I'll relay this great little story about the trip Hambone and I just took.We packed many miles to get away into the wilderness and really didn't see anyone else the whole day hiking in. We set up camp in a place called Deep Gap and then went to the summit of Cold Mtn.We get back fix up a little food and right before dark these two couples come up the trail.One guys says "hello" and drops his pack. The next thing we know they are setting up camp about 20 feet away from us. Now Hambone takes the nice route and strikes up a conversation and lets them know there is another nice campsite about 5 min. down the trail....the guy just stares blankly at him. I'm getting ticked so I go over and tell the guy that they really shoud check out that other site.......he just grunts and nods and then continues to empty his pack. These people had all new gear,and looked liked a group of yuppies that were sooooooooooo clueless it really was sad. I'm kinda glad they stayed now becuse it was better than reality TV. One guy tried to light his stove and just about started a forest fire. I just about fell out of my hammok laughing at these idiots trying to put that stove/fireball from hell out. When a bobcat sounded off about midnight the girls(we named Buffy and Fifi) about freaked.....cue loud cackling from the Hammok crowd. It's reall amazing how rude and cluless some folks can be,but as Hambone helped me see it can also be some of the funniest stuff you'll ever witness.
