The strong wind blowing up L.I. sound into the valley did make things a bit chilly though.I'm really hoping that this cold snap lasts long enough to make a dent in the tick population. Singledigit temps with little to no snow on the ground is a great way to make for a mild tick season.

catfishing is one word...It's kinda a takeoff on the movie catfish where an online girlfriend turns out to be a hoax. I hadn't heard of it either until the recent Manti Te'o scandal.

I got released from Jury duty today. I have to work tomorrow and then I am free for a week. I can't decide between doing a loop in Grayson, AT in the Smokies or making my way up to Shenandoah and hiking from Rockfish North for five or six days. Time for a café poll.

Was it the Cafe printouts that got you off?

I had a brother-in-law who said "sure I think he is guilty, otherwise neither of us would be here". Needless to say he did not get picked either.

Hey! Thought I'd pop into the cafe, been busy. My wife finally caved on having me get snowshoes, and of course the snow promptly melted, and refroze, and melted, and refroze. (And because I have snowshoes, we have a guarantee that it will not snow for the rest of the winter.)

I finally managed to get out for just a few hours yesterday and found the trails like this:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8056/8406343900_feebbdec58_z.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ke9tv/8406343900/)
Icefall on the Plotter Kill (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ke9tv/8406343900/) by ke9tv (http://www.flickr.com/people/ke9tv/), on Flickr

Microspikes all the way, and my hamstrings and groin muscles were bitching today from stamping to set the spikes on that hard ice. And I got a snag in the seat of my favorite pants while glissading (with spikes off - I know better than to glissade while pointy). Still, as HB says, it's all good.

So how's the rest of the gang doing? Getting out any? Any good winter pictures to show around?

Brings back memories of hiking GSMNP last March. Combination of snow and ice makes this interesting. Benefit of having a backpack is that you usually backwards instead of forward.

Don't know about "cat fishing", but phishing is when you trick someone into going to a website where you steal their idenity (get Credit Card info, SS#, Account #, Password, etc..).

When my little brother was young he was getting advice from my grandmother and was trying to make one, but he did not get that far with it. Her father (my great grandfather) had been a moonshiner back in Kentucky. In fact I am named after my father, who is named after her brother (my great uncle) who was shot and killed by revenuers when he was 17 (and my dad was born soon after that).

these are only $1685 - - instead of thru-hiking, you could have some loafers:

Now that I am on "friendly" term, I have to ask a question that has been bugging me. HikerBoy says he is 55 and HikerMom says she is 54. Is the later the formers mom? If so, someone is lying about their age. :)

That's business 101, take 50% of the market share...that's why there's always a Burger King across the street from a Mac Donalds....

When Dave Thomas was running Wendy's he knew McDonalds spent a lot of money on researching the best place to put a store. So he never a cent on that type of research. Instead he just watched where McDonalds put a store and bought land near it.

I think your right. I like jammin' while surfing but it was getting hard to chat. This way we can jump over to the hostel pop on a tune and jump back and yack. By the way, if you go from the cafe to the hostel back to the cafe - is that officially a cyber yo-yo?

I think your cats are related to my dogs. They normally scamper out of the house just fine, but I have had to convince them to go out the past couple of days. They think I am just trying to hog the best spot in front of the fire. :D

Your standard 3 Dog Night becomes a 6 Dog Night when all you have are toy dogs. Here in the south, anything below 30 degrees qualifies for the 6-Dogger. Next couple nights will find me curled up with the Chihuahua 6 Pack. I might get the beer too :)

Ha ha! They ARE related to my dogs! My dogs have crates in "their" room, but that room has windows everywhere. I had to move their crates to the living room, so they will stay toasty at night. During the day, they both sprawl in front of the fire...and give me a "look" when they think I have not been throwing enough wood on the fire.
