Car Camping in Hillbilly Land

“What a chuckle-filled romp through El Camino Land! Goodness, gojo I certainly hope that after the good ol' boys at the Cheaha Wilderness got you all liquored up they didn't try to take advantage of you. And I hope for ALL of our sakes you didn't try to DRIVE, drunken bastard!”

“Hey Doc, all of the hillbillys at car camping had your nude photos pasted all over their campers”

“Hmmmmm.....nude photos, oh NO!

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Hillbilly?

None of this should taken too seriously.

I feel comfortable with just about anyone.....except for the Evil Dr Laura!

The only things I fear are comb-overs, carnies, and crabs.”

“Hey Tom, have you ever seen a comb-over mullet? It is really scary - I saw one in a bowling alley once.”

“TrailBuddy - Did you say you saw the Clintons? I didn't know Hill and Billy were into car camping!”

“Now THAT'S good!”

“Thanks, Beave!”

“Bubba was there, he was the life of the party, however, Hillary wasn't there, Bubba was with Daisy from the Dukes of Hazzard show. i think he got the hook up!”

“Went to "Matt's" last night to return an anchor I had borrowed and to throw back a few Natural Lites. His wife had prepared a YUMBLICIOUS dinner of pork chops and gravy, mashed potatos, okra, black-eyed peas, and cornbread.

DAY-YAM!
...now them was some groceries!


D'oh!
I just remembered that he gave me three bass he had caught, but I left them on his porch!
(I imagine some ol' coon got reeeel lucky last night)”

“null”

“Hillbillies are cool!”

“I have never car camped and never will

8|”

“if you feel that you are in anyway better off or seperate from others, you are a bigot and an ignoramus. Your "hillbilly" buddies probably thought you were and elitist @sshole, or maybe, just maybe they thought you were pretty cool, but wondered what was up your butt and why you couldn;t loosen up and have fun, but you were too busy looking down at the coleman stuff...not everyone is so into the gear mentality...its not the stuff, not the destination...its the journey, but you were too hung up on labels to appreciate the moment...too bad...you loose.”

“It's not that at all I just don't like car camping.

I do have that right don't I?

8|”

“.........I also dislike Day hiking,atv's,horses,Mnt bikes,jeeps.Dirt bikes,snowmobiles.

I don't hate anyone or anything.

I just dislike.

8|

I have that right!”

“No you don't!”

“You dislike dayhiking??? How can anyone dislike ANY form of hiking?

It's crazy Buddur....8)”

“You already are a hillbilly Steve Hiker. We have the photo to prove it. LOL”

“LOL,.. Tell him Tom!

What ever rights you think you got, you`d best keep those with that list and keep all that to yourself if you find yourself off in hillbilly land. If not you`ll find yourself tied to a tree making wild animal noises and YOU, that night`s bit of fun.

Mike,.. the real crazy ones don`t tell anyone, they keep that a secret along with where the bodies are burried.LOL

Learn how to get along in hillbilly land, or keep the hell out! And first off, I wouldn`t go around calling `em a hillbilly, was I you!

Y`all come see us, down here?LOL”

“I used to work at Cabelas for a while. While I was there, I was exposed to many different folks who just can't grasp the concept of walking more than 100 yards to go anywhere. Hey, did you folks know that the toothbrush was invented in hillbilly land? It's true! If it would've been invented anywhere else, it would've been called the teethbrush...”

“The concept that if you can't enjoy the backwoods in a hardcore "hike to live, live to hike" way, you might as well not do it, is a narrow way live. There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors and I'm glad that car campers get the chance to enjoy it in there own way rather than not at all.”

“Kansas=Car Campers Paradise. If folks can't get within two feet of their campsite with their vehicle in this state, they stay home.”

“As long as you get away from town, work, the yard, the TV, who cares whether you sleep in your car? When I was in college I finished cement in the summers. My foreman used to go out on a bender most nights after work. When we'd show up at the job site early the next morning ,there he was-- Car Camping! I think he camped out more than any of us! I wonder if he's still alive today?

Sometimes we get to the trailhead after dark and sleep in, or near, the car! The only car campers that piss me off are the ones who run their Honda generators all night so they can watch TV, or, let their kids run all over the campgrounds on their minibikes.”

“I was at Smokmont 2yrs ago in winter had the place almost to ourselves. Its common ground where on occassion backpackers, RV'ers, minivaner's, weekender's, budding families, etc can all come together and share in natures splendor.

Now what kind of car camping are we talking about. The spending the night in a pay campground, type or the type where you're crashing out off of F.S. roads like you can in the Rockies.

You can putz around for days on some of those FS roads out west. Cover more ground, dayhiking to points of interest. Spent the night in a different spot every night.

Car campin' ain't all that bad. I see it more as a staging area. So I can aclimate if needed and prep for overnighters. One last good meal before you hit the trail.

I lived in my truck for close to 4 months touring and working in the western states. Bought my Gold Pass in the Badlands and hit every backroad from there to the O.P. I regret not hitting up Glacier in MT. on my way thru. Then from the O.P. I headed south, Zig Zaggin my down to the L.A. basin. Where I worked for some time.

I got a stack of NPS pamphelts and a boat load of pic's and memories from that road trip.”

“mini-bikes and mullets........almost heaven”

“Car camping = base camp.







If I'm oudoors, I'm happy. I don't care how I got there.”

“I can see we are going to have to purify the posters on this site.”

“Aw the memories of wilderness, I remember on the second peaceful night. The call of the wildlife
"THUMPER" pause "TO GET F*CKED UP!"
It brought a tear to my eye!

The only time to fear a hillbilly is when he says you have a purdy mouth”

“Big Foot is right. People do not say "hillbilly" anymore. The preferred term is "bumpkin".”

“I stand where I am therefor I stand!

“I get along with everyone I am just saying that I DO NOT LIKE CAR CAMPING THATS ALL!!!!!!!

Thats it!

Just becuase I don't like to car camp that means I hate people that is the bigest pile of %^&* I have ever herd!

And I am crazy?”

“It's ok crazy mike - someday you might be married with children and you may discover the joys of car camping. Not saying that you/they won't go backpacking, but you might carcamp a coupla times, just because.”

“Your being crazy sounds more like a self-proclaimed designation. Maybe a phychologist told you that at one time and now you believe it. But I've come across some looney people by tagging along with a psychologist friend who works for a community services organization. These people can't even cope with society. I knew and befriended a bipolar person who use to live in the same apartment building, and I've never met anyone who could be so overjoyously happy one minute then so depressed the next day...for no apparent reason. And the drugs this dood was being given was incredible. This dood threw out EVERYTHING he owned during one episode while I knew him. None of these people would even come close to admitting they were crazy, as a matter of fact, they thought everyone else waas a little off their rocker. I'll bet you are much saner than you give yourself credit for.”

“The old "Catch 22".”

“"hillbilly; (often disparaging) a person from a backwoods area, especially from the mountains of the southern US"

Precisely my point, Oh crap I agreed with Tom T.

As a hillbilly from east KY appalacian Mts. I take exception to anything within the state of OH being considered hillbilly, white trash, OK, but not hillbilly.”

“True, true.....
Folks in Ohio are just them what couldn't make it in the mountain states........flatlanders.”

“'Hillbilly' has fallen out of general use in favor of 'redneck'. Rednecks aren't tied to any specific geographical region but they usually do have tobacco spit dripping off of their chins and a pistol in their pockets.

And they LOVE "wrastlin'"!”

“Simple people of all kinds are attracted to wrasslin'.”

“Hick is a good, all purpose, derogatory term generally connoting rural dwellers but not necessarily tied to any one geographical region.”

“We have a bunch of backwoods hicks in Montana. We call them the State Lesislature.”

“...uh, and the ones that can spell call it the Legislature”

“If there was a way to combine NASCAR and Wrastlin'...

Look Out.

I guess that's what NASCAR is... Wrastlin' with cars: like a demolition derby only faster.


These remarks are not meant to be derogatory. They're simply observations, and believe me I've seen them more than twice, *G*.”

“embrace your inner redneck!

50,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong! Everyone has a little bit of Elvis in em', except the evil anti-elvis!”

“When I was in Boone, NC this summer I read an article about this family that were local storytellers. The family had lived in the mountains for generations. There last name was Hicks. I finally decided that it was possible that the term could have come from very early descendants.”

“you clean-up after supper with a
"disheswasher"?”

“What was DUCKMAN's nemisis? That huge evil chicken with the greasy sideburns??

KING CHICKEN!! (sorry, no jpeg)


This Just In...

"Yo momma's arm pits are so hairy, she looks like she's got Don King in a headlock."”

“i prefer packin to car campin but car campin ain't that bad. sometimes in the summer i take my canoe to a campground and car camp fri night then get a ride up the river and float back down to the car where i usually camp again on saturday. i have to admit it can get a little boring if the canoe trip ends too early. not too much to do besides drink. wait a minute, did i say boring?”

“As a card-carrying hillbilly I do have a pistol in my pocket. You thought I was just glad to see ya huh?”

“LMAO

8)

As far as being crazy well it's not in the head is my free sprit and the way I live life that makes me seem crazy sometimes.Not a bad crazy but a fun one.”

“Then he said, "Just don't let 'em be puttin' that little red badge o' courage on You."

An' I said, "HELL no."”
