Michigan Hikers! (and Ohio friends)

“SG - I had a little problem w/ this morning's meeting as well. It was scheduled for 9am. I've had meetings every day this week that have started at something:30. So I had it in my head that I had to be at the client's at 9:30... I realized it about 15 minutes too late. Oh well, they were nice about it!

My days are running together and I can't keep my meetings straight.

I have given so many presentations this week that my throat hurts and my voice has been cracking.

My office is really hot today.

I have an exam tonight for which I am still not prepared...

SOOOOO... I, too, cannot wait for this weekend.

(Sorry 'bout all the complaining. Had to get it off my chest)”

“I hear ya Tara, the days are running together here too. And I'm sure the weekend will be no different, especially with the alcohol!

I have a bottle of rum I bought in Grand Cayman this spring -never been opened- I'll do my best to remember it this weekend!”

“One more day at work and off I go to hoosier national forest.I can't wait.I wish I could quit my job and backpack all the time that would be great.”

“Sooo . . . looks to be a bit nippy this weekend . . . anyone hear anything about any accumulations of the white stuff yet?”

“Mike - I had this message for you on the other thread . . . I know you missed it because you surely would have replied . . . so I just copied it here for you on this thread.

"Hey mike - what are your plans for the following weekend? You sure do backpack alot . . . not sure I could keep up with ya! But I see you have been to many of the same places that I have, but why not the Knobstone yet?

BTW, what city do you live near. I sometimes travel to Merrillville . . . for business . . . and stop at the Sportmart there just east of that Eastlake Mall on the corner of I65 and US30. I think that's the name of the mall . . . isn't it?"”

“SB, I just checked the weather. High is mid-30 low is high-20.”

“I am going to Morgan Monroe state forest.If you would like to go send me email.iluvbackpcking@yahoo.com

take care and happy hiking.


Mike”

“Thanks Birch, but any word on possible snow accumulations? Just want to make sure I'm not driving into any blizzards.

Mike - let me know what city you live near . . . got your e, but it looks fairly generic . . . no real info beyond what's been posted.”

“Sorry SB. No snow predictions. Its december and who knows....see ya saturday!”

“My favorite weather place, Weather Underground, has a 40% chance of snow showers (no real accumulation) forecast for Fri. nite & Sat., 60% on Sun.

Tarabull, will ya be wearing funny, oops I mean cool, pants this time?

Sassy, have ya figured out your surprise yet?

See y'all tomorrow!”

“No I haven't figured out my surprise! No one tell me. :o( If I had access to Binra I'm sure I would've pried it outta him by now.”

“What a beautiful, crisp fall evening...

I just hacked down a Christmas tree. Glad to do my part for worldwide deforestation...

I'm so excited about this trip, I think I'll pack tomorrow afternoon...

My friend Robert cancelled on me. I'll pay for any extra food alloted to him, Tarabull.

Mike”

“Cow Patty, I am stil here, and that means I'll be driving all day tommorrow. No side hikes for me. I'll see ya at the cabin.

Somebody... please bring a fun board game!

I'm ready for the long drive ahead, and looking forward to mny last TT outing for awhile!”

“Ok, Buddha Bear, have a safe drive & we'll see ya at the cabin. I'll still be moseying along a trail tomorrow.”

“BB - how come it will be your last TT outing for a while?

I'm bringing Uno and Cranium.

I've been up since 4:30 this morning, I havn't been able to sleep very well this week. Finished up my resume, got that sent out this morning. Maybe I can catch a nap on the ride up today. Although with Sassafrass' singing... :)”

“Cow Patty - No "cool" pants this weekend. Sorry to disappoint.

RL - no worries about your pal's share of food. We bought enough for a bunch of people. I don't think there is a big difference between 14 and 15...

I hope we bought enough and not too much. I had no idea how difficult it could be to buy food for that many! We'll soon find out how well I did. If there isn't enough... Binra and I will just starve.

We should be on the road by noon. (Really, my goal is 11... but I know Binra so I'd be suprised if that happens!)

See ya all there.”

“I've got the Yatzee, Newsprint for pictionary and Trivial Pursuit!”

“Twister?”

“Anyone for charades?

I'm outta here!”

“That cranium game has parts that you have to do charades in. It also has playdoh sculpting and pictionary parts! CP, you can do all the charades parts. :o)

I'm not flexible enough for twister! It would be a hoot with 14 people though.”

“Hello everyone I am going on a overnighter to Charles C.Deam wildreness this weekend.Where are all you cool people going?

Happy hiking

Mike”

“Lets see the weather my friend bailed..........Well at least I can hang out here and post messages here on TT......

Nooooooooooo another lost weekend............it's the end...

Ha ha just kidding...”
