MOUNTAINGNOMES' OFF-ROAD SCRAMBLIN'

THE GREAT WESTERN TRAIL:
The.Great Western Trail (GWT) is actually much more than a trail, but rather a corridor of trails and passageways designed to serve the many types of trail interests and users. Using whatever was available, travelers in the Old West made their way by foot or horseback, or by using a variety of vehicles including wagons and water craft as they moved between communities, over mountain passes, down rivers, and across valleys. And so it is today along the Great Western Trail as the magic and romance of the Old West unfolds once more to recreational enthusiasts from across the nation and many foreign countries. Opportunities exist for hikers, horseback riders, boaters, mountain bikers, cross-country skiers, and off-road vehicle and snowmobile riders to traverse this scenic and culturally rich area of our nation in a variety of ways.

GNOMES' NEWS and VIEWS

From the editor:
New Seal:
Well, how appropriate!! A new seal for the Democratic Party. It just says it all, huh folks?! Ohhhh...Boooohooohooo....

It's Good Buy to Uncle AL the Welfare Pal :
Folks, I was raised in a Democratic household.....all I ever heard was, how the Democrats fight for the working man. Over the past 40 years here is what I have observed: Starting with Franklin Roosevelt, the Democrats have turned this Nation into a lazy, lowlife, welfare system. They have raped the working mans/womans paycheck, and given the money that he/she sweated for, to LAZY, ALCOHOLIC, DRUG ADDICTED LOW LIFES! There are those elderly and truely disabled, who do not get a sufficient amount to survive, because of these FREE GIVEAWAY PROGRAMS, that are encouraged and supported by and developed by the Democrats! When I see persons from their late teens, to up in their 50's, who are perfectly healthy and on welfare....IT'S REVOLTING! Generation after generation, born and bred on welfare, leeching off the sweat, blood and backs of the working man!! They blame society....I'm black...I'm brown.... I'm poor.....I don't have an education...we are underprivileged ......one excuse after another!! You have a mind, given to you by your creator!! You have choices....you made the easy one....hell, it's easier to take that welfare check! The state and feds pay for your bastard babys....they take money from the Social Security system to pay your prescriptions and medical bills, while those on Social Security, have to pay for their own prescriptions and eat dog food!! YOU want to talk about oppressed!! Look at the JEWS, 2000 + years of slavery and no Country of their own!! Look at them now, God help anyone who tries to enslave them again!! And NO, you don't hear them whining!! GET SOME SELF RESPECTand QUIT BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR LACK OF CHARACTER AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF!!

How to avoid swollen extremities during travel:
Sitting anywhere for long periods of time can make your feet and ankles swell and your legs cramp. When you're driving, be sure to take breaks at least every 90 minutes for stretching and walking around. If there's an empty seat next to you on a plane, train, or bus, put your feet up. Taking off your shoes may feel good, though if you're on an airplane your feet will probably swell during the flight. Keep your blood circulating by strolling the aisle and doing some simple stretches. If you're sitting or standing, stretch your leg, heel first, and gently flex your foot to stretch your calf muscles. When you're sitting, rotate your ankles and wiggle your toes.
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!
