[hikerboy57]

[Wise Old Owl]

wait it used to be $2 what haaaapened....... oh nevermind.

[Sarcasm the elf]

Did you know that gsmnp is now charging fees,that you can return 25 yr old boots to rei,that ignore laws you dont agree with.its been an interesting day.

Can you return your GSMNP permit if you feel that you didn't get your money's worth out of it?

Will they still accept the return of you've already used the permit to hike the whole park?

[Sarcasm the elf]

@ $4.57 per gallon, sucks really bad!

$4.57/gallon? Are you buying that fancy premium stuff? I think it's still $4.09 for regular in shelton. Probably $0.60/gallon cheaper if you get outside of the northeast.

Probably that fancy imported stuff..i paid $3.99999/gal today.

[hikerboy57]

HHave you ever tried tobuy exactly 1 gallon of gas?

[OzJacko]

Hey HB!!
Maine in August sounds good to me....:D

[OzJacko]

Pants thread, dog thread, skunk thread, corkscrew thread, no gun thread today?
Hey I was thinking when I'm through with my hike next year, I'll write a book and then I'll post a really great review of it on every hiking site I can find using all the trailnames you guys have and then maybe I'll start a gun thread so everybody gets too distracted to pick holes in my reviews....
What a plan!
I might even make one review USING some CAPITALS!:D

[coach lou]

You know my Hot Rod Stationwagon needs Premium, And Maine does not have all the gas tax we have, and just maybe the price may come down to a reasonable price by next August. With any luck that will be the third or fourth time we'll get a chance to walk with Oz:banana

[HikerMom58]

Gas in VA is back up close to 4 bucks a gallon :(.... I hope it will come back down by then 2...

I'm sleepy. It's too early....Yawn!!!

I can only do two weeks. What kind of distance each day?

[hikerboy57]

Avg 10-12mpd.i decide how far in the am.each day..

Sounds good to me. How much time are you planning?

[Sarcasm the elf]

Avg 10-12mpd.i decide how far in the am.each day..

Thats funny, my legs usually decide my distance in the pm of each day.

[hikerboy57]

Planning on taking August off. I would prefer to go sobo,its a different vibe than nobo when your hiking with guys that have been on the trail for 4 or 5 months.do katahdin down to monson with me.or nobo from gorham.the hmw is beautiful and im dying to go back.

[hikerboy57]

Thats funny, my legs usually decide my distance in the pm of each day.

Oh ive changed my plan more often than not.no agenda is my favorite planning technique.

[hikerboy57]

Planning on getting some new gear in cincinnati.they just opened a new rei.then i can return it all when im done.im already quiite sure it wont measure up to my expectations.dont even know what im buying yet.dont need anything.maybe a new pack.

You could try a career change on a trawler.

[OzJacko]

[OzJacko]

Bring one to Maine in August and we'll have 6 use it at once.
What a frat party!!

In Maine in August it would be downright frigid.
We'd need a frat party to keep things warm.
Have to make sure the Hooters girls come too or we'll freeze.:D

If she does it might be warm but wouldn't be good for conversation. I hate celebrities whose IQ don't start with 1....

[Mountain Mike]

I heard her's does. She has hired a tutor & trying to break 20 this year.

[Papa D]

I have two friends that talked me into running the Art Loeb Trail in NC in a day this next Thursday (oct. 11) - they bailed. It's still on my schedule - I plan to camp out Wednesday night near Daniel Boone Scout Camp in Pisgah Forest, NC, run the trail, and arrive at Davidson River Campground Thursday night (where I may stash a beer or two in the river). I'll likely hitch-hike the shuttle to the top on Wednesday - - if anybody wants to join me, let me know - - I'm going to carry a camelbak mule with a light rain jacket, cliff bars, gu, and aqua-mira - that's all - goal is about 3 miles per hour. The last time I did this hike, it took me 11 hours - - I think I can cut it to 9 hours with some efficiency.

[Rasty]

City (Sunday): Min 12 Max 21
Monday Mostly sunny. Min 10 Max 23 Tuesday Sunny. Min 11 Max 26 Wednesday Sunny. Min 12 Max 28 Thursday Sunny. Min 15 Max 31 Friday Sunny. Min 18 Max 34 Saturday Shower or two. Min 16 Max 23

Sort of magic weather really, but I have to admit I don't like over 28 celsius.

I'm looking at using my 20% discount at REI this coming week!:D
Have got my new pack coming from ULA but one of the remaining gear items on our list is a new sleeping bag for my son Daniel and we've been waiting for a special to offset mail costs.

I have this in my bookmarks because I'm forever converting stuff you guys post.
http://www.onlineconversion.com/

I'm old enough that I grew up with miles and gallons and pounds/ounces but I have problems.
Miles, yards etc - no problem. I can convert in my head but don't need to as they have "meaning" to me and I don't need conversion.
Pounds are a bit different as I am getting there with pack weights etc, but when I was a young 'un we used "stones" i.e. 14 pounds as a unit.
I used to be 11 stone and a few pounds etc. Need to convert to now make sense of what my 95+ kilograms equates to.

Volume is the biggie.
Your pints/gallons etc are different from the ones I grew up with. Not too bad when I worked out your pint is almost exactly a litre but our pint was 16 ounces not 20, but then your ounces are different too.
Locally they measure backpack volume in cubic centremetres. e.g. 3300cc backpack.

[OzJacko]

Actually just had an airconditioner fitted to master bedroom the last week.
We have a housewide evaporative unit but it is useless on the worst summer nights due to humidity.

[OzJacko]

Hmmm Just been dabbling with conversions. 215lbs....:p
Obviously will be doing some walking between now and March.
I intend to hit the AT at just about exactly 200. I figure if I'm any lower I risk being too low in Maine.

[OzJacko]

Daniel will be doing more hiking than me before then as he has about 40lbs to lose....:eek:

Thank Goodness it's hockey season, ever since I twisted my knee at the end of July I've gotten no excersize, I've walked 20 miles and I'm back up to 200.........................I'm only 5' 6"............I need to get out!

Our pint is 16 ounces too! A quart is two pints (32oz) which is 1.5oz less than a liter.

2 tablespoon = 1 ounce
8 ounce = 1 cup
2 cup = 1 pint
2 pint = 1 quart
4 quart = 1 gallon

You might be looking at old imperial measurements which I think only the English colonies used.

It serves you right for abandoning our perfectly good system of measurement for that "new aged" metric nonsense! Kilogram, meters, deciliters...it's all just a fad.

If its windy it could use another stake to hold it down. Use one of your tent stakes. Works like a champ. I'm trying to add a simmer ring but the burn time was the same on my first attempt.

All you need is the wood sticks from the store and raw ingredients and a sauce packet... its all about a lightweight support such as fish grill pilfered from an old mini stove...or you use one of the rim units on a wood support. Honest a old school green switch and a knife would get you there too.

Then ask Rasty how to put the rods down the mouse...I prefer them whole.....

[hikerboy57]

you ever think you should have had grandkids first?
shes beautiful

[HikerMom58]

Thanks... HB. Yeah, having them first would have been great! It's everything everyone said it would be.... the stress is gone from the "big responsiblity". It's just FUN times!

Are you moved yet? Maybe you aren't moving but i thought I read something about that in the Cafe....

[Wise Old Owl]

Glad you figured it out HM - Cute Owlet!

Cant wait to take them on a walk huh?

Suddenly answering posts and Wb can wait.



I have a blocking plugin virus over here that is stopping my pics on this and other sites.

All moved in,bout half a mile to the beach now instead of just 200 yards.. can try and get up and hike next weekend with a couple ofsobos I met in Maine. they're hitting New York later this week.

[Papa D]

Greetings everyone - just checking in - - just got back from another nice weekend in NC - - did an interesting trail run today around Pilot Rock in Pisgah (not Pilot Mountain, Pilot Rock) - - got lost in the woods for about 20 minutes and turned around which is a dream day for me - had fun finding my way out - - nice fall day, wet leaves on the trail, overcast, 50s - - really perfect for a trail run - - did about 8 miles actual plus about a half mile of back-tracking.

[Wise Old Owl]

Well ya missed a lot Papa D... Pepe knocked over the candlelantern and almost burned the shelter... a loose dog scared him! Who forgot the leash..... ?

I see... good that you are all moved in! :) I have always dreamed of living that close to the ocean (200 yards) :) I would even take 1/2 mile:D SOBO's in NY? Sa-WEET, that you can hike with them again! I'm sure they must be pretty cool! If they make it to VA you can have them look me up, if they need anything coming thru....

PD, my friend:

I'm starting to run a bit. Twice this week did 7ish miles in my flatish town, 1.5 miles of it jogging in the first go of 6.6 miles, 2 miles of it running Friday night on a 7.3 mile jaunt. Both times the pavement pounded my frame quite a bit - left hip sore both times, but both times I got that addictive runner's high that begs for a fix. A good thing for me since running locally is easier and cheaper than long trips to hiking trails. I'm toying in my mind with setting a goal - to complete a local Thanksgiving 4 mile race for the first time, running the whole thing, of course with a few water stops. If I could complete the thing in 50 minutes or better, I'd be thrilled. Just running the two miles Friday, in several spates, was the most I've run in one day in I don't know how long. Great feeling.

To be clear, I love to hike, but can't do it every day like I'd like. Getting in two or three run/walks a week of significant distance, plus a hike or two weekends, and it starts to have the same effect of long-distance backpacking - big calorie burn. Been hitting the gym a lot, but something about running, especially, that is better even yet, weather permitting.

Only a couple of day hikes with the pooches... Yes, they kept me on my leash and didn't let me wander, unattended.

Have been seriously swamped with work since I got back. Just made my way out from under the pile of work and found my keyboard. Thought about typing for help, then decided to check out the cafe instead.

Missed the cookies but I'll give you some more time off before hassling.:)

Uh-oh... Rasty being nasty? Is he chasing the other hikers with skewered shelter mice? Kids today, I tell ya...

To be expected those cross species things never work out..... who wants to be the parent of a mule?
Rasty's been nasty by ging real hiking and posting beautiful pics to prove it!
I think his right to cyber hike should be suspended until he's returned his camera to REI for a full refund.

I need to check out Rasty's pics. I also need to carve out some time and post my own pics. The camera is currently right next to the computer, but the dang thing has yet to download its own photos for me.
Full refund? Let me guess - People are trying to return things after using them again? Have not been on WB for some time and have been perusing to get caught up.

True, the antlers might snag on branches. But, they might also come in handy to just throw a poncho over - Instant shelter!

If you go skunk-mode...I would worry you might be chased, rather than left alone. Look at Pepe - He seems to attract a lot of attention.

Both times the pavement pounded my frame quite a bit - left hip sore both times, but both times I got that addictive runner's high that begs for a fix.

Good for you D8 - sorry I bailed out on Whiteblaze last night - had chores to attend to - had poured myself a glass of wine and sat down in front of the computer but then realized that I had laundry to attend to (literally) and other housework - - settled in for an hour or so now ..... I'm glad you are running - - the better shape you are in, the more you will enjoy your hikes (and the shorter (what most people think of as long-distances) will seem).

Already happening, PD. A fine thing. At the mo, am reckoning with a naggy, unpleasant sore throat and cold. Argh. Zicam, store brand, does appear to be helping a bit.

We had a high of 77* today. There was a crew regatta on my river this morning and I'm gonna take the ski boat out of the water on Monday.

Well that changed quick... We're in the 40's now and I've got the wood stove fired up, though I admit that's because I like using it. Fun though.

Had a good day, ran the dogs on the horse trails, they're listening great. For the first time in the eight years I've hiked those trails we had several barred owls sounding off around us in the pines, all in all a good weekend.

Starbucks Via is the way to go! I used to take grounds and a press, I like good coffee. It is spendy... but it is lite to carry and comes in individual packets. But then, it's availibility along the trail would be the question, because you are not going to have mail drops are you? I have no trail experience below SNP.

if you soak them in hydrochloric acid for 6 hrs, your feet will be as tough as bone.no worries about toenails either.
your shoes may loosen a bit, too.try superfeet.

found this bottle on the trail with a message in it that said"stop thinking too much, its just walking."

[hikerboy57]

my favorite winter lunch is pizza. im not sure what that was all about. were they talking about on the trail?

on the trail of course i would carry it in a waterproof compression sack, rather than stuff it in the bottom of my pack.but only northbound. southbound i would hang it on the outside of my pack to dry.

[hikerboy57]

ive finally decided how to win the argument of shoes vs boots.
nobo:
left foot- boot.
right foot- shoe.
