if you're hiking on a cruise ship it isOriginally Posted by Rasty:1818229
Is it really a vacation?
Hmmm. If hiking is working and working requires minimum wage and anything over 40 hours is time and a half then I would estimate that my thruhike took a 1000 hours of hiking over 14 weeks and with overtime that would be $9000 gross, that will cover a hike. WB's, I think our funding problems are over. Hiking is work! Hiking is work!
I've been paid to hike a few times.
So did you go hiking yet?
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Been told to take a hike. Did it gladly in every instance. And yeah, I actually got this mouth from my mother and she still loves me in spite of it.
my boss actually gave me an extra months vacation pay last year when i hiked maine.
he wasnt so generous when i walked out on him this spring
but hes glad to have me back.
Ha Ha!! I hated being told to take a hike!! I'll think differently about it NOW!
Can you put in a good word for me ?
Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
it wont work. he knows im gonna be gone for a few months next year, and he aint paying me to hike again. i do get 3 weeks vacation pay though so that will help.
I've been meaning to ask you this, HB. Are u still working at the other dealership that ur boss owns? I knew you were working at one place and then when you got back from hiking , you started working at the another one.
I'm definitely going this winter. Hopefully somewhere with snow.
no. i used to work at the other one.
smokies? or bmt in april?
I'm thinking something in January and the BMT in April. I was thinking of something around Roan mountain in January. The Smokies might be fun if I had snow.
you could come north you know
You can do seven 4,000 footers, about 20 minutes from here, in 2 to 4 days depending on conditions. You could actually do them all in one very long day in ideal conditions and ideal fitness, but not in snow. Four peaks on AT, two on Blue Blaze circuit off AT, and one a quarter mile bushwhack from AT. We get snow at these elevations every winter. Views are phenomenol. It is not the Whites. The upside is, you can do them in winter and snow without expecting to perish. Plenty of water and firewood and you can camp anywhere. No permits or fees. No, I don't work for the Chamber of Commerce. I just like it here. Come on up sometime and I'll show you around.
Where is here?
Maybe. When is the Harriman walk?
Uhhh... like it says under the avatar thingy....Lexington, Va.
i think they decided on mlk weekend
