Yeah, I know, they're in the Smokies, no signal. But nothing from Oz Jacko, Invisible Man Daniel, Hikerboy Andy, Army Ant Matt, or Darryl WILSON! in several days. I'm starting to think they've abandoned here for that other secret page that the people here taunt me with.

Thanks to BirdBrain, we even had a case of the nottavirus in the cafe. I made him mop the floor, and thought we had it nipped in the bud. But this morning when I walked outside the cafe to admire the new flower bed I just put in, I spotted this:

He should just take his little wheel barrow and hit the trail, then.
I won't tolerate insubordination :D

[Mountain Mike]

He would, but he says he only has $2K & knows he can't hike the trail with that. He's been bumming quarters for the mashed tater machine. Seems like gnomes like green mashed taters.

[Train Wreck]

He's conning you. He's only 1/10th the size of a regular thru hiker, thus should only require 1/10 of what a normal size guy needs in terms of food, supplies, lodging. He should be able to hike like a king on $500, staying at the nicest tulip beds, living for days off a bag of peanuts, and whatnot.

Yeah, but his legs are so short it will take him ten times as long to get there.

[Mountain Mike]

But at 1/10th the size he can't see these things in the store. He's been living on cat food & says the can's are really hard rolling them up the hills. & with his size he's trying to work up to 2 mile days so it won't take to long.

[Train Wreck]

Yeah, but his legs are so short it will take him ten times as long to get there.

The lazy little cheat will probably yellow blaze half the time. A gnome that would crap on pansies is capable of anything.

Well if is only 6" tall, perhaps he could stowaway in someone's pack to speed up hike.
Not for sure what type of "blazing" that would be? :-?

[Mountain Mike]

He did the Approach trail last season & thought he could get Kebbler to sponsor him & they turned him down. Says we should boycott all their products.

75 degrees here today. Took out the garbage in t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops just an hour ago:p

Have to say I was impressed with DPW clean up of snow. Giant snowblower mounted on front end loader, blowing directly into semi-dump truck. Streets today look like we just got a dusting of snow.

My wife is from Northern Indiana and she is not impressed at all about how long it takes to get snow off the roads here.

[Mountain Mike]

That's because it's so rare there. When I lived in Conway & it snowed what limited people I knew there has all skidded of the road or had accidents with what I (from NE ) considered a minor dusting. Then you get idiots with 4wd that think they can speed through it & never think all vehicles have four brakes & can skid & do skid the same.

MM, worst situation I ever ran into was one Christmas driving home to Florida from Houston. Just turned off I-10 to go south I-75 and the took 1 hour to drive about 1 mile or so. They had shut the interstate down because of the snow. Had to sleep in a temporary shelter (Church Building). They had over 100 wrecks in that county because the Florida Crackers had never driven in the snow and ice before. Even the McDonald's was sold out of food. Next morning they opened the interstate back up, but I took back roads home since I knew it would be bumper-to-bumper.

[Mountain Mike]

I hear that. One year headed to Phoenix in the rig I stopped for a night in Conway. Next day was making good time & had just checked in with boss as I hit TX. Just after it sit started snowing. 6 hrs later I made it to truck stop in Amarillo. Walking into the restaurant I saw another driver with the shakes. I said he must be coming from the west. He was 15 hrs for a 2 hr drive normally!

[Astro]

MM, looks like we are the only ones here, and I calling it a night. Good to hear from you, and catch you later.

Not much to it really. He's got these veevo, vivo, vibro barefoot something or other camp shoes that weigh about 1/10 of an ounce and you can't hardly tell one foot from the other and got up one day at the hostel walking like a duck before he figured it out.

I barely have a few days left......I'm hopeing that next week it will finally be spring. Last year, end of April,on my annual fishing trip to Penns Creek, Pa. We froze our tails off, rained 4 of our 5 days. I slept and rode my Mtn bike when I could.

[coach lou]

I sent a PM to WBer, Corporal Dusty, a while back. He is a reinactor, he will be there this summer for the 150th, but so will a zillion others, so we are going during the kids April Vaca! There will be some type of reinactment Saturday, which is why we are leaving so early.

Sorry WOO....Overload and her 2 children. We will be staying in Hanover for the Gettysburg trip. Sunday nite they will take the trip to go see some band, I'm not sure of the name. Jethro Tull will not be there, so I will be enjoying the peace and quite. Tomorrow nite I will be watching the NCAA Ice Hockey final. Yale vs Quinnipiac, not only are they both from Connecticut, but Yale is on Whitney ave. in New Haven and Quinnipiac is 5 miles north on Whitney Avenue in Hamden!

Quick update. In Gatlinburg (not a zero).
At Clingmans Dome on trail. Invisible's legs better. I still have a cold/cough.

Hey Oz, I spoke with Andy last nite. Rasty and HB were there yesterday. He's thinking 1st week of May to Damascus. That is probably the only time I can get down there, can't do Trail Days. I hope to see you then.

Thanks, I've actually been there twice. Once after a Penns hike and once after a SNP hike. This trip is for my step daughters benefit. She has become a civil war geek.

If I recall correctly, according to the book He did considerable mileage as dayhikes and shorter trips while writing the novel, however he didn't get much farther than Gatlinburg on his original hike.

Thanks for noticing that it's a novel, rather than a travelogue! (Bryson never lets the truth get in the way of a good story.)

Admittedly I really did enjoy the novel and have read it twice. The first time I read it was before I had hiked much of the A.T. outside of Connecticut and the wildly overdramatic description he gave of the time that he got caught on a ridge during a blinding storm had me more worried about the terrain than I ever should have been.

just had an emergency call in Lancaster today - an Amish couple with four children with a growing infestation of odorous house ants. The lack of TV and radio or electricity was very interesting... The kids, four of them were calm and somewhat bored (no Methylphenidate (Ritalin) here folks) The youngest boy had a wonderful conversation about fishing.. well needless to say I did not mention the Internet and covered the smart phone... I really like where they are going....


My buddy recently moved out of an appartment on Chapel Street, it one of the only places I've been where I wished that I carried bear spray.

most bed bug sprays do not work very well- and the number of stars 1-5 does not matter Stay with 4 million visible stars...

It is a beautiful spring weekend in south/central Pa. Not too many folks in Gettysburg. In Swatara Gap, we pulled over at the Burger King, there was a scout troop in there from our state.....they were on their way to...........Gettysburg!!! They were going to camp somewhere in the area. I noticed 4 different troops at the park. On the auto tour, near the North Cackalacky Memorial I noticed a 'Youth Group' camping area. That would be very cool. Then on the way out to our motel on Rt.116, in a farmers field I spotted a troops campsite all set up...Nice an 'covered and aligned' I have hope for our nation still, when I see some kids being raised right!
Anyway, Overload needs to find at church, then we will finish the auto tour, and then go to the new Visitor center.

Well, I finally prevailed over Pico Peak yesterday. Ascended once again via Sherburne Pass trail, continuing via Summit Glades ski trail once the blue blazer joined it. Was a peak-melt kinda day, morning after a medium snow/ice event - felt like it was raining at noon-time, that slowed considerably above 3500' and there was no "snow-melt rain" on the return, sincer it had run its course for the day. Summit Glades, a black diamond route, was so steep on one pitch I considered putting on the snowshoes which got a free trip on my back; elsewise, the well-packed trail meant that Micro Spikes sufficed.

Took a while to find the proper summit, which was marked with a blue blaze. Lots of ski-resort equipment and communications facilities up top, and with the rime ice coating the short trees and clouds rolling in from the west, it felt like a haunted landscape. Great views to the north and south, and eastward into the CT River Valley and New Hampshire - could see Ellen/Abraham, white-capped Mansfield and neighbors, Ascutney, Stratton and Okemo. Killington hid in the newly-arrived clouds before peaking out a few minutes before I began the return trip - got a few nice snaps of it. Could see the lower reaches of the western Whites, but Moosilauke's, the Kinsmans' and the Franconias' higher reaches were obscured by fog when I was at the summit. I had a false Washington sighting, a white-capped mountain above closer ones, but that was due east, a fellow hiker informed me - turned out it was bald-topped Mt. Cardigan.

Here are a couple shots of Killington:2109021091
This is rime ice near the summit:

I'd be tickled to death with a 600 ft. elevation gain on my local trails. I think there is one spot that I get about 12 ft. if I happen to go that direction. Since it travels behind a sewage treatment plant I usually forgo that particular segment.
