every once in a while in your life you feel something special happening.
when i began this thread last july, it was meant to divert snarky comments off the other threads, limit the hijacking so that serious questions could get serious conflicting answers , a way to keep the nuts in the nuthouse more or less. but whats developed here is something extraordinary.we have a community that continues to grow, and we grow closer everyday.
i dont think i would be doing this right now if ozjacko hadnt sent me a pm asking about where to stay around ny, and when i offered my place, he responded with warmth and humility.at the same time, things at work were making me increasingly dissatisfied with my job, and finally came to a head last week, now ozjacko is allowing me to hitch a ride down south,bobbyjo has me hooked up at the lodge, my permit for gsnp done, and an opportunity to meet more of you in the next few months. i still plan on doing the maine trip, although ill have to shorten it to 2 weeks, so monson is still on, and i hope to meet even more of you.
we've learned so much about each other and i truly feel you are all family.thanks to everyone for all the support both for the cafe and for me.
this is something special

I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
TW, now that HB is gonna be there, Blaze and I will try to make it. Mrs. GB prolly won't be able to make the trip.

i expect the group will grow with the ebb and flow of the herd. its not realistic to think we'll be able to stay together for an extended period of time. but i think well all pretyy much stay within a day or two of each other after the first week or so. we'll be together, but its also important that individually we're still hiking our own hikes, so theres no feelings about holding someone back or having to push too hard to keep up. i also expect the trip will develop some notoriety and our "band of gypsies" will grow.
right now i hear my train a comin'
