“Man, those threads go back a long way. It was fun looking through a few of the early ones.

Good shots- Pepperdog”

“Thanks for all the pics folks. If y'all had just worn webcams on your heads, none of us would have to leave the safety of our computers to experience the outdoors.”

“Pepper! Why, oh why, would you include that pic. of me braiding Mike's hair? What is the look I'm sportin' there? Why am I making such a horrific face? What was wrong w/ me and how can it be explained?”

“your over medicated”

“His hair smells bad?”

“Let's see, noogie - you are braiding CMB's hair. Is there need for any more explaination for a funny look on your face??”

“Prowler, that was frickin' funny!! Pathman, he didn't have any bad funk about him. Pepper, maybe it is a look of amazement that he was sitting still?!? LOL!”

“Yah, but does it rock?”

“SteveHiker - forgot Newgirl's Backcountry Adventure (116).”

“Steve, honey-baby, how did you ever forget me? LOL!”

“I've got my pictures back, but think y'all might be picture-out at this point.

Do you want me to scan some and post the link to webshots or have Y'all had enough? (I've got a great shot of Sarabelle and Gizmo watching the fire!)

Your call!

Tex”

“We want to SEE 'em! Pretty please.”

“"Do you want me to scan some and post the link to webshots or have Y'all had enough?"

Tex
Keep posting the pictures. I have been really busy at work this summer and my only backpacking has been looking at the pictures and dreaming. I was fine until I saw pictures of you, Gojo and OM. It's just different when you look at pictures of people you have hiked with before. I really want to get to hike with you guys again. Montana looked so cool.
It's going to be September before I can even think about getting away.”

“Have we all had enough?! Are you kidding?! Bring 'em on!!!!”

“Check out this pic of some other group from Cooke City... Gizmo and CMB are on the far left side. Gizmo is still driving.

Where's Gizmo?”

“Thats a cool pic Aero!

8D”

“Gizmo's easy to spot. Where's CMB's hat??”

“Tex, I want to see them.”

“Tex - of course we want to see your photos!!! How are you doing, by the way. I look forward to hiking with you again.

aero - that is a very cool picture!!”

“Tex, yes please put your pics up where we can see them. I, for one, could never tire of seeing pics of newgirl the Beartooths...”

“What an adventure! I'm definately taking time to go next year!

BTW - Newgirl is kinda cute.:)”

“Aero, that pic. is too funny.

We are ready and waiting Tex.

Buddha . . . "kinda'?" Only kinda'? HeHeHe! I'm just kidding people. I'm sure you can all breathe a sigh of relief now though. It turns out that I'm not a fat old man trolling for young boys.”

“Aero, check your e-mail!”

“Looking forward to the pics, Tex

Hey Crazy Mike- Where's your hundred pictures?”

“OK, since Y'all are gluttons for punishement, I'll scan the pictures tonight and post a link to webshots.

Hodgeman, do you think you could add my link to your webpage once I get it done? Please?

Thanks all!!

Flatlander, it has been too long since our Ocala trip in January. Any chance you can make the Sipsey trip in late sept?

Om said something about a kayak/hiking trip in Florida in the Fall. Are you interested at all?

Hey Pepperdog!! Thanks for all the good conversation..kept me going on day two through all the elevation gain! Can't wait for the next hike!

Tex”

“Tex - reload that page... your 'headshot' and link are waiting for you”

“Hodge - you da bomb. Love the links you have to everyone's photo pages. Thanks for using a half-way decent picture of me for my link. I assume that pictures I add to my album will be accessible through the link??”

“Pep - That link goes to your 'thumbnail' page on webshots. If you create another album, with a different URL, I can add another link, like I did with Aero and Geezer's”

“Hodge - If I get inspired I will just add to that album.”

“I know I am waiting for the site manger to get back up on the clubs website and then I am going to upload all of them.

The pic's that pepperdog tok kick all forms of @ss!

8D”

“Great pictures Yall! It's nice to see a bunch of TTers all hanging out having a good time!”

“Was this your first backpacking trip ever?

If so, Congrats!”

“This wasn't my very, very first trip, but it was my first really real trip. It kicked all forms of a$$ and included both group and solo hiking for me. Gooood times.”

“Yep, CMB's rubbing off on you already. Better get a bath.”

“People can get CMD very quick and there is no cure for it!

8D”

“...'cuz Montanapalooza came and went. Without me. :-(”

“This was obviously THE trip!!!

Good grief...I'm glad I wasn't there, cause I would have had to carry nothing but film and no gear...AMAZING!!! I am soooooo wanting to go to Montana now...not only for the no speed restrictions, but now for the water falls...if there is magic left in the world, it lives in water...and you all captured the water in all its amazing glory.

and the lightening strikes...how cool!!!

Aero, please forgive the previous statements that I made, this was the perfect trip...Prowler...why'd you go and mess this thing up?

Man o man...you guys must be dreaming THE coolest dream scapes now and forever.

Thanks for the easy links Hodgman.”

“"Flatlander, it has been too long since our Ocala trip in January. Any chance you can make the Sipsey trip in late sept?

Tex
Not sure about Sipsey. I do have a week off in Sept, but kind of have my heart set on doing somemore of the AT.

I would be interested in any trip in Florida!! Keep me in the loop on any of those. Big Coop and HPM and I have thrown out some ideas, but no real plans yet.”

“So, who's yet to check-in since Palooza?

The Snow's are in the Winds, I guess..... Gojo and Belle are on holiday 'til about the end of the month..... Where's Jerbear?..... Have we heard from OM, yet? Did I miss anyone?”

“Hey Stikmon ya its fun driveing out there going 100 and not getting into trouble I love it but wait I do that here in Indiana so does it matter?

8)”

“I'm at a library in Cornshuck, SD.

I hope to make it home by Friday pm.

This thread is OUTTA CONTROL! You guys have done some mahvalous picture stuff... I'll spend endless hours reviewing everything.

I had a blast!
Thanks Wytanans (esp Aero) for all y'all did to make Montanapalooza a rousing success...

More soon...”

“Hey Gojo - Thanks for checking in. I was just wondering about you. How's the rest of your trip been? How are the kids? Do ya miss us? Huh?

Here's all the picture links in one place
Pictures”

“I want to know if Sarabelle talked during the trip, or if she only types. :)”

“She said some things to me!

8)”

“Well.... I didn't hear her say much, at all. Of course, she had her man, Gizmo, along, so there wasn't much need to bother with us humans”

“I'd love to hike with Belle, again, and get to know her better. She's definitely a purdy lady. I hope yer leg's gittin' better, Belle, so there'll be more goooood times!”

“I like the "photo-op" shot!

Great pics everyone!”
