Memorial Day weekend plans?

“Memorial Day is right around the corner. What are you guy's plans?

I'll be doing a two night trip in the Catskills with a couple of buddies. Route is still being debated. I can't wait!”

“I should go to the Pecos. Might be a time to do a dry run of a Loop backpack in the Sandias I've been working out. I've scouted the springs and trails, just need to connect the loop.”

“columbus ohio to visit family.”

“Backpacking with Crazy Mike and crew at Yellow River State Forest? (am I crraaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzeeeeeeee to do this???! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!)

lol

Mike, info, I need INFO, bro!! :-P”

“car camp with family
2 day hikes
1 horseback ride (my first)

all proceeded by a trip around the bft :}”

“MNT. LECONTE EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!

Going on Td's trip, hiking all five approach treails to Leconte in three days.”

“I plan to help LeSubtil celebrate his birthday. Hopefully the weather will be nice enough for a cook out and then on Sunday, there is a graduation party for two of my nephews. Lot's of fun!”

“My first bp outing of the year. I will do a weekend patrol in the San Gorgonio Wilderness. Hope to do the summit on Sunday. Should be interesting because water sources are low or dried up in a few popular camping spots so everyone will have to carry more water. I can't wait.”

“Me too. Planning on bringing my car camping stuff and relaxing in style in camp.

Is there gonna be enough room for a big (big for backpacking anyway) tent? My big tent will hold four, but I'm bringing along a double size air mattress. I could probably squeeze a couple more in if people need someplace to sleep.”

“"five approach treails to Leconte in three days."

six.

:)”

“Backpacking 3 nights on North Mantou Island in Michigan.

I can't wait!!!!!

“dirtyoldman--You are going to feel muscles you ain't NEVER EVEN know had!!!”

“Backpacking trip in Yosemite. Plan to hike the Chilnualna Falls semi-loop.”

“Work!”

“Let's see...Friday pick up Sauron from school, drive 400 miles to my Dad's house in Michigan. Spend the night there. Saturday morning, drive the 400 miles back to Kentucky. Load all of my wordly possessions onto a trailer and truck. Sunday, drive the 520 miles to my new home in Georgia. Oh yeah, it's going to be a great weekend.”

“I'll see all y'all LeConters on Sunday night.”

“Looks like Yellow River is off then. Hey, Mikey (just like the commericial)... let a person know if plans change, K? I was going by the trip list on your website and I see now (and from above) that it's changed.

Hmmmmmm... what to do for Memorial Day weekend....”

“Your name is not on the clubs email list is it?

Sorry about that.

8(”

“Still planning and looking forward to Mineral King for the long weekend.”

“Pool, beer, bbq, naps...”

“Driving 350 miles, one way to my wife's nephew's high school graduation party, which, I was just informed the nephew may not be at! (He's a problem child of late.)”

“Can't wait!”

“Tango... This isnt my first trip this year.. and Im not planning to carry the car to the camp sites. :}
Or did ya mean the horse ride? I wasn't planning to carry the horse either :P

In reality the horse ride does scare me a bit since ive never done it before and worse since i weigh a lot i will end up with a big one... (poor horse)...maybe its a secrect plan by my kids to get their inheritance sooner.”

“Backpack: Olancha Peak, south of Mt. Whitney. This will be a new area for us.

Anyone done this one?”

“You could help me move, heeheehee.”

“There ya go!

8)”

“Hey Skully, oh I can find things involving moving things to do around here...lol! But... good try! hehehe”

“Drat! Well, it was worth a try.”

“ok, revised Memorial Day plans. Big party at my house on Saturday, lots of beer and pizza. Then, on Sunday we'll move the party (ummm, and some other things) to Georgia. Ok, who's with me now?”

“Camping with about 16 girl scouts ages 7 and 9. Lots of planning to do.”

“I'm thinking of doing the grand tors trail. In the chena river rec area. Liz you can come with me if you want to. I don't bite to hard:).”

“Finishing up grading for the semester, which ends on the 24th. Normally I would put it off until after Mem. Day, but I have a 4-day curriculum design "train the trainer" seminar starting the 28th. Hope the rest of you have fun. Once summer school starts June 4th, I'll have 4-day weekends through the end of July, so I'll play catch up with everyone then.”

“Usually I don't go away on the big holiday weekends cause I hate the traffic, but it was the only May weekend that fit. I'm planning on hiking a mountain or two I haven't done yet or maybe a favorite I've done many times - depends on which trails are open.

After many late nights at work, my son's IRS audit from hell, and miscellaneous other bull#&%!$, I'm ready to go beat myself up in the woods. So lookin' forward to this trip!”

“Oh yeah - and Wednesday, I will finally, FINALLY be done school - it's the last final of my last class for my BS. I will be celebrating big time, already called in sick to work.”

“Constructing something extra neat outta cedar logs for the backyard. Plan #1: a small log playhouse for Abby. If there isn't enough cedar then Plan #2: a grape arbor with two benchs inside. I'll be drawing up rough plans soon. Oh, and a whole buncha relaxing and eatting and drinking. Hope the weather'll be nice. Maybe a day long canoe with the kidlet too.”

“6 days on the Beach in Gulf Shores, AL,,,,,,longest hike will be from the surf line to Bahama Bob's for a spider crab po'boy”

“Hey Kodiakman, granite tors is supposed to be a great trip. My son did it with scouts. Memorial Day weekend is almost always fabulous weather. Our favorite place to go that weekend was the Denali Highway. Usually warm, even hot, and dry.”

“I went to valdez last year but I think that im going to stay close to home. I'm all drived out after the trip to clam gulch.”

“I'm at North Manitou Island. Hey Crazy Mike...I may see you there, how will I know you.”

“wow, even with the offer of beer and pizza, no one's taken skully up on that fabulous offer?? i guess that's proof that moving sucks. i'm going to be pooped out on moving by that time, myself...Tarpy and i are planning to move to a place in Bethesda the weekend before that, woo hoo! we're going to go look at the apt. right...now! as a matter of fact. here's hoping it's not a total POS... ;-)”

“How will you know? He's Crazy! Look 'em in the eyes.”

“Sheesh! And they're not even the ones who have to do the packing and unpacking! ¦ P to all of you!!! ; )


Dhutch, are you crazy??? Just look for the human super ball. That's him!”

“Hey Dhutch I have long hair and I am crazy.

“If he's shouting and jumping around, with a huge grin on his face, he's definately crazy Mike.”

“Crazy, You should be easy to spot... I'll be there Sat-Mon. It's my first time on the island. Already have a ferry reservation and am looking forward to it. Tips anyone?”

“First Memorial Day weekend the family hasn't been committed to some organized outing in 7 years.

Planning a family campout/backpacking trip on the Ouachita Trail near the AR/OK border.”

“Tips for what to cook for 16 kids and 10 adults over a campfire, or on backpacking stoves? I'm thinking that fajitas might be good, with most things cut up ahead of time, and a vegetable platter, and cheese platter prepared ahead of time, might be good. Then smores from the campfire for dessert.”

“If you're not meat-averse, Johnsonville brats are pretty darn good cooked over a fire. Just be sure to poke some holes in the casing, and make sure they get completely done. If you don't want to worry about getting them cooked completely, pick a pre-cooked kielbasa or smoked sausage. Yummy!
Like hot dogs, only better.”

“I think that my husband is addicted to Johnsonville brats, but he won't be on this trip>:-)

That, or kielbasa is an idea, though, that I can offer at the menu planning meeting. I like kielbasa and eggs together, even for dinner.”
