Newbie

“Hi,
My name is Sami and I'm looking for a trail in West Virginia that would be good for a weekend trip and a first timer, like me. I'm anxious and ready to go, but I know I need to be mentally prepared. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks everybody,
SamiRaeLynn”

“How old are you, SS, er, Sami.”

“Damn it, bear. I'm not this 'person'.”

“If I was going to do a troll, I would do it RIGHT. Nothing so simple as this.

I'm going to do one in the future and both of y'all will fall for it. LOL”

“OK. So, baby, got any pics?”

“Damn, I just missed being the first to ask for pics!


Well, if it couldn't be me, at least it was bearmagnet.”

“Sorry Bit, I waited as long as I could. Ban SS!”

“why are we (well more you all) hard on newbies?

welcome to TT. I wish I could help you out but im in another state.

ps, you may want to post a pic this way the horndogs will leave you alone!

“D.O.R.K. is so silly. ;-)”

“This thread is loaded with causes to issue a troll alert. There's not a non-troll in this string above my post.”

“I rest my case.
bear IS the biggest troll to ever troll this troll full troll board.
well besides sarge.”

“Damn mapes is being harsh. we are slowly gaining the trust of our feral kitties. You want one?”

“you are? i am very happy to hear that :)

good for you for being a kind hearted person (your still a troll)

no cats for me. i have my hands full already!”

“Well I guess since they were born in the wild streets of DC they are not so feral, eh?

You may think I'm a troll but at least my back is dry.”

“Dry weather hiker?”

“your back is dry?
LMAO what the hell does that mean?”

“Never mind. :p


Hey Hot newbie Troll - I used Falcon Guide for WV. Don't know much but Otter Creek Wilderness was nice in Monogo........Manonag............Monohga...........in The Mon.

Trails aren't well marked, how are you with a compass?”

“Welcome newbie...ignore the man behind the curtain.

There is a pretty good beginner section linked the another page on this site.

“I think DORK scared the newbie away.”

“We probably scare a lot of people away! Some of them may be nice to hike with.”

“well assuming he/she is not a troll she/he would be welcome to come on the Blackwater Falls trip - its next weekend meet Friday at campsite near intersection of CLR and Davis Tr. but she/he will need to sign up soon or I may just cancel the trip due to lack of interest.

This hike will not be too much of a butt kicker so it may be OK for a beginner.

“Its okay that you all are hard on me...no biggie. but anyway, I'm 20. And I did read the begginner page. It was very helpful. I'm actually from Ohio but I was going to be traveling to WV so I thought itd be a perfect opp to hike. Oh yeah... and if you are so thrilled to see pics you'll find me on myspace.

“Are you dating Boris Becker?”

“WK - a 20 yo isn't going to know who Boris Becker is. You're dating yourself WK.

It still baffles me why folks are jerks to the newbies. I didn't get this treatment when I showed up 5 1/2 years ago.

Welcome aboard Sami”

“If she plays tennis she will.”

“WAIT...who was incharge of newbie introductions when Day came in....? Now do we get to properly introduce her? I thought newbie harassment was a normal activity.”

“See here. This is the trip I was talking about Sami. Ms. Doolittle is roundabout the Columbus area.

“lots of good trails in West Virginia. You might enjoy checking out Dolly Sods.”

“aha! that picture is definitely not me. The first scary one, or the second one. okay, i'll figure out how and post one. Thanks Wounded Knee.. I'll keep that date open. Know for a picture... it may take me a bit. but just hold your trousers...”

“

Hey Sami. How you doin'?”

“oh no! its huge! aha!”

“Post something about trailtalk on your blog. Then we'll at least know it's your MySpace page.”

“I definatel recommend the Dolly Sods. Cool scenery, nice views, nice campsites and easy to moderate hiking.

It's ok to be green.

“PS, love your nose.


No, not yours, ENS.”

“I couldn't find Sami on myspace so assumed she was a troll. Hot young newbie babes are too good to believe. Come on here saying you are a bald overweight 50-something and we'll welcome you as one of our own.

Where did NS get that picture anyway? Too funny.”

“picture reminds me a bit of newgirl”

“Thanks ENS, I'll look into it. I may be heading to WV sooner than I think. But yes, the bandana picture is me. my myspace page is: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=22401585


if any of you would like to check it out! :)”
