Paging bpbaby

“To answer your question.. some folks will come in Friday.. others Saturday morning.. I have always tried to make sure there is something for everybody.. Some folks will want to participate in the cooking challenge.. others will want to just EAT.. some folks will enjoy judging.. If you need an official itinerary.. I will try to get one drafted for you.

:)”

“I am currently working with REI and Blue Ridge Mountain Sports to get some prizes donated..”

“but so far, the level of interest appears to be huge.. it could easily swell into an annual event with corporate sponsorship.”

“My current plans are to set up camp at Small Wilds which is 1.5 miles from the Foster Falls trailhead, and then dayhike from the Fiery Gizzard trailhead back to Small Wilds.

I do not intend to 'backpack' the trail. I intend to backpack my overnight equipment into Small Wilds, and then dayhike the trail.

Once I get back to Small Wilds, I intend to kick chili36's butt in the cooking championship.

:)”

“TD, that is funny, heck it is hysterical, I am LMAO!! Lay off of the Jack Daniel's, it is causing you to sink into a fantasy world! One test of my entry and you will get a headache....because your tongue will be slapping the roof of you mouth so hard just begging for another bite. LOL, this has made my day....”

“Now, boys!! LOl Hey, who are the judges for this event??

Thanks for clearing that up for me TD, just need to know what I am getting into down there.

I may do the backpack anyway, gotta think this over. LOL”

“I thought we were camping at Raven Point?”

“I am a judge (Towndawg said so) and I cannot be bought..well, I can, but my discriminating palate can NOT!!

Hear that Chili? Stop the bribes already!!”

“Darn it Tex,,,I told you not to squeal on me....”

“WD: RavenPoint really sucks water wise.. let's overnight at Small Wilds.

That way, the lightweights can drag in their kegs and tarps.

:)”

“Rabbittman has agreed to judge also.. and I tihnk Biz is?”

“TD, do you think a nice Chilean merlot would compliment the Chicken and Ancho cream sauce over Penne' pasta?”

“I am calling REI and BRMS today.. I am really trying to elevate this thing to something of note.

(in spite of your lame-a$$ attempts to be mr chef there, chili36)

*poke* *poke*”

“Lame?? Hmmmm,,,change that "e" to a "b"...hey TD, have you ever dehydrated any lamb?”

“nopers.. but I bet it would work..

btw.. REI just said yes.. they are interested.

:)”

“good,,,I will work out my recipe while I am in Texas...might even have to stop off at Pendery's in Dallas for the secret spice....”

“TD, I will check with Pendery's to see if they are interested in sponsorship...they are a spice company in Dallas and they carry dehydrated veggies as well. They have a multitude of products that are "cooking" related and this might be something they are interested in. Penderys”

“I WILL find something to beat your entry, chili36.. count on it.

:)”

“bpbaby called me a few minutes ago, and pledged her support in helping me pull this thing off logistically.

:)”

“What the heck is this? The first annual TT Chili Cook-off?? LOLOL!! And how did TownDawg and chili36 get to the finals? Did they win their regional championships??!?!

heheheehee”

“Looks like you are going to have some first class judging there Towndawg. I just want it known up front that me and my discriminating palate can be bought. LOL

BTW Rabbitman only has one "T" (note to self: minus points for Towndawg) oops! looks TD has some ground to make up.

Just kidding.....maybe”

“LMAO..”

“Rabbit: So you got my judge's sheet done yet?”

“I'm going to start at Grundy Forest Saturday Morning and I'll see yall in camp that afternoon.
Small Wilds is to close to walk. Just about the time ya get in a groove,,,,,, Hikes over.”

“uMmm. duh.. WD?.. that's the point..

Small Wilds is the destination. All of us will start at the Grundy Forest side..

The only folks that will come in from the Small Wilds side are the ones coming in Friday night. Saturday, they will get up and go to the Grundy Forest side with the rest of us.”

“OK. I thought you were planning to start from Foster Falls side all of a sudden. Are we gonna set up a Shuttle?


When you said:
"My current plans are to set up camp at Small Wilds which is 1.5 miles from the Foster Falls trailhead, and then dayhike from the Fiery Gizzard trailhead back to Small Wilds."
That was what made me think that's what you ment.”

“I'm confused! Could someone
puh-lease translate this into english..of sorts??”

“Sure thing!

Understand now?”

“Loosely translated Tex, WD's messages states that chili36 is a superb chef and will impress you with his culinary skills.”

“lol... we are going to have a great time.. that's the only translation you need.. regardless of whether you backpack, dayhike.. or just slum around.. it is going to be great.. trust me on this one.”
