When you start leaning against the passenger side window looking up & picking the best lines up any hills or mountains, or ditches you pass. (Spying good campsites just beyond the fence along an interstate count here too.)

When you check steep&cheap four times or more a day to see what the latest deal is and get frustrated that the weight is not posted on that very cool long underwear on special.


When you get out your guidebook (for the 6th time) and plan the next trip and the mileage, writing notes about the best places to eat in the sidebars, but you're hike isn't for several months.

I have to MAKE myself stop taking packets though, I collect more than I hike ;) I just get too excited around that stuff. (But the hot sauce packets last forever :D )

Then there's the new Super-Dee-Duper-Wally World that just opened down the street from me...there isn't anything that Sammy Boy hasn't thought of. Those one-serving packets of quick-cook foods are the best. You can't beat the prices either.

I was at a local outfitter (non-franchise) and I couldn't believe the price on Mountain House foods :eek:

It's a superb time of year for hiking. The days are getting longer. The bugs are mostly dead. You get a great view from the ridges. The ice glints from the low-angled sun.

The littlest things get on your nerves, you can't seem to keep your mind focused on the task at hand, or where you even are. Often times you appear to be in a drug induced coma when really you are just on the trail in your head. When you don't want to talk to someone you try to get away by taking longer strides so you leave them behind.

When you run out of hard drive space due to all the Excel gear list variations .... it's time to hit the trail.

When the REI guys feel pity on you and pat you on the back during your 12th visit this week ... it's time to go hiking.

When your "2000 miles to Maine" dvd starts skipping because you've worn it out .... it's time to point the car at the trailhead.

When you start feeling jelous of Bear Gryllis cause his TV show has him on the trail and your not (and your TV screen has dents from the stuff you've thrown at his picture) .... it's time to shake the dust out off the down.

When your co-workers avoid you because they don't have any intrest in discussing the various weights of Nalgenes vs platy's ... then your long overdue for an outing.

Spent the evening in the hammock on the porch, reading The Man Who Walked Through Time.

River is another good one. Ive read all of his books.

When you're in a meeting and you notice someone wearing hiking shoes and wool socks, and your next thought is "I need to get some seam seal for my tent..."

Now would be a good time to go hiking.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck here in the office for another hour, handing out paychecks and listening to gripes.

Time to hike when... you find the nearest wifi hotspot (when youre supposed to be working!) just to log into whiteblaze.net to check for "new posts!" (yea, doing that right now!)

You know it's time to go hiking when you are more concerned about other hikers gear types, weight comparisons, hiking statistics, and their political and ethical views....., Man, am I a hipocrit(e?), well, maybe just a few hikers :D

When you start analyzing others' posts for typos... hypocrite... no offense SD, just packed up and waiting for morning to hit the trail!

No worries Cuffs,
Spelling was never my forte. Did I spell that right?:D

As far as your pack you wanted to trade, I would bet bottom dollar that Winton would be glad to swap it out for you.


Have a great hike!

LOL... Have one of these (http://shopper.cnet.com/networking-accessories/iogear-wifi-finder-gwf001/4014-6461_9-31518620.html)? BTW, I've seen them at Walmart for $20.

OK, here it is. IT'S TIME to go hiking. I'll be leaving tomorrow night and catching my friend Brit up in southern NC and hiking through to Springer. Then I'll ride back to where some other SOBO friends are and finish with them also. And this long summer off the AT has at gotten me lined up for a SOBO thru next year.
It's time to go hiking.:) :) :)
Peace

OK, back to topic....

You know when it's time to go hiking when you log into WhiteBlaze.net anytime you can so you can hike vicariously thru other hikers who can get out on the trail while you're toiling away at the office.

You know it's time to go hiking when you only have enough time to drive to the trailhead and back, and you do. It's peak color out by Big South Fork folks.....

...when you see the first speck of dust on your gear or boots.

Spent today on a trail work trip cum hike on the Great North Mountain trail in the George Washington National Forest. 25 degrees on the early morning drive through frost-covered fields. Gorgeous day!:)

I've seen it all now. Very nice.

"It weighs 2.5 ounces, and holds 5.6 fluid ounces of white lightning"

Some of my friends spill that much when they start drinking, so it wouldn't work for them. But I'll take one.

Pretty. But not very useful... it's 2-3 times as heavy as my 20oz plastic Coke bottle and won't hold a fourth as much. Most of a fifth of white lightning will fit in the Coke bottle! :D

I may stink, have macaroni in my beard, muddy shoes, long hair, a skid mark on my shorts, mouse hole in my tent and only two pair of nasty socks to my name............... but when the bar opens, I can be the proudest hiker at the fire.

You know it's time to go hiking when you start having "warm" memories of cold nights, wet dogs and muddy shelters...
