Baltimore Jack, Warren Doyle, Minnesota Smith, and Wingfoot Nominated to Hall of Fame

[Lone Wolf]

No life other than the AT? Egads Man! Say it isn't so.... What happened to Fishing, Golf and Hunting?

you jest but there are quite a few hundred + whose lives ARE the AT. very weird. it was a part of my life for a while. i'm over it. i got no patches or certificates to prove i walked. i live in a trail town but don't associate with many hikers. if i do it's usually to kick them out of the hostel for Fing up. i wanna be nominated for "grumpiest pack-sniffer".

[WILLIAM HAYES]

There should be no Hall of Fame -a hiker is a hiker its all about walking-people who have done the trail more than others just happen to have more free time-nothing special in my opinion about walking the trail x number of times -people that contibute and support the preservation of the trail thats another question

Minnesota Smith isn't popular so that must not be a criteria for inclusion in the Hall of Fame.

He gets the worst dressed award!

[Gray Blazer]

If people want to sniff their pack, who cares? I say let 'em.

"Whose lives are the AT" Over twenty five thousand posts on a single board dedicated to the AT may be par on the same course. Whose to say?

I recall a similar thread here, back in early January, when they were first discussing a hiker HOF.

I remember saying that in my opinion, MacKaye, Avery, and Shaffer should get in on the first ballot, and that they should then stop seeking further entrants.

Several months later, I can't see any reason to re-write what I said back in January, in other words, put these gentlemen in the Hall if you must. Then close the doors.

Really.

[stranger]

Apparently not.



Wow.

Very sad...sad indeed

Is this going to be like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Every year you look at who got in and think "Who the hell is that"?

If Meatloaf doesn't get into the R'nR Hall of Fame soon I'll nominate him for the AT Hall. Makes about as much sense as Minnesota.

went for a ride deep into the badlands last sunset. as i exited my building, two fantom riders chased. my bike is srong and powerfull as are my hiker legs. and with my skill haveing been a courrier most of my teenhood, i outrode them in a hundred yards and slipped into busy traffic and then down allys and far away. but i havent been chased in a while and i didnt stop going breakneck speeds for about 20 blocks. cool? it was. they wanted my bike. its a bianchi diss all pimped out and gets alot of comments cause its all hikery looking and dirty and powerfull and dark and menesing with its fat slick tires and all.

[BAG "o" TRICKS]

this is a joke, right? none are worthy. not eve earl. there should be no hall of fame at all. my opinion of course

I differ with you on Earl if there is going to be a hall of fame. But I'm with you on there should be no hall of fame. Anyone who thru-hiked that trail is famous to me, including you Wolf, some infamous
