Resorting to trolling NWHikers

“Can you believe it?
I can't seem to find anyone to backpack with me this weekend. I have the weekend free and a new backpack to play with.
So I'm sadly and desperately trolling our local board for a trip. NWHikers.net

So so sad. : (

I don't want to solo. I don't think I'm ready. And I think I'd be really bored!

Damn RatPacker for getting his girlfriend into backpacking. Grrr!”

“Where we going Pixie? ;o)”

“I thought rat packer was your bf?”

“Quick get to the airport! : p”

“Nope, he isn't. Now he's ditched me cause his girlfriend likes to go now. So I lost my bp-ing buddy. : (
No one in the PNWH posse wants to go either.”

Yeah, let's hear about it!!!

Post photos, hot weather clothing prefered.”

“fly over here and lets go hiking. :D 2 injured women..hey... we have nothing to loose.”

“well you _could_ always go car camping





mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

“If I could get the in time Pix, I'd hike wit ya!”

“Thanks WK!

Car camping wouldn't allow me to use my new pack...

I wish I could come out Gem! That's be super cool!”

“Poor pixie.
I would go, just as soon as I finialize my Instantaneous Matter Transporter. :-(”

“I picked up a new CD you may like today Pix.

You ever hear of Ray Lamontagne? I think you will like him. He has a mesmerizing voice”

“Sounds like me. All my hiking buddies have married off an had kids. Now I just have to go golfing... by myself. I did do a solo once just to see if I could. Not as bad as I thought it would be.”

Saaaaay, I've got one of those.








It's called a toilet!!”

“ok then go car camping somewhere that has a nice long loop hike, backup your new backpack and take it for a nice long hike that ends up back at your car”

“hmmm, how much are flights to seattle booked with 30 minute notice......”

“$541 with a car rental. (Travelocity last minute deals.)”

“So those people on NWHikers: No one has responded, but 30 people have read my thread. Hmmm. What's that all about? I bet they are wondering who the hell I am, since I never post there. LOL!”

“Hmmm... a little more notice and we could have set something up. I guess I have to settle for a day hike tomorrow”

“Maybe you're not trolling hard enough?

"You're not man enough to hike with me!" might be appropriate.




Or maybe not.”

“$541...... I could do that ;o)”

“oh well, since I'm not wanted I'll head home instead”

“have you considered bribery - for example offer a gourmet meal that you pack in to your hiking partner”

“I'm open to bribes Pixie :oD”

“You guys are funny.

Ah boo Hodge. That would've been fun. Sadly, I'm sort of last minute. I was supposed to be in Vegas this weekend. I only found out late yesterday afternoon that I was staying home.”

“Ok, this is just ridiculous.

71 people have viewed my request to backpack this weekend. Not a taker! What's with these people!?!?

I would say the odds would have it that at least one person out of 71 would go backpacking with me. Maybe they heard about the puke poncho and are scared.

“NOOO!!!! I missed it.... :( this thread should have been mine, grrr. Anyways...

#40000

Now that's a lot of thread.”

“simer, what are you talking about?”

“93 views to my thread now. Does anyone on NWHikers actually hike?”

“pix, maybe you need a tic tac?”

“I'm talking about the number of threads, up in the address line, this is thread number 40,000 - I created both 20,000 and 30,000 - I was watching for 40000 to come along, I was all ready for it too, but then I got caught up in something today, I knew it was coming... then I missed it, which pissed me off. lol”

“Almost none of the yahoos over there actually backpack. It usually is the same 20 people posting TR's....sigh!
Anyhoo, I feel like I am ditching you all to go X/C backpacking with Hikingdrew. Sorry :-(”

“Give me a two week notice and I will come hike.

Nothing like setting up a cross country impromptu backpacking trip just to piss off the ex-wife.

She was from Tacoma, Wa. and I always said that I would take her back there someday and we didn't; Now I can go and make her feel miserable. Teach her to leave me :)

Gee I wonder if Backpacker Magazine would be interested in an article on stupid guy revenge?”

“So you're looking for a stranger to go backpacking with you!

Hmmmm! Maybe it's your equipment. Did you mention that you carry an ax?”

“but its a very fine lighy weight titanium axe - that ought to score cool gear points at least”
