Diva Trip

“Ok -so I'm caving in and taking some women from work out on a weekend trip. Since I've already taken a few before I know how risky it can be to take out novices. The ones who have gone before say I should give them the works-hills -rain-snakes-you know-"the works". I'm thinking I should tone it down a bit because these girls I grouped together for a reason-it's because they are ...how shall I say it - well they use words like-"yucky" and "I don't think so!"But they think they can hack it so...”

“With a moniker like that we KNOW you're gonna drag 'em through the mud, chase 'em with snakes amd advise 'em to pitch their tents in a gully!

hee-heee-heeeee!”

“bow-chicka-bow-bow”

“You could promise them jerbear in a thong when they reach camp....”

“I try to meet or at least manage expectations when I am taking folks out. That way the reality is not too much of a shock:

"Where's the lantern?"
"It's on my head - it's called a Tikka"
"Where's the stove?"
"Right here"
"That's a pepsi can - where's the Coleman?"
"Used to be, now it's a stove."
"Where's the bathroom?..."”

“sounds like a trail with shelters and moderate terrain is needed.
laurel highlands is a good one if ya cant find any local.

might wanna check the baggage before ya leave.... hairdryers ect.”

“Always make a first hike a match for the ability level of your group. I'd advise low miles, moderate climbs and really nice campsites.

Trial by fire gives only the most stalwart people a great experience the majority of folks just end up with a bad experience and are soured on hiking for life.”

“Yep-That's what I figured-a sort of middle of the road type trip. No use in scareing off potential hiking partners. It's my experience you find enough challenge in a ordinary trip-things just happen. The bathroom thing is a really big point with Divas-I think they can stand a little funk though.This ought to be interesting.”

“The first time was a guy who hunts and was accustomed to the woods.

The second time was my best friend. Her husband looked in her pack and saw that there was no make-up bag. He had little faith. We ended up doing 10-11 miles the first day.

I suggest you take them on a trail that will allow you to play it by ear. If someone has blisters or just plain hates it, you can set up camp early. If they're having a great time, like my friend, you can use the first camp site for a long lunch and then move on down the trail.

I'm pretty hard core but even I got "grossed out" when I witnessed a pretty young lady share her boyfriend's buddy's "snot rag". Eeeeeeewe!

Be flexible and have fun!”

“Hey- What's a little snot between body buddies.”

“What ARE you thinking?











Dagnabbit, make sure I know where this will be!! This I gotta see..roflmbo.

I can see it now, he jumps out of his one man tent in his shiny black thong, with leetle tiny snicker's bars wrappers flying all over the place..LOL

Count me in!”

“Man! Whats somthin' like that cost!?”

“MY sherpa abilities are always free and avaliable for a Diva trip.”

“"I can see it now, he jumps out of his one man tent in his shiny black thong, with leetle tiny snicker's bars wrappers flying all over the place..LOL "

I can picture it vividly!!! The snickers wrappers was just the right touch, TX! I love it!”

“Hey, where IS Jerbear?? Thought he was heading my way this summer. Hmmmmmm, thong and snickers, huh? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM>>>>> (remember to unlist phone number and change e-mail when Jerbear comes to town....LOL!)”

“how about a stream crossing jerbear style...

I took a friend out once who'd never been and I learned from her. She packed everything but the kitchen sink and still does - she lugs it and she's happy so who cares. I went back to bringing what I want, screw the lightweight critics.”

“Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I think I just got an e-mail reminder that I ALREADY GAVE Jerbear all my numbers. EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!! lol. No word, however, on how the thong was fitting. LMAO!!!”

“Just how comfy do you think a thong would be after miles of hiking? Can I spell wedgee?”

“bow-chicka-bow-bow....”
