We are all here because of a common interest or perhaps one might even say a common passion. I'd like to suggest that when we post in the forum we post in the same manner that we would speak to each other if we were face to face. I think all of us at one time or another have allowed our passion for the topic to overule those social niceties that most of us use to smooth our passage through everyday life. There are enough bumps and rocks along the way without attacking one another because someones views don't mesh perfectly with our own. Let's play nice.

Well Said,

Don't disagree, but I'd have to say my biggest gripe is with people who give advice who don't have the experience or knowledge to back up what what they say. i.e., the person who may have hiked 50 miles once upon a time but still gives advice on how to best do a thru hike. That is incredibly unfair to the person who originally asked the question.

To that person I would say: hmm, tried that but my experience shows me this works better....

That is a huge problem on the Internet and one of the pit-falls that any reader needs to be beware of. And another problem that can go with that is the person that mis-represents themselves as a person with lots of trail miles when they really don't have that many. A person that would mis-represent themselves probably wouldn't care about being courteous anyway.

Nope...got a journal, but not planning on posting much. Maybe some photos when I can, but mostly just gonna play in the Rockies.

**mtnkngxt** · 03-19-2009, 07:33

I'm in arguing with Trolls is giving me heart burn. So how bout this weather in the South this weekend. Looking mighty dry sunny and relatively warm. Elk Garden to Wise shelter and back is looking like a mighty fine idea.

**chelko** · 03-19-2009, 07:39

Amen on the weather here in the south. I'm headed to Cataloochee in the Smokies for a short loop, maybe take in the Elk herd.

Teej agrees with dixi and wolf and Mrs Teej.
(I always agree with the Mrs.)

**mtnkngxt** · 03-19-2009, 09:01

I really want to do the smokies again this summer. Even with all the restrictions its still some of the best miles on the AT IMHO. Anyone know where the supposed water source is near Wise shelter in Grayson Highlands?

Oh and I love all of ya'll, excluding Trolls!
