Recently Old Guestbook Entries
Felix:
I have seen your posts and we have run into each other in the #AT channel of EFnet. I came to your page to read "Where the Hell is Paris?" and stayed to read the rest of your page. Your story was excellent! You have a talent for writing. It made me very sad to read about Mrs. Felix. I have a wife and 2 children, and the kind of person I am I often wonder what I would do if something happened to my family. I am 31, and I have lived long enough to know that if something happened to one or all of them, I would find a way to survive. It's a big world out there with infinite possibilities. This is one motivation for me developing "outside" interests such as hiking. Jeez, this is a long guestbook entry. Take care and GOOD LUCK on the thru hike. I live near the trail in NE Tennessee. A good friend at work keeps a hostel in Hampton, TN. Keep us on the list posted as to your progress; perhaps we can meet when you pass this way. Best Wishes and thanks for sharing your stories,

Please induldge my sophmoric humor. I got your message and we are ready to rock and roll, although I don't know whether I can do that with a ted Nugent fan. This is quite impressive. Explain it all to me when I see you. By the way, without the carrot of Khatadin, you won't do anything you won't want to.Thomas John Ruane

Hoping that you're still on the southbound quest Felix, but thought I'd drop a hello your way. Just finishing up Officer Candidate School here in FL and headed to good 'ol GA for some more training. Hope to head to Springer and do some fun hiking on my weekends. Keep hiking!Suzz Hill

Felix: Your page brought back old memories. I grew up in Indianapolis and now live in Virginia - about 15 miles from the AT. I've begun dreaming of a thru hike. Good luck on your hike!

Dear Mr. Magillicuddy:
It sure was nice to have such a "gentlemen", author, hiker,landscaper, and interesting person in our home on the 30th. Hopefully by now, you will have completed your quest. Congratulations! Thanks for the invaluable info and wisdom you gave to my wife's nephew. I'd like to get your thoughts on how "The Tank" is holding up after you crossed paths again. I wish you the Best of "Trail Magic" throughout the coming years and hope our paths cross again. Godspeed.

Hi Felix. I'm a lurker on the at-l and the atml and I enjoy your writings and your humor so I had to check this out. You've done a great job with your site. You have a real gift for writing....keep it up. Happy Trails!
Thanks for an interesting site.Rev. Howard D. Lyons, Sr.

I hiked 300 miles of the AT in 1996 - I miss it terribly and am looking forward to the day when I can return. I thoroughly enjoy the AT pages as they keep me in touch....looking forward to hearing about your hike and seeing some pictures!Gerri Chesney

2. You are a clever rascal.
3. I was hoping to see that you had gotten some employment now that you're out of the woods, but I guess not, huh?Bud Woods

You have been reading too much Milne! Sad! But not totally a waste. Only the work of the Congress is a total waste!
Hope your summer hike was fun. Have you written up your trip yet? Love to read it. I did all of NJ, but had to cut the hike short as my 93 year old mother developed medical problems: terminal cancer. Hope to do all of NY this summer if my mother's health doesn't deteriorate too rapidly. Glad to read of your new love interest. Have many of those before you decide to hitch up again. Listen to Eyore. Let him be your guide through this mystical journey called life. BlackfootMalcolm Smith

Okay, I like your page but there needs to be a link to go to your haiku and other writings. I enjoy those very much in email, and think you should record them here for posterity, and for the enjoyment of those not on the list. They're a little window into your soul. Oh, and I especially appreciate the wildly flapping mailbox on the bottom of your homepage! Are you that anxious for mail?Debbie Smith

Guess you made it back. Thanks for the pic. I am _still_quilty of not reading all of the ATlist mail. I need to write a "Felix Filter" so I won't miss anything pertaining to you or your antics.
Cheers,
Jamie :-)Jamie

No, that wasn't a typo, I have been feeling "quilty". I guess it's the homebody in me. I just sit around making quilts all day long - no time to hike.
*sigh*
:P~~
_That's_ why I don't have time to read AT-list mail.

Hey Felix... Why are you hiking the A.T? I know... because it's there. Nothing exceeds a good armchair adventure. So now I am going to surf over and climb Mt Everest. Best of luck to you. Check you later..Hazet Mayer
BuffaloHazel@webtv.net
Just checkin' in on your site, Felix, hoping to find some more photos of the Grand Adventure or more stories. :-)
I wanted also to say "thank you" for your honesty and humor and willingness to listen, as well as letting me participate in a small way in your thru-hike. Any time you're hiking this way, lemme know and I'll help ya however I can.
