newby

“ROTFLMAO!.. hey.. not fair.. I'm still drinking coffee here..

Seriously.. I have NO idea how I did that.”

“so i/a pal changed my name so i wanted to give you guys the heads up. playfulcitygirl is now woolcap...i am awaiting the continuation of heckling and i appreciate the welcome;)”

“She wised up quick. The first moniker would've gotten the hounds out pretty thick.”

“towndawg..thanks for the invite if you could handle a newby......

“http://www.thebackpacker.com/trips/trip/684.php

lol.. sign up.”

“i put down as a maybe..i guess it is sink or swim. right?”

“woolcrap ? I dont get it.”

“Welcome.

Here's the obligatory (got it myself when I joined)....

TROLL!”

“thanks for the welcome techntrek...i have grown to appreciate the heckling..”

“Sink or swim? I've never 'lost' a hiker yet. I refuse to have a trip and not get everyone out alive. We've had a few good scares, but hey -- we like to push it pretty hard.”

“that is reasurring and a little scary all in one...i wouldn't want to hold you guys back. when i say new to backpacking i mean pretty darn new. my past camping experience was established camp ground and a cooler of beer..if you think i could manage i am all for it”

“Towndawg is the only one who gets lost..lol


welcome whatever your name is today”

“If you can manage to backpack in a cooler full of beer we'll appoint you mayor of trailtalk”

“*laughs *..

If you are serious.. we will help you prepare, and make sure you do fine.

My friend Bryan is coming also. He has never been backpacking.. never even been hiking.. I got enough equipment, that I'm putting all his stuff together from my extra stuff.

I've got to get to work here though.. so won't be able to post much longer today..

“Hog On Ice was almost appointed mayor when he brough a case up for everyone on the Old Rag trip a month or two ago. And brats. And a small grill. Ooooo, that was good stuff.”

“count me in i have some gear and if i am not the only newby. i am in. thanks for the invite..and you would be amazed at what i could do with a cooler of beer. so i will take my appointment;)

“I'd recommend finding the biggest hill in town now and climb it....alot. This trail has some serious elevation gain. You should probably get TD to fax or mail you a copy of the trail profile so that you have an idea what you're getting yourself into. The views will be fabulous though. Gregory BAld has about 26 varieties of wild azalea that will be maybe 1 week before peak bloom when you get there.”

“woolcap: sent you an email from work. holla back once you get it.


ok.. I'm outtie.. got work to do.. laterz.

“Towndawg, She aint no holla back girl, no she aint no holla back girl”

“woolcap,

Welcome aboard! Dub is the closest TTer to you, but watch him. He will steal your gear and sell it on Ebay!

Go sign up for the West Virginia trip in July. It will be a good trip for you to meet all the crazies!

Don't be afraid to ask questions.”

“The entire West coast says welcome...


Well, perhaps not the whole West coast....


OK, a few of us say welcome.........


OK, perhaps not a few....


Welcome from me anyway

“woo hoo, TD thinks i'm SASSY! :-D

hi woolcap, welcome to TT. are you SURE you want to change your name? i mean the first one was so short & easy to type!”

“mtnsteve tell the west coast (you) thanks for the welcome...”

“woolcap humm wc hummmmmm don't pull that handle!!! opps - too late - dang flushed again”

“Troll! Welcome aboard from an occasional TTer. I am from the Dayton area and there are a few decent places to hike not too far from you...”

“Welcome miss Troll Lady, come on in, the water's fine.”

“Playfulcitygirl was better then woolcap.

how bout woolygirl ? or just citygirl ?

Ps: welcome”

“playfulwooly?”

“No one accused me of being a troll when I first got on here. Interesting...

Speaking of trolls. Whatever happened to good ol DizzyDana?

As for playful/woolcap. Troll? Hmm. I was believing you were real until you claimed you were going to hike in a cooler of beer. That's ludicrious! Well unless it's about a mile to your destination.. LOL!”

“yeah, "woolcap" is not exactly sexxxy. "woolthong" maybe??”

“I'm really real! Really I am!

Welcome to TT, sister! What color are your crocs?”

“maybe the woolcap is what is inside the thong !!”

“As far as trolling goes, you can't use a wool cap to pull the wool over my eyes! :sparkle:”

“don't be a sicko, manuka.

"sparkle," LMAO!!”

“Personally, I don't find anything wrong hiking in my butt floss. Unless I drank a cooler full of beer. Then it might not be so fun. :twirl:”

“woolcap ain't no troll. I'll vouch for her.”

“Yeah pixie, I never got called a troll either when I first came aboard. WTF?

Welcome woolcap if you are real. Its gonna be a long ass drive to the smokies for ya...”

“Naw.. I checked it. It's only 6.5 hrs.

She says she is coming down. I told her I'd talk (newbie) Bryan into hauling all her stuff up the mountain.”

“embear, we are too cool for school, that's why.

DizzyDelilah: Hey DDX, *sparkle*? LOL! : p I love ya Smoochy. You crack me up.”

“How do you know she's real, TD? She let you watch her live webcam or something?”

“I love you, too, lyra and pixie! :group hug:”

“When I first ot here Stovestomper vouched for me and said I wasn't a troll :D Lightweighters gotta stick together you know.”

“What happened to DizzyDana??

Too many Dizzy's around here.

woolcap, I will be on Roaring Plains, WVa tomorrow.

There will be 5-6 of us.

It is about 30 miles east of Elkins, WVa.
That's under 300 miles from Columbus.......I think.

It is the next up on the Trips Page.”

“it takes me exactly 4 hrs to get to sugarland visitor center from my house. i bet coming from columbus it could be done in between 5and a half and 6. you just gotta find a fast group to get in the middle of going down 75 through kentucky. usually a cop around georgetown and sitting in the median at either exit 151 or 143 and maybe another at exit 62. other than that put the pedal to the medal.”

“thanks td...i guess you'll just have to wait and see if i am for real. i am td will report back after the trip. embear thanks for the concern about the long road trip i am more concerned with this whole tail of the dragon road”

“ductape..thanks for the helpful advice. i have a lead foot.something cops often frown upon.”

“Ooops....thought it would be much longer of a drive, but is prolly the same distance for me too. Well, 4 hours unless Ewker and I get stuck in Gatlinburg traffic....

Do you have all the gear you need?”

““When I first ot here Stovestomper vouched for me and said I wasn't a troll :D Lightweighters gotta stick together you know.”

Dang, isn't a guy allowed ONE mistake! ;-)

(I 'knew' DDX from backpacking.net)”

“i ran thru a quick gear check with TD i think i should manage for the weekend. i hope you don't mind a newby tagging along.”

“not at all. It will be good to have another girl on the trip too. These guys can get to be a little much sometimes:) Be prepared for some DOM though.”
