Backcountry Fitness Challenge 2009 SIGNUP

I'm really excited to see what you guys have accomplished so far out there. I felt like we put a good dent in it out there, but it's a never-ending job; that's for sure.

It sounds like we certainly are lucky to have trailrelic on our team. I didn't know he was a guide, or I would've been sending him boxes of chocolates with little notes begging him to be on our team!
Guess it worked out pretty well, huh?

Hello-

I just joined last night but I would love to get in on the Challenge for 2009! I would like to be on the trail stompers team if possible!

Let me know when I can start racking up the miles!

Lea-

Hi Lea... glad you could make it here. Guys Lea lives here just outside Memphis and is a member of the Memphis Hiking Group that attended the Tarp and Hammock Clinic last year. I am proud to call her a freind and look forward to her post here. OH and for all of us Hammockers... Shes got the bug as well. A great woman and a HAMMOCKER hahahaha gosh guess that makes her about as perfect as you can get. Damn makes me feel kind of left out now Naw.. I do tarps too hahahaha

Hi Lea, welcome to AB!

It's great that you're going to take part in the challenge! Welcome to the Trail Stompers. Hopefully I'll get to do some hiking with you soon.

I'll post an "official" message to let everyone know you're on our team.

Again, welcome to AB and if you have any questions or anything, feel free to PM me.

Lea,

Welcome to the site! I have been out doing trail work on the OT so missed you coming on board.

Welcome!

Hello,

We're new but would love to participate in the Fitness Challenge if it's possible.

OE,

Welcome to the site! I think that Jay may be bbping this weekend. When he gets back he will assign you to a team. I see that you are in Waldron. My name is Tom and I am in Dierks.

OH (Tom)

Welcome OE's,

I am Dwight and I live up in the Northwest. Just wait for Jay and he'll sign you up.

OE? Are you the oenavigator OE? I was gonna show you this site. Been real busy since our last exchange. We been talking bushwackin escapades thru emails. Met on the geocache site. Welcome over here...Q if ya haven't figured that out yet. This is a cool spot. Welcome. These folks seem real nice.

I may have to get on a team also... but we do more day hikes and bushwackin than trails. Question.. do you have to have a loaded pack for the miles to count? Thougth I picked that up from a post.

Clif,

I don't get all strung out on these rules! Basicaly in the end it is the total miles that count. There is bping miles also. If you take a day hike with a loaded down pack then that will count. There is a provision for bushwacking also. Just remember this is for FUN! This is to encourage more folks to get out on the trails or bushwack but basicaly get out in the woods! Most of mine are day hikes but we (wife and I) are doing trail work. Any way join up and dive in! If you are interested in coming this way give me a shout.

OH
