    Default my favorite

    I have this one hanging in my cubicle. As an engineer and a backpacker I find it doubly appropriate.

    I just ordered a custom calendar with one of these for each month ($20 before the end of April, 20% off). There's a seed of truth in many of them, and there are a lot I find hilarious!

    January: Change (a favorite)
    February: Achievement
    March: Challenges
    April: Success
    May: Problems
    June: Consistency (a fav)
    July: Hazards
    August: Tradition
    September: Fear (a fav)
    October: Ambition (a fav)
    November: Despair
    December: Individuality

    I've been using a photo from my LT hike last year incorporated into the "Challeges" poster for the first page of the LT portion of my Trail Journal this year. The expression on my face just seemed to match the "Challenges" wording so well.

    How do you do this?? I don't anything about photo shop or other photo programs. Too bad my hiking partner didn't take a picture of me with my forehead against a tree and sobbing as I faced yet another climb trying to get to Stecoah Gap.

    Go to this page and add the photo and enter whatever wording you want... I used the same as "Challenges".

    After you've completed it, save the completed poster to your computer.

    The trick is to stop for the night at Sassafras Gap. Then Wayah isn't bad at all the next day.
    Just hike.

    OK, I made the poster and saved it to my computer. Now, how do I put in into a post on this thread?

    The easiest way is to upload the photo onto the WB Photo Gallery in the appropriate area, then copy that BB Image Code and paste in the "Insert Image" to load the image to the page. If you want it full sized, delete the _thumb portion before you finish posting.

    Ah well. If it's clicked on it will come up in a full size view. I'll just leave it at that. But thank you for the help!
