“Mayber she was so endangered she went extinect.”

“still waiting for the corrected website...”

“Sorry Broken, no offence but you seem a little too young for me.”

“Just because getting a tattoo is the crowning moment of his life does not mean he is too young.”

“He has a tattoo? Cool, I got a new one last week, on my tummy just bellow my belly button (that is pierced btw) that is a gecko.”

“See, you guys have so much in common, and you dissed the poor guy!”

“troll!”

Just kidding about the troll thing (somebody had to start it)”

“This one's very suspicious.”

“yeah, let's wait for his answers...”

“btw: are you from woodbridge, VA???

“Wow a Troll that actually checked to see if there was already an existing "I'm new" thread. How mysterious. Welcome to the funny farm!

“That and the person has not responded to several questions.

Hey don't be afraid. We don't bite, at least most of us.

Head over Sacco's tap and drag your bones up to the bar, I am buying!”

“oh be nice...
don't think he's a troll. just knows what he's doing.”

“He's signed up for the Jan. MD trip.”

“Look at his profile.
Suprise!
It's filled out with real info.

Many boards have established "New person" threads and ask people to use them.
The fact that he knows how to use a search feature simply means that he knows how to use the web.

Some people don't sit there during working hours and hit refresh every second to see who responds.”

“You mean me pack?”

“Welcome new person.”

“No just a general observation.
Not trying to bang on anyone in particular.

The constant troll commentary when new folks post has become a pet peeve of mine.”

“To troll or not to troll,
to suffer the slings and arrows of tters, and insulting comments, lol.”

“hey every thanks for making me feel so welcomed......gemini i live in dalecity off of forestdale.....and no thats not me its my Dad.....im in 1 of the pics with a blue bandana on my head.....Bison you need to get out more...LOL......I will just tell you all about me...IM 41 divorced...i live in prince william county and work for arlington the lasted 22 yrs......I like to hike,bike and ride my harley......”

“novatrek, I didn't hike as much either when I got my Yamaha Virgo motorcycle. You ride around on that thing all day long and it's like not ever getting off the couch, lol, very bad for the waistline.”

“very very bad.....i need to get back on my bicycle too.....now that its cold i will not be on the motorcycle as much and winter hiking and camping is a lot of fun.....im just looking for some good people to do it with.”

“novatrek, I can ride year round here in WA. I have heated hand grips, and I wear one of those knit face masks.

I've found a lot of great people here to hike/camp with from my area. Maybe you will find someone here from your neck of the woods. Lots of people here travel many miles to meet each other to hike and camp.”

“LNSTR74 you are right.....i belong to lots so i just looked for the newbie thread....the format here is a little different than what im use to........


lipstick i just got heated gloves and im looking at the vest.....it does seem like there are a lot of people from the DC area here.”

“i work nights and it seems like when im off everyone else is working....any one here work 12hrs shifts work 4 days off 4 days”

“novatrek, I'm in WA state. That's why I can ride year round. I may get a few flakes of snow in the winter.”

“"it does seem like there are a lot of people from the DC area here.”

Beware the BearMagnet. Trouble follows that one like Pig Pen's cloud of dust. LOL!

Welcome from Ohio!”

“nove I work 16 hour shifts with 8 hour shifts in between each of those days sometimes....UGH It gets to much lol”

“what is your favorite color...and If you use trekking poles, your evil.

and evil shall be vanquished! (or not).”

“welcome Novatrek!”

“Welcome novatrek. I've been working the 7p-7a shift for decades. That's why I look older than my 29 years;) But hey, someone's gotta do it.”

“WElcome to the madness.....
the real question is....

do you like older women????

wow backpacks AND has a Harley!!!”

“You gals forgot to ask Novatrek to post pictures of himself!!! LOL....


Oh, I forgot...he needs to post "Hot" pictures of himself.. and to answer whether or not he has any brothers.... for the single gals out there!
