MDSHiker is changing his TT name !

“Hi everyone...most of you probably don't know that I've been section hiking the AT for about 5 yrs now. I've made it from Springer Mtn to the entrance of Shenandoah NP. On the trail, everyone calls me "Stew". I've changed my TT name to Stew since MDSHiker is not a good handle. I started using MDSHiker a loooong time ago in the early 1990's when I first got online. (jeez, I'm getting old)

In a few weeks I'll be back on the AT knocking out another 130 miles. So, this seems to be a good time to switch TT names.

TT'ers Rock !”

“This is gonna be tough to get used to. I think I'll have to stew on it a bit.

Have fun in SNP.”

“Damn you, DH, beat me to the punch, lol.”

“let me know if you need any shuttling in SNP Stew”

“So where are you ending this time around? I'm guessing southern PA around Pine Grove?”

“Kewl. Maybe I will see you out there!”

“Yep. Got to keep the Feds off-balance....”

“130 miles from Rockfish Gap doesn't even get one to WV on the AT techntrek - my guess is Ashby Gap or possibly the Bear's Den Hostel”

“Hiya Stew! :-D”

“Good name! Thanks for puting a note in your bio, for those of us that forget easily. ;)”

“I always think of Shenandoah as being much shorter than it really is. (grin)”

“Does this mean I have to hike with you again to put you down on my list of TT'ers I have met? lol.... speaking of that, let's put together another Elk River trip pretty soon.”

“Ok, I pulled out my Thru-Hiker's Companion and yes, US 50 @ Ashby Gap is about 130 miles north and would allow for a pickup.

Pine Grove is another 113 miles north of that!”

“I like Stew...I think it fits actually...easier to say....I give my permission for you to use it ;-)

Have fun on the trail...be safe!”

“I guess we need Dub to make an appearance on the thread and dub thee 'Stew'....”

“WOOT! Stew!”

“Getting "stewed" will cause one to wonder.”

“Wooo Hooo.....a good name I think!!!!!

....happy hiking!!!”

“:-o

!!

:-)”

“going to be a little confusing however when Stew and 'stu go on the same TT hike”

“Hey. That's Stew-pid. Just kidding. Have a good time hiking, Stew!”

“hi, stew”

“Stew, this is stove, stove this is stew.”

“I'll have to cross your name out on my photo files and update or get all confused. Beavs went backpacking with me last weekend and now she's "firebeaver" she would not quit playing with the firewood and flames! Lets go back to the Elk river again!”

“I'm not going to say a thing.”

“LOL”

“Stew is just trolling around.”

“LOL

Ya'll are too funny!

Where's Dub when ya need him ?”

“Hey Stew!”

“As in Beef? or Vegatable?”

“i want to know the story on this. Can we call you stewie like on Family Guy? lol”

“this will be hard to get used to!

i don't think there is much of a story to the name!

hey STEW please send us your address so that we can mail you your trekking poll. or if you want next time i'm in town i'll meet you somewhere with it.”
