	Hi Jill. That has to be your shortest post of all time. I like how we can use emoticons over here. So, I've always been curious how you thought up your screen name. You're Beth after all. And, it's my thread so I can hijack it. It's good to have more females chiming in over here. Welcome!

	Jackpine Jack and Jill went.... From a fellow admirer of pinus banksiana.

	TomT - Are you implying I'm verbose on other forums - no way. Thank you for the welcome - great to be here. Feels just like my childhood home - full of boisterous men who get nothing done but wisecracking. Just kidding! JillPine - from Jack Pine. Scraggly, prickly, tough and northern.

	Yes, welcome Jillpine. It is nice to see another female in this place. There aren't a whole lot of us here.

	Thank you, S2 - also looking forward to ongoing trip reports and photos from you! I love them and have for many years on other forums. Visited your favorite site on Cherokee early this summer with my son. I left some good thoughts and prayers in your honor!

	Welcome JillPine. I have enjoyed your posts "over yonder" I will likely enjoy them here as well.

	Thank you - I'll strive to be concise around here. Ironically, unlike TomT, I'm a consummate introvert, requiring a ratio of 2:1 for time alone: time with other people. Maybe that's the beauty of online forums. You can just paddle away when it gets to be too much. Incidentally, have any of you ever heard or met Michael Furtman, the author of the original post? I saw him speak years ago in Duluth - just terrific. So precise, soft-spoken, careful, and obviously so concerned with the protection of the area. His writings have influenced me tremendously over the years. Gosh, I've already managed to ramble. Have a great weekend, everyone! Get out there and paddle if you're able.

	Welcome JillPine. And here I thought this was a good ol' boys club around here. I suppose we're going to have to start putting the toilet seat down now

I suppose we're going to have to start putting the toilet seat down now Don't forget IC Mike She probably has more tripping time than just about anyone else here or close to it. We have SP2 as well. I'd include PJ's Queen of the Nile wife but I'm sure he brings in a PORT-POTTY with LID for her. It's GOOD to be the Queen.
