Which followed the Winter where people Whined and complained about Snow Non-Stop.


I seem to remember getting rained on last summer.. also I remember the forecasts being wrong all the time last year too... That's summer for you!

At least we can hike in the rain. Try telling that to roofers/painters etc

 

[Sasquatch]

It seems more like joking about the situation than whining and complaining.

RETURN OF THE SUCK

For the hikes I've taken lately, it's been RETURN OF THE BOOT SUCK

I'm surprised the Green Mountain Club hasn't closed the Long Trail for mud season in August

Lemme tell you, late 2006 and all of 2007 were difficult and awful for me. Job sucked, got out shape, numerous issues, stopped hiking etc. Back in shape and then back hiking in early 2008 and it's been fantastic. I'm happy to be getting out again and it's been a great Spring/Summer of hiking for me -- I really have loved it so far in 2008 and there's >4 months to go still. Great year.

I'm startin' to lean toward any nickname regarding wet boots. The slosher we took last Friday (8th) over Whiteface & Passaconaway really saturated them. My boots have been outside, but under cover, since we got back to our house last Saturday. It is now the 14th and they have still not dried completely. The outside is drier, but inside its still all wet and clammy. I should have opened a betting pool on when they would have been dry.

A "berry" nice summer.

I agree completely. With every storm cloud there is a silver (or maybe blue, red, or black) lining. This summer has been berry, berry, berry good to me. So perhaps the title for this summer should be:

"The Good, the Bad, and the Berry"
