Who Have You Met??

“Well, Mother Goose and I had a most congenial supper with Mr. and Mrs. bitpusher this evening and I have bp'd with katibug and searcher. Next weekend I look forward to swilling margaritas with chili36 at the Pink Pony. It's a good life, if you don't tire!”

“I have not had the honor of meeting Phil yet. But I hope to soon.”

“WLD - I think you live a stone's throw from where I work!

I will be hiking in the San Gorgonio Wilderness over Memorial Day weekend...can't wait...except I haven't gotten in shape yet for the season.”

“Father Goose, you had dinner with bitpusher ??

Did you guys meet in H'ville??

If you did then you should have invited me!!

Arrrghhh!!


I don't believe anyone has walkindude beat.”

“MDS, we ate at Cafe Berlin. Are you from Huntspatch as well? Let's have a beer!”

“I was over at your site looking at pictures of various TTers and the hikes of past four years. It's a great site and I'm so glad it's there. Thanks for the good work. Damn I wish I coming out to California this summer. This time I've resolved to the fact that I'm not going to be able to make it. But next summer I'm going to be there. Hope to see you and all the rest up high in the great state of California.”

“We were the two who had made it to all the llamaramas!

I hope to get out your way some day. I have a lot of friends in East Tennessee and need to get out that direction. I also want to visit GSMNP and Dollywood.”

“If Phil is going to the Smokies I'm there.”

Actually, JerBear and Freedom probably have me beat. I'm probably in the top 5 of having met the most TTers though.
I think my count is about 60.”

“If you come East there is going to be a heck of an ECT! They'll probably be a hundred of us.Think GSMNP can handle an expedition like that?

Yeah I'm going to miss the '02 Llama Rama and this Montanapalooza trip. I keep mulling this situation over and lamenting the fact that I can't win the Power Ball Lottery and retire to the lifestyle I so richly desire. A life of n'er-do-well idleness and world trekking. So depressing!”

“Sorry MDS! I never even thought about inviting any other Huntsvillians!

There are so many of us now we could make our own Trail Talk, lol....”

“I've been watching for a conference at UTK or some other nearby university I could attend...then spend the rest of the time with friends and on the trail. I'm going to Purdue (W. Lafayette, Indiana) for a conference this week, but I am flying in Tuesday morning and out Friday morning.”

“No problem bitpusher, e-mail me next time and I'll hang with you TT'ers for a while.”

“I met Jerbear on the phone today. I believe that Walkindude said this sorta' counts. LOL! What a nice guy, very encouraging!”

“Yeah, Jerry is a fun guy to hike with! Very likable dude.”

“Yep, I'm not so worried about my NewbieNess, w/ him around I should be fine.”

“Will do, MDS.”

“He'll keep an eye out on ya. You'll learn a lot from the bear too.”

“While on top of Mammoth Mountain this afternoon, I heard "Snow Nymph" and met two hikers from another site. First time meeting, so we did a few runs together.”

“newgirl
newergirl
geezr and mrs. geezr

We met for Sunday brunch in downtown Billings and talked about ALL OF YOU!!! Also the fact that we'll add 20 to our lists after montanapalooza.

BTW newergirl is a doll! (newgirl ain't bad either, but people weren't coming over and patting her on the head as much as newergirl)”

“Isn't there a little aero? I thought you were going to tell us about the latest TT romance.”

“Nope, I was only involved with the production of Little Aero. No others that I can remember.”

“Huh!?!?

So you DO have a Little Aero, and is it a boy, and was he with you at brunch when you met Newgirl and Newergirl, who is rather age appropriate as a pal for Little Aero?”

“no no no no... little aero is a girl! She couldn't make the brunch. Heh, heh,I thought you meant me and newgirl!
I'm not her type; I don't look enough like Sean Connery. Now Phil on the other hand....”

“Ooops! Poor aerogirl, sorry about the goof!”

“Is newergirl posting now? Is that why you added her to the list?”

“Gosh...”

“"who have you met"

[in a stron NJ/Italian accent] You're mother!”

“Yep, I can add Geezr and Mrs. Geezr to the list too. Thanks for the compliment on Newergirl, Aero. Sorry she kept spilling everything. She was a little antsy by the end of the meal. Also you kill me . . . "Newgirl ain't bad either, but people weren't coming over and patting her on the head." Hilarious.

Walkindude, although Newergirl is practically a genius, she isn't quite ready to post on TT. LOL!”

“Well, since this thread is up, I can proudly add LyndyS and Artex to my small but growing list (in chronological order):

Plain Hiker (my troll!)
AmyG
SirPete
MadRiver
WalkinDude
Jerbear
LyndyS

“I love posting to this thread and I can't wait until after Montanapalooza. I can add like, half a million people.”

“A half a million people?

Aero, we need to look for bigger camping areas!!!!!!

It's always a joy meeting new people and I can add:
Newgirl
Newergirl
Aero

P.S. Newgirl and Newergirl are both beauties. The same can't be said about Aero :-)”

“My list is small, but I'm happy to have met the two people I did, and look forward to meeting more of you in the future...!

Pedxing
LyndyS”

“what about Violin, i thought he was supposed to meet you guys! or shall he remain forever a TT enigma...”

“He wasn't there while I was there. But I believe Pedxing said Violin did call him on his cell phone that day.”
