“woolcap, there are a lot of newbie threads. I don't know which one you mean. : )”

“How did this turn into a hair thread ?
You woman always do this.”

“http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/38441,-1.php
i think i am doing this right. and it is newby sorry.i think there is only one newby. but it is on one of those pages i think page 2 or 3”

“that would be me...now i feel popular being posted on two sites it is kinda a dark pic but you can still see the brillo pad”

“I see you!”

“umm whats up with the glowing freaky eyes darlin?”

“I can't see. : (
My work monitor is so dark (set to the lightest setting too.) : (
I noticed on the thread that DizzyDana made an appearance. Maybe she is real! I should look her up on my way south with Rat Packer in July and confirm if she is a troll or not. LOL!”

“i was in cancun what do you expect mleaf”

“I'd expect less clothing”

“LOL good point and good pic.

you look like you enjoy life.
so make your way south and do the Harriman trip!
it is now mandatory (sp) for all East Coast Newbies!”

“and metrosexuals”

“oh so you are coming hyway?”

“hyway--why do you think the pic is cropped. and yes for all of you i am real. what harriman trip fill me in. pixie i am welcome to visitors. and i am all for enjoyment:)”

“I don't think I'll be in Ohio anytime soon, but thanks for the invite! : )”

“ohhh i thought you were saying something about passing my way in july”

“Nope, going through DizzyDana's neck of the woods. But I highly suspect she's a troll. We are driving from Seattle down to Yosemite, then Sequoia, then Vegas, back through Death Valley to Lone Pine, CA to meet the Sierra Rendevous trip folks for some fun, then home.
I think you are real. ; )”

“sounds like a fun trip...wish i could wander your way”

“Who hijacked my introduction/troll thread? >:|

Am I supposed to post a pic? Hmmm...”

“Ok, here I am:


That's me in 2003 when I worked as a wildlife tech for the Dixie National Forest in Utah.

I have lots of other photos...

“sorry i was not trying to hijack your thread we were all playing...no intention of stealing your light. please proceed. welcome by the by. and i guess you probably should otherwise i would be the only one with a pic on your thread and that would be no fun”

“BTW, I have quite a few Ohio connections, still (I went to school at Wittenberg University in Springfield), and will probably pass through somewhat regularly as my parents live in Indianapolis, and I have a few other connections there, too.”

“yea!! i actually went to undergrad at slippery rock university and am familiar with the pa area. nice pic by the way much cuter than mine..see you are already regaining your thread”

“I knew I had to take a stand somehow...lest the thread degenerate further into requests for cyber sex or somesuch.”

“great pic
but can I ask WHY are you wearing a hard hat on the trail?

LOL”

“incase a tree falls on him- duh”

“prehistoruic birds drop prehistoric crap. its hard”

“LMAO”

“nice hard hat... and to think they called me a troll when I first said hello...didn't get quite the reception you are recieving ... thats a good thing... I buy and drink beer ... thats a better thing....”

“LOL you are a good troll then Mr. tone”

“good point maple.

good trolls bring beer.

bad trolls don't.”

“oh man, that should be in the rules somewhere!

hey Matt, can you please include this?



good trolls bring beer.

bad trolls don't.””

“msm: are you lurking in the shadows...come out and play i like your hard hat:)”

“don't encourage the bad trolls wooly.”

“oops my bad:) lol. i guess i was hoping we could convert him”

“note the caption to the pic...I was working for the USFS. The USFS requires its employees to wear hard hats when they're out in the woods b/c of the risk of widowmakers.

For that matter, private companies have the same regulations. Stupid OSHA.

I think I need to start carrying a big stick in the woods with me...in case woolcap is out there. Beware of my wife, woolie...she's a feisty one and she doesn't take too well to other women hitting on me.

Hehe, ok, so I'm a bad troll...I can live with that. ”

“i am sure i could take her..lol. kidding of course.”

“plus i enjoy my guys with more equipment not only a hard hat...you asked for your site to return to cybersex or some such..just trying to help you out
