POLL- MOONING The COG

[HIKER7s]

MOUNT WASHINGTON-

Have you taken part in the Mooning of the Mount Washington cog railway.

"

[Almost There]

Perhaps 10-15 years ago I would have done it, in fact, I know I would have, but as a married teacher in his 30's I just don't see the point, and no child needs to see my pale, white butt!

[RITBlake]

According to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy website, a thru-hike isn't considered 'valid' unless the cog train was mooned. So I guess you don't really have a choice if you want your 2000 miler patch.

I'm pretty sure you're FOS on that one dude. I'd like to see the literature to prove that one. As a matter of fact, I challenge you to post a direct link to it here.


course not. only a creepy, exhibitionist homosexual would do that.I don't think I'd put it exactly like that, but I do think it's a very inappropriate thing to do, given that that is a family attraction and it's not what young eyes (or any eyes for that matter) need to see. I think it's juvenile, tacky and a sign of poor upbringing.

I wouldn't be blaming anyone's mother.That's my opinion, yours may be different and I'm sure it is. But, with all due respect, that's my opinion, like it or not.

Hooch, I agree mooning is inappropriate and tacky, but people make their own decisions regardless of their upbringing. That's my opinion. :)

I remember reading it a while back, maybe they changed their policy.

Also if you didn't eat half a gallon of ice cream in PA and they found out, your AT thruhiker status would be stripped. They check the log books at Pine Grove Furnace to verify everyone.

Everyone should document this carefully with a photo, the UPC, and the receipt.

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

I don't think a properly done moon would offend 95+% of people -- you will see way more bun at any beach or on MTV than you see in a proper moon. However, some hikers have been doing improper moons - those that show the rectum and sometimes the boys / girls :o:confused: - which is indeed offensive and disgusting to many.

better safe then sorry. I heard about one guy who had his certificate stolen right off his wall during the night by a band of AMC ninjas.

When he asked one of the fleeing ninjas why they were stealing his certificate, one muttered "next time eat the ice cream"

Right on.

Mooning done right isnt to be vulgar, its just a prank.

Whoever thought it was to show your butthole or anything else other than the buttocks must be thinking (and assuming) the most vulgar display the position could reflect.

[Tin Man]

Try showing your buttocks in the school yard and see what happens.

[HIKER7s]

man some o you guys are going off the deep end with this. schoolyards are not the topic. geez, lol

[RITBlake]

Try showing your buttocks in the school yard and see what happens.

that's a good point, put the mooning in a different context and it seems wrong

[Tin Man]

man some o you guys are going off the deep end with this. schoolyards are not the topic. geez, lol

Sure they are, kids go to Mt. Washington to have fun, just like the schoolyard.

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

Go to a schoolyard and do some of the stuff seen on MTV.... make sure your bondsman's card is in your pocket...... ;)

[taildragger]

Try showing your buttocks in the school yard and see what happens.

When I was a kid I mooned the schoolyard all the time, whats the difference between a young ass and a not so young ass (other than the possibility of hair)

[HIKER7s]

SO what your thinking is, that the ones that do it, specifically wait for the COG's filled with children?????


thats going down another path entirely.

I am sure there are those who "Moon" on impulse, careless to who it is to and who is affected. I am not one o them.

When you do something like that, you wait for the right moment. Which yes, includes checking out who is riding in that COG.

RITBlake-"According to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy website, a thru-hike isn't considered 'valid' unless the cog train was mooned."I think we should ask the thru hikers that got the hefty fines or an invite to appear in Federal Court to support your contention.;)

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

Whoops - typo in link.... my bad... fixed now

[Lone Wolf]

I think we should ask the thru hikers that got the hefty fines or an invite to appear in Federal Court to support your contention.;)

how much did those morons have to pay?

[EasyStrider]

Not to get into the discussion as to whether mooning the cog railway is politically correct or not, I thought I'd share some info. On my thru hike this past summer I had heard something on the AT grapevine a day before I arrived at Mt. Washington, about 2 thru hikers receiving $100.00+ citations by the resident NH State Trooper, for mooning the train. When I arrived at the summit in the morning and was having breakfast in the snack bar, I heard the cog engine whistle and lo' and behold the State Trooper approaches the window and starts scanning the tracks with a high powered pair of binoculars. Bottom line, before making that decision to moon, bear in mind big brother may be watching and may come and get ya.

On a lighter note I heard that after receiving their fines, one thru hiker stated "If I knew I'd be fined I never would have done it". The other thru hiker said "If I'd known I'd be fined, I would have got my money's worth"!

[Freeleo]

Go to a schoolyard and do some of the stuff seen on MTV.... make sure your bondsman's card is in your pocket...... ;)

go to the schoolyard to see kids doing things seen on MTV:-?

[The Old Fhart]

Lone Wolf-"how much did those morons have to pay?"Why are you asking me, I wasn't one of them!;)

I think it was something like $125, but it could be otherwise. For a thru hiker who complains about spending a dollar, that is a fortune.

[saimyoji]

Go to the schoolyard and see kids doing things they can't show on MTV. :eek:

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

....thru hiker said "If I'd known I'd be fined, I would have got my money's worth"!This is what I fear the fines will end up doing - making the display much more er... ah... displaying than they normally have been. I mean if you plan to do it and you are going to get busted for it, may as well make it something worthy of getting busted. While I don't think this way, I know some do.

Personally, I would think turning your back to the train, bending over and pointing to your fully-clad hinney would send a much more poignant message about what you think of the COG and would likely be legal.

I'd be willing to wager that if they started aresting a few of these knuckleheads and taking them to jail, the mooning would cut wayyyyyyy back. Others start seeing folks going to jail for mooning and they'll get the picture soon enough. :D

[Imager]

I don't get mooning at all. It seems as if the mooners think they're putting down the moonees in some way. (Is that correct mooners?) But in the animal kingdom (of which I think we're members) such behavior is a sign of submission, as in offering ones self for, well, you know.

So much discussion over people exposing their asses.

If anyone of any age ever was mentally or emotionally harmed by such a thing, they started out with worse problems than getting mooned.

Multiple U.S. courts have held that only exposure of the genitals constitutes indecent exposure and that mooning is protected speech. First amendment and all that sort of stuff. I can't wait for someone to challenge this silliness in court. No doubt they kept the fine to below what a minor traffic ticket costs to avoid such an inevitable defeat. I'm surprised the ACLU isn't all over this one.

Jesus, Tater, stop it with your big city logic and reasoning. Children could be harmed by a bare ass. Possibly scarred for life.

I can't get the image out of my head of the trooper whose job it is to look out for hiker ass. Can't believe that is what that trooper had in mind when they were in training. "Today, we will be going over the procedures for 'stop and frisk'. Tomorrow, we will be learning how to identify and ticket mooners."
What a sorry detail to be given.

I'm sure it was more fun for the people who work there when they could just chuck coal at the mooners. Now they would probably get charged with assault or something.

course not. only a creepy, exhibitionist homosexual would do that.

Agreed. Americans are way too uptight and offended by nudity, yet we have dozens of tv shows with dispicable violence that kids watch. If you're offended by a naked A$$ you're over-sensitive. No kids gonna grow up messed up from seeing some hikers butts-ultimately it's the job their parents do raising them.

[Lone Wolf]

perv or aspiring perv, or perv/aspiring perv sympathizer?

[HIKER7s]

just watching the posts to see how funny it is how many people connect "mooning" with all the bad things in this world and not for what it is. A harmless prank.

[Yahtzee]

I got on the trail. I hiked. Somewhere along the way I heard about mooning the cog. Got to the cog. Mooned it. No real motivation. No expression involved other than silliness. Didn't think twice about. Didn't know it was a problem until recently. When you're not asked for a justification, just participating in a silly ritual, you rarely have one. Maybe some will answer with a particular political or social reason but it's my guess most of us did it without thinking twice. Now, there is a line, the law. So we must pick sides and become divided into mooners/perverts or responsible adults/lunatics. And I would guess, now that it is an issue those who moon in the future will concoct some reason for doing it.

I'm mooning for Darfur. What about you?

[bigboots]

Maybe it's because I am relatively young in age and being just got out of college, but I'm sure 90% of you have mooned a fellow car in a caravan while flying down the highway, or streaking across campus. Sorry if I offend anyone but sometimes when a challenge is put forth (or a bet is lost:rolleyes:) things happen. And there may have been a youngster in a nearby car... whats the difference?

I may be foolish or juvanile, maybe both:-?...you can decide.

Washington ribbing the "riders" who took the easy way up. Like OF has said, many things on Mt. Washington predate the AT. What's wrong with taking it as it is/has been?

[rafe]

That old contraption was pooping its way up and down the mountain long before either of us roamed the planet, Dino. It's a piece of New England history. Tacky, for sure, but an amazing feat of engineering back in 1869.

Bad example Terp...

but yes...we could extrapolate the anti-progress notion to the extreme and end up in the slam like Ted Kazcinsky

[Appalachian Tater]

The Eiffel Tower is a better example.

[The Old Fhart]

_terrapin_"Almost as weird and tacky as those old bumper-cars that used to haul skiers up Mt. Cranmore (in North Conway) until just a few years ago."Not really bumper cars, per se, but a funicular or cable car (http://teachski.com/articles/cranmoreskimobile/cranmoreskimopbile.htm) where the cable is beneath the cars and track.

Note that the above reference says: "...only one other skimobile lift was even installed, that lift was at the Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia."

[rafe]

Bumper cars was just a figure of speech, TOF. Glad I got to experience them once or twice before they "upgraded." Of course, I'm old enough to regret the passing of Poma lifts. :D

Yes, it is a piece of History worth preserving. And it is not tacky at all. Mooning is tacky.

[woodsy]

Find it interesting how some people from away pass over Mt Washington once or twice in their lifetime and want the world as it has been to stop doing what it has been doing(the cog) for a century and a half so they can have their moment of grand illusion despite cars driving in and out of the summit area.
Reminds me of someone who winter hikes in snow country a few times in 20 years and wants all snowmobilers wiped off the face of the earth because he might hear one in the distance on one of these rare events.. Meanwhile, jet and prop airplanes fill the sky overhead with noise and vapor trails but he doesn't seem to notice them.

There are those of us who feel that black smoke belching monstrosity doesn't belong there. If I were to moon the train, that would be the reason. Why else would a great-grandmother be out in the woods mooning? :-?

As Yahtzee said, people aren't mooning to make any kind of statement. They think they are being funny or cool somehow. I betcha the mooning hikers cause more polution on their hike. Maybe they should moon each other. :-?

[Wilson]

I really like trains, so do my boys and a lot of other kids, ...Kidding aside, why hate a train. You all drive cars, use a computer, pay power and gas bills, so it can't really be about pollution....that would seem hypocritical.

Stuff like this makes the enviromentalist type look like buffoons to the general public while real enviromental problems go ignored.

[OregonHiker]

Find it interesting how some people from away pass over Mt Washington once or twice in their lifetime and want the world as it has been to stop doing what it has been doing(the cog) for a century and a half so they can have their moment of grand illusion despite cars driving in and out of the summit area.
Reminds me of someone who winter hikes in snow country a few times in 20 years and wants all snowmobilers wiped off the face of the earth because he might hear one in the distance on one of these rare events.. Meanwhile, jet and prop airplanes fill the sky overhead with noise and vapor trails but he doesn't seem to notice them.

Certainly there was the conversion of that space from the natural to human when it was constructed. Well, how about now. Tourists flock to Greece to see the antiquities. What was their "carbon foot print" to get there? When the Partenon was a functioning center of Greek society, what was the imapacts th human civilization regarding war etc, that were made there.

What about the emissions that you car produced to get you there? You might not see them but they are there.

My point is that every human leaves an impact upon the earth and we all make value judgement regarding that impact,

Heck, ever really consider how much raw materials are consumed to produce, computers, internet hardware etc. so we can have this conversation.

My point is that there is no black and white....just shades of gray

[The Old Fhart]

So my question is to those of you who may have visited NH 1 to 2 times and feel that the Cog needs to clean up its act (or you blame the AMC for the Cog:rolleyes:). What have you done that is positive to make an impact? Obviously baring your ugly butt can only have a negative effect, particularly in the way the general public views thru hikers.

I know many who have spent a weekend on the summit doing cleanup. One year we got a huge pile of old timbers the Cog had discarded and they eventually hauled them down the mountain. Maybe what we've done is just a small start but it is better to light one candle than curse the darkness, or display your nether regions to families on vacation.

Once the complainers build their own trail around all the places and states they object to, the problem will disappear.:D

Nah, the thing doesn't run like the roller-coasters at a theme park. Mt. Washington is what is has been since the AT came about. I'd bet the hike past it takes a couple hours at most. I wouldn't know for sure, cause me and my brand new wife drove up at the end of May in 2004. I've always loved the weather and this was kinda like my pilgrimage in a way. The staff gave us red carpet treatment even though they were not officially open. I'll never forget it.

20-30 years ago I'd think nothing of hopping in my car on just about any weekend of the year to drive 150 miles each way in order to ski, hike, sail, or whatever. These habits have changed completely. I can't do that any more, in good conscience. It's really kicking my butt, actually. I miss skiing and hiking in the Whites.

"The AMC was running the place last time i mooned the cog.
Sounds like it possibly has changed since then. fine with me.
Whoever is in charge should think about removing that dumb ass toy..."
+++++++++++
"I said that the AMC ran the place (i meant the white mtns) the cog isn't a place."

If the second statement is what you truly meant then it is still just as wrong as what the first statement seemed to imply. The Dept of Agriculture, USFS, has “run” the WMNF since the Weeks Act created the WMNF as public land in 1911. The AMC has special use permits to operate the huts but has to follow the USFS rules, not the other way round. This is a common misconception of people who aren’t familiar with the area or its history.

An example of this is the rebuild of Galehead Hut around 2000. The AMC was building it without DI access, as required by the ADA, because they reasoned that it was in the backcountry and that wasn’t necessary. The USFS laid down the law and said all new public buildings on their land had to be handicapped accessible, and that is why that hut has a wheelchair ramp at the entrance. Whether you (or the AMC) agrees with that building decision or not, it is clear who owns and runs the WMNF.

The Cog is private and neither the WMNF, the AMC, or as you put it, “whoever is in charge” has any say over it. And, if you want to be taken literally, the Cog is a train, not a “dumb ass toy” as you stated.:D

You, Oregon Hiker are full of it. I thought I told you earlier to leave her alone!!!

WHO ARE YOU?

[Alligator]

Whoah time take a breather.

[Kirby]

Well ...you had your chance to clear the public record after I PM'd you for an explanation of your chicken bleep post.

I'm going to have to side with FD on this one, mainly because you should, out of decency and courtesy, ask the other end of the PM for permission to post PM messages on the bulletin.

By the way, in case your wondering, I'm Kevin Kirby, see screen name for additional information.

[Jaybird62]

I really don't need to say anything. Your comments speak for themselves.

[OregonHiker]

Real classy, Oregonhiker - posting PM convo without asking - edited to make you look better no less

In this case I don't mind one bit. It should make my point crystal clear to everyone.

so why are you editing your post?

You made a commnt viathe group...I asked you to provide proof via the group...you did not respond...I asked you again via PM...you got snarky

what don't you understand?

[Appalachian Tater]

I have read through this twice trying to figure out why people are arguing and i just give up. It must be a liberal vs. conservative thing, just don't see who is which in this case.

Come back when you can piece together the resemblance of an intelligent thought...knucklehead

[fiddlehead]

Wow, all this hate goin on.
Sure doesn't seem like an AT site from the AT that i remember.

People got along, helped each other out. Much more Love than Hate.

Maybe some of you just need to get out and do some hiking.

Try turn the computer off, put on your snowshoes or whatever, and get OUTSIDE!

Maybe when you come back, you can behave!

Maybe some of us don't like a so called moderator making a baseless claim and hiding when she is asked for evidence.

Probably e-mailing the Sarge for help as we speak
