whatever happened to big_load? Interesting! BigLoad (no underscore) has posted 500+ messages, but not since last June! |

I think he's going on the Scotland trip this year with some other members, but that's no reason to ignore the rest of us. <sniff>

last logged in on March 10. Interesting! I looked at his Profile and the list of his posts, the last on that list was June. But yes, in his Profile it simply says Last Online: Mar 10, 2016 at 6:28pm. So he stopped posting in June, but still looks in. Curious. |

I'm trying to track him down to invite him back to the forum. He is on Facebook, if that helps. |

We need NatureBoy. Nobody could rock sequins on the trail like he could.

Preacher did sign in and posted 25 times. His last visit was in January. I even added MoonPies to the smiley choices when I saw him come back in. Zdonut |

So he stopped posting in June, but still looks in. Curious. About BigLoad : This list of his most recent posts shows that BigLoad last posted on Christmas Day here in a Merry Christmas thread. I do wish he would check in. And I hope very much that he is okay. He has posted many of the most clever one-liners of anyone I recall in these forums. |

I just remembered that I have Ray Estrella's email address from a gear purchase some years ago, so I shot him an email, and he very kindly replied. He's okay, but his current life circumstances have prevented him from having time for the forum, or very much else for that matter. But he asked me to say hi to everyone, recalling the good folks that are part of this forum. Hopefully his life will settle down to a point where he'll be back one day, many of you will remember that Ray was not only one of our most knowledgeable posters, but also just a great guy, one of the truly fine people who have contributed to this forum being such a great place over the years.

Wow, all those old names! I still see a few of them on FB.
Maybe the "break" was long enough that people went to other sites.
