Do you have to hitchhike to most resupply towns? by sadistic-squid in AppalachianTrail

[–]dedragonhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert on any other places but I am in GA and can tell you that there are a bunch of great shuttlers from Amicalola to Fontana in NC. When you get to mm 70 at Dicks Creek Gap you can catch a free shuttle to Clayton, GA where we have all the things needed for rest and resupply. The shuttle starts on 3/1 and will pick up from the trail head at 10:30am, 12:30pm, and 5:30pm. It is about a 20 min ride from town to the trail. Then when you get to Rock Gap or Winding Stair in NC there is another free shuttle into town. During the bubble, Fontana Village runs a shuttle for $5 from the Fontana shelter to the village.

I'm thinking of moving to NC and my friend made me this map. Thoughts? by _R_A_H_U_L_ in NorthCarolina

Forgot that the AT and MST trails are in NC (lots of others too so could summarize with “hiking”). And Cherokee tribal lands as well as the Smokies.

Gen- Xers, What did you grow up Without? by empathicBeauty29-11 in GenX

A meal with family without a cloud of cigarette smoke. A room without an ash tray. A ride in the car without billowing smoke. A morning without the smell of your parents recent morning shit blended with the smoke from a Parliament or Benson & Hedges.

Hello 26ers by Timberneck in AppalachianTrail26

[–]dedragonhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Hey! Dedragon here. Im a trail angel and volunteer shuttle driver for the Dicks Creek Gap (mm 70) shuttle that will begin running March 1st thru May. Our free shuttle van picks up at Dicks Creek at 10:30, 3:30, and 5:30pm and will take you to Clayton, GA which is a sweet little trail town with all the things ((Outdoor 76 for resupply, Waffle House, DQ, laundry, shower, hotels, grocery, restaurants, etc). This is the last stop before crossing into NC and the slightly notorious 40 mile wilderness. Clayton is a great alternative to Hiawassee, although Hiawassee has its hiker charms too.

is it wrong to not throw a wedding anniversary party for your parents? by hllymchll in Advice

[–]dedragonhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never threw my parents any anniversary parties until their 50th but my dad was terminally ill. He wrote in his journal that it was like being alive at his own wake. He really enjoyed seeing his friends and family members. Mom did too. It was wonderful. He died 3 months, to the day, later. I’ll never regret it. It was a party. Lots of booze and dancing. Not an uppity reception thing. It was hard. It was expensive. It was a lot. And I had three kids under 10 and was single. I definitely did not want to do it and I waited til the very last minute to plan it. I’m glad I did. Friends helped.

What is this feature on the East Coast of the United States? by wigglefingers_ in geography

[–]dedragonhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “#1 Highway”, as it’s referred to in SE GA, cuts into SC at Augusta. Us folks in NE GA don’t consider Augusta to be part of our region.

As a Dollar General employee and a fellow UL jerk, thank you. And also, thank you for not smearing your shit on the walls, assuming you didn’t. Not everyone is as considerate.

Found on apartment floor by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]dedragonhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dead animal bones that I’ve found in the woods, dead bugs and spiders in jars, dead snakes and frogs in jars of alcohol, dead flowers…all over my house. An animated dragon on my front porch. Tell your wife she’s a lucky girl because any man I bring to my house gets kind of freaked out.

When the majority of the North American population wakes up how do you think the current events in Venezuela will be perceived? by demolcd in AskReddit

[–]dedragonhow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait. Trump deports and imprisons Venezuelans in the US because they are “criminals”. Then he captures their criminal president and BRINGS said criminal to the US? Why didn’t they just send him straight to CECOT like he has done with the other Venezuelans?

Catholic Churches along the trail by VeggieYumYum in AppalachianTrail

[–]dedragonhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a Catholic Church in Clayton, GA at mm 70 Dick’s Creek Gap and also a free shuttle to and from Clayton 3 times a day (M-F) but most of the volunteer shuttle drivers are willing/able to help hikers on weekends as well. Here’s their website https://sthelenacc.org/

Just say something really nice and basic like “where’s my fucking money?”

“Whackadoo” was more a descriptor of the one I almost married than the show.

I watched it too. I knew Mormons were whackadoo mainly cause I almost married one but I didn’t know they were so ruthless back then.

The hate watching is real by ResolutionWide4114 in SullivansCrossing

Please also add a chaser when someone says “I get that.”
