Okay campers. heres a few books to read to get you down with my post. 1 monkey wrench gang. actually thats all im gonna give ya cause if you dont figure it out from that then you dont want it! Its been a few days, sorry. I have had some things happening at home. One: My family spent some time here to try and and bring positive energy to my wife. Then we had a friend from Germany and a few of his friends we didn’t even know come to town….. in this situation, you must be open to taking in people you have never met. I’m talking about hikers. This is a clan of people who spend their free time and vacations walking thousands of miles for fun. It’s completely bizarre to me. I have never wanted to spend 3 months walking from Canada to Mexico, or the Continental divide, apparently its fun to some people. They have their own language and customs. The have award ceremonies for walking the three major trails in the US, The Appalachian trail, the continental divide, and the pacific coast trail. I had a couple of these guys in my house prepairing their food and what they NEED to carry for 800 hundred miles. Its nuts, they have to work out where they send food for parts of the trip cause they can’t carry food for 25 days in their packs, even the lightest weight has WEIGHT!! Then they have to hitch hike into towns near where they mailed their supplies…supplies. Hitch hiking in this day and age is nuts. I thought it was illegal everywhere. Apparently these smelly hikers can get rides into towns where their food is. Gaining entry into these vehicles takes a specific skill set, not appearing like an escaped convict helps, but even the longest haired hiker can find a ride. It depends if you are bearded, clean shaven, or better yet have a girl with you (girls definitely make it easier). I’m amazed and confused by these travelers. I invite anyone who comes across these people to invite them into your home. I have met some of the coolest people in the world. They are very appreciative of a place to stay and to get ready for the next part of the journey. I know I’m a better person for meeting them. You will be also. But be warned, the line goes; if you invite 1 hiker into your home you invite 10, and they will hiker trash your home, but they will clean after , and leave you with a positive feeling.
That’s all for now, remember this is a site for us all! Post often and always.
The angryslacker!
