h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry. He told me to help. Well, okay sir.

hmm fair play
and y calling me sir

u ever been up mount saint helens ??

Oh, Commander Leonard asked me to join you. The science lab finished the clones so I sent them in. That's it

No. Just Mt Marcy in NYS. And half way up MT Wahington, NH. Have you?

aye i have but it was a while back from what i can remember it was a good walk

Ah, that's nice. I enjoy a pleasant walk.

aye that i gatherd from ur personal space

If you want to play a joke on someone the next time you hike Mt St. Helen, get a helicopter and drop rubber tire tubes into the opening of the valcano. Then, set them on fire. It looks like there will be an erruption and you get a good laugh. Don't get fined though. Such a prank may cost you $1500.00 as a friend of as friend was so charged.

hmm the chances of me walking it again but cheers for the idea

I didn't mean to scare you-it's just a prank someone played with a truckload of rubber tubes once, a very long time ago. I thought it was funny. Oh well, I'm gearing up to go to the lodge at the top on mT Washington. It's a rugged hike and the weather is unpredictable. Once a friend of mine and I were camping on the summit of a MT in the Presidental ranges and the wind was so strong we were nearly swept off the peak.
Chao

hey no worries mate the reason i wont be walking st helens is im in the uk and have a bit of a prob getting there

You live in the UK. That's awesome. I lived there of about six months- a long time ago, in Malvern with a Bobby and his family-part of a student exchange program. Anyway, I hope you do come to the USA to hike again one day.

aye i will but i need to do the appalation trail again cause last time i walked any of it was 10 or 11 years ago

Yeah, the appalation trail is really great. I've hiked parts of it myself. Parts of the trail go along Mt Washington, NH. The trail is a bit rugged but the scenery is beautiful. There is a lodge called Yhe Joe Dodge Lodge in Pinkham Notch, NH which is part of the Appalation Mountain Club. The cost is $46.00 per night which includes room and breakfast and dinner. It's a great place to stay before a hike. There are other lodges in the White Mountains, NH which are nice with meals. Other lodges are more rustic. You can backpack in. there are also campgrounds for tent camping. Some friends have hiked from lodge to lodge through the White Mountains and had a wonderful experience. So, I highly recommend the Appalaltion Mountain Club trails and lodges. Adieu!

nah i prefer just to take a tent and find somewere out of the way to set up just cause im not to fond of people but hey thats me so tell me a tad about ur self

Well, I prefer to hike when there are other people around. I tried to camp alone once and got scared and had to leave. It was in the winter and the cold and everything. I like spring and summer camping and hiking. Have you ever been hiking or camping and heard the morning birdsong? Aye, around 6am near May or June the Song Birds sing a beautiful chorus in Upstate NY. I awoke one morning and was awed.

aye i woke up to bird song and shouted till it shut up and went back to sleep but thats just cause i dont like being woken up at 6 in the morning although i have been walking about 5/6 and heard it so i sat a spell and had breakfast listening to the bird song

That's funny because at first the birds were groaning like they were all dying or something. Well, after a few minutes they were singing their little songs. It certainly was odd. There were horrible electrical storms at that time though. Threatening thunder clouds, bolts of lightening hit the ground and started fires, and rain poured for weeks and weeks. People came out camping anyway though and had to go home.I hope the weather is better for outings this year.

ah well the weather here allways sucks so you lucky to be able to go out for a weekend with out it starting to piss it down so tell me a tad about you sorta like name? age? where ya from?? all that crap
