“might try to do a TX trip.. in november.. chili's idea.. but might be a few more. skully might go.. and i am up for it for sure.. shoot.. might even tlak me into driving. who else we got that wants to get past the talking stage?” 12:15:55 PM 12/08/01 “Going from Memphis, via van. First week in November (the week before the first Saturday in November). So far it is: chili36 TownDawg skully Who else?” 12:29:37 PM 12/08/01 “How far would it be from Detroit? I might be able to go. Work would be a factor at that time of the year, though.” 12:33:07 PM 12/08/01 “laqtis, it is 1100 miles from Memphis” 12:36:37 PM 12/08/01 “Not sure I can create a link without the cheat sheet. But I will try with the Big Bend web page. The NPS page is down. Big Bend National Park ” 3:07:05 PM 12/08/01 “See note on other thread. Skullcap to my house, pick up TD, pick up Chili, go to TX. I loooove my suv! LOL” 3:07:45 PM 12/08/01 “sounds like a plan to me,,,,” 3:10:43 PM 12/08/01 “I've wanted to do a roadtrip...(never been out west)...so, count me in too.” 3:18:40 PM 12/08/01 “GOOSE.. memphis, or at least to me house.. assume you wuld drive?.. and not fly?” 3:58:36 PM 12/08/01 “unless the bpbaby/skully caravan makes a sidetrip to georgia.. *lol*.. could come to nashville possibly.. but my vote for you wuld be to get ya to my house.” 4:00:00 PM 12/08/01 “Yall are planning a trip for a year from now?!?!” 4:13:55 PM 12/08/01 “Why not WD? Montana trip? I do it for big trips all the time.” 4:24:18 PM 12/08/01 “Naw, I ain't going on the Montana trip.” 4:28:39 PM 12/08/01 “well.. hearing chili36 talking about the area.. HOOKed me.. so hey.. why not.. ? *smiling* I just am encouraging him to send a note to Phil and get it on the schedule, if he is serious.” 6:02:29 PM 12/08/01 “I'd love too but I don't think it's in the cards. ..but.. The cards frequently get reshuffled. TD weren't you trying to do the Montana trip also? How much time do you get a year?” 7:20:39 PM 12/08/01 Speaking of Texas “How dare you people plan a hike in Texas and not notify me, the most popular resident of this Lone Star State!! **POUT** I would even be willing to shuttle folks from Austin, San Antonio or Dallas airports. Big Bend is a 9 hour drive from central Texas where I am. You better count me in on this one, Dudes!! Tex” 9:37:48 PM 12/08/01 “There's backpacking in Texas?! ;o) Where is cockroach anyway?! Did he move out West and start a vineyard? Anyone ever hear from him?” 10:05:51 PM 12/08/01 “TD, I will email Phil and put this one on the calendar. I make this trip every November (at least for the past 10 years). Know the area well and plan on going as long as I am able. A year is a long time ot plan in advance, but anyone who is able to go is more than welcome.” 10:22:44 PM 12/08/01 “Sunshine I've not heard from Cockroach since the Fiery Gizzard trip earlier this year. He just kinda fell off the planet and didn't tell anybody.” 11:36:51 PM 12/08/01 “I think Montana is going to come up too soon.. and too expensive for me to go, HPM.. so when chili36 mentioned TX.. and in NOV.. I figured.. you know.. this might work..” 8:34:51 AM 12/09/01 “I'm excited about the illegal border crossing. I just can't wait to have a "the time I spent the night in a Mexican jail" story to tell!” 8:39:50 AM 12/09/01 “Don't forget to get a tattoo in spanglish!” 10:04:12 AM 12/09/01 “I bet we could get TownDawg to show us the proper way to ford the Rio Grande...we might want to hold his boots for him, though. LOL” 10:31:42 AM 12/09/01 “Hey TD, you up for a little Dawgpaddling? hehehe” 10:33:28 AM 12/09/01 “cute GOOSE.. hehe... don't you wait.. I am gonna fix ya up with 'some guys lil sister' once we get to MX.. then you WILL have something to tell about.. :)” 10:53:12 AM 12/09/01 “famous last words..."Lo siento mucho, soy estúpido gringo!" :)” 11:18:11 AM 12/09/01 “lol.. seriously.. I luv mexico.. so this is like a TRAIL crossing?.. over the mountains?.. AWESOME!!.. I am sooo intriqued..” 1:23:21 PM 12/09/01 “Hey, I did that crossing in Big Bend once. I waved to the Mexicans on the other side. They came over in a little boat. I paid them a buck. The disappointing thing was that the Mexicans were playing volleyball. Hard to have a great adventure with a bunch of Mexican Karch Karai's around.” 7:12:24 PM 12/09/01 “The rate is two bucks now,,,river is 15 feet wide,,,3 feet deep,,,,Boquillas has some problems as the Federales like to visit there,,,but Santa Elena is really laid back. Lunch is about 4 bucks,,,Carte Blanca is one dollar.” 8:08:49 PM 12/09/01 “How many days, chili36?.. and how many of them do I need to schedule for. A full week?.. plus a weekend or two?.. How many days should I plan for? Do I need to cut my March Georgia trip short a day or so, to leave enough vacaction left for November Texas with a side trip to pick up Mexican supplies?” 9:27:39 AM 12/10/01 “TD, if we leave on a Friday evening or Saturday morning, my plans would be to be home the following weekend no later than Sunday afternoon.” 9:31:20 AM 12/10/01 “All this temptation!!! I will keep my eye on this trip but already feel pretty committed to Montana. But wait - is there any reason I can't go on both trips????? Work? what's that? Home responsibilities? What's that?” 2:01:42 PM 12/10/01 “Exactly pepperDog, I'm experiencing the same dilemma. But I wanna go on both!!!” 2:04:25 PM 12/10/01 “So I need to save FIVE full days of vacation, plus both weekends?” 2:25:33 PM 12/10/01 “You can always call in sick from a cell phone.........” 3:05:28 PM 12/10/01 “Yeah TD, how many sick days can you save up?” 3:46:09 PM 12/10/01 “Of course TD, I could always call your boss,,,,tell him I am your lawyer,,,and that he shouldn't worry,,,I will have you out of the Mexican Jail in less than two weeks....LOL.” 8:46:07 PM 12/10/01
