OK,

I have been waiting to start this thread, and since Dances' Minnesota Smith Update is now closed......

In the spirit of kindness and positivity, I wish our kooky friend Matthewski the best of luck on his 2007 thru. The man has tried before, and I have high confidence that he will succeed this year.

Hopefully, this will be a spot to check in and have as much fun as possible on the internet. I will be providing information whenever possible, and I am sure Matty will be itching to check in here before and after his start.

Maybe Feb 18, maybe a bit later. I hope he goes in Feb, because if that is the case I will get to see Springer in person for the first time. My car turns into a pumpkin on March1st....(read as, my wife gets back into town and I can't drive to Georgia after March 1)

peace

pointy little teeth are no match for large calibers possesed by us members of the Royal Order of the Scarlet Nape. I wonder if dino tastes like gator or iguana? Doesn't matter, both are tasty.:eek:

Anyone know the most attempts at a thru-hike starting from Springer that finally made it? Maddy may have his own place in trail history...

As long as I keep trying and failing, historically not especially difficult for me, Matthewski can never catch me.

Lone Wolf,

25/1 odds

It is like a flashback. Just yesterday it seems like you made that same post......weird.

My bookmaker in Nevada has the odds posted as 9/5. The Vegas gods seem to like this kid.

With the support of the good people on this board, I believe in completion this year.

You've got that right. At first I had great consternation, now he's grown on me. So much so that I found myself very upset when the original Minnesota thread was brutally closed. Granted it made no sense, but I enjoyed it as a Thomas Pynchon type of reading material.

I know it's a strange number, but she lives WAY out in the boonies of NC and they don't have many phones in that area yet.

There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Maddy B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell

my stupid 4th largest city in the nation is all gearing up for a violent weekend starting with the drunken mummers parade and tommorow the eagles brawl. with periods of matthewski preparing to launch to a real world. a world where my body feels good and my mind can die in peace. the trail is a world where i can walk without a pistol at night. i can sleep without sirens and emergency lights wakeing me up. the trail has whole people. we have shells of former shells of peoples former shells. not to bum though. im headed to the homeless folks camp where i can hang with nearly my own kind. todays gift for the bums? two fairly good pillows i replaced with rich bitch pillows from bj's . a bum sox. sox filled with change. and tobbaco. i will post all about the goats deformity later. he has an extra appendage! and thanks ms janet, i got the stuff! the kisses smelled good. was that you or some pre purfumed envelope? in any event, i love you and your poopy backyard and will bring you a special stare when i see you. yeah you heard right, a stare. im gonna give you the looking eyes! ita a magic tric i learned from shamins in the jungles of burma. after i stare the special stare into your eyes, youll get all mushy and emotional and thats when ill move in for the big hugs! will post pics of mummers vomiting. thats todays photojournel essay. pukeing mummers in full regalia.

But, better late than never.
I will chime in that I believe MW has a much better than even chance of making it all the way, that with reasonable preparation only unlikely chance personal misfortune (injury or DEA agent) or family issue at home will stop him from doing all 2175 miles in one swoop. His physical ability (considerably greater than mine) and zen-like approach to adversity (both of which I have observed) promise well for his thruhike. Remember, too, that he has already successfully hiked a big chunk of the AT. Only NH and ME have (as far as I know) anything at all novel to his hiking experience.

Further, I promise to drive up and slackpack him some during his hike. (I'll happily also slack other hikers that I can, but I owe Matt bigtime.)

Go, Matthewski!

You have my sympathies. I know because I bought the hard cover at full price. No, that one sucks completely. Gravity's Rainbow is the one to read. Actually you have a great opportunity, more than most, of enjoying it. Like reading MW you have to not need to understand it, enjoy it for the pleasure of just reading it. Frosty is right, you'll be reading it for your entire life time, becuse once you get to the end you start reading it again, just like MW.

From the man's voice last night, I can tell he is getting pumped and ready. The kindness from all and high level of motivation should have him float through the first 1000 miles.

I believe the rent is paid, mattys' jesus willing the family will be good, and I know the IRS is not going to matter.

and matt said he is no squid eating hiker, but he is a sardine eating hiker. I am not sure about the difference.....(I guess less oil with dried squid)

Sorry to hear about your son. I will say a prayer for him. Sounds like that guy deserved to get punched in the face. Although its to bad that Max got caught. I hope he survives the line up. Maybe the witness won't be able to pick him out. In any case if it goes to court no jury would convict when they hear the circumstances surrounding the incident.

You should take Max on your hike with you, at least for the first couple of weeks. Maybe it will do him some good to get out of the city for a while.

Sorry Panzer, if I were on a jury and there were witnesses that Max assaulted the scumbag and sliced his bike tires I'd have no option but to find him guilty. if found guilty by trial he'll most likely do time. Cop a plea, the DA gets the conviction and Max doesn't go to jail.

The thing about juries is that you have to get 12 people to agree. You can't even get 12 people on this web site to agree on something. There would be at least one on the jury who thought that Max was in the right to hit the "scumbag".

cant get signals while mummers are mumming and eagles are flewging (fly). okay heres what we know. max was sent a letter today from the haddonfeild police telling him to come to a line up and to be fingerprinted in 10 days. 16 sets of parents received the exact letter. we do think max did the punch because the witnesses. the knife was used to slash car tires not bike tires. the victim is of age. the victom is pressing charges. the weapons charges may be multiple and we dont know about other weapons. max diddnt call me last night. i assume he found out from his friends about the letters. the incedent happened christmas eve. my sons mom(only my old girlfriend) never told me till the letter came today.her reasons were, it went away and never came to much, it was christmas, her husbands parents are staying from austrailia, and mostly because im a moral upstanding guy and she is not. i share my son with a person who is the apole of me. we are different. she thinks max diddnt do anything. when asked why she said cause the two girls who witnessed it are rich and liers. as a matter of fact i happen to know that most of my sons friends are mature and worryed for max as i am . her husband, me, and max's friends are all on the same page . only his mother prevents anyone from punishing or even speaking to max about his recent rash of police, violence, theft, and drugs and disrespect. my son is exibiting the classic symptoms of a kid before he murders someone or offs himself. its been three years of snowballing downhill. i actually want to just say goodby im so sure he will not make it.ive told everyone and him. ive begged his mom to side with me. ive dragged them both to theropy. im not done praying and i know somehow all will be as god wishes.so i cant really loose my cheer. its gross but true. im sad and prayerfull as allways but still me.i belive good will win but that my son will be a casualty of war.i think i have few options left. stalk max and stop him bust him beat him? no. keep talking to him and spend more time with him and show him the life i leed is better? yeah but its not having any effect against this messed up world. download ends.

Matt, continued prayers for Max.

Juvenile justice is aimed at rehab instead of punishment. There are likely going to be serious consequences for the actions your son choose to take in response to the girl being raped. A good attorney should be able to help the consequences be something that wll help your son learn that it isn't a good idea to act as judge, jury and whup-a$$ administrator and how to re-direct his feelings into action paths that won't land him in jail. I'm talking treatment and counseling rather than a juvenile detention facility.

Unless Max is charged as an adult, there will not be a jury trial. The juvenile justice system works much differently than the adult justice system. A juvenile judge will hear the evidence and decide guilt and punishment. Juvenile judges are not bound by the punishment guidelines that must be followed in adult courts - they have much more leeway to use alternative courses like mandatory treatment for anger, behavior or psych problems; mandatory treatment for family problems; placement in out-of-home facilities other than juvenile detention units (foster care, structured group homes, residential treatment facilities).

I was on a team that evaluated cases for a juvenile judge (helped him decide what sort of options would best help troubled kids in trouble) and helped the families get the kids into the various treatment options the court recommended. Before that I worked as a child protective services investigator and as a caseworker in the foster care system.

gravy goes into water in pot and heats whils bagle is crumbled into peices into lid witch is on pot heating the bread while gravy boils. add bread and anything else like cheese and stun all who drool and gaze in astonishment. you have now made trail biscuts and gravy. white gravy mix with real sasuge bits is in all stores.
ive never felt so confedent about the hike and so worried about the launch.
i had an idea for you stove makers. can a burner from a gas stove be made into a burner? it seems that the jets would be efficent and that it allready has a double wall construction. the feed would be cut off and sealed.

Those that pray need to do so today for the outcome of Matt's son's situation to be something that will help the boy learn better ways to deal with things and that God will hold Matt in His tender snuggle today. Watching your children go thru 'learning experiences' is never easy - it hurts you all the way to your soul. ::: gives Matt a warm hug :::

We had a saying among social workers - If everyone didn't go thru it, the teen behavior pattern would be considered a mental illness. Think back to what you were like and how you thought at his age -- I thought all adults were hopelessly out-of-touch and clueless -- that nothing they said applied to time in which I was growing up and that their ideas of what was important were woefully old-fashioned.

Sometimes harsh learning experiences like what Max is going thru hasten a process that happens to us all - life's big bang. It is that time when our head pops out of our a$$ and we wipe the BS from our eyes -- and we can finally see clearly that all the loving guidance our parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors and ministers tried to give us over the years really did make sense after all. I am praying that Max hears a loud pop today.

I'm with you MF. Cheesesteak Hoagie all the way! With herrs sour cream and onion chips for more crunch! I will admit though, I only got into the steak hoagie after I moved to chester county.....thought is was a symptom of being around all of these horses or something:D


When God had finished with his plan,
He paused his handiwork to scan--
There the world in splendor stood,
Hill and river, field and wood,
Mountain range and shining seas,
Fern and flower, valley, trees;
Rock and meadow sown with clover,
Sun and moon and cloud set over:
Prairie, island, lake and bay
All complete on that sixth day.
"I think," He mused, "I'll give a bounty--"
And that's how we got Chester County.

And Gray BLazer....just come up here.....if you shiped a cheesesteak, you would have a gloppy mush of grease. Or just find me a trail days! If fortune repeats itself, my mother will show up with steak stuff like she did last year! Amorosio's rolls and all!

From the rooter to the tooter, and then start to grind,
Throw in some spices, whatever you find.
Press into a cube, then fry that grey block,
Add plenty of syrup, it tastes just like. . .heaven!

The world wants to know.

As an aside, I have gotten at least ten comments on the Minnesota Smith Thru Hike postcard hanging next to my cash register area. People like it. Invariably, everyone that comments says "That is my dream, to do the trail"

I tell them to get out and start walking, to plan and pursue it. Talking about it won't get it done.

Matthew , We are a peculair people,aint that what the word says about us CHRISTians?We are all born judgemental and critialize others yet hopefully in our walk thru HIM we learn self-control and compassion for others.Dont worry what others think.If we were all like minded we would all be fightin for the same thing.Imagin everyone hiking the AT.Thats an awful thought.Anyways, Paul was on a mission sent via GOD and unless you feel called to do prison ministry I challenge you to get a lawyer.Like walking from one tall skyscraper to another. By yourself you cross on a 2x4 or with a good lawyer ya get a 2x12.It will make a big diffrence. The Word also says my people perish for lack of knowledge.Iffin you got the know how to do this by yourself then rock on and iffin not then pray before you make any decisions.Best reguards to you Matt.

You know when we talked at the Ruck, I had no doubt that God had you in His firm grip. Making the right decisions in our lives is a hard thing to do sometimes. Satan knows our weak points and will utilize whatever it takes to make us trip and fall. But the key is to stand back up and brush them britches off and keep on toking it with the Lord. He Loves you Matt and there is no greater love than what He has to offer.

The Word says "My burden is easy and my yoke is light." When you really think about that statement you should realize back when you first began to follow His direction just how true that statement was. You can have His grace and mercy again in your life. You want simplicity? Then do what He asks of you and only you know what that is.

It is easy for me to run away from what is haunting me at the time. I became a pro at it before I met Him. But the reward of doing the right thing today over steps all else in my life.

I struggle too. Some think I'm weird too. You know when I smell weed I always want some. When I smell the corn liqour being passed around I want some. But what I want more in my life at this time is Gods power to continue to overcome ME.

I get in the way of me all the time by the decisions I make. If I could just let go of myself totally, just think what true happiness it would bring to me.

Your doing the right thing. I like you Matt, I did the instant I met you. hang in there bro! The best of His love is yet to come. You've already tasted it before, go for some more!

Hey Matty!

Sorry to hear about your troubles! Even though we only met at the SORUCK I consider you a true friend. You are truly a unique individual and I have no doubt that this too shall pass and that you will get to thru-hike one day. I'm glad that you have a positive attitude about it all. Some people would find the same situation unbearable. Be strong and keep your head up.

She is going to send some homemade chocolate chip cookies to sell for 50 cents a package, all proceedes to be donated to the hostel. They are very good I can attest to that. She will make them thursday night. If you see them out on the table, you can help support the hostel by buying one. they're only 50 cents. A good buy. I think the way we will work it is, you take a package of cookies and just put 50 cents in the hostel's donation box.

Look for the cookie sign:

I don't know if you can seam seal a tent when its in the teens at night. It might not dry properly. Just guessing...

Its not supposed tho rain though.

Everything that can freeze is going to freeze.
I'm bringing an ice cooler. Not to keep the cold in but to keep the cold out. So my food doesn't freeze.

My camera froze last year. Matt said it was because I kept in my pocket. It might have picked up moisture from my body.

Crock pot tip.

For those of you who are bringing crock pots, you can buy crock pot liners to line the inside of your crock pot. You can cook with the liners inplace. When done cooking you just throw out the liner. No cleaning needed.

Where is the crew tenting? I'm told I'm tenting, so I guess I'll find out when we get there........will it be near billville, or will they all punk out and stay inside?

I figure we'll figure it all out when we get there. Billville may be a state of mind in this case, but if it's my tent I'm sleepin in it'll be near my car and I'll probably sleep in the car. I don't think anyone's gonna let anyone suffer needlessly though, I wouldn't worry. My sleepin bag is rated for like 20 degrees, expected low is 28 so I think survival is likely.

i just invented a device that will revolutionize winter camping. its going to be for whoever wants to invest in it. even though i got debt, you can have this. i just cant resist. at least ill allways be the inventer. A BATERY HEATER THE SIZE OF A GOLFBALL THAT YOU PUT IN YOUR WATER BOTTLE AT NIGHT. one battery would keep the water unfroze for about a week. sound good? rock dancer could this work?

Without doing the calculations, I can assure you there isn't enough stored energy in a dry cell battery to accomplish this - especially for a week. A "AA" battery has approximately 2.5(alkaline) to 3(lithium) watt hours of available energy. For comparison, that's enough to run a 4 watt night light for less than an hour. Also note that the battery's ability to produce current is also reduced in proportion to the outside temperature - the more you need heat at lower ambient temperatures, the less current the battery can produce.

Aside from all that, putting your morning water in your sleeping bag is much more foolproof.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Some use too simple a password, like their account name or "password" or something else simple to guess if you know or read anything about the person. Something everyone should be mindful of.
