Hippie: a usu. young (old)person who rejects the mores of established society (as by dressing unconventionally(read backpack) or favoring communal living)(read tent) and advocates broadly : a long-haired (read Bald)unconventionally dressed young person.

Hiker: pretty self explanitory
66: as in 1966 the year I was born.

It's also an oxymoron from my buddies because I am just a back country harmonica playing redneck and damn pround of it.

RE: Trail names
Bobka.........tripod fits for your photography, too.

Hey, I need to write you with a couple other cool photo things going on. There's some people who meet with a pro photog in this weird chatroom thing where you can post photos.

Everyone comments by typing, although the moderator/photographer talks. So yes, you need sound setup. It's pretty interesting, although the photog can be obnoxious. I'll have to send you a link.

Also, try www.photo.net/ for interesting posts and comments. The site is HUGE!!

lizs, please do send me a link on the moderator/photographer thing. This sounds cool.

Well, my son got his before he was thrown off a Star Trek message board. It seems he was a little too annoying even for a bunch of Trekkies. He really is a very bright child, just a little overactive. Please be understanding.

Tripod, I can't help but giggle. I was once told a story about a person met on the AT on Hike Naked Day a few years back. His name was Tripod cause if his, well, never mind.

RE: Trail names
I married into a U.P. Finn family and started attending some ethnic events where some assumed my name would be Finnish, too. A mention of us in a Finnish-language newspaper Finnified my anglo name, so I thought I should have one for real when I posted here. Pekka is a popular man's name in Finland and one of the easier ones to pronounce. My brother just sent me a book titled "Finnish Aces of WWII." A Lt. Pekka Kokko is on the roster and all those K's are a hoot. Kokko means "bonfire" in Finnish, and in fact I'd thought of it when choosing a TT moniker, because I've always loved building fires, but will keep it in reserve.

Sassafras and Birch, if you want to tag your little one, koivun kaiku (think the spelling's right) means "echo of the birch" in Finnish.
