stretch goal was Waynesboro, but the way things have been going may be back to original goal of just Daleville.

[atmilkman]

At Vango Abby and plan on being at Kinacora tomorrow. Actually has not rained yet today and if it does not tonight it will the first day with no rain of my 12. Trail still really wet and muddy, which is slowing me down. Got tired of carrying a wet tent and have spent more nights in hostels and shelters than all my other trips combined. Looking forward to the sunshine (sort of like waiting for Godat).
Hey Astro. Thanks for the update. You're doin' good.

Hiked for a while with Pocahontas, Nami, and Kurt. Met Captain, grey goat, and a lot of other good people.
Don't forget the pics.

[Train Wreck]

Absolutely - - I'd suggest packing a bunch of raw bacon in it. Don't worry about hanging it or anything - those things are strong - just leave it right in front of the shelter

Thanx! You're the best!
I'm all prepared now, and it didn't cost me an extra cent, yippee:banana

which, despite what I said about liver earlier, this is actually pretty tasty fried up between two slices of loaf bread. Better than Spam!

Gatorade was invented here in Gainesville. Used to drink lots of it while we loaded watermelons. Farmer would mix us up huge drink coolers of it.

Don't know much about duck livers.

It did have a gold crown that I could have mailed to them. The dentist said I could have got $10 for it.

ATM, it is moving (the baby). When you are loading watermelons all day in the FL heat, you sweat most of the gatorade out. If you stop sweating, you are in trouble.

When I'm hiking in FL just about every other pint (those 16.9oz bottles) is a Gatorade. I use those G2 packets.

That's all? Then why do they charge a freaking fortune for a new one?

I'm lazy. I buy the gatorade in bottles and then use them for water.

That's what I was thinking. The ironical thing is my best friend is the dentist who did the crown for me (now retired, dammit) and he calls me right as I sat down in the chair. He had no idea I was getting it pulled.

You could have said 42 since that is the answer to everything.

The answer is as many as possible cuz many hands make light work.

You're asking this on Whiteblaze, right? Then it's at least 18.
One to get the a lightbulb, another to dispute the question whether it is a light bulb or an ultralight bulb, 15 more to continue the argument, and a moderator to tell them to knock it off.

Nice look but you need to go a little further with it. You'd look much more put together with a nice aqua scarf wrapped around the hat brim (like Katharine Hepburn in The African Queen).

Well, it's been an eventful night of food, fashion, and foolery in the cafe. I think someone even mentioned hiking somewhere in there. I guess Gray Blazer fell asleep before the straw hat made an appearance ;) I don't think he'd pass up commenting on that one :)

That would be an HB visa in these parts. ...

[Driver8]

Saturday I let myself get dehydrated, in the afternoon I realized it and started to drink up, but it felt empty. When I met Driver later at the road, he thru me a gatorade, orange, the only flavor I can stomach. It hit the spot....BIG. Next afternoon on my way down, all I could thing of was......2 orange gatorades and I'm good, just 2, I'm good. So, I think I'm going to start bringing some of that stuff on warm hikes!

Gave you one as we parted at my car at K Notch, too. Bookend Gatorade oranges. :D Least I could do in exchange for the free ride you gave me around the mountain to my car, which we barely survived thanks to your New Yorkish driving habits. ;)

[Driver8]

I started drinking it after I had a very bad experience one day while hiking. It has really helped me. I wouldn't hike in the summer without it now.

Held my leg cramps off on the way up to Beaver Brook shelter. It's goooood stuff.

Those skills have been honed in 40 years of driving on I-95:D

[rocketsocks]

Coach, I've just picked up these the other day...not as tasty as gator aid, but no sugars either, and very convenient. Little pricey, but they work. Just throwing out a alternative as sugars can cause you to bonk so they say....I still use gator aid powders too, and those gummy fruit chews made by gator aid as well...truth be told i'd pitch all these for a banana and a fresh tomato on the trail.

It was very relaxing to get away. I just wish I had more time at it. I can't even get away right now to walk with Oz. There is a 20 mile section(in Mass) I would like to knock out, and slacking with those guys would be a perfect day, but I just can't get away next week. There is another 20 mile section after Little Rock Pond, Vt, I would like to squeeze in! How 'bout you 'Socks you have walks coming up?

Shellie's skills have been being honed over the last 6 -7 years in the winter in PB, Broward, and Dade counties in FL on I-95. She's gone from a passive little country hummingbird to a full fledged urban vulture on the highway. Catch her at the right time and she just might shoot a bird.

Returning to the AT train stop (where we are right now) Sunday morning.

Oz and Co: I could swing over for a short hike with you this weekend. A good spot for me would be from Rt. 341 south, meeting you on trail, back to car, short ride into town, squeezed into my car, lunch, resupply if you need, then back to trailhead. Might that work? I'll pm you, Oz.

Man, I don't know how you guys walk in this oppressive heat and humidity, kudos! I don't do well in this soup.

Sadly No, nothing on the boards as of yet...looking to hit the trail again this Fall, likely I'll finish NJ, and maybe go from Swartara Gap to Lehigh Gap at some point this Winter or early Spring. One thing I'd like to do next year is start hiking a little earlier (late Febuary/early March) seems like a nice time of year to hike...weather provide.

Hopefully you'll find some time to get out there with the Silly walkers...time is always at a premium.

He is a knowledgeable chef. In particular a good banquet chef. FN probably knew already. Faking a resume isn't nearly as offensive as the wrong type of person using a bad word. Tarentino can say it all he wants because he is a Star Belly Sneatcher, Paula didn't have stars upon thars.

Yes, but it did come with a tent!

[Rasty]

That's because Hondas are cool.

Made here in the US by American looking workers. Besides Japanese CEO's make peanuts compared to US CEO's.

The problem with that vehicle was it only had a 2.4 ltr engine. Fine if you have a surf board and a ten speed. It wouldn't get out of it's own way. I looked at it seriously, before the Outback. We had 2 in our shop the year I was looking to get new wheels.

I'd love to own a Chevy, sadly it seems that long ago, they forgot the knowledge needed in order to install a stick shift in their vehicles, so I'm stuck with the Japanese and the Europeans. :(

Spruce Green with Grey Bottom? That rules out Henry...

I'm going to guess Lightheart Solong Solo.

[Rasty]

Don't try using that tent down south

I should have qualified my statement by saying that they don't add stick shifts to the type/trim level that I want. Ideally I want a 5spd, 4WD with leather, wagon or crossover. Nobody I know of sells that combination in the US. (Though I haven't checked all the Jeep models )

My next will probably be either a Wrangler with a 4 door or a Subaru forester. Though I'm *hoping* to get another 4-5 years out of my current car. Though if I give up in he manual transmission, then Chevy and Ford go back to the top of the list.

TOO FUNNY!!!!
The four of us check into a NYC hotel.
Get into elevator with the porter.
Because of our backpacks he can't get to the control panel so I ask "what floor?".
You guessed it.
ELEVEN!!!
You're right, that is just too funny. I'll bet they could hear ya all the way out to the street.

[atmilkman]

Currently at Hooters for dinner and drool.

Now they'll never leave the city.

I guess it "Depends" on if it's wet or dry and whether the bottle is full or empty.
