Shinning Rock Pictures

“Oh man! That picture of bpbaby in the yellow got me ALL excited! I took one look at that and knew I wanted it. No! Not that! I want that MSR Titanium kettle!”

“So, You only like her for her gear?!?!”

“From that pic with you, Mr.Dude...them rocks really do shine!”

“Yeah Buddur, The reason they're so white is cause it's quartz. You can see that big chunk sticking out of the side of the mountain miles away.”

“Hells bells, I scanned the thumbnails and thought that was snow. Kikey get the shades on!

"So, You only like her for her gear?!?!"

No, she's very nice also...but mostly for the Ti Kettle!”

“Where's the sno?”

“Cool pictures! Good people shots! Hope to join you guys sometime.”

“Nice pictures. Interesting collection that seems to emphasize the people more than the place, very nice!”

“LOL, Nigal, I'll let you use the kettle...no strings attached.”

“Steve
We just got a dusting of snow. If you look at the pic of me next to my bivy, You can see it. It was flurrying pretty good on the walk out the Shinning Rock.

Snow Nymph
Bring your Dude and come on over to this side of the USA and We'd be glad to put yalll on some great trails.

Shinning Rock Wilderness was beautiful! Some wanted to stay a little warmer and the rest of us didn't want the group to be split so we ALL stayed together. ECTers are like a Big family. Sometimes it's more like a Family Reunion than just a BPing trip.”

“Great pics!”

“where's evergreen?!”

“She didn't make it on this trip.”

“oh. i thought i saw a post or two from her.”

“...about going on the trip.

not just a post! LOL!”

“Great pics, walkindude. I'll most likely have mine posted early next week.”

“NOW i know why swissy said that rolex was now the 'abominable snowman'!

he's not THAT abominable, tho! LOL!!!!”

“That white rock looks really cool. Why is it so white and what's it composed of??”

“quartz. white quartz. hmmm....”

“Great pictures of everybody! That Cold Mountain shelter is a real surprise! Glad everyone had a good time.”

“Excellant pics Walkindude. I like it when people include a bunch of shots of the folks they've hiked with.

Just out of curiousity, how many pictures did you take over the weekend?

Looks like you guys had weather similar to ours last weekend. We didn't hightail it to any hotel though! KIDDING!!”

“"LOL, Nigal, I'll let you use the kettle...no strings attached."

Kind of like a one night boil? And I don't have to call you the morning after?

DEAL!”

“My filter won't let me go there - d'oh!

I'll see if the media specialist can hook me up with an override password...”

“Sarabelle is a cutie, Ill bet her and Buddur would get along well.

Mmmmm and that's Milky Quartz, if you remember from yer Physical Geology 101.”

“makin' Buddur-belles?!?!?!”

“Ok I am confused. Is it called Shinning Rocks because you all got your shins beat up against the rocks? Is it mispeled on the sign in your first picture? Or is it really called Shining Rocks because they are white and shiny?”

“it's "shining"”

“Walkindude does more walkin' than spellin'... but he's no Ice Tea!”

“Cool pics. Literally. Looks very chilly and everyone is so bundled up.

man, that is a stylin' approach shelter -- far cry from the A trail ones I've used.

Looks like a fun trip. I'll have to hook up on a trip the next time I come through ATL.”

“was it a whole neighborhood of approach shelters?”

“Great pictures,..Thanks for sharing them with us!”

“Ice Tea would probably spell it shyning rocks....as if they were a wee bit bashful or something.”

“Thanks everybody. Glad you like the pictures.
Yeah, My spelling sucks sometime. Would you believe I won the School Spelling Bee in 5th grade?!?! No sh!t. As long as I don't get asbad as Ice Tea I recon I'll be OK. LOL.”

“Congratulation WD, I never won a spelling bee. I kept forgetting to say the word before spelling it.”

“asbad = as bad.
I need help!
LOL !”

“Bad spelling, or typo? The world may never know ¦ )”

“Dude, sorry bro, you are too far gone for any help now to make a difference..LOL

Stay as crazy as you are!! ;-)”

“I'll do my best.
..........or worst
