Hey!

[brett]

First, I'd love to say hello and give a thank you to everyone in this community. I moved to the Portland area about two years ago. Since I first arrived, I've been using OregonHikers.org and the snow reports on this forum to plan almost every trip. I really appreciate all the effort and good will everyone invests here.

Welcome, Brett! Looking forward to your reports now that you're here!

Welcome

Have you done any interesting hikes recently?

this is a "turing test" to see if you're a real human or a bot

[Aimless]

Welcome! Jerry's making a joke. Lately we've been getting a surplus of posts from "new members" that are bots.

If Brett replied then I'd be pretty sure he wasn't a bot

Hey, definitely not a bot

The last hike I did was a trail run at Broken Top—out & back from the Greenlake Trailhead to No Name Lake.

I'm always looking for condition reports and new ideas, and am always checking out the forums here, so I figured I'd sign up.

That is a very clever bot to say it's not a bot

Welcome bot

[adamschneider]

That's exactly what a bot would say!!

(Forgive Jerry, he's our resident bot-detecting bot.)

Sorry guys, that was a bot from Singapore - now banned.
