While flipping through the Gear Issue again and wearing out my second credit
card ( I wore the first one out the first time I flipped through it), I
spotted an ad from a company named Garmin for a really neat piece of high
tech trivia...a cellular phone with a built in GPS! Wow, neat! Now we can
break the list rules twice in one sentence I thought, then John posted his
plea for no more gear talk before he leaves. I can't resist, hold me back!
Maybe I should scan the page and e-mail it to him!

...and I'm not talking about Solar Bear and his tutu...
[not much obligatory AT content, just another perspective :-) ]
I do a lot of dancing and there are quite a few male contra dancers who
wear skirts because they are cooler than pants or shorts. They are not
in drag. They are not trying to look feminine. They are just trying to
stay cool.
With the exception of Scottish dancing with men in kilts (which are too
heavy to be cool), I haven't seen this in any other dance circles, just
contras.
YMMV.
27 days and counting...

I'm still waiting for the e-mail?????????????????????????????????
Of course I wouldn't buy it. Though it might be nice to find out what
others maybe buying today. I just took 6 will power tabs so its safe to
look at the catalogs that came in the mail today.

It is VERY cool in Scotland, even in a heavy wool kilt. I was in Nova Scotia
last July for the Gathering of the Clans. I froze my you know what off.

I'm glad to hear that another enterprise is willing and eager to have hikers
welcome. Laurel Creek Lodge really got quite a bad reputation last year for
its shoddy service, surly management and high prices. However, i have to go
with Slyman and Magaroni on this one about Kincorra. Bob and Pat were
magnificent.
We also shared a meal with them and for an extra optional donation, Bob and
Pat gave us a barbecue with burgers and dogs and potato salad and watermelon
and AND AND AND! It was great and came on a personally difficult day due to
some difficult news from back home. It was clean and friendly and they
accommodated our shuttle needs handily. It was also my last hostel stop
before
i made the decision to become a section hiker. My memories are bittersweet
about that last week on the AT last May but i cannot say enough about Bob
and
Pat.
Another thing is that if you were hurt: emotionally or physically, you were
allowed to stay a little extra longer. I remember they INSISTED that Joyful
Girl (remember her? she got hit by a falling tree in a lightning storm and
it
bent her external pack to pieces) stay the week with them to recuperate.
Now where is my exit picture from the end of my first year's section hike? I
think i owe the Peoples a picture! <G>

Now THIS i surely don't understand. A thru-hiker NOT talking about food in
their journal? Poppycock! (Hmmmm....isn't that a caramel popcorn
concoction?)

Check the trailcrew info at the ATC site

Konnarock crew is based in southern VA, and there are often several crews
out at once.
