My name is dayhiker, and I'm an addict

“Yep, you have him right. I've had the pleasure of meeting him, also.”

“get a room”

“About time some of you NE types mixed with us congenial Southerners. ;-)”

“Stove, I'd be pleased to meet up with any congenial Southerners from TT. In addition, I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.”

“:-)
Pedx, we need to get you down for one of our Sipsey trips.
Creek Dancer flew in and I think she had a great time hiking with us.
She seemed very impressed with how all us 'Alabama' men got along with each other, and how she was treated.
There is a lot of truth to Southern Hospitality.”

“From living in Virginia for 17 years, I never thought so. From having hiked thru much of the smaller town south on the AT,it's definitely true. However, I still think it's more rural vs urban than N vs South.”

“Southern men rock! They are kind, courteous and they are good Americans.”

“This thread has changed and now is turning my stomach. In fact, it is slanderous to those of us who are true-blue rednecks or crackers.

They eat at McDonalds at least 2x/day and own Ford Trucks?”

“Bear I drive a Toyota Tacoma....”

“Why do you hate America, XL?”

“Dayhiker is a great guy!!!!!

I heard this once.....

a Northerner will be rude to you as he stabs you in the back.....

a southerner will be nice to you as he stabs you in the back...

or something like that.....ANYWAY...I love the SOUTH!!!”

“In the south we can say "Bless his heart" and be nice while it really means "what an idiot!!"”

“I got to experience some New England hospitality. It was great meeting ped and Ellen. They drove roughly an hour on a Sunday night to meet me for dinner. I was paranoid that I was running too late and that I was imposing. We had a good conversation that I hope I didn't monopolize too much. The whole drive back to Portmouth, NH I kept thinking, well, that was fun.

Thanks again for a fun evening. It was a pleasure to meet and spend an evening with you both.

The flight back was thankfully uneventful. I made it home by 5:30 and the baby didn't arrive while I was gone.”

“I agree, dayhiker is a class act thru and thru.”

“southernmen....


BAH! now if they would wear kilts...”

“You don't really want to see me in kilts!”

“oh yes I do ;)”

“I have TWO kilts. You can see me in one in my photo album, but it ain't pretty.


I hope Dayhiker remembered to say howdy from me, pedxing. I'm sure he didn't have anything else important to think about.”

“OOps, you did tell me to say hello.

Ped, arc says hello.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.”

“LOL! - I just got back from helping my son move back to college for the semester.

Glad to hear the rest of your trip was uneventful dayhiker. I really didn't expect you any earlier than you were - airport security and car rentals take time. Here's hoping that the upcoming big event in your life goes well. And say hello to Arc for me!”

“I wish I could make that my default error screen”

“Relax boys and girls. Step 12 is carrying the message to others; which means posting on TT. It only works if you work it.”
