One night's bunkmates???

[Lugnut]

I thought Mogli was that chimp on Dennis Miller's show. The chimp retired and the program folded soon after that. Guess he really was carrying the show.

disregard anything I post after 10:00 PM.

Naw...chesty was a good suggestion, just afraid he might kick my a$$ for being a (w)u$$y...

Don West reading his poetry;
Paul Robeson singing spirituals;
John Muir celebrating the outdoors; and,
Peace Pilgrim saying good night with a prayer for peace

No offense to all the trail greats, but I would stay with all the folks I hiked with last year. God I miss them...
But if I had to choose four people:
George Carlin, Robin Willams, Old school Eddie Murphy, and Jesus.
At least we would all have a good laugh.

Wayne Gregory

Dana Bridger

Patrick Smith

and I am torn on hiking chicks... peaches from 2003, aliencreeperpod, or kdiggidy aka digits from 2004.

wookie, is pigpen from '01 the dude who was hiking in flip-flops?

i talked w/ him while i was stopped for a smoke in NH, headed south. only a couple minutes of conversation, but hard to forget, he was one hell of a character.

Is six string Aaron?

What a cool topic

John Muir
Jeremiah Johnson
Ted Nugent
Bruce Lee
Donald Trump

There would be no snoring in that shelter that night you better believe!!

[JNI64]

2nd choice of 5 would be.....


Homemade wonderlust
Hannah Barron (the real deal)
Shemane Nugent
Carmen Electra
Janis Joplin


No snoring sounds to be heard that night for sure

I would choose my sisters. We make up the entire four count. LOL. The reason why I would choose them is simply because my family has no Appalachian Trail experience. It's hard to discuss my experiences with them when they do not know what I am trying to share. I think the experience is important. It can get pretty lonely off trail when no one around you understands anything about your life. The trail has a culture of its own. It is like having a community. It brings out the realness of people. I also aim to share my experience and memories. There is nothing quite like it. It changes everything about you after you finish. Nothing back home is the same anymore.

I like this!
Good for you!

Neat thread to see resurrected. Interesting to read through nearly 18 years of responses. Eclectic, to say the least. And I agree that Birthright nailed it: identified thoughts and feelings I've had since my first experience on the trail, yet have never been able to articulate. Well said.

As for me? Hard to say really -- I can think of so many fun, interesting, entertaining, intelligent, thoughtful and thought-provoking people with whom I wish I could spend an evening on the trail....

Funny thing is, I already have. I just never knew their names.

[asoutherndude]

Colin Fletcher
Bobby Weir
Lawrence of Arabia
Winston Churchill (for humor)

[HankIV]

Bob Jones
Chuck Smith
Bill Miller
Rich Howard

[Seatbelt]

Nimblewill Nomad
Jeff Foxworthy
Steve Harvey
Ronald Reagan

[lucky luke]

and if one of them is too busy to come i would suggest the djengis khan for a replacement

[TwoSpirits]
