I love the smell of esbit in the morning!
"Apple" usually has his big tent set up in Burningtown Gap during March.....maybe he knows something of what took place.
Walk softly and carry a BIG STICK not one of those little trekking poles. :-)
I start out the Day with nothing and by the end of the Day I still have most of it.
I find it strange that Irish Bastard posted in the Class of 2012 forum on 9-5-2011 that he was hiking Northbound and using the name "Roadside". http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/show...t=#post1197242
Are you talking about yourself? If not, why post you're using the name Roadside? What's the deal?

Spokes is legit - I agree with him about reporting to the ATC - - while they obviously have no law enforcement arm, they are the de-facto "sponsoring organization" of the trail and keep tabs on stuff like this. Law enforcement should obviously also be contacted and I'm real glad Roadside is ok and still kicking it up the trail.
Amazing catch! I've read many of Irish Bastards posts and he comes off as combative and rude in most threads. I have a feeling that this entire thing is just for obtaining attention.Originally Posted by Sarcasm the elf:1281838
I like Spokes' avatars. Like George Burns told me when he was only a spry 90 ... I liked pretty girls when I was young. Why wouldn't I like them now?
Burningtown Gap has a strange vibe to it.
I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
Based on the fact that I did my thru in 1992 and food drops were common every 4-6 days on the trail AND there really is nowhere to buy anything while on the trail(that's why you're there, right?), AND what few there are between town stops, where would you spend $200 in 4--6 days on the trail while hiking from town to town?
Oh, and another thing; Why would the mugger even think that a hiker would that kind of dough on themselves to begin with?
Why would a mugger think they'd have a bank roll...I did,but that was a guess.And I guess I'd take a larger amount for emegensies,what ever that is.But know I see your point and for me it would be yes,I'm here for the hiking not the trail town of love and fun LOL
...do we have the 2012 version of Minnesota Smith on our hands?
