Irish drifters?

[flyinlow]

So a few of us were doing some bushwhacking/skinny blue lining this past weekend, middle of nowhere all the way back in ramseys draft VA off the sinclair hollow trail. Out of know where 5 sketch looking guys come out of the bushes surrounding us and just stand there. One of them says "you dont belong here. you need to leave and dont come back" with an extremely strong irish accent. So given that none of us decided to pack that day, we get the hell out. One of the guys with me knows some of the forest service guys out that way and told him about it. Off the record they have had issues in that area pretty frequently with backpackers being run off, and have things stolen in the middle of the night. Apparently there is a band of irish drifers who migrate around va, wva, nc, tn, and kentucky and stay extremely well hidden and use that area as one of there 'camps". For those of you from around this area its in the same area that Bobby fitzgerald went missing last year and hasnt been seen since. Just wanted to see if anyone else has any other experience with these guys, or other info.

It's a group that keeps people off my stretch of water. 

In all seriousness though, you better fish with a buddy or be packing in that area.  I've heard similar stores from that area but not on that stream.  Surprised that happened on that stream considering I run into 30 hikers everytime I'm up there.  How high up on it were you?

P.S.  I'm against stream name dropping, but this stream gets dropped by everyone in VA it seems.

Any girl that has a little giggle orgasm every time she shoots a gun is a welcome addition to any Irish hobo busting party, or anywhere, anytime. You got her number? Shit...nevermind.

It's easy to protect yourself from the Irish....get them drunk they'll be your best friend.

Gid created whiskey so the Irish will never rule the earth
