“Michigan (troll/apple knocker) about 30 miles NW of Detroit...

I'm somewhat new here. Guess now is as good a time as any to jump in. So, Hi all!”

“Do we have montana, north/south dakota, kansas, west virginia, delaware, vermont and rhode island represented? If so, I think we've covered the entire US!”

“tarabull, welcome to the group. Is your name tarp rat. In the words of Saturday Night's Rosanadana, "nevermind".

wolfsister, welcome. I checked you info. I see you are in the construction trade. I used to do carpentry. It's a fulfilling job, especially if you can work on a job from beginning to end.

There are so many women joining tt lately, that I'm scared there won't be enough cabana boys to go around!”

“Well, my friend utahiker, my friend Dunadan will be sad his Kansas entry was missed.

Then again, he kind of danced around it and never really said it.

BUT then again, he wants to keep the state all to himself, too, so will just as likely go take a walk in the blooming spring prairie -- ALONE -- and rejoice.”

“T. 1 S., R. 3 E., G&SRB&M
Sec. 31: NW1/4NE14.”

“T. 1 S., R. 3 E., G&SRB&M

“Lizzy is blowing my cover again...”

“The butiful toxic waste dump state of NJ”

“Hey lipstick, its the most accurate description posted here.”

“Not to worry ldhiker, I'll find where you are. I'll have Obi Wan Canoli work on it with his handy GPS, lol.”

“Arkansas, Ouachita Mountains area.”

“trlhikr, where have you been?”

“awful busy. how you been? i'm working on a screw thread.”

“what are you doing up so early?”

“Alabama”

“Sorry there trlhikr, I never went to bed last night, I went fishing early this morning and just got back and saw your note.”

“What happened to Orbit? He is from AZ too. And Sage--was that her name--from the Tucson area I think.?”

“Northern California here, not to be confused with the rest of California...we are going to secede and form our own State, kinda like North and South Dakota, but different.”

“OmaHiker, Here I am. Been moving over to Yutan so I've keeping way too busy.”

“what are we going to do with all of this information? ?Anything?”

“I think you've been compiling, utahiker. good deal!

But I dunno. Phil had some ideas earlier.”

“Here's the deal. Phil is going to organize the Photo Page according to state. Right, Phil? In your spare time?
It might induce me to submit a pic, myself.”

“Michigan (midstate), the Great Lakes State, which includes the State of the Upper Peninsula! ;^ ) Hi Sunshine!”

“LMAO! Good morning, cow patty!

51st state?! Sh*t! We want to become our own country. Heikki Lunta will be president. Our flag will be purple and white in honor of St. Urho. Our national bird will be the misquito. Thimbleberry blossoms the national flower. Our primary export will be the pasty. Gee. Just what this planet needs, another third world country.

;o)”

“DUNADAN, sorry I missed your state while tabulating....how could I miss kansas...I've seen enough of it on my way to colorado and the west...believe me it's a L O N G drive from KC to the CO border. Actually...eastern CO feels like Kansas! And there's no excuse for not getting your pic to Phil!”

“Sunshine - One of my fraternity brothers was from Ishpeming(?). You would think the sun rose and set there. He seemed to prefer UP girls also, but I can't remember what he said his reason was (30 years ago).

Dunadan - Organize by state, huh? Not a bad idea, but not all 159 contributors are necessarily participating. I'll see how my "spare time" pans out.

I am hoping someone is making a list my state and will post it or email it to me.”

“CA in the valley(no not the Omuugawd,fer sherr valley)the central valley below Sacramento. We have wine makers here too.Hey Dunk you heading up to Peeler Lake?Thats my favorite area in the State I think.”

“lipstick hiker - I am knew to Trail Talk, so I don't know what a tarp rat is. So - ufortunately, I can't answer your question.”

“Ok...here goes
From: hot, humid South Louisiana.
Live in: wet, humid Washington (Mt Baker foothills)
Hey....the beer is much better here!”

“Upstate New York.”

“tarabull, it's an inside joke. Tarp Rat is a person here who likes to change his name often, so we never know when someone new turns up if it him, lol. Welcome.”

“Hi Tundra, nice to see you. I did the Baker River Trail a week ago. It was nice. When I saw all the moss, I knew it would never stop raining there, lol.”

“Liptick Hiker - Thanks for clearing that up. And, thanks for the welcome.”

“Hey Sunshine, when we came down here to the Cheese State we found out that the Northwoods get the same respect from Madison that the U.P. gets from Lansing. There is a fairly strong sentiment that Wisconsin above Highway 29 would join the U.P. in forming Superior, either as a state or new country, whichever gets the best federal aid package, LOL.

Official state brandy: E&J.
Official state holiday: Deer season(s).”

“I'm Northern California. So who has the totals - I thought a couple of folks were tabulating. Did the results get posted, or did I miss them?”

“I didn't read every single post, but I can't believe I don't see a Montana! Beautiful wide open space as far as the eye can see! Check us out!”

“oh...montana.......you are lucky.......”

“Welcome newgirl. Show us Montana through your eyes. Take some pictures and load them onto a picture site so we can look at them. What part of Montana do you come from? Tell us a little about yourself & your hiking/camping experience, married/single, your age, children, dog.”

“Sunshine, you can't leave. We won't let you.

Troll.”

“jvz, I love Peeler Lk, it's incredible watching a full moon rise over Crown Pt or watching the alpenglow on the Sawtooth Ridge. The whole area is awesome, broad, gentle Kerrick Canyon, Snow Lk, Crown Lk, Upper Piute Canyon...Heres some Pictures of the area.”
