I hike for myself and nobody else and i don't brag, i will be keeping my photo's to myself. why is it so important to show my pic's to 10,000 other people. if you want to see the top of Katahdan so badly why don't you take a hike and see for youself instead of living through someone elses photo's. Happy Hiking. RED-DOG
He asked a unnecessary question and got a unnecessary replie.
Red Dog expresses the feelings of many hikers on the AT. I recall meeting up with "Lint" near Clingmans Dome in early May-2010 on one of his thru hikes. I asked him if he kept a Trail Journal online, he said no, he said he thinks there's too many online Trail Journals. It can get to be like an AT "Facebook/Dear Diary" type online forum with a large volume of hour by hour details about who said what, where we ate, where we took a crap, what we had for lunch... blah blah blah.
I'm not criticizing anyone who keeps an online Journal, i enjoy reading many of them as much as anyone. But there are many who prefer not to add to that forum, and just share their photos and thoughts with friends and family. Happy hiking.
go on a sunny day!
and advertize your guidebook. they sent you a king-size snicker bar and a can of sardines too.
my guess is you are excited and almost there. have a safe rest of trip.
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
Thanks praha4 thats how i feel about it.RED-DOG
I'm glad NASA didn't take that "no photo's for you" stance during the Mars Rover mission.....
I agree with SCGamecock.

I enjoy shareing pics. I think it's one of WBs top features. Come on who doesn't like looking at places you've been in another season, or walking up on someone you've become acquainted with here. Or looking thru a specific section thru real photos instead of reading facts in the guide book. Hey Spokes needs a category just for his avatars! Oh wait, that's a different web site.
i know he was looking for people ahead of him that summitted, as he is on the trail, but when his thread was called unnecessary i had to post. . maybe hes a little down and wants to cheer up. i wish him the best on his hike.
that pic was taken for Attroll and AWOL for their AT Pages site. i think if we start policing the "unnecessary threads" we should start with the "dueling iphones"

i cant think of anything more inspiring than seeing the joy of those who areacheiving their goals and dreams.i want to share in that joy.
Seems pretty silly that anyone would come on, and become a member of a social network site, and then deny another the same privilege they enjoy. I really don't get that. I just posted for the first time today/lastnight some pics in my gallery that put a face to the name rocketsocks, and should I summit anything, I'll post that too.
Rocket. Your a dog? No way.Originally Posted by rocketsocks:1310918
I feel like a person has EARNED bragging rights for hiking the entire trail.... BRAG ON and yesh, I like seeing the pics as well.

Here is mine.
Was browsing the 2012 forum when I saw this subject, and the number of replies and thought "Ooh this looks great to click and see a bunch of happy people having already achieved their goal this year as an inspiration to myself hopefully next year". Instead, I click and see Red-Dog completely crapping on an actual 2012 hiker's good idea for an exciting topic. I decided to stop lurking these forums and make my first post just to call you a jerk and a bully, Red-Dog, at least for this particular "contribution". You're almost there fireneck! Looking forward to your picture.
