    Default The REAL reason for the Mayan calendar scare:

    As I live, declares the Lord God, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn back from his way and live. Ezekiel 33:11

    I wonder why they didn't predict their own demise.

    Because they were too busy playing the slots in the Mayan Casino.

    Will Hover boards be allowed on the AT? and will that be concidered cheating?
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I won't be retiring until at least 2017 and the first chance to thru-hike if I have the knees. I wonder how many people are making decisions based on this nonsence.

    I'll be doing my next thru post '12 so, it can't end - no one should worry - I have officially delayed it - but global warming and climate change might allow me to do a winter 2015 thru hike in shorts and a t-shirt - not kidding so much.

    Because the smallpox, influenza, and measles served with the jesus burgers where on the menu they didn't read, not the calendar.
    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.

    Not if you still walk and pull the hover board behind you with your pack on it.

    I'm going to invent a hover board sleeping pad for use inside the shelter. The hover board food hanger with mouse baffle is sold separately.

    The Maya are still there. Their civilization collapsed long before any of the above arrived.

    I'm with ya Freedom Walker. Retired a couple of years ago and having to work part-time to get my son thru college. Doing a thru hike has always been a dream of mine. Well at this rate I will be 60 (3.5 more years) and will finally be able to attempt my dream. Oh Well ! Will just have to keep on training, hiking and dreaming. See ya on the trail.

    Archaeologists always say this stuff is ceremonial or religious if they don't know what it means. I say cave paintings are graffitti that really say things like "Running deer wears army boots" or "for a good time use Axotl brands condoms" The Mayan disk calendar is a decorator item commissioned by the kings wife who needed a 3' round calendar for the foyer. Everything not current is merely filler to make up the wheel. The world has been predicted to end at least 3 times in my lifetime I recommend fishing instead of worry.
