Time to switch to summer avatars

[Bob Kittredge]

Awright youse guys. Get off your duffs and change your avatars to something more seasonal than parkas, goggles and wool hats. It's summer!

Rummaging through my pack yesterday, I came across my instep crampons. Three weeks ago that still seemed like a reasonable thing to carry.

I don't know, Bob, I gotta disagree with you on this one. Sitting here sweltering in my Manhattan office, I can almost feel the winter chill coming off the computer monitor every time I see one of those winter hiking images.

Besides, you know what happened when SherpaJohn's avatar was changed to a "hotter" theme

 

[Sherpa John]

Last I checked... people wanted most to keep the clothes ON

Done! Good idea Bob

I'll switch mine over after July 16th, and for a good reason.

I look a lot better with my clothes on, and distance is my friend! Don't you remember JohnS' "Buddha Backpacking Team" picture? If you do, I apologize (John: please don't bring it back!)

OK, I'll take the first step, or... leap. This avatar was made possible by a beautiful swimming hole I found in Eastern Vermont this past weekend.

Edit: I stitched 4 photos together to illustrate my flight pattern a little better.

Done!

 

[SAR-EMT40]

Good idea, Done.

I’m way behind. I’m still using my fall avatar.

 

[Doc McPeak]

But it's not summer ... yet.

I'll do a spring one, and change to summer next week.

I disliked not having an avatar and not having a digital camera... I'm forced to be REALLY creative! What do ya' think of this one?!?!

 

[Waumbek]

OK, Bob, but I'm only promising to change for 24 hours. If I get withdrawal symptoms, the old one is coming back. I took this today. What do you think it is? (I can tell you right now that it's NOT a large beer can going overboard.)

Funny...I didn't do a damn thing (I promise!) and my avatar reverted to an old one that just happened to be a winter scene...who's really in control here? Cuz "it ain't me babe"

 

[Maddy]

Here he is....Bernie at five months asserting himself and enjoying the pool.
He especially likes "white water" but needs to be tethered because he has not a clue what his limitations are!

Well I finally got with the program and here is my summer Avatar. The photo is of Wright and Algonquin, but does anyone know where I took this picture?
