Snow In March...HELL YEAH!

What makes a Hiking Machine happy? A snow hike anywhere, but when to Rich Mountain Fire Tower...HELL YEAH!

With that snow yesterday I hoped the Lummox was on the same wavelength as the Hiking Machine and he was so it was a Sunday on the trail. If bringing that stupid drone got me out on the snow, we'll I didn't give a damn! 

When we started it was 15 degrees, just like how the Hiking Machine likes it. On the trail, it was slick with snow and steep...I love this part of the AT (Appalachian Trail). On the way back I got to spread knowledge to thru-hikers. Well, that is all, so I am out...BITCHES!

DAMN! I AM PISSED...But Not At The Lummox!

Let me tell you something daddy...I am supposed to be setting by a fire right now camping, at Old Forge Campground, but I am not!!!!

No, I at the house and all because some GOD D**N CRAZY F**KER WAS CREEPING AROUND OUR CAMPSITE!!! He said so much sh*t it about covered the tent! Let me calm down a second, for once I have to agree with the Lummox this guy was Looney like Tunes. All of this put a blemish on my crushing the Doctor's Ridge Trail. I got nothing else to say but I am out, bitches...

What Else Can I say...THE LUMMOX!

 

Alright, I have to breathe and CALM DOWN! Okay, I give the Lummox grief, I get that, but there are times when he more than deserves it and that was the case Monday. What I am talking about was our "aborted" hike and camping in the CNF (Cherokee National Forest). I have wanted to do the loop of Phillips Hollow, Artie Hollow, and Davis Creek Trails for more than a year. He used the excuse of COVID last Spring and when we finally got back o the trail there was one excuse after another.

 Anyway...FINALLY, we were going to do the CNF loop Monday and then camp at the recently opened Old Forge Campground. So, we get to the Margarette Falls Trailhead (which is the one for the loop too) and he gets a boot out and then says: where is the other? It must be in the trunk." But, guess what? It wasn't...the airhead LEFT ONE AT HOME...WHAT THE FECK! How do you forget a hiking boot! No, that wasn't a question...I know! Just remember to quote Forest Gump "stupid is as stupid does" If you put his "brain in a parakeet it would fly backward!" We passed some guineas that wouldn't get out of the road I say the Lummox's Kinard spirits...WHAT A DOPE! That's all the more I think about it the madder I get, I am done...

I Am Pissed Because My (Pete's) Knob Needs To Be Hiked!

 

Pete here and let me just say the Hiking Machine is pissed off...daddy! We were over at the Cabin in Fort (Blackmore, VA) and while we went hiking Wednesday and Thursday what we didn't do was go up to my knob, Pete's Knob. On Wednesday afternoon the Lummox said he was tired and wanted to do something easier than. I know my knob is intimidating so I let it go but when we didn't go up yesterday I was pissed! First, we didn't go in the morning because of some stupid cross-country skiing, which didn't even come on! 

Then after lunch, we hiked over to the other barn to check it out. I thought we would go on the way back, but he said "poor old Bax" was tired...I think it was more like big Lummox is a wuss! 🤬 Then this morning he didn't because it was supposed to rain, but it didn't...next time it is my knob or bust! Well, I am out...BITCHES!
