That's not a choice. If you want to express your opinion on the subject go join the fracas on the other thread.
Can't you even follow simple directions. How HB put up with you for a week is beyond me :p

Seems like when HB was with Oz and IM he was hiking slower, but when Rasty was there he was picking up his mileage. Perhaps he was trying to loose him. ;)

while you're hanging out in Erwin you should check to see if they're running any Nolichucky rafting trips yet. It might be a little early in the season though.

It's a great section coming up once on top of Roan Knob. The only sucky spot is the mile or so after 19E until the church.

Sorry, Astro, we have to revoke your cyber hiking patch till you can come up with 8.8 more posts. Since it's not the true cyber trail, they don't have to be relevant. You can include anything you like on a blue blazing post. The Gettysburg address, for example. But you do need to include the zip code :p

I'm sorry, but riding a bike down the streets of Erwin, even if it's blazed, does not constitute a "pure" hike.

uncle Johnny's rents Bikes for 2 bucks. I took one to drive into town and resupply. they are the worst bikes I ever road it was like going uphill both ways even downhill it would slow down believe me carry in 30 pounds on your back in walking is a lot easier it wore me out. that's why the machine is taking a rest day

[hikerboy57]

karma the only reason I didn't slow down to talk to you again was because I had too much momentum. was great seeing you and I'm sure I'll see you again either tomorrow or the next day.

I've been there Rasty. It's pretty nice. I stuck by head in the "bunk" room. It was kinda dark and "dungeon like" so we decided to rent a cabin instead. It was the BEST!! We rode bikes while we here there too! :) It was fun! Right as we were coming into Uncle Johnny's we encountered a "lady hiker" at the last shelter. She had "issues". :) Folks at Uncle Johnny's was really helpful to her. I was impressed. The guy that shuttled us into town seem "burned out"... but he was nice to us! :) I never saw Uncle Johnny himself.

All too often, especially in large chain restaurants and corporate cafeterias, I find myself being served this dry, flavorless, unpalatable brick that they euphemistically refer to as "skinless boneless chicken breast" I'm still not sure what it is or where they obtain such a substance, but I can tell you that it certainly does not come from any animal known as a chicken, at least in the traditional sense of the word.

I don't get the fixation with chicken breasts. The worst part of the whole bird if you don't count the gizzard.Thank you! Am so glad to see this written by someone in food service! All too often, especially in large chain restaurants and corporate cafeterias, I find myself being served this dry, flavorless, unpalatable brick that they euphemistically refer to as "skinless boneless chicken breast" I'm still not sure what it is or where they obtain such a substance, but I can tell you that it certainly does not come from any animal known as a chicken, at least in the traditional sense of the word.

It's overcooked because it's 100% contaminated with salmonella so cooks cook it to 165 degrees which dries it out.

I just found some sort of dehydrated cheesecake my daughter and I will give a shot in a couple of weeks. She was more entranced with the can of self-heating coffee. I warned her about the weight. She claims it's for the first morning and sometimes the weight is worth it. I did pick up a couple of dehydrated coffee and hot chocolate packs (almost pitchers, but foil) to give a try to, as well. May not be any good, but hey, worth an experiment.

My body has been at rest nursing ankle tendonitis for one month. Gained ten pounds. Going to have to lighten my pack by the same amount to hike with you guys even for a little. Got my big 4 to four lbs. if the forecast holds. That leaves room for six pounds of cheesecake.:D

This is AT related. There's an Audie Murphy movie on TCM right now (and it's not a war movie).

Is there a monument on the AT where his plane went down?

[Astro]

Eyoc...

And that is why KFC and other cut it up for us, so we can eat parts we like the best.
So I guess it is HYOH, PYOP, and EYOC. ;)

Not at the exact spot the plane crashed but close to it. Monument is about 50 yards off the AT. Between Niday and Pickle Branch shelters in Va.
