Tn. hiking group

“Hello, to all the Tn and Ky hikers I have hiked with over the last year. This is my first thread, second post. I really hope that the controversy in some of the other threads doesn't stop anyone from enjoying the wonderful hiking group we have here.....I have done several hikes with Katibug and Stan, (yes the man in question) plus many others, some who are not with us anymore and that to, is a shame. EVERYONE has always been helpful, thoughtful and very considerate of me, as a new backpacker. It would be a real shame to let this "stuff" get in the way of wonderful outings. Hope to see you all soon again. I will be on the trip next week. I look forward to meeting more of you in person......Debbieb”

“You do know that this is actually a wife swapping forum don't you?”

“Very funny bacpac.....But since I'm not married I don't have to worry now do I?”

“Switch hitters are welcome too as you can handle the long ball.”

“LMAO!!!!!!!!!”

“Welcome to the Freak Parade, <G>”

“Who said anything about being a switch hitter.....I can handle any kind of ball you have! The question is can you?”

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!



8o”

“Batter up.”

“LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!



8)”

“Waiting for the pitch......”

“This is where I would normally throw a hard fast ball, but I think I can sucker you with a slider.”

“Well, Your probably right, so shall we call it a strike out or walk?”

“Welcome to the major league.”

“Well, I will have to back to the minors if I let you sucker me again....”

“Bacpac is out local comedic relief, as long as you find insults and ham-handed attempts at double entendre funny.

By the way, do they make any whisky in Tennesee?”

“It's good to know you pitch and don't catch bacpac!...*laughs*”

“I gotta hit the showers.”

“I don't drink whisky, I am a Bailey's person myself....but yes we do make whiskey here in Tn. Legally and also Illegally....and I am not offended by insults or any attempt at comedy. At least not yet, I guess that could change!”

“well deb since you decided it was time to come out of the closet may I remind you it is also time to send Phil a picture?”

“naked.


Those are the rules...”

“WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!”

“hey is mtn gal's picture still up there?”

“Never, never will I send a "naked" picture....but I will send one that was taken in Jackson hole Wy. last year in front of the archway antlers, while I was there hiking....where do I send it?”

“Hogonice,
I will send the picture, I am now off to ballroom dance lessons....it helps me be light on my feet when I am hiking.....Just tell me where to send it....”

“Phil's Photo Page

It tells who to send them to.

(there's also a link just on the right side of this page... under "LINKS")”

“When you get through ballroom dancing (OOOOO)..let me say welcome to TT..I have heard alot about you..looking forward to hiking with you.. :~ )”

“Hi Debbie, you ready to tackle Gabes Mtn trail again.”

“Hi Mr.Eddy :~ )”

“Hi Ewker,
Can't wait to hit the trail again.
It's been to long. I haven't done much all summer. But plan on hiking whenever possible all fall.
I still have the dream to hike the teton crest trail next year, although it didn't happen this year. So whenever possible this fall I will be on the trail.”

“Thanks for the welcome to tt. I have been reading the posts here for a while. Trying to pick up tips whenever possible from people who have much more experience than I do....I never felt the need to post until today.....Look forward to meeting you also......”

“Debbie, I thought you two already knew each other”

“Nope, somehow we have missed each other on the trips. (At least I don't think so, I can't put real names and faces with trail names yet)”

“debbieb - Got your pic. No need to respond to my question about your trailname.

Are you a ballroom dancer? If so, what dances do you like?”

“
from Kentucky”

“Welcome Debbieb!”

“Phil, I already answered your email. Please don't tell everyone how stupid I am about the trail name business. Ha. Anyway I do attempt to ballroom dance. I have c/w danced for about 10 years. This ballroom stuff is much more difficult, although great fun. My favorite dance is by far the rumba, next waltz, then cha cha comes in at a close third. Do you dance?

I have really been suprised by how many hikers are in the Nashville area. I hope to get a chance to meet everyone on a hike in the near future.”

“Yep, I would say you stepped up to the plate with bacpac and managed not to catch a breaking ball to the head. That's a good sign.

Welcome aboard.”
