I hate peas, but love pea-pods. T-bone steak and pea-pods being cooked as we type.

I tried something different with veggies that I like. Had a nice ribeye last night along with snap beans, squash, onions, celery, jalopeneos all stir fried together with a little olive oil. The beans were a change of pace from the old southern method of boiled with a hunk of fatback.

[nitewalker]

so let me get this straight. no poles, no microspikes, flannel, cotton, and you survived?without a cell phone?
it must have been a harrowing experience.
did you at least have mountain house?

yes to all of the above and especially the mtn house...also had canned spam, ravioli and beef stew...

[nitewalker]

Hold on....am I reading this right? You are bringing a novice on a 175 mile walk in February


yes sir! i belive he can make it. i am waiting till march and warmer weather for the hike...

[Mountain Mike]

Oh the good old days of backpacking! I'm like a bizillion in cat lives if cotton really does kill.

cotton is great if you keep it dry. it is way more comfy than any synthetic crap out there...

[Drybones]

cotton is great .......if you keep it dry....... ...

Now that's a challenge.

Nite walker, you haven't tried turtle fleece?

I would say that you are making me hungry, but you are not... only because I just ate so much t-bone steak and pea-pods that I can hardly move. Your meal sounds delicious though.

[Astro]

Oops.....I just ruined Overloads Peasoup. She made a huge batch for church Superbowl raffle. I was suppose to warm it up this morning. I put it on the stove and went to the head..........she got up to the burning smell. She isn't bringing it.......I'll eat it......so it has a little twang to it.

Just the opposite at our house last night. Wife left meatballs and sauce in crock pot. She meant to leave it on warm. Unfortunately she left it on high. Good part was meatballs were saturated with the sauce. Bad thing was sauce was pretty much disapearing, and some meatballs were burning. Did not look that good, but still tasted pretty good for the most part.

same trip and there was plenty of post holing snow. we were doing the willey range and it got to 70* on this day and it was a struggle to get 5 miles a day. my shins were all banged up by the time i got off the trail. i did put long pant on at some point....

I bet those meatballs would be good dehydrated and thrown in some rice for a trail meal.

[Astro]

dont throw it out!!
im sure itll taste great on our next hike.

Just find place to store it other than your pants. :D

[Astro]

i traversed from nauman to madison one year, stayed at the hut and they served pea soup which i never really cared for before.
had 3 bowls.
everything tastes better when youre starved for calories

You got that right!

:D

[Astro]

Well I'm having a bowl of breakfast pea soup right now, and I think it is fine. She used her 14 yr old daughter as a judge!?????????? No wonder she isn't bringing it. I figure I'll have some now, I've got an aweful lot to not let go to waste............there goes that diet.

Coach Lou, why is pea soup so bad for a diet? :confused:

[Deer Hunter]

Aficion, HM, Deer Hunter....I appreciate your gracious offers....may take you up on them.


Anyway I can help, I will.

Maybe not for a shelter, but for a house they would probably be interested.

Aww.... sweet. ^ And Drybones, here's the thing... it won't hurt my feelings if you chose to roll into Daleville, do your thing & keep on rolling or whatever. Daleville has EVERYTHING at your finger tips, literally. I'm sure you already know that... It's just that I'm such a "people person", that I'm like- Oh.. hey, I'm just 5 miles down the road, when you roll into Daleville. Hey- I'd like to meet ya, offer a ride 2 the store, Walmart.. on and on. If you like to go on hikes and not "meet up" with others I totally understand... no prob. I completely understand. :D Feel free to contact me if you need anything, at all.

[HikerMom58]

19440Yeah, been there done that. Many of my PCT pics show me in shorts & t-shirt hiking in snow. At first my secretary couldn't comprehend snow when it was warm. Once a great day took a dramatic turn. Was teaching woman I was hiking with some orienteering on a saddle with a nice view. Then I saw storm clouds so we decided to hustle to campsite. We got there it was nice & level, fire ring & under about 3" of water. Storm hit as we (I ) was trying to navigate across snowfields. As I was postholing like Nitewalkers pic & cursing like a sailor she was trying to say how pretty the rain made it with all the waterfalls running off the rocks. Had to bail below snowline to find a decent camp.19441

Funny story... GREAT pics! That women that you were with sounds just like me.. LOL.. Sounds like somethin I would say... :o

[nitewalker]

check out this rookie i brought up huntington ravine for his 1st hike. it was the morning after a night of drinking and bragging that he said it was huntington or nothing. so i agreed on huntington. we started around 9am and finally crested the headall at 7:00pm as the last cars were coming off the mtn ,no bull. this guy was hurting so bad but never gave up. i give him a ton of credit. this hike was by far the most harroing hike i have done to date.

we are struggling just to get up the trail as the day was geting shorter by the miniute.on the way up the wall about half way we ran into a group of 3 girls that were having a tuff time of it coming down in the conditions that day. huntington is not a trail u want to be going down in bad weather. when we came across them the yougest girl was clinging to the edge of a rock crying and blubering that she could not move because she was too scared. the mom was trying to talk her into moving but that was geting nowhere at all. the mom was just making the situation more tense.
at this point im starting to worry that all six of us were not going to get up the mtn before dark. i quickly realize that this young girl was going to fall off the rock if i let the situation drag out any longer. i took over and started to talk to the girl real calmly and tried to boost her confidence so that she could complete the maneuver necessary to get off the rock ledge. after talking to her for several miniutes i decided to climb up and get behind her so that she had a protective barrier to keep her from slipping off. i got up there and grabed her so that she felt more at ease.after talking to her and explaining what she needed to do she lunged forward and grabbed the rock she needed to. we were finally out of a bad situation.we talked the girls into turning around and going back up the mtn. there was no way they were gonig down what we had already struggled up. needless to say it was one interesting hike back down the auto road to pinkham notch by way of old jackson road trail...one long day for sure

Waited out the storm next day & got joined by another group that bailed because they couldn't start a fire. Even though Michele hated steep snow climbs she agreed to hike up to their abandoned campsite. We feasted for a day & had enough other food to resupply for the two days we lost. Fresh trout in the snowbank convinced me it was worth the climb!

is football a sport?

If it is, I would say it is a very boring one. Which I believe leads to its popularity. There is so little action (like 17 minutes in an NFL game) that you really do not have to pay attention to follow what is happening. Thus it is very easy to be a casual fan and focus on socializing or what ever instead of the actual game.

In "Real Sports" like Baseball and Basketball there is constant action and strategy happening, that you really need to pay attention to, to fully appreciate. Hockey and Soccer probably also fit into the "real sports" category for the same reasons.

[Astro]

You ain't tellin' me nothin'. I'm from Bama.

I am not a Ravens fan. Quite frankly I think they are a the modern day Raiders. But, I am so sick of people saying that Flacco stinks that I want to puke. I wonder what those people will say tomorrow. Flacco is a very good quarterback. He arguably has the best arm in the NFL.

My dog in the fight was Atlanta, now it's the lesser of two evils.

[atmilkman]

Well, I seriously think they should kill every python they see, but I 'm not about to go over there and start a holy war over it. And it started out so nicely, too..."look guys, check it out, I saw this elusive beautiful animal on my hike"
Amazing wasn't it. Blame it on Sunday. Blame it on a certain substace in someone's cornflakes. Blame it on momma's headache last night. Hell I don't know. Blame it on Memphis.

The fat lady is singing... and she sounds pretty good.

I think it's still a little early to turn the lights out.

Someone doesn't agree, they turned half the lights off in the stadium...it's a sign...that's why I'm on WB now.

[BirdBrain]

Trying again. Maybe this one plays.

Nope. But, I ran out and bought her album the 1st time I heard her voice. Did the same when I 1st heard Izzy. I love great voices regardless of the shape of the body the voice comes out of and she has a great voice.

You are just the opposite of my aunt many years ago. She was telling my dad how she liked George Strait. My dad offered to record some of his music for her. She said no, she just liked looking at him.

[atmilkman]

Here's one for socks he may be able to sing after the game.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0p9EEfYgpo You might like it too Astro.

George Strait is kinda' cute. There I go again... saying the 1st thing that comes to mind.

[BirdBrain]

Look again. That was a full 12 min. between posts.

Besides, I showed great restraint on post 19,538. It is still hurting me not to say something silly about it though.

[atmilkman]

That was a pretty touching "So God made a Farmer" commercial by Dodge Trucks.

[rocketsocks]

That was a pretty touching "So God made a Farmer" commercial by Dodge Trucks.yeah that was good, didn't know it was a dodge commercial till the end.

Great game!

[HikerMom58]

Tide commercial was the BEST hands down. :) I liked the "So God made a Farmer"- MM. M_ _ _ commercial 2.

[rocketsocks]

Great game!
That was some really smart football by the Ravens right at the end the way the punter ran time off the clock by running around and taking the safety. They caught the 49er's off guard and almost ran ALL the time out. That would have really been good if they did.

[HikerMom58]

Yep, I didn't care for the Go Daddy add, seen it to many times this week i guess.....

Right! That was a great game!! I love it when its close like that but i always feel bad for the losers... close but no cigar.

Yes, that is good, can't wait for LW's response. I also should post this in the pets forum but I think I will take my python on the trail with me!!! Oh wait, I hate snakes...

[Astro]

Makes sense. I would bet more women than men buy Tide, thus their target market.

[HikerMom58]

I thought about that as I was posting... great minds.


Must be a woman thing. My wife likes the Tide commercial best.

I like your woman............ :D

Off the subject but I'm seeing all kinds of ppl I "know" everywhere on hiking forums..especially on FB. It's kinda cool! :)

[Astro]

Very good point! I would be glad to sit on the bench and collect a check like that.

Yep. Bitch Sunday alright. Tipi is a hippi and LW is a narc. All in one day. Hey wait a minute. Haven't we heard this before. Like a hundred times or more.

[HikerMom58]

I missed it all...Yay!

Oh I see it.
A true narc will never see or admit that there's something "wrong". They know there's something wrong but it's like death, for them, if they were to try to understand just what the prob. might be.... says HikerMomKD... aka wantabe Dr. Phil :cool:

i thought hippi was the plural for hippo

[atmilkman]

It is but it has to be hyphenated hip-pi pronounced hip-pie.

[hikerboy57]

It is but it has to be hyphenated hip-pi pronounced hip-pie.
if its pronounced hip-pie, why not just spell it that way

[atmilkman]

if its pronounced hip-pie, why not just spell it that way
That would make too much cents.

[Mountain Mike]

I hear they plan to after they finish arguing how phonetically should be spelled

If people offer you a penny for your thoughts, and you keep giving them your two cents worth, eventually you could go broke. ;)

[Mountain Mike]

DH maybe that should be in the Sex on the trail link. Now we are going to ave Pepe posting in it! I bet he answers yes to all three.

[HikerMom58]

Ahh... I just saw ChinMusic .... small online world. Yes, DH......bring it!

On what day was the hiker made?

And I just know that would just break your heart. At least it would keep the cows on the AT safe.

[Astro]

On what day was the hiker made?

I believe it was Day 6. And I guess they were ultra-lite (no even clothes) until they had to leave the Garden of Eden.

[atmilkman]

Damn. I'm gonna have a hard time topping that one. But I'll come up with something like................and Train Wreck could be arrested for grand larceny.

[BirdBrain]

I believe it was Day 6. And I guess they were ultra-lite (no even clothes) until they had to leave the Garden of Eden.

Now I am really confused. I thought the gardener was created on the 6th day.

[Mountain Mike]

Can a UL hiker be arrested for gram larceny?

[BirdBrain]

Damn. I'm gonna have a hard time topping that one. But I'll come up with something like................and Train Wreck could be arrested for grand larceny.

I am going to get arrested for impersonating a husband (or the lack thereof) if I don't go to bed. Good night all.

[Mountain Mike]

Old fashioned ones early in the week. UL have to be later in the week. At least day 4. You know how they bitch if they have to carry more than three days before resupply

[Astro]

Damn. I'm gonna have a hard time topping that one. But I'll come up with something like................and Train Wreck could be arrested for grand larceny.

Would that be for stealing all of the trains we have been seeing wrecked all around the world?

[Mountain Mike]

G'Night BB

[Astro]

Now I am really confused. I thought the gardener was created on the 6th day.

Surely they hike around the Garden of Eden. I am sure it had great views, and everything was provided for them. I guess really wold have been just walking for them.

[Train Wreck]

On what day was the hiker made?

How can you ask such a question when we haven't yet determined what constitutes a "real " hiker??!

[atmilkman]

Later BB..

[Mountain Mike]

How can you ask such a question when we haven't yet determined what constitutes a "real " hiker??!
Good point. Since there were no pack they can't even be considered slackpackers! It's a trick question. But the answer is 42.

Hey, tHe worst thing I've ever done on this site is kill a few crickets :mad:

That went down as cafegate. It's been swept under the dirt.

Wrong!
I became a donating member so I could dump the ugly avatar - the same one that Rory no Morey made fun of later on - the unisex one with the mullet and wizard stick!
The posting faux pas came shortly afterward.
But I was happy to use my new found powers :o

[Mountain Mike]

Yeah, yeah, That's your story & you're sticking to it.

[atmilkman]

Yeah, yeah, That's your story & you're sticking to it.
I wish I had those musical note thingys. I lick it, I love it, I want some more of it!

And I apologize in advance to anyone who currently is using this avatar, but it is pretty ambiguous in appearance! and you can make it go away forever for just a tee-tiny investment. And make other things go away too, if need be :D

Nite TW and MM... it's been a fun day and night... later. Nite Milkman..

[Mountain Mike]

I need Beta testers/colaberators http://goo.gl/maps/QfVG4 for my map for OZ that kinda grew from there.

G'Night HM.

goodnight HM

[Mountain Mike]

TW that means you! What more ifo do you think I should add for Whites?

[Astro]

In the Garden of Eden! What did you think I was talking about?

Sorry, I thought it had something to do with TW's previous post saying the worse thing she ever did was killing crickets. Now, I am on board.

Goon nite HM. It has been fun. Glad you li........ked it.

[Train Wreck]

TW, while you may sometimes lick instead of like, it is reassuring to know that you are not a flasher.

[atmilkman]

Ditto on this.

[Train Wreck]

Sorry, I thought it had something to do with TW's previous post saying the worse thing she ever did was killing crickets. Now, I am on board.

No you were on the right track.
I just pulled a casey jones and chugged right on by that one without responding!

[Mountain Mike]

Take a look at it. See if it opens ok for you. What more info would you want for the Whites? Should I include Hostels. The Cog. Tourist attractions, waterfalls?

[Train Wreck]

TW, while you may sometimes lick instead of like, it is reassuring to know that you are not a flasher.

Let me tell you, with this bunch, you are a lot more likely to see moobs than boobs.

[Mountain Mike]

I hope your insurance is paid up if you are on board. Haven't you noticed all the picks posted lately? She is called Train Wreck for a reason!

It open right up for me and dont forget I only have 3G if that helps you in any way. 2 campgrounds are there.
Dry River and Crawford Notch.

[Astro]

I hope your insurance is paid up if you are on board. Haven't you noticed all the picks posted lately? She is called Train Wreck for a reason!

Good point. I guess I need to be a little more careful with the words I choose. :o

[Mountain Mike]

They are both off the AT but offer different things. Dry River is FS Where Cawford Notch is Commercial with store, laundry. shower some hikers use for nero & zeros. I also want to give option for section hikers so I will probably include more stuff like that not found in companion or Awolls.

[Mountain Mike]

If you zoom in AT is imbedded on map.

[atmilkman]

Take a look at it. See if it opens ok for you. What more info would you want for the Whites? Should I include Hostels. The Cog. Tourist attractions, waterfalls?
I like it MM. It's got a lot of neat stuff. Adding the Hostels, the Cog, Tourist traps and falls would be fantastic.

[Train Wreck]

Take a look at it. See if it opens ok for you. What more info would you want for the Whites? Should I include Hostels. The Cog. Tourist attractions, waterfalls?

yes to all!
I have 4G and it opened really fast.
I really don't know anything else to ask for right now.
How long do you think it will take to drive from Gorham to Monson?

[Mountain Mike]

Ill keep plugging away at it. I think first priority will be adding the Mile markers at road crossings already listed. From there just keep working on other features.

[Mountain Mike]

A little over 3 hrs. Most of it is on RT 2 which is pretty decent. Just Under 150 miles.

[Train Wreck]

Fix it up real good and we'll sell them in the cafe to finance my hike this summer. Calendar sales are totally stalled out. No one wants to buy a calendar that only has one month in it. Mr. December was the only one that came through with a picture!

I zoomed in far enough to even see a tiny little hiker!! I got all excited at first, but when I realized it was just a section hiker, and not a celebrity thru-hiker, I just moused away. Not worth my time.
