Well, it's NOT the root of all evil. The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil.
But Egads is closer to the truth ... it's when some hormonal male hiker chases, stalks, seeks, hangs with, fixates on, and/or adjusts his hiking schedule to match some feminine hiking object of his "affections," whether reciprocated or not.

In other words, don't do it unless the feeling is mutual. Then ask yourself are you being taken advantage of. :)

Yeah, I've read in a couple of AT books about instances where a woman had to adjust her schedule, leave the trail, or pretend to leave the trail to get away from individuals offering persistent, unwanted attention.

U mean U don't know? Keep thinking about it U will eventually get it. The answer is in your male genes. I feel like a father having that first father and son talk. LOL.

Right. Some of both. Unless you are lucky, as many are. Given the respective chances, I say gamble.

You never know for sure. Most just trust to luck. But when it becomes obvious, one way or the other, wise adjust.

When I hiked the Long trail there was a AT thru hiker named valley girl. 6'2" dude. He said guys would read his entries and hike long miles to catch him only to find out it was a guy.

They got a word for 'em, they're called bums. And without a job, residence, or legal
tender, that's what you're gonna be -- a ****in' bum!

EeeK! hope that doesnt relate back to my ladyboy reference lol. Im sure things are no different than out at a bar. Some are lookin, some aint, some are pretty, some are pretty easy! If i was REALLY concerned with that kinda stuff i wouldnt be leaving in the first place. But its definately interesting learning about all the details of AT!

I am not braggin here but I had a hot little hiker babe come onto me on the trail up near Waynesboro that I had hiked with for a week back in '01.
Of course it might have had something to do with my outstanding looks and personality? Just sayin.....
But in all actuality I think it was the fact that I was packing some good moonshine and the night it happened her and I were sitting around a big ole campfire deep in the woods and we each had sipped about a quart of the stuff.
Then it happened about two days later before she left the trail to go back home and we were both sober.
That was one of the best experiences I had ever had on the trail!
Wish it would happen to me.
wish in one hand and ***** in the other! See which fills up quicker!!

I've heard from another hiker, who shall remain nameless, that commenting on a womans' wide, child bearing hips and explaining why women should not hike long distances works like a charm. Last I heard he hooked up with a gal, so it must be true.

A true story come's to mind in regards to pink blazeing. Many years ago a male hiker named mouse got obsessed over a female hiker named wildflower. Described to me as a very strange guy, mouse after getting the cold shoulder from wildflower, hiked ahead. He left some disturbing register entries behind for her to read, and drew "mouse loves wildflower" somewhere on the wall of every shelter on the southern half of the trail, which if you look you can still pick them out quite easily, sometimes written, sometimes drawn, small but definite.
My source pointed them out to me, and also said when wildflower got the authority's involved they could only charge the man with vandalism, which I was told they did. So look for those next time your at a shelter.

Pink Blazing is the attempt at gettin' some poontang. It may be done by either male or female hikers, depending on sexual orientation or lack thereof.

I'm going to make a prediction. The moderators will have to close down this thread shortly because it will become about 15 pages long by mid week and 99 % of the posts will be by horny hiker type males cooped up behind their computers during winter.
Where have all the horny hiker type women gone?
Even though this thread is funny as sh$t, I can see it being really creepy at the same time. Out in the woods, alone, or nearly alone, and stalked by some overly amorous unwanted attention from a grizzled looking man could really freak someone out. That's how a lot of horror movies start. Mace anyone?:-?
"bubba j why dont you tell us about the first time you saw your wife, aw alright.....there she was..............more?"
"then i saw her smile....what a tooth"

I had the pleasure of hiking with red hot Red Hat in the GSMNP back in April '05! She says she's "a pretty old woman." Maybe "a pretty, old woman"?! Or, just leave out the "old." :)

May be a different Wildflower. There's one that hiked the AT a few years back and the CDT in '07 We'll be playing her DVD at the SoRuck. She's a good friend.
I think I still have a pink blaze stuck to my tent...

I remember reading those trail register entries. I was hiking about a day behind this "Mouse" guy for a while. He wrote his "Mouse loves Wildflower" message on shelters, trail signs, rocks, etc. all around the North Carolina/Tennessee section.

That's a little bit creepy. I mean, I can understand being taken with someone and maybe being a little bit put off by them saying they're not interested, but you've got to get over it. It's just scary when someone studdenly insists that they love you and leave it written everywhere.. maybe too much time alone for some people doesnt do them good, or maybe they just weren't too well off before hand...

I think this is precisely it. Imagine how successful a guy would be were he to relentlessly pursue a completely uninterested girl back in civilization, following her everywhere. Now imagine the setting isn't back in town with locking doors and police a phone call away (or at the very least, the threat thereof) -- just trees in the day and in the darkest of nights. Pro'ly makes the regular guys seem that much more sane and personable.
