[Freedom Walker]

I have been wanting to ask about this for a long time. At the bottom of the home page where it states the number of online visitors it says, (Most users ever online was 1,419, 07-08-2009 at 20:30.) I have have curious as to what was being discussed at the time that brought so many to WB. Anybody know?

No postings actually stick out...

I did a search as well and didn't see anything stand out either. That was a Wednesday night, so maybe there was a lot of hikers planning a big weekend trip.

[Spokes]

I think matty was discussing the power of bacon that day.

[daddytwosticks]

Minnesota Smith de-briefing us all on his epic thru-hike. :)

[Summit]

I think it likely that people were arguing on whether Lone Wolf really uses his food bag for a pillow! :)
Or it could have been the obvious fad and plecebo effects of trekking poles! :eek:

[max patch]

I assume the majority of those were search engine spiders and not actual guests.

[jburgasser]

It was a discussion on internal vs. external frame packs or tents vs. hammocks or hanging food vs. sleeping with food.

[kayak karl]

i was heading back on the trail LOL

[Rocket Jones]

Dogs with guns in the shelters.

[Captain_Slo]

Dogs with guns in the shelters.

Boy Scouts training Dogs to hang bear bags with Guns in Shelters while trying to calculate the cost of their thru hike.

[Blissful]

Lone Wolf and Jack and Warren were at it again...

:) :) :)

I miss those days...

[hikerboy57]

how long does cheese last on the trail?

[Freedom Walker]

It could have been a discussion about what is Trail Magic.

[seasparrow]

If i remember correctly it was those guys geocaching trail magic .

From June 18 until June 24, 2009, the whereabouts of Governor Sanford of South Carolina were unknown to the public, including his wife and State Law Enforcement Division.

On June 22 his staff came up with the "he's hiking the Appalachian Trail" story. I imagine by July 8th that a lot of people were searching "Appalachian Trail" the web, and that White Blaze was popping up more and more as it was checked out. With that date being the peak.

Depends on how you cut it.

[Wise Old Owl]

Oh now I remember....Wargs!15022

[Tinker]

Oh now I remember....Wargs!15022

I've heard that there's no such thing.

I guess it's true with that sign and all....... ;)

[Mike2012]

spitting sunflower seeds and burying tp.

This makes sense more than anything else and it brought some publicity for WB.
