Thank you about the pic's...:)”

“Whats going on TT'ers?Well the clubs turnout for this weekend was 3 not bad.The weather was not that good though.Sat me and Prowler set out of the Grubb Ridge Loop to hook up with 2scoops.From there me and Prowler explored patton cave he had a blast in there.After that we had gone about 2 miles on the Grubb Ridge Loop and set up camp.As soon as we got camp set up it started to rain.So we all turned in early.On Sunday when we got up it was snowing and that was cool and the Temps had dropped into the teens so it was kind of cold.After we broke down camp we all took off for the last 6.5 miles left of the trail.Me and Prowler had put it in our minds to Trek the last 5 or 6 miles of the trail so we got done quite fast.2scoops keep up too which I was very proud of him.I have new pictures up so if you would like to check them out here is the link.

“Sorry about the small link size.......8)”

“So what did everyone think of the pics?I know not that many this time.

“Crazy Mike, as a semi-retired photojournalist, I always like to see the pics of hikers on the trail, or of campsites. Gives a better perception of what the bping conditions in the area are. Pretty scenics are nice, too, but often don't tell the "story" of the trip. So keep up with the people pics.

I still kick myself that I forgot to use my micro tripod to get a pic of myself on the trail or in camp when solo out in ND. My campsite pic loses some scale with only the tent and pack in the view.”

“I love to take pictures!

“Cool trip, thanks for the report and pictures”

“who was it that would appear?
twas Town Doggy of course,
totin’ his backpacking gear.

The KT KICKS ASS! Welcome to the Indiana flatlands. lol! Mixed in with some rain to fill the normally dry creek beds made for a really great time to tackle all those knobs.

Always great to meet new TT'rs . . . "Crazy Town Dawg" and "Crazy Prowler".

Don't know just what all those ingredients were in TD's cajun cookin' . . . but it sure was good! And big thanks to TD for convincing/ordering the Prowler to join in on the fun. BTW TD, be careful with those "behind the scenes" stories. I'm sure we all remember one "scene from behind" that was . . . well, shall we say, not pretty! *very big grin*

thanks for the great time to all . . . can't wait for the KT, Part II.
