HI Everyone!!

I would like to introduce myself; I'm Christina from Team Dakota Joe. I was handpicked by Dakota Joe himself to be his official voice on here while he is hiking the trail. I will maintain contact on here and let you know what’s happening with Dakota Joe as he goes. If you have any questions I will relay them to him and will reply back to you exactly what he says. Also just so you know Murdock will not be posting on this site!

Team Dakota Joe hopes everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!!

Thank you! I'm glad Dakota Joe picked me to be on here and that I can keep everyone updated on his progress! Yes I love puppies, they are very cute. Just wondering how did the whole posting puppy picstures start?

This place is really cool. A good mix of people. A different approach to hiking info. Some jokesters at times but some very serious and knowledgeable diehard hikers. They have something to offer everyone from newbie to seasoned hiker, and they do it in a way to make them feel good about it.

Hi Christina, we're glad to have you and Dakota Joe on board! Has he nailed down his start date yet?
I don't remember exactly, but I think the puppy thing started on the other hiking site because of some negativity going on while Murdock was actively posting. Somebody posted a picture of a bunch of cute puppies as a chill-out stress reliever, and everybody just jumped on the band wagon. We are very easily distracted here

All in good fun

TeamDakotaJoe · Dec 26th 2013, 10:47pm

Yes the official start date is Jan. 3rd. Also it is true that his hiking partner Protégé has decided not to join him on the hike. Protégé has come to realize that this really isn’t what he wants to do and got caught up in how exciting Dakota Joe made hiking the A.T. sound. He has decided to follow his own dream, which will take him down a completely different path. Protégé has become a good friend to Dakota Joe and me so he will always be part of lives, we support him in his choice and wish him the best! Protégé wants to see Amicalola Fall so that is where the two of them will part ways and head out on two different paths in search of two different dreams!

Welcome to the Cafe TDJ! Glad to see ya here. No offense to Protege but I'm glad to see he decided to go in a different direction. Besides, that 20 pound gnome would of been enough extra luggage..... gif.004

I can't remember if I saw it on Facebook or on this other obscure website. But after seeing your profile pic I'm pretty sure it was you. Maybe somebody knows where it was and can dig it up. I'll look for it a little bit but I got to be honest with you I give up and that searchin' stuff pretty quick.

I don't remember seeing any videos except the ones Dakota Joe posted on his first Facebook page. I seem to remember some people sending good luck messages and stuff like that.

Could you get Dakota Joe to post his gear list again? I think some of his original posts were lost when we added the new SocialJom platform.

Just don't mention anything about potato salad. Bad things can happen......

Oh, the flies got in the margarine and the bread has gone rock-hard,
The kids are fighting, and the mozzes are biting, Who forgot the Aero-guard?
There are bull-ants in the Esky, and the beer is running out,
And what you saw in Mom's cole slaw, you just don't think about!

Trebor · Dec 27th 2013, 1:25pm

On that other website we were waiting for TDJ to post DJ's gear list and it took a little longer than anticipated to get it. So I thought it would be funny to post one for him. Of course it was in the typical satire and I mentioned a illegal green leafy substance. Well, one thing led to another and Gator shut the thread down. From there on after said green leafy substance was referred to as Potato salad.

I spoke to Dakota Joe and here is his current Gear List:

Clothing: 3 Pairs of merino wool socks, 1 pair wool socks, 1 set of merino wool long johns by -33 Degrees, 2 dry fit t-shirts, 2 nylon all weather pants, 1 wool/down hat, 1 pair Berkley polarized sun glasses, 2 pairs of shorts, rain gear, and down jacket

Random: 1 pocket rocket stove, 1 cook set, 3 dry stuff sacks, 1 folding shovel, 1 leatherman, 1 flooding spoon, 1 backpackers tarp, 1 A.T. Guidebook in weatherproof pouch, 2 cans of fuel with 5 on backup, emergency whistle, Aqua Mira and Coleman tabs, small sewing kit, snakebite kit, first aid kit, weather radio, paracord, 3 dryboxes for electronics, 2 flashlights, batteries, iPod Nano, rain cover for pack, a pot scrubby, 1 cut toothbrush, 1 toothpaste, and $1.00.

*Tent and Sleeping Bag are to be determined.

He said there is no weight on gear list; he is not worried about being ultra light.

HB's BA Fly Creek UL2 has not arrived at his mom's house yet. If it doesn’t arrive there before he departs, he will pick it up when he meets his mom in Gatlinburg.
