When I return dusty and tired from the t rail...

“Please let this site still be up and that all my favorite posters have not been banned for their truly human frailties. God I know I spelt that wrong but I am a little fevered knowing I must get up in 5 hours for the BIG adventure.

I will do my dance whilst at the highest point of the trail - watch out Steve - it may snow in the next two weeks - wishing you are all observing the terms of participation enough over the next two weeks. See you on the trail...talk!”

“I'll be here awaiting your triumphant return.

Either that or I'll be in the Canadian Rockies.

Happy trails”

“Navi - are you going to Winterfest this year?”

“I tried to bring up a thread discussing the terms of participation, but it got deleted.”

“No talking or discussing anything that you would discuss while hiking on the trail or sitting around a fire with your backpacking buddies. You know...BM's, T's and A's or anything of that nature. Thank the Trail Gods there are moderators on the trail. Can you imagine banned from the JMT, the AT, or the PCT for any number of conversations.”

“I have laughed my a@$ off going up hill when someone told me they were turtling. I am sure that is off topic here.”

“its sad really. This place had that wild wild west feel. Anything could happen. Now i think that is gone”

“don't you worry hyway - as an educated populace - I believe we can paraphrase any nasty ole thing that can get past the censor. The tricky part is any of us understanding the misdirection. Perhaps I will be banned because of this thread...and won't even know it because I will actually be backpacking for two weeks!”

“I think its going the way of Backpacker. Posts would disappear there left and right.”

“Sandy...you're gonna have a great time! Watch a sunrise for me. Stay safe kiddo.

hyway...I all but quit posting on the Backpacker site because of the over moderation, constant removal of threads and political correctness. I've spent a lot of time around campfires and if I can't speak in this forum like we do on the trail, I'm outa here too.

What made this site great was they let us say our piece. Very rarely was any thread removed or censored. I would hate to see it go the way of Backpacker.

In ending, I would like to say #&%!$ all of ya :-)”

“Sandy...Please work your magic. If we do get snow, I'll gladly cook dinner and breakfast for ya ;-)

I'll bring the Hot Damn too.

“Have fun, Sandyann. Do, please, dance the whole way from Happy Isles to Reds. We need the moisture.”

“We'll be on the lookout for the "Sandyann's BIG Adventure" report.  Have a good one!”

“More of us need to hit the trail!”
