Rasty you jumped out of a car...you are dead to us & marinating in wine. LOL

Uh is that pickled? or Smashed?

[Mountain Mike]

PS bring your thermarest to Monson & the crew can give you a viking funeral.

Brined. Pickled is cooked.

[Mountain Mike]

Probably a little of both Woo

[Sarcasm the elf]

You guys should pay for my hut stays because I' m a totally amazing section, I mean THRU hiker, and I deserve it because I walk every day on nothing but chicken ankles!

I'll admit that I'm willing to impersonate a through hiker while in the whites. Only problem is that the only time I've been there was in December.

[Mountain Mike]

When I die cremate me. I have enough bourbon in me I shouldn't be to hard to light. & if you want you can sing kubaya.

I followed one around in the basement of the firehouse years ago, but that's about it.

I've never felt any particular warmth toward profiles, they only serve as a gloomy reminder of how much elevation gain is still ahead of me before I can stop for the day

Does it have to be of ourselves.

[magic_game03]

Profilers are like crackheads. I don't hate you cause you profile it's your life, but I'm not going there. They're too jumpy.

(yes, I understand it's a bad analogy but it works)

[Train Wreck]

I really don't see how anyone but Mountain Mike could possibly have a picture of their profile.

Why that date?

[Sarcasm the elf]

I assumed it had to be our own photo. Otherwise I would post this one, which I stumbled across when I first joined the site is probably my favorite photo on whiteblaze.

Mayan calender!

[Sarcasm the elf]

That's a good one.

Much appreciated!

My buddy took it with his cellphone while I was looking at the sunrise, I didn't even realize that he snapped the photo. Apparently my dog knew the photo was being taken, the way she's posing is priceless.

Sorry had to do a post in another link.

[Mountain Mike]

Why is it when you say this is my way but HYOH they take offense?

[atmilkman]

You've heard the bit about it's for quitters haven't you?

[atmilkman]

Sorry had to do a post in another link.I read it. That was well addressed.

[Mountain Mike]

I commented I liked the way the AT was when I hike it 24 years ago. Less town stops, no cell phones...More with being on trail vs going from town to town but HYOH & guy jumped me for being on a comp.

[Mountain Mike]

Thanks Milkman. I had to restrain myself a bit. Didn't want to come off as entitled. I am here because I like to help. I have 5k miles under my pack. I think I can contribute some.

Nope, he's sitting next to a computer. If he was on a computer he'd break it...

Nope, he's behind a computer. If he was on a computer he'd break it...

if he was behind it how does he reach the keys on the keyboard. If I were a betting man, I'd say he was in front.

you don't know, he could be using a cellphone while lying on the couch, therefore the device could be on him and he could be behind it simultaneously

[Mountain Mike]

This is not, didn't start as a personal attack. Just different opinions on hiking styles. To chase me in here is just stalking. Wow I have a cyber stalker in Whiteblaze. Is that a first?

If they had just a tad more ankle support, I could go for them.
Sorry, I'll be rocking a pair of Vasque high tops at the prom ;)

[Mountain Mike]

Thank you my friends

[Mountain Mike]

with properly coordinated gaitors I hope! I thought it was going to be formal.

[Mountain Mike]

So now we know the rest of the story...your good looks caused a distraction/train wreck.

[Sarcasm the elf]

Never done it before but considering ignore list

Funny enough, I thought the same thing today on an unrelated matter...

[Train Wreck]

Thank you my friends

No prob.
What I really want to know is, does your profile look like this:18463

Or more like this? 18464

[Mountain Mike]

Claims to be a thru hiker like 7 years & 5000 miles. Proved to be an a**hole.

[Train Wreck]

I found you too. now i'm buying you gifts.

I would much rather have a gift certificate good for unlimited stays throughout the Whites hut system. Did I tell you how much I really deserve to have my lodging subsidized because I'm such an awesome hiker?

[Mountain Mike]

I think my best profile is my member pic. On the Long trail, taking a Snickers break on the "nose" of Mt Mansfield.

[Mountain Mike]

But I need that donation for a flight to the hiker prom!

[Sarcasm the elf]

I'm checking out everbody, see you later on today.

[Mountain Mike]

I just want the ability to meet my friend one day in Monson. TW wants you to support her actually hiking. Which mock charity deserves you money more? I may have to rethink this I'm leaning towards TW.

[Train Wreck]

same here, night everyone, tell Oz he needs to clean up the place a bit when he comes in around 5 am. Lots of people came tramping through here this weekend!

Haven't been to the Cafe for a while, thought I'd drop by while I sip on a bottle of magnesium citrate at 8:30 in the morning, what a way to start the day. I finally gave in to the nagging wife and had a physical, passed with colors, now they want to check the plumbing, dont mind the snake too much but the crap you have to do the day before isn't fun. Can't eat anything but jello and clear liquids, not normally not a vodka person but it's clear, the wife was kind enough to make a batch of jello shots last night, I'll have those for lunch.

Yup, I saw that....if you were in "real" conversation that wouldn't have ever happened, obviously.... it becomes funny after a while. :P I also feel like it's easier to "say" things to people via the computer that you would NEVER say to their face. I know it's true for myself. I told WM, I didn't like him for his remark to me. (I would have NEVER said that to his face, upon meeting him) ( I would have still thought it but wouldn't have said it... there's a big difference) I should have told him- I resemble that remark... LOL!!

I plan to head that way in March, take up where I left off near Damascus and go as far as the knees allow, at least to Harper's Ferry, did the 76 mile Foothills Trail last week and no knee issues so that's a good sign, but for today I'll stay close to the throne.

[Train Wreck]

Only if you are a thru hiker which makes you entitled to it. Otherwise you'll need to hike on over here like everyone else.

Thanks, there's lots of reading up for me to do.
Does anyone ever really try this?!?
Here's an excerpt from the site:
Q18: What is a Presie Traverse? What is a Hut Traverse?
A18: A Presie Traverse is a dayhike, hitting all the peaks in the Presidential Range. That includes Madison, Adams, Jefferson, (Clay), Washington, Monroe, (Franklin), Eisenhower, Clinton, and some people include Jackson and Webster. Keep in mind, Jackson was named after the NH State Geologist, not the President. It's a long hard day, and many people who start don't finish. Most people do it north to south, but it can be done both ways.
A Hut Traverse is an even longer dayhike, hitting all eight AMC Huts in a 24 hour period. It usually starts at Carter Notch at midnight, heading out 19 Mile Brook, then up to Madison and on south. Huts are the objective, not summits, so most hearty souls avoid all the summits along the way if they can. It's close to 50 miles of difficult hiking, so only the best hikers with the best weather make it.

I hope that's not one of the options you guys had in mind when you said there were ways to minimize hut stays :eek:

Take your pick, but the hut traverse involves starting & ending miles from a road. Kinda like the AT.

[Mountain Mike]

The time I just went to kick back & clear my head there for a week I helped with helo drops for the composted privy. My friend showed up with a Wild Turkey resupply for the weekend & a guy that hiked in for the day to fish offered us the trout he caught. After frying the trout in way to much butter I used it to cook up some rice. Watching the lake turn a rainbow of colors as the sun set, fish feeding on bugs & a moose at the far end as we ate & sipped on our bourbon...PRICELESS.

Yeah but they tore down the 160' suspension bridge. While playing on the Long Trail this year I shared a campsite with a ridge runner & he told me FS decided it was unsafe & because inside wilderness boundry they decided to dismantle it. Before he worked for the GMC he helped haul out the pieces.

[hikerboy57]

the first time there i stayed at desolation shelter in 76, also in the wilderness area. i think they tore it down in the early 90s.plenty of beautiful places to camp though

randolph mountain club. they maintain over 100 trails in the whites

There is a link to them in "hike the Whites" They maintain three cabins on N end of presidentials & several campsites.

[Mountain Mike]

Who? How can it be popular if I don't like it?

[Train Wreck]

OK. Is there any particular guidebook you two would recommend, besides the obvious (ATC book & maps). I really need to get some plans in place if we're going to reserve space in any of the huts.

[Mountain Mike]

TW I think this is the map I used to buy that covers most of the Whites. The version I had didn't cover the Mahosics but You can pick up an AMC map at Pinkham Notch, or many of the retailers around there.

[hikerboy57]

OK. Is there any particular guidebook you two would recommend, besides the obvious (ATC book & maps). I really need to get some plans in place if we're going to reserve space in any of the huts.
amc white mountain guide gives you all you need about the huts as well as the rmc camps and trails. randolph mountain club also has a guidebood, but the wmg covers more ground. most of the rmc trails are north and west of madison and adams.

[Mountain Mike]

The Map shows Milage & the AMC times adjusted for elevation change & a brief description of the trail(s). Most Guidebooks have TMI as far as I am concerned.

[Mountain Mike]

The "HTW" link posted before can get you to RMC & AMC for hut info, reservations, etc. Really not much need for a guidebook.

I'd appreciate that. One of my uncles was crushed by a mine car. One fell off a trestle to his death. A lot were dying of black lung, 25 -26 years old. My daddy didn't want to go down in the mines, so everbody told him to follow the coal and go to Detroit. That's what he did and worked in the steel mill.

We haven't been up there in awhile, but for quite a few years we used to go up and paddle the fall release of the Russell Fork of the Levisa River, which is in the same general area (Pikeville, Breaks Interstate Park). It's still a beautiful area, even tho you can see the industry left its mark.

I have a very similar family background. My grandfather was a coal miner, and my dad and 5 brothers all worked some in the mines although the military and Detroit auto factories was their path out until they all ended up in Florida. Several uncles had black lung (including the ones married to my dad's sisters). My oldest uncle actually had own small indedpendent mine, until a shaft fell on him. He lived but was physically not same after that. It was a tough way to make a living back then.

It was a tough life but it was honest. If you wanted out of the mines the factories and the mills in Deetroit (that's what I call it, folks up that way don't take kindly to it, they say Datroit, always trying to correct me LOL) was the way to go. They really missed the hills but at least now they weren't dying in the mines. I still got a lot of kin in Monroe MI, about 30 mi south of Deetroit (LOL) and a lot ended up in Dogtown, AL up on Lookout Mountain where my granny's side of the family was from. I got over 115 relatives and some slaves (who were considered family) buried in one cemetery on that mountain and over 40 in another dating back to the 1830's. Sorry about the family history rambling but like you said it was a hard life but like I said it was honest and I know you're proud and so am I.
