“hi everyone, im wild flower
ive stopped in a couple of times before askedquestion or 2 and you all have helped me out. thanks for the info on denatured fuel it did work even if it burned way fast.
so i thoughti would say a formal hello
i live in NYC and my stomping grounds are Harriman State Park. i just went to the Catskills a couple of weeks ago with my 14yr daughter. she and i had a blast.
i do see some names that i have seen before and thats cool.
well maybe the best way to get you all comfy with me is with a good (or maybe very bad joke)

ps dont hold bad joke against me please

what kind of bee gives milk??








boobie.

LOL

so hope you have a very good weekend. im going on an overnight trip with my sons boy scout troop. should be fun my husband and myself are in training to lead the pack next year.”

“God help you with leading the scout troop. That's what my husband and I do. We have over 40 boys currently active.”

“In one fell swoop, you've offended both bees and boobs (or, as they like to be called, mammaries). Argh.”

“maybe i shouldnt tell you the one about the frog.lol
ps ive have some pics. if you want to see then.

“You fell for "The Leader of the Pack"? <G>”

“Tilt-ouch!”

“woo thats alot of kids
we might only have 7 at the most. the older boys will be moving on. but my sons age group will be staying with us. i love doing this kind of things.”

“You fell for "The Leader of the Pack"? "
sorry i dont understand that one”

“Tilt, do you play poker?”

“Welcome Wildflower! BTW, I love that joke. Boobie. Hilarious!”

“poke 'er? he just met 'er!”

“Hi Wild Flower! I live in Dumont, NJ.. about 10 minutes from Manhattan, and I also frequent Harriman State Park and the Catskills.. heading to the Catskills this weekend, matter of fact! Keep me in mind if you need or want to offer any advice! :-)”

“i loved the catskills we went to trout pond thats right below cherry ridge cambell mountain. i had a cold and didnt want to go to far on the mountain with my daughter.

“nice to meet you all even if its in cyber world”

“Oh, you'll get to know us real well (even in the cyber world).”

“looking forward to it. maybe even on the trail.
i met towndawg here in nyc with his son. didnt hike but still had a chance to share a beer or two. good people!!”

“welcome to the nut house. Cover your backside and be ready to duck. It gets messy in here!”

“im just going to have to shake the tree and see what nuts come falling out!!”

“Be careful the nuts aren't coconuts. They can hurt!”

“got to go now hope to talk to you all next week. hope to talk with you all alot.bye bye
happy trials
(oh god that was corney)”

“Hey wildflower! I'm new here too so I might as well introduce myself in this thread as well. I'm Flowbee (it's an old fraternity nickname, after the home haircutting device, in case you were wondering...yes...it means what you think it does.... Anyways, I live in Houston, TX, far from any mountains . I look forward to getting to know all of you better, even though you will think I'm strange...everyone does...”

“Strange in a strange land is no big deal.”

“Point well taken...I guess maybe my strangeness is very mild in this arena...”

“Hi everyone! More Mid-Atlantic scout people! If you have met TownDawg (how does he do it?), is he the reason you are posting here? This man manages to recruit more new trailtalkers, even on Artex, Violin, Ice Tea and my home turf! I don't think any of us have recruited trailtalkers. We have PA scoutmasters who have hiked with us on the WRT and BFT in PA, but they were recruited by some other more outgoing trailtalkers, not me.

Well Hi to wildflower the scout leader (I'm a girl scout leader of 7 year olds) and Hi to Flowbee of Houston where I barely managed not to be moved to (but it will probably happen eventually). It is not that I don't like Houston (hate the humidity though), but I like not having to move.”

“Here's that reference WF...

(you Made me do it, LOL)


I met him at the candy store.
He turned around and smiled at me.
Ya get the picture? (Yes, we see)
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack.

My folks were always puttin' him down.
Down! Down!
They said he came from the wrong side of town.
They told me that he was bad,
but I knew that he was sad.
And thats why I fell for the leader of the pack.


There's more, but I think you get the picture, LOL”

“Gee, I thought it was a reference to a Cub pack master. My bad.”

“<ARGH>”

“Tilt, do you spend all your time collecting and indexing musical and literary quotes?”

“Nah... LOL

But I was raised by bartenders and folk musicians, and play guitar a little bit myself... so when I first got on the 'Net I collected a ton of lyrics websites.

Like this one

And when I run across an interesting quote, I'll copy&paste it somewhere. That Copy&paste thing is too easy.

I actually make an effort to collect Astronomical acronyms...”

“Who sang that....the Shangri Las or something like that. Loved the motorcycle sound...vooom, vooom.”

“Oops, forgot to welcome Wild Flower...so WELCOME ABOARD WILD FLOWER. Hope you enjoy this site as I have.”

“how was everyones weekend?
mine was ok I guess. I guess you can pick your friends but not your family!
did go camping with my sons troop to alpine camp in NJ. awsome!!
we had a great time. but i had to leave to go to my sisters. I should have stayed PUT!

“Wild Flower Try Stokes State Park in NJ. Its in the NW tip of NJ, it is the highpoint of NJ and the AT cuts the corner there. It is a cool place and not too far from NYC. Welcome to the funny farm.”

“Silly Stikmon, High Point State Park is the highest point in NJ. It is north of Stokes.

Stokes has some nice campsites in the main camping area, and the group camping area is nice. but don't go to Stillwell Pond, it was like a dead tree swamp last year. The main camping area is usually booked ahead on weekends, maybe a month in advance. If you have a canoe, you can canoe there on the lake. And a creek runs near some of the campsites. I don't think that there was swimming at the lake though.”

“in Nj have the most cops that i have ever seen. my sister and I stayed at a park (i think in clinton)and all day and all night cops drive up and down the campsite road. thats another reason i dont do state parks (family camp grounds)
i like private camp grounds much better. but it was a great area.”

“My mom's husband's son (I guess that makes him my stepbrother, but geez, I barely know him) was picked up by the Florida cops a few years agoa while he was staying in a state park down there. It seems that it's common practice there for the cops to drive through the parking lot and run all the car tags through their database and see if anything pops up. Well, they got him for a failure to appear on a 10-year-old traffic ticket. Right before he left for Desert Storm, his girlfriend got a parking ticket. He didn't have time to take care of it, and the military assured him everything would be taken care of. So he never thought about it again. Normally, it would have been past the statute of limitations, but he did something else down there (don't remember what, it was minor) and this old failure-to-appear warrant popped up again. So yeah, sometimes it's best to avoid state parks.

Or at least get someone else to drive.”

“Clinton? Would that be car-campin' at Spruce Run?

Not that I would ever admit to car camping on a backpacking website but...

I may have gotten a $75 ticket for beer at Spruce Run. They do have a big sign at the gate explaining the no alcohol policy but we didn't see it - otherwise we would have hidden the beer when the stupid cop circled around. They stole our beer too.



Oh. Welcome to the monkey house by the way.”

“I've never seen the police at a state park in Florida.

Lots of rangers, never police. Might be a local thing.”

“I paid the ticket to the local municipality in a state park. It's a revenue thing.”

“G-d Bless You, Mr. Rosewater.”

“LOL, Violin. There seems to be a lot of drinking incidents in your repetoire. Has anyone else noticed this? There was a story about hanging a food bag only a few feet off the ground, due to a little after dinner drinking.

Violin, you just need to become a State Park patrolman and then you can have beer at your campsite, and you don't even have to buy it.”

“It's OK Tilt, no one has to get it.”

“If we'd waited till after dinner to start drinking LyndyS, we'd have had an easier time with that beer bag.”

“Err... bear bag.”

“....maybe if you are a wanted criminal”

“hay the cops were there before i got naked!!”

“Yes, I think you'll fit right in here, <GRIN>.”

“thank you!!!”

“Hey wahts up Wild Flower and welcome to TT and all its crazyness!!!!!

Have a blast and I hope you have a good time here!
