[Roche]

So,,,,are you driving or hiking?My money is on he's drinking.

Oh, and hi and welcome. And don't trust anyone over 30 posts.

Kentucky, a very well known state in United States of America, is another desired destination for performing hiking. With trails dotting the landscape of the Commonwealth, hike infatuated individuals will discover innumerable American state hiking adventures. Are you able to get off the crushed part?...

[Oljm]

Let the drift begin.

Wait till I tell him/her about my new sticks!

[Hog On Ice]

pics or it doesn't count

[D'Artagnan]

I'm under 30, but only if I close my eyes.

And don't use your hands. ;-)

[Superman]

Wait till I tell him/her about my new sticks!

Are you talking about Walmart sticks? Incidently, do you know a John or Lane Tasto?

[Amigi]

Welcome. A/S/L? Just kidding! What part of the country ( world ) are you from and what kind of hiking are you interested in?

[john pickett]

" what kind of hiking are you interested in? "
I haven't met her but I would guess it's the type where you step forward with your right foot, transfer weight to your right foot, step forward with your left foot, transfer weight to your left foot,.....
Or as the Madison Ave. crowd likes to say; Lather, rinse, repeat!

[Rasty]

I start with the left foot

[hikerboy]

I start with the left foot

you're doing it wrong

[Hog On Ice]

what's the inseam?

[Lugnut]

I start with the left foot

I'll bet almost everyone who was ever in the military out of habit/training steps off with the left foot.

[Bearpaw]

I'll bet almost everyone who was ever in the military out of habit/training steps off with the left foot.

I thru-hiked shortly after leaving the Marine Corps, and I intentionally stepped off on my right foot at Amicalola. I even had my bearpaw tattoo on my right ankle, since it was my way of stepping off on a civilian life.

[Rasty]

I'll bet almost everyone who was ever in the military out of habit/training steps off with the left foot.

I was just being contrarian

[john pickett]

"I start with the left foot"
Typical of packsniffers. (jk,jk)

[Rasty]

Admitting you sniff packs is the first step to recovery John!

[Rasty]

Is the spot some kind of stain remover?

[Big Mac]

I thought a Spot unit was some male dogs wiener.

[Lugnut]

No, he's a dog.

What the hell happened to Karen? Where are the lots of questions?

[Lugnut]

Apparently her questions have been answered, about us anyway. :angel:

[Sarcasm The Elf]

Apparently her questions have been answered, about us anyway. :angel:


Her only question was whether any of us wanted to click on the advertising/spam links in her signature line. Go ahead and read the "articles" in the link, they're hilarious. I think they were written in a foreign language and then turned into English using google translate or a similar site.

[SGT Rock]

They wouldn't open for me.

[Hog On Ice]

I didn't even realize that they were links until you mentioned it - sounds like Karen the spammer needs to be ahhhhh edited

[Superman]

Or does thread drift automatically take care of that?

[hikerboy]

[Superman]

Tin man talks funny because he's from CT.

[Roche]

Tin man talks funny because he's from CT.Tin Man is also the reason why many trail guidebooks refuse to include CT.

[Superman]

Tin Man is also the reason why many trail guidebooks refuse to include CT.

Is that because of his shuttle service?

[Superman]

Is that because of his shuttle service?

I thought it was because there is nothing note worthy in CT. I think the highest hill was 1500'.

[Superman]

or was it because CT people are so up tight their zoning prohibits fun but allows mosquitoes.

[Superman]

or how many ct people does it take to make a hiking stove.


It doesn't matter ...they can't do it. They mix a martini and sniff packs.

[Oljm]

No not at all.....we go to the pack shop, and buy the latest gizmo stove, with all that disposable income we are suppose to have. Besides, I don't like gin, I like rum!

[Superman]

You may notice that I make sweeping unsubstantiated generalities that 87.3% of the people feel aren't as meaningful as they seem.

[hikerboy]

No not at all.....we go to the pack shop, and buy the latest gizmo stove, with all that disposable income we are suppose to have. Besides, I don't like gin, I like rum!you re not from the right part of ct.you're doing it wrong!

Oh, law. That is not even close.

thank you. thank you. bless your heart.

[Superman]

Southern New England is not the same as being from The south. Just sayin.

[Oljm]

I use to be from North 'Staven, I'm now from south Saybrook

[Superman]

Are you near the water?

[Hog On Ice]

more likely near whiskey

[Oljm]

Are you near the water?

.8 from Harveys beach

more likely near whiskey

Pussers......Dewars

[Hog On Ice]

ahh yes White Label - my first scotch on my personal trail to hell

[Oljm]

We fixed one of the Subaru salesmans cars last December. He gave me a bottle of Double Black, special edition. I gave it to my dad. Dewars is ALL he drinks( or coffee). It was smooth, good stuff. We have it on the rocks, on the holidays.

[Superman]

.8 from Harveys beach


Pussers......Dewars

Holy crap....people would pay to live there.

[Oljm]

Holy crap....people would pay to live there.

Holy crap is right, I rent a raised ranch, I pay more for it than my mortgage in 'Staven.........and it was nicer and bigger. I actually live on Cottage, off Old Post Road,across from the elementary school and Acton Library.

I still think of Old Saybrook as it was 40 to 50 years ago. There were all those little cottages near the beaches that were just summer homes. Then they were insulated and enlarged to the maximum zoning would allow. The Clam Castle was right across the river from where I lived in Guilford. There were no hotels except for that one right on the water. Rte 1 only had light traffic....can you imagine. There was a one old man liquor store that sold to teenagers. I used to do business with Capt. Jack's Marina. Jack must be dead by now. Before my mother passed she told me that getting me out of Staven was one her better parenting moves.

We sent our son to St. Bernadettes and then ND westhaven. What was the name of that place just over the river into Madison on the south side of Rt.1? We would always stop there on the way back from my mothers friends who lived on that road at Mark Ford.

[Superman]

The Hob Nob. That used to be a small diner on the other side of the road. The original owner that built the business was a great cook....but when he made a meatball grinder he'd put his hand right into the boiling sauce and pick out the meatballs. His hands were all scars from years of doing that. He claimed that he had no feeling left in his hands.

What happened after ND?

[Oljm]

What happened after ND?

3/4 different tries at college, he tried to scare his mother with the Marine Corps, but he had an auto wreck and has a rod in his femur. He now works for Metro North. He's a good kid, always works hard. he had a bout with booze but he's good now.

[Oljm]

The Hob Nob!!!!!!!!!! Yea, now I remember! That diner is now a pizza place.....'somethin' Tomato.....I forget. And the Hob Nob building is a rug store now.

[Tin Man]

I used to spend a fair amount of time on the water in that area back when my father kept a boat in Westbrook. Ever get over to Abbott's in Noank?
