Will the real TT'ers please stand up?

“Actually I am a
So Cal Hiker, but visit TT because you make me laugh!”

“Can I sit down now? I'm starting to get tired.”

“Well, I still check-in once in a while to see what's up, but life is too busy and too short to spend much time on the internet, even a cool site like this.

I appreciate your question, Town Dawg, because I need real connections with people now more than ever. When the discourse here gets a little too scathing (and I'm not talking about differences of opinion, even passionate ones) I find myself checking out.”

“Duna?

Why couldn't you sit down before?
An avocado get there first?”

“I can't believe this site actually p.o.es people enough that they would leave.

Leave because it gets boring (Kleety). yes. Or you go on a hike (everyone). Or you get a life (Sunshine). Or you have personal crisises to attend to (Pamster & rad). But because someone pisses you off? Ridiculous.

Stop taking life so seriously. This isn't even real life. It's TT Ü A break from the mundane.”

“Amen Bizstalker.”

“Walkindude isn't really real. I'm just a creation of Rad.
Rad's real though.”

“Is there guilt by association here?”

“Zen Master Mel asks
"Which sat first, the avocado or the mind?"
I stand for the same reason the pit is too large.

Did I transition to the next level, oh master?”

“I'm just a figment of your imagination.”

“Deep, Dunadan..... deep.










(ouch!)”

“ey em gnot ise tee.”

“Yup I'm real. But I love you trolls and am thinking of trying my hand at the fine art of trolling.”

“Ban Steve's Troll!!!!”

“Ban roll-on.”

“i'm new - just became interested in bpking about a month ago - have been hiking for a couple years. this site is great. - hi!”

“Hello sunny, welcome to the madness. The secret to this site is to jump in, have fun, don't let yourself become frustrated, don't take things personal and above all dispense with all of your inhibitions. Where are you from? How old are you? And have you ever been in a hot tub naked with 6 other consenting adults of the opposite gender? LOL.”

“thanks!
i am from VA but live in PA now. I'm 26. i don't really have any inhibitions...lol”

“r u a boy or a girl sunny?”

“I'm a poser, a lurker, a backpacker and a real person. I visit sometimes.

Love,”

“girl - you?”

“LOL, sunny. I forgot to tell you beware of the trolls.”

“oops! i'm married anyway and let me add - happily. thanks chili!”

“I look forward to meeting you (and your husband, presuming he BP's as well). Despite the madness, I think you will find several bp'ers here who will be able to help you when you have questions.”

“Welcome Sunny!”

“Hope to hike with you sometime, Sunny. We just did a few group PA hikes in Sept, Oct, Nov. I'm in NJ, married with children. My husband hasn't gone on the group trips because someone has to watch the kids. But hopefully someday he will join me.”

“Thanks! Are there many TT'ers in the Northeast? I'm not sure if my husband is going to be as in-to this as i am...i have to finish getting some gear, but it would be great to go on a group trip sometime.”

“Sunny, my husband is not that into backpacking, he just puts up with it for my sake.

There are a handful of us on Trail Talk from the NJ,NY and PA area. It will be great to have another female along on the group trips. M&M at the Jersey Shore has gone on one group trip with us this fall. She usually backpacks with the boyscouts or girlscouts.”

“I can hike with you's gal's.......Right?”

“There's actually a pretty good group of us in Eastern PA/NJ.

“Yes, Pedxing is in Cambridge, Mad River is close to MA? and we haven't heard from Artex in a long time. Young&Creaky was my first TT name. I'm thinking that there is another PA person that I'm forgettin, though I can't remember who.”

“I'm on a list.. woohoo!!”

“FlyGuy6X, that's who I was forgetting, I think he lives in Central PA.

Varmint, I don't think we've heard from him since 9/11. Has he posted, anyone? He worked in NYC, I remember, and was hoping to leave the city eventually.”

“MadRiver lives in Conn, but has a vacation home in NH.”

“what ever happened to Evergreen? Did she change her name again?”

“Vacation home in NH....hmmm.....sounds like a good person to cozy up to! But I don't remember ever seeing MadRiver post.”

“LOL, he saw you coming, Fritz!”

“Evergreen was with us at Mt. Rogers II”

“Yo. I'm from down-da-way! Nome sayin'?”

“Philly?”

“Yo.”
