What Does Your PH User Name and/or Avatar Mean?

Cool Matt, it has been a little while, mais je parle un petit peu de français... je l'ai étudié pendant trois ans. (j'ai l'étudié?)

And yes I had to do some research to remember the passé composé conjugation, the word "pendant", and to look up if it's "de français" or "du français", and I'm sure I still made mistakes

Yup, Yo T-Roy what up dawg!!

Je l'ai étudié pendant trois ans is correct.

[OneSpeed]

I got the trail name "OneSpeed" on a thru-hike of the Oregon PCT in 2005. First, somebody said that no matter what the terrain, I only have one speed. Then they saw me go up a hill slowly, and assumed I would go down it faster, but when I also went down slowly, they said I "hike like a guy on a one-speed bike." (Try tearing down a hill on a one-speed sometime).

So it's not because I have one speed and it's "go," as some people have thought. I ain't fast. Just steady.

My avatar is me on top of Mount Whitney in 2010.

[weathercrazy]

My name is pretty self explanatory!!!

The data behind the name? I probably have more data spreadsheets than some small businesses.

I can tell you the weather for any day back to December 1st, 1995 ...and all off of my own data, not the internet. Although now I also store data online as another back up.

My hiking, weather and photography passions go together VERY well!

The picture? Me at Wahkeena Creek...several years ago now that I look at it...

[TJ_T]

Mine is... my name.

My photo is me on the Eagle-Tanner cutoff last summer.

Pleasure!

[Excursionista]

In 2006 I quit my job and flew to Barcelona to meet my best friend who was studying there. After his classes ended, we backpacked for a month and half all over the continent. On that trip, we called ourselves "Excursionistas," the Spanish word for hiker.

Or so I've been led to believe. I don't speak Sanish and I wouldn't put it past my friend to pull a joke on me... Regardless, I used the word as my avatar when signing up here.

My pic is a self-portrait at sunset on a beautiful November day at the tip of Cape Kiwanda. I had to crop out a beer. My beard is still the same size, but my hair is now half-way down my back...

This is a great thread.

[Waffle Stomper]

My avatar photo is my first ever walking stick that I made while I was on my Wahtum Lake through hike and needed a support =D. Now it's my loaner/backup stick lol.

Ha! I always thought your avatar was a picture of some monster crack in the Utah desert, now I find that it is just a walking stick.

Ha ha! I did too.
