Where is Colonel Chaco?

[JAK]

Personally I don't mind a little heated interaction with locals now and then, as long as no one gets hurt. Breaks up some of the monotony. Martin Head on the Fundy Footpath can get somewhat interesting on weekends.

Go Chaco. Next time tell them to toss you a full one.

He is at the Fontana Hilton tonite and said there are many others there too....he's waitin for LB and then they are headin out to the Smokies!

Hey all, Im in Sylva, NC. Got lost a little trying to get down the Road to nowhere. Ended up walking through Franklin Grove and back in to Bryson City, neither place is very hiker friendly. Got harrassed by some hillbillies. Im with D'shadow in Sylva and will make a run at the Lakshore tommorow. Mom and dad, Im fine and safe. See ya'll soon

CC, when I was in grade school I brought a hillbillie kid home one weekend and the next door neighbors didn't have an inside bathroom.So this old grandma walked around the side of the house and squated down to pee.

At this point I told him not to stair at her,that's rude.That Sunday we took him to church with us.After the pastor was done preaching he ask everyone to bow their heads for prayer and if anyone wants to come to the alter to pray to go ahead.

At this time there was a big fat woman went to the front and kneeled down at the alter to pray.The little hillbillie whispered into my ear saying he knew why the preacher ask everyone to bow their heads.I said why?He said"It won't be so rude watching that big fat women up front pissing in the floor"

Haven, you just ain't right...............lmao!

[Chaco Taco]

Im out early in the am. Great weather today, just need to rest my feet for a few hours and a hot meal. Im very malnourished.
Feeling good otherwise. Talk to ya'll soon.
