What
is G-WeBconnect?
G-WeBconnect is your gateway to
the insights and explorations of the Boys
and their backpacking mishaps and happenings. Think of it
as the Homer Simpson of trekking, the interstate to backcountry knowledge, and
as a cornucopia of camping tips, snowshoeing, UltraRunning
adventures, recipes for backcountry fine dining, and explorations in canoeing. G-WeB is a living
web site. It's formatting evolved from a loosely defined, longitudinal
effort to chronicle too many interlocking ideas. It's grown in content
(nearly 400 pages), and the quality of it's images improved when "g"
became digitized. It's not perfect... but it will connect you to a myriad
of links related to "g" and his
adventure-hounds.
Since being launched on the 3W during November, 2001, most of G-WeB’s
e-mail continues to the beg the question, “So... who sits at the keyboard of
G-WeBconnect?”
Initially, “g”
wrote the verse to the numerous poetic links at G-WeB. It started
with his e-accounts of backpacking adventures with the
Boys, and then rapidly mushroomed into a full-blown manic obsession
to record their every-waking-moment.(Good grief.) However, many now believe “g”
is long-since-gone, and a computer virus masquerading as some form of artificial
intelligence now pounds out the links to G-WeB.
And…
the Boys? They’re an ever-adjusting,
composition of unusual backpacking characters who (mostly) live in Upstate
New York. Luxuriating in the self-perception of being a small elite hiking
group in the Adirondack Mountains, they (regrettably) take credit for encouraging
“g” to formalize his writings.
However, it was “g’s” brother in Phoenix (RB-One-Kenobi,
Jedi-Knight) who put the scorpion in his ear during
a trip into the Grand Canyon (2000), “If you build it, they will click onto it.”
If you are so inclined,
visit the
Boys Hall of Fame. There you will meet some of “g’s”
ridge-huggin’ buddies, like: Steve-the-Knee-from-Jersey Gotta-See-A-Moose-Larry High-Altitude-Joe Hydraulic-Legs-Warren Axe Whiskey-Totin'-Roger-the-Rock-Grinder and RB-One-Kenobi
(Jedi-Knight)
