Sorry Ty Cobb, but effective tomorrow (Wednesday) you no longer have the highest career batting average. And Babe Ruth, you somehow just lost the highest career slugging percentage. Oh well, records are made to be broken or some such nonsense.

I know what they're looking for, but none of the answers given are correct.

You don't see the center fielder tag out a runner at home every day. youtube.com/watch?v=mIljZ4UTsRI

Quote from Astro: “Quote from max.patch: “Strolling down the trail with a day pack containing a half dozen Little Debbie's and a liter of water as you make your way to a gap where a car/van awaits with all your other gear is not a thru hike. I do not recognize this "record". This individual has NEVER done what thousands of other thru hikers have done -- put on a backpack and hike from one terminus to the other. ” I believe that describes 9 of his 18 hikes. So 9 and "Never" don't seem equal to me…

Quote from LIhikers: “Well, maybe I'll take a look once our hike gets us to Georgia....Not. We've already decided that if we move it'll have to be to someplace with a winter that is likely have snow and cold weather. ” You should...perhaps you can pick this up and drive it home! i.ytimg.com/vi/XUCdJi0OS5M/sddefault.jpg

Well...if you've ever had the desire to pick up after aspiring thru hikers, and have $925,000 that you don't know what to do with, the Hostel Around the Bend was listed for sale about 3 weeks ago. This is located at mile 70 in Georgia and is an easy 1/2 mile walk from Dicks Creek Gap. You may recall that this is the old Top of Georgia Hostel property (much nicer and updated!) that was started by Bob "Sir Packs A Lot" Gabrielson.

Wasn't anything I was looking for, but that factoid appeared in something I was reading about a month ago. Woulda been a guess otherwise.

Not one of their better efforts, but SNL had a hiking and biking skit last weekend. youtube.com/watch?v=TCM8oSO6MiM

As a practical matter, I don't know what changes, if any, will happen if the BMT become a National Scenic Trail but 2 senators and 2 represenatives have proposed legislation to start the ball rolling with a feasibility study. capitol-beat.org/2024/05/georg…P4M46Md961bJ0b8yqBeIgn46A

Quote from rhjanes: “My cousin in Virginia is a bourbon hunter. He had some New Riff a few years ago. It was good. I've not seen it in Texas yet but I quit hunting/buying a year ago. Stomach issues and alcohol can be an issue. Funny thing I did. I was tired one day and dropped by a decent Total Wine. There is a guy at that store who knows his stuff. I decided to ask if they ever got.......................Riff Raff. He LOOKED at me...... I guess I was the only one of us channeling Rocky Horror Pi…

Quote from Traffic Jam: “I’d rather have a reminder to hydrate as drinking enough water is a struggle for me. ” I struggled with getting enough water during the winter months. This is what worked for me: Every hour on the hour I put 8 ounces of water in my water mug. If there is any water left at the end of the hour I drink it all and then repeat the process. Drinking 8 ounces every hour ensures that I will meet my daily goal.

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 reasons. 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 ag…

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.
