Oct 2001 Backpacker Magazine

“The Oct 2001 Backpacker Magazine looks like a pretty good issue. It has lots of trail information. I noticed that many of the trails mentioned have been used for TT trips.”

“I concur...lots of trail info in this issue.

They noted Zaleski in OH and the Black Forest Trail in PA, which are two TTrip the next-to-the-last and last weekends of September, respectively.”

“Also, Mt. Rogers and Linville Gorge, various sections of the AT, not to mention Yosemite, King's Canyon, and Sequoia.”

“I think this proves that they are plagiarizing us!”

“I think this proves they are plagiarizing us!”

“LOL!”

“LOL!”

“Rodale's www.backpacker site.. they only WISH they were as good as us.

:)”

“Aha! So TownDawg is the mole! You know what we do to spies don't you?”

“What did it say bout me?
/o:3”

“'good'?

%^)”

“HEH.. oh my gosh.. my secret is out now?.. dang..

I was hoping you would not realize I was on the payroll for them.. to 'steal shamelessly'.”

“A former Rodale senior editor is the new journalism prof. at my alma mater. I'm hoping one of my friends in the English Dept. will introduce me sometime so I can get some inside dope on the place.”

“I'm not getting it any more. The just stoped sending the mags to me, I know I sent in the money. I guess I should give them a call. Does any one have there 1800#?”

“This worked for me

or call 1-800-666-3434”

“I filled out a very detailed customer survey for Backpacker Mag some month back. The last two issues have been pretty good. Maybe they are trying to be more responsive.”

“Why am I always the last one to get my magazine?? *still waiting* *sigh*”

“I don't subscribe anymore.”

“I'm still waiting for mine. Maybe tomorrow.”

“Are you guys kidding me? I just got my Sept. issue last week. Maybe it's because I'm in Canada.”

“I understand they send it to the oldest subscibers first and work their way down.”

“I'll get it last. They send it to my CA address, and I get it shipped to me from there.”

“I'm about 6 days behind the earliest recipients. I gathered this information via TT.”

“Pekka, Rodale is just the publishing house all the titles are separate entities. The Senior Editor dude could have worked on any one of their titles and never even seen an issue of Backpacker.”

“I'm going to subscribe. I've missed some of what were supposed to be pretty good issues. Everytime I get a copy, I devour it front to back.

I also really like National Geographic's Adventure Magazine.”
