Anyone Hiking This Weekend?

“We have four days to play - so who's going hiking? We're off to the Donut Hole in PA - where I really hope it will be cooler than here in DC.”

“Taking my wife and daughters on a 1.5 mile backpacking expedition in the Sierra. The kids are 4 & 1.5 years old, so we don't travel too far.

Have a safe weekend everyone!”

“you're in DC? i'm in DC! i didn't know there was anyone else here who was...kewl. we're going to Annapolis Rocks for the 4th, where it's sure to be a million and a half degrees.”

“Going to be backpacking in Manistee National Forest!

8)”

“Ask me next weekend!”

“Well, we were going to go to Linville Gorge (North Carolina) but have had to cancel. Sauron had to have ingrown toenail surgery on both feet. We're 'grounded' for awhile until he's healed up. Have fun!”

“We have our first unpaid day off this Friday, so I'll either backpack or dayhike on the AT - depending on if I have time to pack.”

“You're in DC? I'm in DC?
You're in DC? I'm in DC?
You're in DC? I'm in DC?
You're in DC? I'm in DC?
You're in DC? I'm in DC?”

“Yikes! Someone awoke the Tarp Monkey!!!”

“Two men in Shower, BANGKOK!”

“Gotta be in work Friday and have an obligation on Saturday. Will dayhike the Coppermine Trail in the Water Gap NRA on Sunday and may take a short jaunt on the A-Trail somewhere north of Allentown on Thursday, depending on how hot it still is. Gotta trip over the rocks! Ouch, ooch, yowzah!”

“Local festival with amusement rides, cotton candy and fireworks. My kids talk about the festival all year long, it is such a big hit with them.

I am making cole slaw, potato salad, ka bobs, vegetable salad and fruit salad. And barbecued chicken. Did I mention frozen margeritas?

Typical Fourth of July stuff.”

“Wasted away again, huh? Cool!”

“other than my daily training... (just started) i dont' think i'll hit the trail this weekend, wish i was... but it's such a long drive to any decent trails, so i'm stuck hiking the back roads every day, gettin myself in shape anyway, and still losin weight.”

“WOW, a light bulb! I wonder if I can pull together enough props to make my backyard look a little like Margaritaville. That would make the July 4th barbecue way cooler, and maybe I can borrow the music from someone. My kids would love it! Of course the flags are out front, we won't forget why we celebrate this day.”

“ROTFLMAO! okay, one other person i did know about in the DC area...
:-D”

“Yesssss, but do you TALK to each other?”

“I'm combining hiking with fly fishing to some back country stream. Not overnight though.”

“do who talk to each other, me and Tarpy? well, we mostly just try to beat each other up and hang out in a drugged stupor...duh! But Seriously Now Folks...”

“Going in at North Lake (Bishop area), xctry north, dayhike a peak and a pass, and come out at Pine Creek Roadend (north of Bishop). There's a fire 16 miles of Bishop, so I hope we can get the shuttle set up. I think the hwy was closed a few miles north of where we turn. SnowDude left this morning. Have a great weekend!”

“Meeting up with Gremlin to hike in the Adirondacks, my first trip up there.. Hitting the Dix range, and Hough and Macomb peaks. Should be pretty sweet!”

“It would be superflous to say have fun Artex. Just don't let the black flies cart you away. They have FAA wing numbers up there!
Got nipped a few times over the last weekend, once while I was reaching for the bug dope to spray myself. Dam thing bit me on the wrist. What the heck was God thinkin?”

“tsk, tsk, my daughter asks the same thing! the circle of life, I say, those buggers are fish food!”

“Thanks for the reminder guys. Perhaps I'll swing by Campmor tonight and pick up a face net. Man, I can't wait for the trip! Sweet!”

“Black flies must be spawned by Satan. Can't stand em. I got eaten alive by them on the BFT and itched for 10 days. After that I'll find out if there's an infestation of them and if so, stay home or go elsewhere.”

“sinspawn=black flies... i'd much rather take mosquitoes, and some people don't understand that... argh, i've seen more black flies than... who knows what, it's death”

“gonna celebrate by climbing up mt sterling onbaxter cr trail and then going down swallow fork (don't gulp those utensils-that could hurttt!) to walnut bottm and back out down big creek, all in gsmnp...mebbe it'll be cooler up hi!”

“I'm going backpacking in the Sierras for 3 days starting on Friday.”
