“Gotta go to a friends party tonight. Elk hunting again in the morning. A wedding in the afternoon with reception and dancing to follow. Then elk hunting again on Sunday if Saturday is non-productive. Otherwise football.”

“Gonna get the garage set back up again. Built a 16 foot work bench and mounted my miter saw in the middle of it. I may start working on an entertainment center for the Grandkid too.”

“studying. no hiking. i'll be lucky if i don't shoot myself in the head, this weekend.”

“Day hike on the AT in Pa. Go directly to mall after the hike to start/finish Christmas shopping. I figure after 6-7 hours on the trail, I'll be ripe enough to clear out some of the crouds.”

“Today: Analyzed some data and got pumped over the results.

Saturday: Schoolwork & misc.

Sunday: Cooking Dutch oven dinner for 25 students and alums working on the Cal Poly Universities Rose Parade float. Should be fun.”

“Moving into my new house...Arrrgh... would much rather be on a trail somewhere!

“It's that annual race against the clock and calendar again! Can I just scream!!!! I want to be like Snow Nymph: "Bye, going to Mammoth again! See ya!".”

“The family is going to Taos for my son's high school hockey game. Aw, shucks. I guess I'll have to take my XC skis along.”

“Today: going to a Christmas party with a bunch of hillbilly rednecks I work with.

Tomorrow: Nelly Furtado concert”

“Last night,,,mmm make that until early this morning,,,Christmas Party,,,I have this vague recollection of dancing most of the night and my knees are telling me that it is mostly true.

Today, I think a short day hike may be in order at Shelby Farms.

Tomorrow, cooking dinner for a friend.”

“Gotta go Chrismas shopping...for myself, heh heh”

“Actually made it onto the trail for a dayhike yesterday. This was a break-in hike for the new boots - which were awesome. Went to Rock Springs Run State Preserve north of Orlando for about 8 miles of hot (82F) palmetto wandering. Maps and trails not well maintained which made for a little more adventure. Saw deer and a cotton mouth. Also discovered that the new tuna they sell in bags instead of cans works great for a dayhike.”

“big coop....you live in fla? want to join radagast and i next weekend for an ONF trip?
a cottonmouth eh?......i kept telling jerbear last weekend...".not to worry....no cottonmouth this time of year.".....yikes...heh”

“For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques' fair, what a scene


hahahahahahahahaha.......”

“om, thanks for the invite! I am indeed a fellow Floridian, I live in Orlando. I wish I could get out next week but wife and I will be visiting family in South Florida. I'm relatively new to TT so I look forward to meeting many of you on the ONF hike in February - will you be there? Is this weekend a scouting trip?

Your comment on cottonmouths got me wondering - I found this site (http://www.stetson.edu/~pmay/moc.htm) which was pretty interesting because it talks specifically about Florida flatwoods (which I'm sure you are all too familiar with.) The one I saw was only about 2 feet long and laying right in the middle of a dirt road - catching some rays.

Once again, thanks for the invite. I look forward to getting to know my fellow Florida hikers in the future.”

“big coop, yes this weekend is a preview, (for me)..rad has been there before.
that was an eye opening article on the cottonmouth.
i have seen what we call water moccasins while swimming, or hanging in branches over the rivers while kayaking/canoeing , but i have not "yet" encountered any vipers on land (i do more water oriented trips than hiking trips in florida , but that may change now that so many bp'ers are emerging from the swamps and jungles down here..:)
look forward to some florida hikes for sure(not in summer!! :) )
thanks for the article.”

“I think sat I am going to on a small day hike at HPNP.That is in Griffith Ind about 15 min's from hammond.If anyone would like to go drop me a line.....

“I will be doing a dayhike up Peavine Mountain, or one of the canyons associated with the mountain. It's time to try out some of my new stuff from REI.

No bag night though, unless its in the back yard.”

“13.5 Miles on the Tanawa Trail..anyone care to join me?”

“PAthman - I would go x-country skiing - but that's because I've never had an opportunity to try it. Sounds like great choices.”

“Yeah, most likely will go skiing. My only hesitation is the soreness of my thumb, my stiff right knee and the black and blue from knee to ankle on my right leg. I may go do some nice safe groomed trail skiing.

The joy is in the glide!”

“Going backpacking in Hoosier National Forest.Going to do the Axom branch trail.”

“I'm going to a Rail-to-Trails Saturday to check it out and right after that, I'm going to Franklin State Forest for an overnighter. There's still a section I've not done yet.”

“Pathman - sounds like a weekend in the hot tub might be better for you! - what'd you do last time - hit a tree?”
