I was thinking of maybe a tie being that it's a special occasion.

[Trillium]

Hard to participate in the convo w/ all these Mainers and New Englanders when I've only been in Maine one time to do a hike in a preserve south of Phippsburg.

Afterwards, I think we went to Bath for some lunch and they were having a summer festival at which one of the main activities were old fire trucks pulls. Never seen anything like that. But everyone was friendly and I bought some great Maine honey and maple syrup. Also a blueberry soda if memory serves that was out of this world.

[coach lou]

Max, my day pack ain't ultra-light either!:rolleyes:

[rocketsocks]

I think my red crocks would be perfect.with no socks, eeehw i hate that feelin.

It'll have to be a really, really, really long one because I'm modest.

This is the second season after I moved into a cottage with Overload. It was a weed bed with 3 almost dead roses, when I got there. I have no digitals of my gardens at the home I owned for 16 years!:sunNice, very nice Coach! I love flowers.

[HikerMom58]

I think my red crocks would be perfect.

I agree,,, but they have more pink than red in them. I'll wear those superwoman boots and other stuff. ;)

[HikerMom58]

Nice, very nice Coach! I love flowers.

Very nice indeed... I love flowers... good job reviving the flower garden! :sun

[HikerMom58]

Well that really sucks. You will only be 9 miles away from me and no time to eat in Glasgow. :( x 1000

Aww... I know 9 miles. :( Well, you were about 5 miles from me when you ate at the 3 Lil Pigs a while ago... remember? :0)

I had to hunt to find out if DH saw my post.... he did.

Never been to Maine myself yet. My first step into Maine will be on the AT, so looks like will be 3 years away. Something to look forward to.

My oldest son when 2 or 3 started saying his favorite color was pink. I told him no son, you mean red, or light red.

Yeah, they are coral in person... more red/pink in a pic. :0)

Me thinks that from time to time members on WB change their username to somethin totally different than they once were.... But the sig. stays the same. I like it when I figure out who they were B4 and who they are now.

Astro in July.. nice!! Teacher & Snacktime, in the fall, along with Coach and Overload, are thinking about coming down. Cedar Tree might be doing another section in the Fall. I wish RS could come as well. If Coach comes down MAYBE we could talk TW and S' into coming for a weekend. Special K and her dad is on her way, as we speak. Tuck and friends are coming for a section soon... I know I'm forgetting someone... Oh yeah- PJ is moving up the trail....
NCMedic is starting a SOBO soon. : >) Lots of hikers on the move... : >) Just like ur avatar..cute!

The Silly Walkers which now includes ROBIN!! :>) are still going STRONG!!!!! ChinMusic and B-Rocket are doing GREAT! :>) I'm sad I didn't get to meet Karma. I know there's more.. I gotta go get my coffee ....BB is not coming South.. rats! Neither is HB. :( for now, anyway.

OK. Yeah coach had mentioned maybe coming down. Come on down, coach! That would be great if TW and S' could come, too. :) RS come,too? :eek: (JK socks) Didn't know Teacher and Snacktime were coming. I'm not familiar with the rest but if they need a shuttle in my area, feel free to give them my phone number. Maybe I can help them out.

I'm doing well, thank you. The wife and I hiked from the parking lot to Hobby Lobby yesterday.
Right now I'm working on getting my post count up in this thread. I made a dumb remark about the ATC in another thread so I might be walking that back later. It's just walking, right?

[Gray Blazer]

I found This Was and Aqualung on vinyl yesterday. Now I just have to find Thick As a Brick and Songs From the Woods and our Jethro Tull collection will be complete.

[Gray Blazer]

TW is catching up with HB in thread posts in the cafe. Go TW.

[Gray Blazer]

I wonder if anybody besides HB has read all the threads in the cafe. I'll tell you the truth ... if a post is over four lines, I don't read it.

[coach lou]

That would be a whole lot of vinyl, I really have lost count maybe 43-45 albums since 1968..............I may have 30 odd on CD...........20 at all times in the Fish Car!22056

22058Hey Coach, here's my bike. I got pics of the flower box too but Shellie wont let me post them cause the yard people haven't been here yet, and the Magnolia trees have dropped a ton of leaves. They're due here today. I said it don't matter. She said I could post before and afters. Anyway, here's my ride. It has the off-road wheels and tires and gears on it now. I have a street set-up too. 22057

Nice, I've been toying with getting a new Mtn. Bike, but the one I got works good, I pieced it together from 3 my boss got from the transfer Station, I chain it to trees when I hike for a few days or dump it in the weeds when i fish down rail trails and don't sweat it. That seat tube....wow, is that special order or home made......you tall guys have your own issues!:D

Seat tube is special order. Can't leave this one anywhere. I lock it up just to go in the convenience store. One time I took it to Walmart and completely broke it down and put it in a shopping cart. They thought I was crazy. But do you know they tagged every part that wasn't attached. They must have really wanted my dollar. I had a pretty cool one speed that I took to the woods and fishing and did like you do.

Cool color. I used to be able to tell you what year or years they were from the color. Outta touch now with that end of the business.
I may go back to my old shop when I go back to FL this winter and see just what it would take to go to 29's.

HI MD ... Nice bike. My son is in2 mountain biking! I think it's a fun sport to watch with friends. I think he did the Snot Cycle race...I don't remember where that was. :>)

Thanks, I really like it. I'm not too up on bikes either. I just can't afford another (I can barely keep up with maintenance on that one) so I try not to look. One day I will be buying a Rumblefish though... Those things are amazing. :)

The stuff I ride is super rocky and technical so the 29s really help me keep rolling over the rock gardens. It's a taller feeling bike, of course, and that took a little getting used to but the advantages are pretty obvious. I think Trek (Gary Fisher) really nailed it with the G2 geometry too... It feels just as nimble as my old 26" Tassajara, if not more so.

My buddy got a Trek Marlin last year for like $600 and it's a 29er with disc brakes... Bikes have really come down a lot and features that used to be big bucks are now coming standard. :D

[MDSection12]

Oh I've heard of Snot Cycle... You don't forget that name once you hear it! :)

I have a lot of family in Roanoke, by the way. Love the area down there. My grandparents had a house on Smith Mountain Lake that we went to at least twice a year... Some of the best times of my life for sure. My bachelor party last year was on a houseboat down there... Man that was fun. :)

Sorry if I come off rude in my posts elsewhere, I really don't mean to. I think I get a little too into the 'hypothetical' when posting on forums like this. I'm definitely a little too analytical for my own good. :)

[Deer Hunter]

I almost forgot this morning. Pretty soon it will be just habit. I click on yours as soon as I see you. That has become habit. Good one too.

I have a folder with links to songs. The hard part is figuring out which one to link to each day.

29's and discs were just coming into age when I left the business. Hard tails were making a comeback because of the discovery of the loss of energy created by a shocked rear. (so some say) I'm hoping my old boss remembers how much money I made him and will let me order out of the dealer catalog. (LOL)

Ya the tech has really come a long way since I've been riding (about ten years.) I've heard that full suspension bikes don't climb as well due to that loss of energy... But supposedly the new generation of rear shocks have technology that combats that (Rock Shox calls it the 'Brain' I think.) I have heard it's still not perfect though. I really like climbing (did 1,500 feet in 15 miles last night as an 'easy ride') so that was part of my thinking in sticking with a hard tail... The other part was price tag. :)

Looks like we're in for a bumpy ride over the next 24 hours. My company already sent out a sitrep to its employees. :eek I've got a scout meeting tonight about 30 minutes from my home.

I'm not buying the hype, yet... It's been calm and clear all day today, and still shows no signs of changing. I'm driving a hiker down to Harper's Ferry tonight, and I'm hoping I can do some fishing (or bike riding, haven't decided yet) while I'm there.

A friend of mine who is well versed in weather stuff told me that derechos are notoriously unpredictable and even though the situation looks fitting he thinks it is irresponsible to be predicting that as of now.

I'm not holding my breath for the derecho either but I won't be surprised to see heavy rain, strong wind gusts and maybe a tornado or two pop out of this system. We keep large area weather maps up out here and you can already see the system building and moving in. It won't be here for another couple of hours (my guess) but could still pack a wallop.

We keep large area weather maps up out here and you can already see the system building and moving in. It won't be here for another couple of hours (my guess) but could still pack a wallop.

Oh ok, I'll keep an eye out then. I guess maybe I shouldn't plan on too much time in Harper's Ferry.

Derecho sounds delicious anyway... Does that come with guacamole? :)

Nope. You have to order from the "sides" menu. :D

So if I stay up much of the night "just in case" and I must keep myself, um, hydrated does that mean my calories only count for tomorrow after midnight :D Maybe I should just stick to mystical cafe calories. I hear they're less fattening.

Yes... Calories only count on the day they are consumed. :D Additionally, if you bake cookies really small...they have no calories!

WR, Thanks a true classic I never grow tired of seeing.

First time for me. That was an awesome afternoon pick me up. Loved it. LOVED IT!!I'd never seen that before either but after your and Astro's positive comments, I had to check it out. Oh my gosh, that was terrific. I LOVED it too!

My favourite AT video ever.
Bookmarked on my home pc.
Thigh still hurting so my pack and I got off at WV9 (17.1 mile).
Currently in a hotel in Charlestown about to go and eat somewhere.
Army, IM and numerous others at Bears Den hostel tonight I think.

[Astro]

glad to see you're still alive

Same to you too HB!
So do you think he was looking for like Venture Capitalist Angel Investors to provide money for helping him fix up the Doyle?
Or was it some kind of angle investors would take (like house flipping, derivatives, etc..) that I was missing out on? :-?

Who was that guy?

He actually used to teach at the boarding school between Franklin, NC and Dillard, GA (Rayburn Gap or something like that). I believe he was raising money for a charity on his thru hike, and doing some other adventure after that. He put a link to his website on WB a while back. So search on his trail name Amplexus here at WB and you can probably find it. If not try Google or Bing. From what I read in the past he seemed like a very interesting and talented person.

Oz, look at the bright side, you know you have become a "real hiker" when you get off the trail early for the day at "ONLY" 17.1 miles. :)
I bet you would NOT have been saying that back in March.

Derecho sounds delicious anyway... Does that come with guacamole? :)You have me hungry for some chicken tacos w/ a side of guac now.

Didn't know what derecho meant so googled:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2013/06/12/weather-derecho-explained/2416225/

A massive line of fierce storms forecast to wallop the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday and Thursday has meteorologists warning about the possibility of a derecho.


So what exactly is a derecho, and why is it so dangerous?


A derecho is a widespread, long-lived wind storm associated with a band or shelf of rapidly moving thunderstorms.
By definition, a derecho has to be at least 240 miles long and have winds of at least 58 miles per hour or greater. However, meteorologist Howard Bernstein says many classic derechos have winds that can top 100 miles per hour, causing extensive damage, leading to massive power outages, and toppling tons of trees.


The now infamous 700-mile derecho last June that roared into Washington, D.C., topped 100 miles per hour.

The roller coaster is nothing compared to North Carolina.
My left thigh has extreme pain develop on downhills.
Seems to be some sort of pressure exerted by hipbelt causing it.
Coupled with heat today it just made the last 6 miles something I will do tomorrow (yes Hb - slackpacking).

try adjusting the load lifters on the top of your shoulder straps, possibly readjust the shoulder straps as well. this has happened to me from time to time, and i realized i had slightly more weight being carried on one side. some small pack adjustments and the pain went away.

you may be better off doing it all wrong

[atmilkman]

ATM, looking at the position of that bike seat, you must be well over 6' tall.

Yep. I'm 6'6" and go about 2 ahem fifty ahem something. I've got clip-in pedal for that bike but I never could get used to them off-road. Street they're fine.

Walked a while with hipbelt undone and it helped.
Feel I have transferred as much as possible to shoulder straps.
Pack weight with three days food but no water is 29lbs. If it persists I may have to try a different pack.

Oz, you opening up a outfitter when you get home?

[OzJacko]

I think HB should buy the Doyle and turn it into the café.

From what I've seen the Doyle looks too rundown for even the cafe.
Maybe open a cafe in Duncannon in opposition.
We could put a bunkhouse where the pool used to be and clean the tater machine.

[OzJacko]

no Coach - it's all used stuff.

We could spruce it up, I need a suite off the balcony. There is some really super trout fishing in the country west of that area, and the small mouth north on the Susquehanna is pretty awesome to!

the doyle still has walls. theyd have to come down

[OzJacko]

Because IM was coming into HF tomorrow and I wanted to be able to leave gear in room tomorrow I got a double room.
It appears he and army have already booked somewhere else tomorrow.
Guess I'll sleep in the other bed tomorrow.

I would plan on horizontal as that would be easiest to maintain.

[MDSection12]

Yep. I'm 6'6" and go about 2 ahem fifty ahem something. I've got clip-in pedal for that bike but I never could get used to them off-road. Street they're fine.
I literally just made the switch a few days ago but so far I like clipless for the trail. I have them set super loose, which means I can't jump too hard or I'll come out but it also means I always get out when I need to. They seem to really help overall control when going over technical trail features. :)

DEEERRR Hunterrrrrrrrr..... I have a question for ya. Is there any cool/funny story behind that HUGE dino and that funky lookin chick that is sitting on it in Glascow? The hikers LOVED it but wanted to know the reason it is there. I told them I didn't know but I might be able to make up somethin. ;)

Nah, I'll just ask Deer Hunter. Soooo.... Deer Hunter.. do you know anything about this?

Astro in July.. nice!! Teacher & Snacktime, in the fall, along with Coach and Overload, are thinking about coming down. Cedar Tree might be doing another section in the Fall. I wish RS could come as well. If Coach comes down MAYBE we could talk TW and S' into coming for a weekend. Special K and her dad is on her way, as we speak. Tuck and friends are coming for a section soon... I know I'm forgetting someone... Oh yeah- PJ is moving up the trail....
NCMedic is starting a SOBO soon. : >) Lots of hikers on the move... : >) Just like ur avatar..cute!

The Silly Walkers which now includes ROBIN!! :>) are still going STRONG!!!!! ChinMusic and B-Rocket are doing GREAT! :>) I'm sad I didn't get to meet Karma. I know there's more.. I gotta go get my coffee ....BB is not coming South.. rats! Neither is HB. :( for now, anyway.

If it's during the day it will be my wife (Mamma Bear) and I plan on getting home early if the weather's going to be as bad as they say it is. Might even just work from home to be on the safe side (in case trees come down on some of these back roads). I've got a saw, truck and tractor to cut my way out but back in... ;)

Yup, the clouds looked crazy but that was about it. I dropped a hiker (HalfNote) off in Harper's Ferry last night and rode my bike around a bit (I was hoping for a longer ride, but didn't realize Harper's Ferry can only be accessed from 340, which I didn't want to ride on.) I hope he's hunkered down. I warned him about the weather and he's planning on taking a zero in HF anyway. :)

[hikerboy57]

we just got the first raindrops here but it stopped, we're supposed to get hit starting early this afternoon into tonight, expecting 3-4 inches,gale force winds. the record for the month of june here is 10 inches. we've got six in the books already, so we may have a new record by tomorrow and we're not halfway through the month.
i expect water should be plentiful for the next few months.but hiking in heavy rain sucks.

I guess that might be a good reason to hike with a smart phone.

If it's so smart, why would it be out hiking in the worst of the storm? ;)

[Deer Hunter]

Everyone stay safe....

HI- RS and HB!! :)

Yes, humidity is high it feels like. Moisture everywhere. How are you feeling, mom? Ok now?

[rocketsocks]

Should I leave the furniture in the pool to miss the second wave, or take it out and stow it?
This is my biggest dilemma today.....:D

[rocketsocks]

Lewis & Clark did not have a smart phone:rolleyes:No, but they had a Sacajawea;)

[MDSection12]

[MDSection12]

Those were a dollar extra.

Loving the link in your sig, BTW. I'm an hour and a half in. It's made for a very relaxed morning. :)

yeah I caught a couple of the shows where they sang some beatles tunes....Lucy in the sky with diamonds, and a couple others. i think the guy that posted this(far as I can tell)mixed all these tunes together...don't think it ever came out as an album???

Ya they definitely seem to be mixed from live shows. Lucy is my favorite one so far, pretty awesome you got to hear it live. I'm not really a Dead 'fan,' but I do like their stuff. :)

Just finished... Lucy was definitely the high point. :D

I'm only 26 so it's all well before my time but when I was in elementary school my mom bought me a record player at a yard sale and taught me how to use it... Once I could be trusted she gave me free reign of her record collection. I listened to a lot of Beatles back then. Looking back I wish I had gotten into my dad's record collection a bit more (more southern/classic rock) but he was a little more protective of his. :)

[Driver8]

De nada! (Agua Raton - Cracks me up! :D)

Right next to the mouthy rat, Boca. ;)

[Wise Old Owl]

ya know you have it bad when you cut your papers in half to save a gram....

[Driver8]

That calculates to roughly last week of June/ 1st week of July.....Oz you may be having Cheesecake with ME on My birthday!!!!!:banana

I'm getting excited! Looking forward to meeting you, Jacko!

45 was the little guy and 33 was the big one, I think? I had barking dogs singing Christmas carols on 45. :cool:

Looks like this storm is not as fierce as feared. We've dodged a bullet? The second wave headed towards WDC area could get bigger and fiercer, though.

I'm just West of DC... So far it's been a fairly calm day. The first line of storms had some wind and a few spots of hail, but it passed so quickly the damage was pretty minimal even in the worst areas. Now this second line is coming up, but it looks to be weakening and dipping a bit more South than expected.

[Driver8]

So many big storms have come in as big as predicted or bigger lately. Nice that this one gave us a bit of a break.
