Help identify hiker in photo please?

Looks like the extension cord is long enough to plug into the shelter outlet and yet be far enough away not to disturb folks when he is watching satellite tv in front of his fan. I just hope he heads in the opposite direction of the privy, just so nothing untoward hits the fan.

This is not one of my photoshops, but I'm pretty sure it is a photoshop... it would be a hilarious gag for the hiker parade - just take the guts out of all the electric devices, stuff the pack with Styrofoam and cover the TP with a ziplock for the water fight.

Are you sure they are lighter? Them thar flat screens may look lighter, but they have some weight to them. And they draw more power. I would hate to see the tv hiker trip a circuit breaker in the shelter, ya know?

Well, it's not the A.T.

I think it's someone hiking to their cabin or camping area that has electricity, obviously. I don't believe it's photoshopped. Look at the shadows.

Too bad it's a scanned in photo or I could enlarge it more to check it out.

I'm thinking it is an older picture of Minnesota Smith.

Datto, who did this as a joke.

I think it's Winton Porter from Mountain Crossings at Neel Gap. I've been wondering what he does with all the stuff hikers leave behind after he helps them lighten their pack weight.

The Broken record continues to spin.

Watch out for this tough guy! He can hit dogs!

Lucky they did not bite his staff.

Sounds like our boy.

I just re-read that news article ( I think it was here on WB...?) I can understand (but dont always agree with) suing for the damages... then I got to thinking... what about the deer, armadillos, opposums, raccoons, skunks... that cause so much damage to cars every year. Who can I sue for that big dent in the hood of my car caused by the dumb-ass deer that jumped in front of my car last winter? What about that skunk that, upon striking it, made a horrendous stench that to this day still lingers on the under carriage of my sedan? Tell me please who to sue so I can get some money!!

The wildlife managers, who limit the number of does that can be killed. This results in large deer herds. It's a huge problem up north. They need to allow more doe permits, or allow hunters to kill a deer of either sex with a hunting license. Not implement management practices that result in herds with artificially large numbers of does.

**Cuffs** · 05-09-2008, 12:05

Thanks Jeffrey! I was on a rant... I cant stand frivolous lawsuits... I see them daily in my work and was just fed up. Herd management does need to be studied and effectively applied tho!

Is it just me or does it appear the dog is looking for an escape route?

I was taking the dog to the Old Mill for the nightly special since the Mill is always running out of food.
