Hi,I'm not exactly new to the forums but it's been ages since I've been around.So I figured I'd make a quick introduction. I think the last time I was active was when Backpacker.com still had the free email accounts.I'm actually still a little angry on that one since they closed it on me while I was offline traveling/backpacking in Europe LOL. Anyway it's nice to see a few familiar names in the mix and I'm sure I'll see some more as time goes on.Granted I was never really a big poster myself. Right now I'm currently back in NJ so if any of the old Mid-atlantic group is still around maybe I might even see a familiar face when it warms up a bit,as I've run into a few of them in the past.Although if my work calls me back dont feel bad if I miss you since I'd just about chew my arm off to get out of NJ again Bye for now Robert

Welcome back, captainrob. I'm actually still a little angry on that one since they closed it on me while I was offline traveling/backpacking in Europe LOL. Don't blame you for being angry. The new management around here is WAY better!

Thanks Desertdweller,It still seems like there's a good group of folks still around that is for sure. Although when I first got back stateside I took a 5 day trip on the AT and it seemed more like the Appalachian Highway.So I was a bit hesitant to get back into things.But come to find out I just had the misfortune of coming across a bunch of yellow blazers trying to make it to the next party.I was ok with them having a good time until my food bag and stove went missing and then I had enough.

Welcome back to the fray. It's pretty darn close to the same old, same old...except the intro questions have become more complex.

Hey Tigger, It's good to see one of the good gear guru's is still here.But I tend to remember your avatar wearing a few more articles of clothing though...........Is this some new form of Ultra Light technique I've missed over the past couple of years LOL?

For years here the greatest horror on here were men in skirts. Now its Tigger's gloablwarmariffic garb.
Welcome back Rob, my bro lives in Teaneack and drives the GW everyday to Columbia. Visiting him I can tell you there are VERY GOOD reasons you are the "Garden State." But, if you don't like it there's always Mississippi... or Camden.
May every step be sensational and every bivy beautiful.

Welcome back, Rob! Gee, I'd forgotten the BP email...it screwed me up when they dropped that, too. Though at least I wasn't out of the country!

Yeah man, I know. Could you just back off on the sunscreen just a little though. I might have to have cornea surgery as it is.
