What happens when you put a lawyer, an ivy grad, and a city chick on the AT?

I don't know any locals that call their town Rehomo Beach. Only some tourist call it that. And you spelled my towns name wrong. It's not Rehobeth, it's Rehoboth. Also, I wonder how you would know that the gay males here are high and what level of highness they are? Another thing, you failed to mention we have many lesbians here.
One more thing, you might want to inform folks that just about every beach resort on the east coast has a gay community in it.

worded poorly as usual. by high i meant large portion.

I know more about rehoboth than the average tourist. My Father lived there year round for years. I live in OC MD and had a gay room mate for years. While every beach town has a gay community in it, rehoboth is know for being more tolerant and open and having a much higher concentration of gays. In rehoboth you have one major road running down the center of a small town. where it meets the board walk they have this store.


Sorry for the thread jack.

Nope.

Enjoyed meeting Lightning (Covetree) at Trail Days. She seemed a nice young lady who (tragically) didn't force her way into my tent.

I hope they're continuing to do well on the trail.

Don't knock Rehoboth Beach.

and why exactly is pointing out that there's a gay community somehow "knocking" it?

hey guess what! there's gay people everywhere!...being gay, it's not just for the beach anymore

Their sphere of influence is as big as you want it to be.

Hike ahead or behind them and they don't "exist".

Finally-I'm glad this was said about them! Its their hike, they are on the AT each day doing it their way (within reason), and thus its their time, so let them HYOH!

.....The guy in the first video looks as if he could be gay....

So, he's happy and having fun, big deal.

Maybe Metro-Male--



A good-looking, fashionable young man who pays special attention to style and taste who displays the levels of care and pride in their appearance which is usually associated with women; but who are not deemed to be homo-sexual and are secure in their masculinity.

Not that it really matters. K2

My first point I asked what happened to their tent? why didnt they have a tent? was it damaged?

[Mags]

Rockaway Beach by the Ramones is great little song.

Nothing to do with this thread at all.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks.

[russb]

You are right Mags. But the song i was reminded of while reading this was Bob Dylan's "Idiot Wind" http://www.pandora.com/music/song/bob+dylan/idiot+wind

[Johnny Thunder]

I like the Ramones but they remind me of Zombies.

Wow, cant believe so many people feel the need to hate on people they've never met. You would think that on a hiker forum on a hiker website people would be supportive of other hikers or at least not bash people they dont know. Sure they have put themselves out in the open but i find it sad that people are picking apart every word they have typed to pass judgement. If i was to make judgement upon people solely on what i saw they typed on the internet than i would be passing the judgement that the people on here who posted personal negative things about people they dont know are self absorbed tools with no life. These three hikers are very fun to be around and are going to make it to maine and i am sure of this because i have met them.

Kid, looks like you got the hate thing down. Welcome to WB!

[Johnny Thunder]

yeah, i realize you want to defend your friends...but couldn't you just leave it at zombies?

[Lagging Behind]

All these arguments seem very cyclical. People reading the hikers blog pass judgement on them and then people who know the hikers defend them and pass judgement on the people reading the hikers blog who pass judgement on the hikers, then the people reading the hikers blog who pass judgement on the hikers defend other people passing judgement on the hikers and pass judgement on the people who know the hikers... yada yada yada

Anyone have any thoughts as to why the AT lacks a minority population?

This has been discussed in WB thread before. Here's one such thread. You can find others using WB's search feature - just type in "minorities."

I believe Ringleader was looking for folks to comment on the blog entry, though I could be wrong.

Anyone see the newest video blog post?

She talks about the trail like it is the same as walking to the corner grocery store...

I was going to be critical about that video, but you know what? She'll find out what the trail is really like when she hikes it- maybe she'll be right, who knows? Cut her some slack and let her figure it all out. Everyone hikes for a different reason, and LOTS of people are changed by their hike, even if they don't realize it at first.
