Name my magazine!!

“I am trying to put together and publish my own (local) hiking magazine. I need a name for this baby! Make your suggestions here. I know the TT peeps will give me some good ones!

Some of our initial thoughts:
Switchback (there already is one)
Trailhead
Trail Posts
WA Hikes
Boots
Trails
Get Out
Beaten Path
Hikes

Any other ideas? suggestions?”

“Trekking

Hot Hikes

Into The Woods”

“Walkin In The Woods And Sleepin In Woods Nuse Payper”

“di, you come over here to see if we have any better ideas than the folks on bp'er eh..tsk,tsk..lol”

“Cascadia Deathhikes.”

“I'm just getting as many ideas as I can Ewker. That other thread sorta got derailed anyway! LOL”

“Freaks in the woods. lol”

“"Where The Heck Are We" weekly”

“Weekly! YIKES!! LOL. No, no... monthyly.

I did have a school newspaper column called Walking the Woods. Hmmm....”

“Wilderness Walks”

“How To Doodoo In The Woods”

“I don't care for Switchback if it's already taken. Trailhead sounds great! Trails not so bad. Get Out? Hmm, not so sure on that one. Hikes? Maybe.

What's the focus of the zine, Di? Where to hike in WA? Trail reports and such? That might help us give you better suggestions.

How about:
Waypoint
Pack Facts
Terrific Terrains
Miles Under Boot
Following the Skyway
Xtreme Xplorer
Hikes and Trails
A Midsummer Night's Jaunt
Wilderness Walking
Nature by Foot
Let Your Boots Do the Walking
Trailside (probably taken)
Outdoor Packsion (Passion)
Mountain Strides

Let me know if you need someone to write about footwear! :)”

“LOL. That sounds like a good article name. I don't want people to think the mag is about Doodooing! lol”

“Wilderness Washington”

“Hiking with Di”

“Trail Notes”

“FOOT




ON FOOT

“Pacific North,South,East and West”

“Read, Crap, Wipe, Bag and Carryout

-- or --

Read, Dig, Crap, Wipe and Bury

A multipurpose mag ... good enough to bring on the trail! :)”

“I love sarabelle! : )”

“Hey DD! Thanks. I will be looking for local writers. You gonna come visit? ;)”

“FootNotes
TrailTalk ;-)”

“Foot Notes makes me think of school! lol

I think there may be copy right issues with TrailTalk. LOL.

I like Trailside, but wasn't that Veheman's project? From Backpacker magazine?”

“Grungy Bushwacker Illustrated

”

“heh.. well if you put a monthly cooking column in it.. I might give you rights to a certain phrase.. since I like you!

hMmmm.. but a name for the mag.. if it is going to focus on local stuff..



Do you have a local place.. that you really like the name of?.. that is somewhat eccentric?

Maybe an Indian name that sounds really kewl??”

“I would be surprised if anyone has a copyright on TrailTalk. It is used in lots of different places already. Even here, it isn't the name of a company or a product or even a website. It is just the name of the discussion board of this website.

What are the names of the local area that might be appropriate as part of the publication name?”

“MAPLELEAF TRAILHEADS”

“Fritz and I think alike.”

“I've been wanting to get out west anyway. I'll see if there's any trips planned. I promise I won't be a "no show" this time! Won't have time to check until I get back from Dallas. Auf weidersehen!”

“hiker trash
the magazine for outdoor lovers.

outhouse
all kinds of #&%!$ in here”

“TownDawg, of COURSE there will be a cooking column! Sarbar has already volunteered to write, and I have a million ideas on that too. :)

I like Nature of the NW.

What do you guys think of PNWH? Pacific Northwest Hikes. Named for the Posse? ;)”

“Hikers with Dutchman's Britches”

“Make up a name using Cheetwoot. I love the sound of it.”

“LOL! We don't really have Dutchman's Britches here. They have them in Oregon though. :)”

“I keep thinking "Trails, Gear and Life" for some reason ...”

“Hmmm... I like that.

Life trails? Northwest trails?”

“I feel it needs to have a funny edge. LOL
If see a funny titeled newsletter I will most likely pick it up.

but...serious is fine too i guess :(”

“oh well the US Plants database indicated that they are in PNW - http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/plant_profile.cgi?symbol=DICU”

“I want the name to reflect the magazine... Not stuffy, but not *too* fun either.

Any ideas Gemini? you always come up with good stuff. :)”

“Northwest Nanook?

lol..”

“Yup. Just not *this* far north. I saw them at Eagle Creek in March. That is just south of the Columbia River, in Oregon. :)


Dang... could I? Should I? Name it Dicentra??!!!”

“Dicentra Authoritay!”

“now this is a bit funny - as you click on the various states that have state distribution maps all the states show the counties that have records of DICU as highlighted in green _except_ Tenn. - their maps show the counties highlighted in ... yep UT orange”

“:).. awesome.”

“The American NorthWest”

“Oh... nevermind. I get it now.

Continute on with your suggestions. :)
