“HECK YES! as long as I dont get a gig booked for that weekend, I'd(and my family) love to join ya'll.”
“You're really tempting me. :) Mozark knows that I want to use that new pack.”
jgeils -
“Think of it as a warm up for Montana...go for it!
Dewd - should I pack the Martin backpacker this time since the milage is low and my pack will be light??? Tempting...”
“hell, I'll carry it! I could bring ma camfire beater 6string too. It's a fullsize drednaught, but I think i could handle it. I can get my packweight perty low in the summertime, since i just wear shorts allatime.”
“I have to be in Utah or I would. You guys have a good time.”
“Blow it off Chillie!
We need a camp cook.....”
“LOL. I only work to support my fun time. The sad part is that I have to work to support my fun time. As soon as I hit the Lottery though,,,,,”
“are these dates carved into stone mozark?”
“i'll be in Fort Smith that weekend and week. Ya'll come over and find me in town and i'll buy a round.”
“JG, I want you to use that new pack so I can try it on. So please keep it below 20 lbs.LOL
I might even take an umbrella ha!
Where are you Sonya?
Moz”
“I don't know about this one. I'm not really a hot weather hiker. Moz, if you bring an umbrella you can probably carry the rest of your gear in a purse. LOL”
“And WHAT a fashion statement THAT would make, huh? ROFLMBO!!”
“Come on Moz, ya gotta drum up some more interest for this hike...hey SGT Rock, where are you?”
“yeah Moz ! ! ! Get on da stik man!”
“I promise:
(1) There will be a pool of water 4-6 feet deep under a 10 ft waterfall on Spirit Creek to refresh ourselves in Saturday night.
(2) There will be British accents for entertainment.
Jgiles - man don't you need a night out on the trail? Think of this as training for the Montana trip.
I'll give Stikmon a call.
Moz”
Woah, a WATERFALL!!!
“Now, yer talkin Moz. I gotta warn ya, I'm not bringing a suit along to swim in (too much pack weight) This will be a "come as you are" excursion for me!!
Better tell Mather, so she doesn't get mad at me for skinny dipping!”
I'm here
“I don't mind switching what trail I'll hit. I just prefer a loop since the logistics for me is better. I have a group of four and plan to hike 22-26 June. All my group just have southern accents.”
hey-now!
“Nudity? British Accents?
Sounds like a Benny Hill episode.
What next, dancing with Mary Jane?”
“We need to warm up for our Whyoming trip.
Where's the trail head for that, Moz?”
“stikmons heading to Missouri to go canoeing this weekend,”
“I would like to join in, but I have to work that weekend. I'm off every other weekend and wouldn't ya know it, this weekend is the other one.
Tx - did you ever find those pic's?
Jgiels - don't be a wieny
Starburst say's hi
Have a good one”
“Stalker are you trying to shame me in to this hike? LOL You know you could quit your job and go on this hike. Where are your priorities,wienie? LOL”
“Send me your email addresses and I'll send you guys and gals maps and trail descriptions.
mconner@varco.com
I'm working on a couple of coworkers for this trip also. They were shy on the cold cold cold winter outings so now they get a chance to hike when it is hot hot hot! LOL
The british accent will come from my new "brother-in-law".
”
“Mary Jane won't make this trip...bummer!
I have the section maps available if anyone wants one.”
“stratdewd@aol.com
Catchy, isn't it? Any maps you could send without too much trouble would be greatly apppreciated!
”
“Hey, Stalker -
So, switch weekends with someone Dude, we're worth it and you know it!!!
As for the pictures..dang I have looked high and low and can't find them..but don't lose hope. I am beginning to think I imagined the pictures and never had them developed. What a blonde!!!
Come hike with us!!!
Tex”
“I need to know which trail you guys are hiking so I can get out this weekend and set up the crosses.”
“Just send me your email address and I'll send you a map.
Uh, what is the purpose of the crosses. To mark our last step as seen along hwys or as KKK markers?LOL”
wishin ya'll well.
“I'm heading east to canoe on the Green River in Mammoth Cave NP. Now with a beautiful canoeing partner...miss carabiner...so...PPPPPPHHHHHHHHTTTTTT````` :-p”
Mary Jane
“Mary Jane is what could be considered "Old School" Trail Talk.
Back about 3 years ago I think, there was a Troll named Gentel Ben that had a long thread going named something like "Last Dance with Mary JAne" or something similar. It was actually a fun read. I don't think it made it when TT changed over.
At least that is what I assume he is refering to.”
I will be returning to the trail
“In colorado in 4 weeks then I will be offtrail till the ticks/chiggers go away. Sorry guys, but I'll be back with you all in the fall.”
“stikky, just a tip, get a big drybag & keep everything in it! ESPECIALLY THE CAMERA!
LMAO!”
I've now replaced everything
“except the camera and binaculors (sp?) and the camp chair. those are the really expsive items.
I have to send out bacpacs bet to ABCS. we made a bet and I lost. Gotta hand it to ya bacpac...you have a heart and a good soul. should be able to get that out next week. Its worth it. When I get confirmation of receipt, I will post it, so there won't be any doubt about my integity, just my intelligence...LMAO at myself.”
“Thank you stickmon. I appreciate your integrity and kind words.”
Mozark
“Don't trust a brit!!! they have raped, pilladged and plundered the world for centuries. They have stolen artifacts and treasures from every indigenous culture that they have conquered. To this day, they still have not returned the artifacts that they excavated from our own nation, including Native American artifacts from Mound City Nat'l Monument in Chillicothe Ohio. They have refused... I say REFUSED to return budah's and other religious icons from India.
The arrogance of the British is astounding!!! I think it is high time that we go over the "pond" and kick some Brit a$$ on thier own soil. We whomped them before...its time to do it again, and get back our belongings!!!
Tell your brother in law...I said a big Missouri HOWDieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!...and if he is gonna be livin in Ark...ya gonna have some dude named Bubba, teach em how to squeel likes a piggggy....LOL at myself....hahahaha”
“So that is what was in those boxes he brought in from the island.LOL
Gee, Stikmon to be a non native ozarkan you sure are pickin up on that redneck stuff fast!LOL”
I watched
“O brother where art thou. It was just like some of the people I work with.”
“Mozark -
I got your email with all the trail info. Real good stuff - thanks! I'll probably drive right to the trailhead.
I'll call you at some point between now and mid next week to compare notes.
Looking forward to hiking in Arkansas again!
I've seen more of your state backpacking than I have of my own. I think you should make me a honorary Arkansas - ian
Talk to ya soon!
Tex”
“I'M GEEEEEEEEKED! ! ! ! !”
strat
“no arguments here. you gonna actually show up for this one? lol”
Hallelujah
“Mozark:
I'm impressed by your ability to generate so much enthusiasm for a hike on the OHT in the Summer. Where were these folks last Winter?
I'd join you, but I'll be kayak camping on the Buffalo.”
“Only 6 more days til the hike, Mo!!
What time you plan on hitting the trail head?
If I get there Friday night, it will be late..figuring about a 6 hour ride..
Can't wait for the Montana shake down hike!! Woo hooo!!
jgeils, change your mind, change your scenery and get out here!!
Tex”
