There is an irony here. In my last post to ATML before my hike, which turned out to
be my last post ever to ATML, I said that I would have no journal on 'Trailplace'
because my journal would not be what Wingfoot would want. (I just got a crazy idea.
Here is my last post before I left. Funny thing is...I still feel about the same
way about things.):  (from 8/1/98)

Pittsburgh will be here in about an hour. I thought about going to get
some new glasses in that time, but no. I've had all kinds of things I
wanted to say. There isn't time, or probably reason, to do so now. I'll
just say, in one last cross-post, smile once in a while. My reason for
going hiking isn't as romantic as a lot of folks'. I'm not going to find
myself, or someone else. I'm not going, and will not do anything, because
of what someone else will think. I'm "hiking my own hike" to beat a
boring frase into deeper death. I'm gonna laugh. I'm gonna make others
laugh. I'm gonna meet people. I'm going hiking BECAUSE I LIKE TO HIKE.

Stoat will be joining me on Labor Day. He has too many things going on.
It is unfortunate. Not the end of the world.

Well, thats it for now. I'll be posting something somewhere from time to
thyme. As I'm sure Wingfoot, in his effort to make the ATML 'hike only',
won't want my pseudo-journal posted, I am posting something to AT-L and
perhaps on a webpage to be named later. Any ATML-only members who want to
get the 'journal' may want to join AT-L, or make contacts to have them
forwarded. Same low rate. (You see, my journal will probably be the least
hike-related journal in the history of hike related-journals)

Goodnight, Mrs. Purtlebaugh. I love you.

END of POST...

Wingfoot responded with something blasting me for putting down his list and went on
to tell us all how much time and money he has put into the Trail. blah blah
blah...then, he bought me breakfast in Hot Springs...

dang, my arm itches.
