    Default Who would you like to hike with from WhiteBlaze

    Someone else started a question in another thread asking if you could hike with any four people you wanted to who would you pick.

    I thought I would do something similar.

    If you could hike with any member of WhiteBlaze that you have not already hiked with who would you like it to be? No more then 10 people in the list please.

    Thumbs up I think I would enjoy at least....

    a few days on the Trail with the following folks. I haven't met any of them in person and have only emailed with one of them about some shelter questions.

    Footslogger & his S.O. - for their modest wisdom & experience. Intelligent sense of humor.

    Solemates - Same as Above

    Smile - Her newness,( at least her post about what's in her pack, etc. read like she's relatively new to AT thru-hiking anyway) excitement, and willingness to learn. I would look forward to teasing her and playing pranks on her....hmmm now how did that BIG rock get in her pack, what's it for Smile ? lol

    Jack Tarlin - His article "Next Time" really helped me get my head in a much better place. I gather from some comments I have read about him he has hiked a whole lot, but he still seems to have a lot of passion for hiking and I find it very refreshing to find someone willing to pass on so much experience and wisdom in such a modest, honest and caring way. I believe this guy really loves walking in the woods and other hikers too...............

    Sgt. Rock - Because I am a old Army dude and I think we might need him to bail us out of jail !! Be even better if he could keep us herded up enough to keep us out of jail huh !! lmao

    I enjoy their posts and think it would be a very interesting mix.

    Sgt Rock and Dead Man Walking. I would bring my older son too. Dixiecritter and Mrs Tabasco could commiserate together.

    Yes but as I stated in the first post if you had a choice of someone on WhiteBlaze that you have never hiked with. Who would you like it to be.

    Well ...I suspect there are a lot of people here at Whiteblaze with whom it would be interesting to hike for a day or two. But to be totally frank, if we're talking about a distance hike and it can't be BA Turtle then I'd probaby just as soon hike alone.

    I am still deciding on who I would pick seeing. There are so many I would like to hike with from reading their post. I had you on the list but seeing you would not hike with me I might as well remove you from my list.

    Thanks attroll ...I'll take that as a compliment (the fact that I was on your short list). I didn't say I wouldn't hike with you though. Maybe I misunderstood the question. I took it to mean that you would be doing a thru-hike with the other person.

    Heck, I'd even consider hiking with Blue Jay.

    There's a few others too, but I'm already over ten.

    Nope, what I meant was someone on WhiteBlaze that has intrigued you and you mike want to do a short hike with as in a week or weekend or even a through hike. No problem and not hard feelings here. I guess i will put you back on my list then.

    I' dlike to hike with Warren Doyle, B. Jack, Weary, Smoky Mountain Steve, Wolf, and shoot why not Minnesota Smith -all at the same time, or at least at the same campfire.

    I'd also like to do some individual hiking with Mowgli, Lion King, Smoky Mt Steve, and all the folks from the past and future Ancient Wilderness Skills Courses.

    There are plently other I can think of too..... long list
