    Quote from Dmax: “The big days are Friday and Saturday. Usually around 4-5 sat is when specialized gear venders start braking down. But I think it starts on Monday with town wide garage sales, somewhere in the town has a parade to crown a queen or something like that. I need to find a like for them. It'll show the day by day itinerary. ” i saw the yard sale thing, supposed to be a town wide thing. I'm not much of a yard sale person. Even though I'm sure a couple people might have some pretty goo…

    Anyone heading there? I'm going for the first time this year.

  • Hey, this was my favorite picture I took somewhere in Virginia.

  • But, I have had a bit of an unexciting adventure since April 2nd. Some of the folks here already know about it. April 2nd I was involved in a really bad truck crash involving 3 trucks and six cars in Flomoton AL(about 60 miles north of Mobile). Myself, along with 2 others, were airlifted from the scene. I was off work for nearly a month and a half with lower leg injuries, but now am back on truck. I still suffer from left leg numbness, and occasional pain, but am tolerating it because of me not …

    I just picked this bad boy up. 357, one shot, 6 second reload time. Advise against shooting into the wind, as you can take your own eye out. Shooting with the flow of the wind, furthest distance is 4 feet. Great for keeping dmax away, along with those pesky squirrels. At a whopping 2 oz, and can fit anywhere, I'd say it is a steal! Unfortunately, until I'm off parole, I have to wait until I can get a "real" gun. Sigh....

  • But wasn't sure if it was appropriate enough to post here. WARNING; this has the word sh!t in it!!!! Mods, feel free to remove if needed. So, I had done my days hike and ended up at the Paul C. Wolfe shelter(which is an awesome shelter and location). When I got there, two other hikers were already there. We got to talkin and they asked how my day went. I replied it had went good, and that I had counted 14 piles of bear sh!t that day. Their like, OK..... We see it all the time... Next day rolls a…

    Quote from Da Wolf: “Quote from whisperingwind: “Dmax!!!!!! No, we don't have ticks here, just hookers with crabs..... Hope that comment doesn't get me banned already!!!!” this place has a lot more tolerance than TP ever had.” Yea, but that was the one thing I liked about tp compared to wb. Tp was quieter!

Not that I've tried or anything!” Maybe just one with a single claw?” No, I think they just like crabs.... I guess its their way of finding someone who likes seafood. :o

    Rasty, the DOT would love the $5000 dollar fine and 12 points on my license they would give me. Then I'd have lots of time to spend on here!

    Hi all. I was recommended to the site by dmax since the downfall of trail place. I have seen many familiar names here from TP that I had not seen, or communicated with in some time. Its great to see you guys are around the hiking community somewhere. As some of you know, I was hospitalized in Roanoke VA last September, after becoming pretty sick on the trail at Lamperts Shelter south of Troutville. I was originally admitted for severe dehydration. During my stay at hospital, it was determined I …
