We all know to be a real hiker that it takes the ability to walk some
distance and be in shape.
This tends to cut out the elderly, disabled, overweight, sickly, small children etc.
These groups of people could enjoy the outdoors by using motorized
offroad vechicals. But increasingly are being cut out and cut off from the outdoors.
Are hikers snobs ??? Anti family? Inclusive except for the physically unable to hike in
the outdoors????
I think so. Other Opinions????

It was worth a try to see if things would get better, but now I am wondering if maybe the best thing would be to get rid of the stewardship thread entirely.

Really. Think on this.

Cite one example where this is true.

No, your definition of a *real hiker,* whatever that means, is your own.
It's not *We*

I was corrected once by a three year old when I asked her if she liked the family walks. She informed me that they went on hikes, not walks. To her, going on an outing in the woods for a mile or two was hiking. I agree. It is whatever you want.
What is important is getting out, even if you like to dress as a princess.. She is an old second grader now--much older and not so much into the princess thing.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

I can't tell if you believe this stuff, it if you're just putting us on.
Anybody who can hike, can hike. Anybody who can operate a computer can post here and have a voice.
Did you expect anybody to agree with you when you're calling us snobs? Maybe work on your delivery a bit?

Are posters that ask questions about who they can disrespect by applying some label trolls?

A local chef was working at the Admiral Thriftway one afternoon and passing out samples of this delectable treat, and was happy to give me the recipe:
1 whole salmon filet ( steelhead will work in a pinch )
2 egg whites
2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1-2 teaspoons dry dill weed
1/2 teaspoon paprika (for pretty)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup grated hard white cheese ( Parmesan, Asiago, Gruyere, etc. )
* Whip eggs whites in chilled bowl just until they peak - refrigerate until ready to use
* Mix in a separate bowl the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, paprika, and pepper
* Broil the salmon, skin-side-down, until just shy of being done ( to your preference )
* While the fish is under the broiler, carefully fold together the egg whites, mayonnaise-mustard mix, and the cheese
* Spread the mixture over the top of the fish and pop it back under the broiler until just golden brown on top. ( Watch carefully - the difference between "golden brown" and "charcoal black" is about 5 seconds too long under the broiler! )
* Serve and enjoy
><((((°> ><((((°> ><((((°> ><((((°> ><((((°> ><((((°>
(* If you love a good salmon recipe, then the time it took you to read through this nonsensical palaver wasn't entirely wasted. *)

I am an "anti-family hiker" because one reason I hike is to get away from my family.

How did you come to that conclusion. I don't see a question about who can or can't post on this thread, if that's what you mean by having a voice *here.*
There's no questionnaire on physical condition to join or voice opinions on this forum. It's apparent there's no mental condition parameters either.

WaState, I am one of those elderly hikers who (per your definition) is no longer a "real" hiker.
There are plenty of short, easy (although crowded) trails that I plan to continue to enjoy as long as I can manage to put one foot in front of another and slowly hobble a half mile and back again. Many of these trails are handicap-accessible (on those, I can manage a mile each way).
There is absolutely no way I would attempt to use a motorized offroad vehicle! For one thing, I have also reached the age and stage at which I have to restrict my driving. For another, I definitely don't have the strength to handle an ORV on rough terrain. Finally, I detest the noise and terrain destruction of motorized offroad vehicles and certainly would never try to use one!
Up until recently, I regularly took my grandkids on hiking and backpacking trips. Even a 4-year-old can hike 4-5 miles! There are plenty of great places to go a few miles in from the trailhead. Of course by now the grandkids are grown up and going out on their own!
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.--E.Abbey

I’m an “elderly” hiker, and don’t have any issues with access. I know I’m not the only one. I know some children get out too.
The initial post is a prime example of someone not telling the truth about (his) intentions. Pretty obvious.
Great looking recipe !
