I'd put some other great ones up, but I don't think the various subjects of the photos would appreciate it!

This picture has done the rounds already I think, but regardless, I can kill three weirdos with one stone.

Was that on Street? I recognize that tree on the right.

ADK88 and Hobbitling,
I believe your bathing ritual is the same one used by the ancient monks of Southern Greenland, ie: the famed Brothers of Eternal Chastity. The practice of taking hourly icy baths (more as necessary) promoted godly thoughts and kept the monks' minds off the maidens of the local fishing village.
For God's sake, put your pants back on! ;)

HAHAHA! Thanks for the advice. It was actually not Hobbitling in the photo, but Matt. Matt is the brother of Stokel on here, and the only one awesome (stupid) enough to do something like this with me.

But you're right, my mind was definitely not on the maidens of the local fishing village (Keene Valley?!?). Must have worked!

I also think that we're the only ones who carry a bathing suit to Grace Camp in January. Yearly tradition, you might say.

[ADK88]

Well, lad, you're in luck. A breakaway sect of the Brothers emigrated from Greenland to Minnesota in the late 1800's. You'll fit right in...
I'm guessing you wouldn't pull such a stunt in blackfly season, eh? Ouch!

Perfect!! Naw, I'll jump in a hot spring with a couple 1960's-area rain wear on as my stunt out there! :rolleyes:

You're geographically very close. We were on Street just a couple (few?) short hours before this picture was taken. Hint: there's no trail, but there's a pond nearby.

Hahaha, I was actually kidding. Jay told me about the trip. I figured it was somewhere around Street - LPP. Sounded like an awesome day!

Hmmm I looked through my photos, and I cannot find a single picture of a weirdo. It must be that I only hike with normal people.

There's got to be someone you hike solo with that fits the bill.

Doin' what comes naturally...at a dark trailhead after hiking the Sewards. :drink:
