8)”

“Hey CnC there was a lil more to contend with than ICM this time . . . they're called KNOBS . . . freakin KNOBS!

He said he didn't bring tang . . but it sure looked like it in his water bottle. Just hope it wasn't a mix up with that other bottle he uses in his tent at night! lol!”

“Wind, rain, mud, and now knobs...why am I not surprised that ICM's trips always have to include these in some fashion or another!....lol I heard that you guys did some serious groundpounding though! That's why we have to keep looking for Mike's "easy" trips (you know the ones that are only 8 mile days....done in 2.2 hours though)...:)”

“You guys are too funny!!!!!!

8)”

“hmmmmmm . . . 2.2 hrs? must have gotten a break or two to take that long! 8)”

“Ya right!!!!!!

8)”

“LOL...yeah, one of ICM's infamous 15 sec. (err, mean 15 minute) rests...

BTW ICM....Sierra Trading Post just called, they said you hadn't ordered anything in the last hour and half and they were worried something had happened to you..lol”

“LMAO @ CnC!”

“Sounds good sb...as soon as you let me know I'll go ahead and order the tickets for the boat.

Also, Mike where are planning on starting the April 6-7 hike?”

“At the Seaton Creek Campground!
And going to the creek by mile marker 8 on the Manistee river side so that would mean almost 14 miles the first day!

“dude lets do it all on sat and then again on sun . . . in the opposite direction!”

“Yeah, we can hang but why go from the northern end of the trail..why not from the Coates hwy bridge up the NCT and then over to MRT around mile 3 (past the waterfall area)?”

“oh yea, can ya hang?”
