Apart from your handsome self TJ, I don't recognise who's who in all your pics :-) How about some captions? Or at least a few names in the hover-over-pop-up-text thingy?

DB: Sorry. Captions now added just for you.

TJ - I didn't realize you were so furry... like, all over your face, arms, hands, etc.! Nice "action shot" strutting amongst the boulders.

Thanks for adding the captions. The last one leads me to a question. I am not from the My Space generation so I really don't know. Is there a difference between activity partners and fuck buddies? No, really?

DB: No real difference. Activity partners do things together like biking, hiking, white-water rafting, skydiving, and extreme badminton. And then they engage in hot, sweaty, masc sex.

What a pleasant surprise! You and Jimbo have treated us to some beautiful pictures of hunky guys in the great outdoors.

Who says you are not photogenic? I think you make the camera drool.

Thanks for brightening my day. It is always nice to see pics of you and Rob with some buds. ;)

What's it with some gay men and their obsession with forced marches. Shouldn't there have been drinks or something?

or at least canapes` and tapas

your all still ridiculously good looking

boomer: masc buds are incapable of saying the word 'sex' so they say 'activity partner' instead.

atari_age: You didn't see pictures of food, but that morning my masc buds bought enough food for 4 days in the wilderness - and ate it all in under 4 hours. And all they talked about was food, recipes, and how hungry they were.

Are there applications somewhere to apply for 'activity buds'? Just curious...

Damn man...you were in my back yard off of skyline drive....Wish I had known.....

Oh well.....DAMN

T

Thanks for the captions .. At least now I don't have to say "that guy closest to the camera in the second picture is hot". Instead: Josh is hot.

I want an activity buddy. I'm with Drew. Where can I get an application??! LOL :P Great pics TJ. Looks like you guys had a great time. Bear hugz...grrr.

Yeah I have to agree..........you and Josh were the hottest guys there.

DB: Thanks, but Rob, Josh and Jimbo were the hottest. Then Bigfoot. Then me and Mr. Bill (tied). But we were just hiking, not participating in America's Next Top Masc/Musc/Mil Activity Bud -- though Jimbo was still voted off at the end.

Are those your "blogbuds"!!!

I assume that when guys talk about rugged outdoorsiness and they aren't out, they mean hunting (cock under stall partitions), swimming (in back rooms with floors soaked in...) and fishing (for compliments of their str8 acting, str8 appearing drama).

Ahhh the long sleeve T under the short sleeve T. It's my favorite fall look.

Ah, hiking... My favorite pastime. Looks like you guys had a great time. So, that's what "activity buds" are? I wondered why none of them ever actually wanted to go hiking...

wait wait hold the horses....There has been a development. Wtfudgepacking is Rob wearing for shoes? are those galoshes? I'm calling the fashion police on you, and everyone knows they are the only police force that matters in DC!

DB: I think you're referring to Jimbo's shoes, not Rob's. Guess I should have labeled that pic too. And yes, I think they were galoshes, similar to these.

Tim -

From what I have read on TJ's and Jimbo's blogs, they may also be the only police force in DC that would respond...ever!

Betches: those are wool socks, and you cannot see the polypropelyne liners underneath that prevent blistering on particularly long trips.

A patch of shade obscures the boots I had taken off to cool my feet. These superior backpacking boots are Vasque Sundowners, the only brand I've ever worn for 10+ years. Waterproof, comfortable, and no blisters - ever.

Jimbo, I love your Moon Boots in that picture. I can't figure out why T.J. looks so tiny laid out on the rock next to you like that, though.

Where are all the shirtless pics? I feel so deprived damn it. lol

ahh i c says the blind man. It is indeed JImbo's boots. I guess we shouldn't have been so tough on the prisoner. I'm sure those lash marks will heal nicely.

Jimbo, jimbo, if God had wanted us to wear shoes that worked instead of shoes that just looked good, there would still be tailors in every town. Two demerits and your next sweet love will be a charming, handsome, well balanced republican that your family simply adores.

Aaron basically just said I'm fat (TJ totally Photoshopped that picture to make him look smaller), and Tim is dissin' my lesbian hiking boots.

DB: I didn't photoshop anything; it's just the angle of the shot that makes you look a little THICK.

...husky

it's charming though

I've never really wanted to go hiking so much in my life.
