Jesus,Moses and Wingfoot at the Kennebec.

[BooBoo]

Jesus, Moses and Wingfoot are on a Thru-Hike. As they approach the Kennebec Jesus doesn't stop but walk right on across the water. He drops his pack and breaks out some loaves and fishes snaps his fingers and turns the water in his Nalgene into wine.

Moses is out of water so he wacks a rock with a Leki pole and drinks the water flowing from it. He then raises both Leki poles and parts the river and then walks across on the now dry river bed.

Wingfoot comes up to the river drops his pack,lights up a cigarette and yells across to Jesus and Moses,
"Sorry guys, the trail doesn't cross there"

[Freighttrain]

Sorry guys - no edit button for me to fix it

Jesus and Moses were persecuted and died for what they believed in.Thier words are now considerd the "Gospel Truth" by many. I think it's a little premature to elevate WF to that lofty level but I'm sure he would appreciate the analogy. Having a WhiteBlaze is pretty important.

Note to Tortuga: That was a joke.

And regarding WF, he is imperfect like me and you, although I suspect he knows the old "I before E" spelling rule.

It's A Joke

DUH !

It sounds like I touched a nerve,chill, no ones perfect.

Nope, not me. I'm as chill as they get. FYI, I know Dan pretty well too. I think I'm the only one with a photo of him on this site. I also hiked with Moses in 2000, although he broke his leg before he reached the Kennebec.

Now if you said something bad about my good friend Moses, that would touch a nerve - for certain.

And I certainly wouldn't expect one of Dan's toadies, lackeys or sycophants to say anything negative about him. (FYI - that was a joke too)

Say... Tortuga, didn't I meet you somewhere on the Eastern Continental Trail? Or was that someone else?

[fiddlehead]

Thanks for the laugh this morning.

[tlbj6142]

Wasn't this same joke post here a couple of years ago?

[Moxie00]

That is a great story. Sometime they will close the dam at Indian Pond for repairs and the Kennebec will pretty much dry up. I will go up to Caratunk and paint white blazes across the river bottom. When the water come back I know my friend Baltimore Jack will follow them as he is a purist, Lone Wolf will look at them and go to town for a beer, and Wingfoot will read about them on his web site and write about them in his next book as if he had painted them himself.

HAHAHAHA!!

OMG...here we go again...

Religion AND bashing WF in the same thread?!

[Jack Tarlin]

You're dead right Mox....Jack is a purist, which means that at the Kennebec River, he follows the official Trail, which means he rides the canoe ferry.

In some places, the ATC and local Trail Clubs have put in bridges at unsafe crossings, and it's universally understood that people walk across the bridges, rather than ford or swim.

At the Kennebec, it's universally understood that while fording the river is certainly possible, it's not a particularly intelligent thing to do, regardless of how well one thinks one "knows" the river.

People have died there. That's why there's a ferry.

So Jack takes the canoe. Steve Longley and his staff have been doing an extraordinary job there for years, they've safe-guarded thousands of people's lives, and they deserve our praise and recognition.

So Moses, Jesus, and Wingfoot can do whatever they please.

I'm not ashamed to say that I take the ferry at the Kennebec, I'm glad that it's there, and I think it's the smart thing to do.
