IBERG (09/04/09)

Iberg: "Finding The Gideon's"


(hmmm. I drank a lot but I didn't think I had to vomit. F*ck! I'm not going to make it to the bathroom.)




"PUKE AND RALLY! TO THE BAR!"
----

Iberg would like to take this moment to extend his sincerest apology to the good people at the Chicago Downtown Holiday Inn. Sure he may have cleaned the vomit out of the drawer, but can something like that ever truly be clean again?

IBERG: 01/01/07 @ 3:20 am


"You realize that less than 40 minutes ago we were all really wasted and dancing with strange women...and now...we're in a hospital waiting room watching Ace Ventura 2?! Happy f*ckin' New Years!"

Northbound

The first time I approached a shelter other hikers had settled into I was nervous but that all faded quickly. In the beginning everyone is a stranger and for that reason people seem to open themselves up in efforts to make everyone else feel welcome. There is always something that people have in common.

"It is going to be a cold night so we decided to build a real fire!" Green Mountain Man introduced himself and Drifter. I knew that AT hikers adopted trail names but I didn't have one picked out for myself so I just gave them my name. March in Georgia can be very cold. There was no mercury to show it but I am sure it got down into the teens some nights. My sleeping bag was only rated for 25 degree weather. I was grateful for the company.

IBERG: The "surprise".

(Iberg is drunk. Iberg needs to vomit. What does Iberg do?)



"Hey...Buddy. This is my beer right?"
(Flash forward to man drinking his beer).
Morale: There are sometimes when it's OK to take a beer into the bathroom with you (more so when Iberg is around).

Knucklehead


Frankie takes Knucklehead's lunch for the third day in a row....

Northbound




What I ate for lunch was limited to whatever was still left in the food bag that day but the freedom to choose the location kept things interesting. In Spring the leafless trees allow for open views in the woods and especially at high points. I'd usually stop at a nice water source but I'm a sucker for a good view. The monotony of my lunches might frustrate other tastebuds but I'm fine with a bagel, peanut butter, cheese, trail mix, carrots, dried apricots, and an apple. The cheese and the apples were the first to get depleted from my foodbag because they are heaviest and the most delicious.

When I'd let my mind wander I'd often wonder at what was going to happen in Star Wars Episode 1. It was all very exciting.

IBERG: The Ryan Reynolds Story


"RYAN REYNOLDS YOU BASTARD!!! OPEN THE DOOR AND GIVE ME ALANIS MORISSETTE'S PHONE NUMBER!!!" (At this point Iberg is 100% blasted and 90% sure its Ryan Reynolds' room).

There is nothing like drinking water from a natural source. It gives you a deep connection with the environment because you rely on it and must find it. Most years water is prevalent all along the AT but some years drought makes water reliability scary. Water is not hard to come by in Spring. Rain flow merges with the occasional spring to wet the nooks and crannies of the hills and valleys. You can hear it well before you reach it and it is music to the ears. Some might say that water has no taste but I'll argue that the cold water you find in the back country is mostly delicious.

IBERG (08/06/09)

IBERG: The Germaphobe/Liar Story


Iberg's been drinking heavily. Iberg needs to vomit. In this state of dillusion Iberg is ashamed to admit he has to vomit. Reflecting back upon it, a sober Iberg doesn't care when people see him vomit. "Uh...I think I may need to take a dump. BAD!"


Running into the nearest gas station bathroom, Iberg proceeds to vomit all over the bathroom. Iberg is a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to strange bathrooms. Because of this Iberg doesn't want to touch anything (or come anywhere close to touching anything). Iberg proceeds to vomit all over the bathroom.



"Yeah, I can't take a dump in there. Some asshole vomit all over the place!"


Iberg is proud of himself. Later Iberg will sober up and feel bad for the gas station owner.
