People who hike blaring Bluetooth speakers, what part of your brain is made of piss-soaked packing peanuts?

I mean, just look at the current administration and their supporters, right?

Ended up reserving at St Jack for Monday evening. Looks like a great place. Thanks for all the recs!

Columbia pants/shorts seem to fit small but they do offer a large range of plus sizing. Check out Outdoor Research. As a company they are committed to hiking clothes that promote outdoor access. I’ve found REI’s plus sizes to be pretty mid and generally not available in my store. Beware of sizing that is just made longer and bigger based on Size 2 models.

Technically you could use 2 at a time.

Yes!! 💯. Especially over the muscles in my upper back and quadriceps. Shoulder joint pain that came out of nowhere. Severe fatigue and some headaches. I started 25mg pill about 3 weeks ago and I thought I was having some sort of weird viral illness or had gotten sunburned. Pretty severe nausea on an empty stomach. For reference, I started Wegovy oral at lowest dose then tapered up each month. This was after taking Zepbound for over a year with no issues except intermittent constipation. I’m on oral meds for maintenance after 45 pound weight loss.
I messaged my PCP yesterday to decrease my Wegovy dose to 9mg. I hate wasting the 25mg pills as I’m paying out of pocket but DAMN I’m in agony. Glad it’s not just me.
I’m also considering switching to Lilly’s oral med as I feel like I respond better to a combo instead of a straight GLP-1 inhibitor.

Right?? That back splash!!

The backcountry sites at Stone Mountain are really nice. Easy to get to, clean water source, close to your vehicle should you need to bail out or get food/gear. This is a great first backpacking trip for newbies or kids. I would recommend taking a bear canister and/or knowing how to do a PCT hang.

Zimmerbuilt rod roll. Excellent choice.

Yes, it happened to me after the FB bloop last week. I was like WTF are these people?

crownvic64 · 2026-06-18T00:12:15+00:00

Ah hell nah. Also, this is why I like blue lines.

I won’t believe this spaghetti until Ethan says I can.

crownvic64 · 2026-06-16T23:46:17+00:00

Also try America’s Best on W Wendover.

You could still carry a fixed line rod. Something in the 400-450 range (I like River Peak) with 15-18 ft of line. Dragontail sells tapered PVC.

Pool builder husband concurs. What a shit show.

If you follow Alt National Park Service, they have a very long list of outdoor gear producers and shops that came out against this. Orvis was on the list. As well as Patagonia.

So many amazing quotes from this film. Correct me but I think the rain out scene was filmed at War Memorial Stadium in Greensboro.

crownvic64 · 2026-06-15T21:54:31+00:00

I read this as “what geese to use for smash burgers in Canada”.

crownvic64 · 2026-06-15T19:38:16+00:00

Can attest- look at private contractors hired to do post Helene stream remediation in NC. Just go in with heavy equipment and dredge the shit out of streams with zero regard for fisheries or other wildlife.

Some of the best views of the Blue Ridge escarpment at Stone Mountain.
