The 5 o'clock Rapture

“all day long this board blows up with posts...soon as I get home where I can actually post rather than just read...everybody disappears...wtf? do I stink?”

“I'm here sweety. Post away! LOL!”

“seriously...its like the rapture. nothing moves....”

“seeee...I guess this isn't the first time I've missed it..
”

“LOL! I know what you mean Nigal once called it the 5:00 exodus. They are both fitting.
These christians sure are a leaving bunch huh?”

“you hear that echo?”

“So tell me GNM, If I were to get down tennessee, or carolina way where are the best hikin spots? I hear linville gorge is pretty steep and deep. You got a fav?”

“In NC...Panthertown Valley area near Highlands is my preferred. Not as busy as the Gorge.”

“how big is it? can you do two or three 15 mile days there?”

“somebody say sumthin?”

“nobody here but us chickens”

“It's 7:30! You can all come out now, she's here.”

“That reminds me of that fake Darwin Award.... Remember the one about the guy who was taking a bunch of blow-up dolls filled with helium to the batchelor party?”

“Trails in P-town aren't as well developed..investing in the Slickrock map is a good idea...more rustic hiking in my opinion. I just like it better because its not so crowded.

“look at all y'all. this reminds me of when the munchkins are all hiding in the bushes..then poof one by one they start stickin their heads out. Y'all kin to the Lollipop Guild?”

“Savage Gulf would keep you busy, and then move south about 20 miles to the Firey Gizzard

Tracy Tennessee Just North of Chattanooga”

“heh, heh.....all y'all........”

“Hey ST, what park is that in?”

“or the AT”

“I heard that was a little short for a whole weekend GNM”

“slacker!”

“Cumberland Plateau.......

South Cumberland state park:

“That loud sucking noise isn't American jobs moving to Mexico. It's the sound of Trail Talk emptying out of the corporate time thieves known as Regulars.

Everyone complains about how bad the economy is yet they steal time from their employers like it was ink pens and post-it-notes. No wonder China is kicking our asses.”

“Pipe down, chorus boy!”

“I didn't even have my pipe up. Haha!”

“It's annoying, come five and the place is dead for a couple of hours.”

“you can near bout hear crickets chirping...or maybe that was Nigal perfecting his Z snap..not sure.

“We do have people on different shifts but sometimes the folks on Mountain Time and Pacific Time are slack........ LOL”

“or maybe that was Nigal perfecting his Z snap..not sure.

Oh no you dit'int!”

“Tilt, you are referring to the lady who saw the blow up dolls floating away and thought that it was the Rapture so she jumped out of a moving car to join them? Bad idea.”

“Slacker reporting for duty, SIR!”

“Well Sure!   Now that it's almost Friday ----- LOL

That's the one Lyndy!   They were allegedly under a tarp in the back of the guy's pickup, but they began to escape.....   The woman in a following vehicle allegedly saw them floating up into the sky, and, thinking The Rapture had begun, let go of her steering wheel and climbed out through the sunroof of her moving vehicle (with disastrous results).

“Mason Williams is a great guitar player.”

“He's done all sorts of peculiar things.

Remember "The Bus Book"?”

“It is annoying - 5 for most of yall is only 3 for me.”

“I think Euro's been out raising hell for 3 or 4 hours already.....”

“she is the wild child....”

“meangreen, panthertown is NOT a buttkicker type of place. Its barely a backpacking place, its more a hike in and base camp type of place. But it has beautiful views and nice waterfalls.

“I want to use East Coast time for quitting time today. OK with all of you”

“Okay everybody, GnM is here! Hide!


(E-bay ack-bay at even-say o'clock-a)”

“run for cover!”

“Thanks for the pics Hyway. Those are great! Looks like someone was having a good time in the waterfalls. For a second there I thought that was creation falls in RRG but I know it's not.”

“Oh blessed be that glorious time when we can freely post upon this thread.

Let us not shirk away from our divine destiny to be continual purveyors of such material as may cause lesser people to cringe.

This, this is the time and the place.....let it fly brothers and sisters...make this place come alive with such posts as will cause even the non believers to know that backpackers are inherently able to say what most others are incapable of thinking.

Somebody say amen.”

“Amen bro! AMEN!”

“anybody been left behind besides me?”

“nope your on your own babe.”

“I'm not here either.”

“peek a boo....I see you.”

“Not time for the rapture on the west coast. I'm still here.”
