thank you trainwreck. I just don't want to come off the trail and find the cafe has been closed. the moderators are not our enemies. we have a loose leash in here. let's try to keep it that way.
I believe they have been patient and forgiving. I am living proof of that. They are running a quality site here. Of course, the Café is the crème de la crème though.

I don't feel bad. I feel good. The ones that need to learn cannot be taught. They are the ones losing out. I am living the dream. I have lots of friends. The ones that need to learn, are for the most part, fairly lonely. Now if I could just find some pie.

every once in a while in your life you feel something special happening.
when i began this thread last july, it was meant to divert snarky comments off the other threads, limit the hijacking so that serious questions could get serious conflicting answers , a way to keep the nuts in the nuthouse more or less. but whats developed here is something extraordinary.we have a community that continues to grow, and we grow closer everyday.
i dont think i would be doing this right now if ozjacko hadnt sent me a pm asking about where to stay around ny, and when i offered my place, he responded with warmth and humility.at the same time, things at work were making me increasingly dissatisfied with my job, and finally came to a head last week, now ozjacko is allowing me to hitch a ride down south,bobbyjo has me hooked up at the lodge, my permit for gsnp done, and an opportunity to meet more of you in the next few months. i still plan on doing the maine trip, although ill have to shorten it to 2 weeks, so monson is still on, and i hope to meet even more of you.
we've learned so much about each other and i truly feel you are all family.thanks to everyone for all the support both for the cafe and for me.

i expect the group will grow with the ebb and flow of the herd. its not realistic to think we'll be able to stay together for an extended period of time. but i think well all pretyy much stay within a day or two of each other after the first week or so. we'll be together, but its also important that individually we're still hiking our own hikes, so theres no feelings about holding someone back or having to push too hard to keep up. i also expect the trip will develop some notoriety and our "band of gypsies" will grow.

I finished up all the to-do items before leaving this week end, went to the dentist to get a loose filling replaced, came home with the left side of my face missing, tried to eat a sandwich and beer for lunch, poured beer all over myself on the first sip, halfway through the sandwich looked at it and had blood on it, realized I'd been chewing on the left side of my upper lip, swollen badly and I look deformed (make that more deformed)...leason learned, dont eat until the feeling returns.
It's not this one is it. I wonder who wrote this one.

Yeah, when I started the AT with my (then) 10 year old son he kept complaining about me not being able to keep up with him. Next trip guess he got a new "man sized" backpack with a lot more weight in it. ;)

On a leash
Oz i was looking at our night sky two nights ago, thinking about what it will look like to you from the southern hemisphere. I know my stars, i would like to see your sides stars someday
And out on the West side of Australia there are a lot less lights (civilization) than you are probably getting in NE USA.
