Solicitation on public lands?

**snowhoe** · 04-16-2009, 13:16

Mags I totally hear what you are saying but look where you are hiking at. The Republic of Bolder. You know how out spoken and the "I dont care what you think. You better think the way I think" attitudes they have there. It really doesnt surprise me.

They breathe really well and they probably wick effectively too.

Well yeah. After all, it is the world's second oldest profession. ...

sorry but I just had to try this again...

OK..this is getting a little (???) off topic, but back in the day, fishnet underwear was actually popular for winter activities. Norwegian companies still make it and a few diehards swear by them:

No word on high heels for winter use, though...

Perhaps I'd should go just outside a church on Sunday morning and give pamphlets on atheism? For many of us Nature is our church...and it is just as bad form as soliciting at a church.

My hike was great! About five miles or so with some stiff elevation gain...and with wonderful views to the Continental Divide. Similar hike today.

Something like this would only bother you if you let it. Let's be glad we live in a country with freedom of speach.

I'm glad you still enjoyed your hike.

Does this mean no autographed copy of Hike My own Hike Damn it!!!

kinda like the hari krishna folks soliciting in airports and malls. I guess they still do that someplaces. I don't get out all that much anymore.

For you, I'll even autograph my Snickers wrapper.

Thanks for giving a difference of opinion in a constructive manner.

It was cold ,wet and drizzly today..with possibly 2 ft of snow on the way.

April is such a variable month!

Yikes, now those are some clothes I hope never to see on hikers around here!

Can you get high heels with Vibram soles? lol

From visits to some other countries I have mastered the kick low hand gesture and curt 'No'. Nothing wrong with using that here I suppose, but its a shame because some folks might just want directions or something like that. Here I will always listen, and if it turns out they are soliciting politics on God's doorstep I will give them a piece of my mind up one side and down the other, and not in a nice way. If they want to give me their politics then I will give them mine. I don't even care if its an issue I agree with, like sustainability or something like that. If I think its the wrong time, place, and occassion I will really let them have it. Yeah I made a couple of cub scouts cry once, and I'll do it again. Sunday dinner is no time to be selling apples.

Ah, my mind went to a different sort of solicitation.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but now that you mention it a good friend of ours is Filipino and come to think of it she and hers are pretty damned Scots. lol

**JAK** · 04-17-2009, 18:24

That's the trouble with most people in this damn world. They're too much like us.

**JAK** · 04-17-2009, 20:40
