Michiganders and Ohioans, July 4 impompt u hike.

“Come hell or high water, I'm going to Dolly Sods in W.Va.

OK team, WHO's WITH ME!?”

“Sorry, dude, I'm car camping with my non-hiking friends. Gotta give them equal time!”

“Sorry. Going to a party near Temperance.”

“I'm outty too. Good idea! Have fun.”

“Awww, geez BB. My stoopid brother and his clan are all coming up from GA for the fourth. I don't want to be crossed off his Xmas gift list so I better hang around and visit with them. Have fun!!!”

“Plans have changed, it looks like I'm going to Acadia... solo. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, that the sweedish bikini team drops in on me. Trip report to follow!”

“Oh, I'm sure they will. How could they resist?”

“Have fun BB. Acadia is beautiful (when not totally covered in fog). If I didn't have a wedding to go to that weekend, I'd take a few days off to go hiking w/ ya.

Sass - I thought you and the hubby were going to Manitou for your anniversary? Did you brother go and screw that up?”

“Nope, saving the $ that would've gone towards that trip for the August trip. Had to modify our plans because of the summer vacation, lol.”

“Hey, BB, I wouldn't be holding my breath for the Swedes. But watch out. Kennebunkport is just a bit south. We wouldn't want the Bush daughters to corrupt our sweet, innocent Buddha Bear.

BTW, pretty area. Get used to crowds.”

“Where you guys going in August, Sass? If you're still planning an Isle Royale trip, my friend Jodi wants to go - her trip got cancelled earlier this year.

I'm debating a trip down to Virginia Beach for a wedding in August. I would go, but I started looking at my school costs, and I think vacations are out of my budget. :(”

“Smiley, no definite plans for august yet. IR was in the running but with the ferry fees, fuel to get there and the distance it fell from the number one place.We shall see as the time nears...”

“buddha bear....

brandy and i are planning a september "fall colors" trip to dolly sods....we are still relatively open as to the dates....let me know if you (or anybody else) is interested in doing up a "tour of the sods" this fall....”

“Gonzo, my buddy and I are definately heading out there in the fall, we were thinking about doing the North Fork Trail again, but Dolly Sods sounds just as good. Let's definately get this trip planned toghether.

BB”

“sounds good....let me know what weekend is good for you....”
