Here goes nothing...

“Hello all...

Lizs let me know that I had been slow to announce my presence to the esteemed members of TT. I guess I was waiting until at least some of the regulars knew that I was not a dreaded "Troll"...

I live in Northern California (Chico to be specific, home of Sierra Nevada Ales) and spend most of my hiking time in the Marble Mountains (43 days last season).

Lets see? I'm a single 35-year-old computer jockey/bar & restaurant manager, and would make an exceptional cabana boy. I used to be a professional whitewater rafting guide and enjoyed kayaking until I got too big for the little kayaks. I have been BPing for about 15 years.”

“Good afternoon. My name is baume 66.”

“Hi, it's lipstick hiker from ICQ. It's nice to see you posting. Welcome!”

“Welcome Steve, er,..Snails Pace!

Hope to get to talk to you again soon. Don`t let `em scare you off!”

“Hi again. It's OK if you're slow to introduce. After all, "snail's pace"................ WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE!! (was that Ted Nugent??)”

“Good point Lizs, there's no reason to get in a hurry about anything... even if I could...”

“lizs, I think that was Alice Cooper.”

“Snails Pace, I'm new here too...you can read all about my welcome on the "new...please help" thread. So maybe we can help each other out?! Either way, welcome! And good luck! It sounds like we're gonna need it!”

“Thanks, Dunk! My era, but I couldn't place it! :-)”

“Welcome! We sure can use another cabana boy around here. :o)”

“I thought you introduced yourself a while ago.”

“Tommy, I kind of did, but just to the folks that are planning the Desolation trip.”

“Welcome inside, S.P... ICQ notwithstanding, I'm glad to post with ya... oops... maybe I shount-a said that?”

“Snails Trace...did you ever run into a river guide named Dan who took folks down the American regularly?
I have a fond memory of a SN Pale Ale on the PCT above Packer Lake.
BTW...Welcome.”

“Dundan? did you ever hang out at the Coloma Club after hauling folks down the river? I worked for All Outdoors for a time and we staged most trips out of Coloma. That would have been in 1986 or 1987 though... Perhaps you've heard my story about sending a boat through the Tunnel Chute without me?”

“Wow!
Dunk is lurking...

Another would-be-cabana boy-wanna-be.

How much are you asking to rent your services?

I have an idea...”

“Lizs
That was Alice Cooper.

Welcome Snails Pace.”
