” Gatlinburg isn't really in this country. It's the twilight zone.

Quote from LoboSolo: “Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from CrazyLarry: “Just met Dakota Joe” Good God man, don't stop there. Tell us more!” we had a beer together at blue blaze” Couldn't afford two?

Thank you for posting that. Moving.

I pretty much just roam around the woods aimlessly most of the time. I'll never be a real hiker because I'm too old to change now.

I met a couple in Pa. that were doing it right according to the guy. They both had enormous packs. He was also carrying a folding bed frame. She was carrying an extra 5 gallons of water. He was wearing a safari outfit including hat and had a Glock in a holster on his hip. (I have no problem with guns) So after meeting them I came to a conclusion. "I'D RATHER BE DOING IT WRONG" Now where can I get that made into a window sticker. Seems like a good advertisement for the café.

Quote from LoboSolo: “i'm in gif.016 http://politix.topix.com/story/10741-baptist-group-giving-away-guns-for-god” Now that is one way they might get me back in church.

Quote from hikerboy: “okay, effective immediately, we are instituting the "another kevin" rule. If you want to insult another cafe patron, it must be done in latin, or at the very least pig latin.” I never was very good at pig latin. Don't matter, nobody I want to insult anyway.

Quote from hikerboy: “i mean really, editing someone elses posts? someone could lose an i. lets be careful out there” It's all good, after all its only talking.

If my posts need fixed I will fix them myself.
