    Matty if you get in the area of Franklin a few days before come to the April Hiker Fool Bash.If you stop by the Philly market and ask one of those produce haulers I bet you could score a ride easy.There is Kennesaw Drivers out of Atlanta there daily.

    starlyte, im looking to go cheap with someone allready going down who just needs help with exspensis. stonewall wants to go as do you. but i feel i must first exsplore the cheap stranger for gas money option . before i fully cave to the wonderfull friends hiking me up springer idea. also, i would prefer to go with you only to spend time with you. me and stonewall see each other alot and live nearby. so its you babe unless i cant swing the cost of sending you home.(i may have offered too much by a hunet) fingers crossed. apartment boxed. walls patched. job with garnishable paycheck secured and waiting on return. rent arangement made with lang the lanlord to pay two months now and two when i can on return. deal cut with new boss to return at pa just for some few weeks of apartment rehabing and then off to maine to catch up with johnney. yes ms i got it. it hangs in the trash closet of our building and lends to that otherwise plane yet clean room, a place to pause and reflect on your hike. marsha and i agree, we hate the poem and love that its from you. its all i got to be honest. i know you are my friend regardless of poetic loves.

    That is one of the most sophisticated things I've read on WB. Thank you for your honesty, and for your friendship.

    and simply the least sophistocated post? and i quote," 1 in 25". no larry i wont be staying at casa de wanderer while in damascus. i will have been by nessesety, eaten by wolves. and shreaded by vultures and laughed at by hikers. and finaly bleached by the sun, my bones will crumble and blow as dust into town at sundown three nights pre trail days. you may house my dust as you wish but you know i prefer the floor in the living room next to the couch. so me and you can chat quietly while smelly hikers snore rudely nearby. and if you miss me, you can put my ashes in a pan with a dash of salt and just a pinch of bacon and set me in the oven covered at 325,..... ill reconstitute all nice like with a gift in my pack for you called ham.
