“.........just got back from the trip meeting with Tarabull. We've brushed up the final details and got everything in order. What we need now is for everyone who is going on this trip that needs information (maps and such) to email Tarabull (email is on her profile) and give her your home address. Also, for the people who haven't do this already, we need to know who is coming up and when. Tenitives are fine. If you have listed already, you don't have to now. We would just like to get a better rough number.”

“yeah... what he said!”

“I have send my email!

Oh Boy O Boy!!!!!!

“I was looking through the North Country website & bookstore & I can't figure out which guide has the Jorden River section.
Can someone tell me which section we will be doing so I can order a map & guide?
Thanks,
WD”

“Did you get my email WD?

8)”

“By thew way when are we going to know the times to meet at the trailhead on Friday?

8)”

“Yeah Mike
Just checked it. Thanks Man!!”

“Walkindue - The maps, etc will be in the mail this week.

It's the section that starts at the Warner Creek Pathway. We'll be hiking south to Pinney Bridge CG and then back around the Jordan River loop.

I have a link at work. I'll try to remember to post it tomorrow.

Crazy Mike - I'll send you the meeting places/times this week via email, k?”

“Wd good deal!

Thank you Tarabull!

8D”

“Thanks Tara!!”

“That's the place!”

“That's it, wd.

We're starting at Warner Creek Pathway. Short day, that day... we'll camp between WC Pathway and the Jordan River loop. Then, we'll hike the east side of the Jordan River loop to Pinney Bridge CG for night two. North on the NCT back to Warner Creek on day 3.

I've only done the Jordan River loop once but it was absolutely gorgeous and that was after the leaves had fallen. I'm guessing some leaves will be on the ground when we get there, but we should still be able to enjoy the autumn colors on the trees, too!”

“Sounds like FUN!!!
Can't Wait!”

“I can't wait to hike with you all me and Evergreen are going to love this!

“Look foward to meeting you too Mike and seeing EG again.”

“Are the camp sites gonna be big enough to hold all of us?”

“YES THEY WILL!!!!

“That's awesome, sunshine! I've got your address so I'll be sending you the stuff.

You'll probably be arriving around the same time as sass/birch/le subtil and others.”

“So what is the count of people up to now?

“Crazy Mike - I think we're somewhere around 17... YIKES!”

“Ummmm... maybe 18! I'll letchya know. ;o)”

“18 that sounds pimp!

Mike, How long does it take to get there from your place?”

“Oh man, I'm starting to get sick - the same thing that kept me from Jordan River last October. I've got the zinc, echinacea, and vitamin C on my desk - I'll be taking liberal doses. :(”

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo! =(”

“For those of you that emailed me for the info... check your mailboxes in a couple days.

I've never really been a trip-planner before. I found it to be pretty fun. Though, I'm afraid I may have gone a little overboard w/ the color-coding and such. lol

You can make fun of me later!

Walkindude - I hope you guys will be making it to northern MI pretty early on Friday. We've planned a few hours on the Lake Michigan shore especially for you.

See ya'll soon!”

“Awe, Your a real Sweetheart Tara!
Hope you get better soon Smiley girl!! :)
.”

“Do we have to wait until later to make fun of you? :)

I am feeling better today, WD, but not 100%. I think I was sleeping with the windows open too much, and my sinuses can't handle it. Also continuing to load up on the Vitamin C, Zinc, and Echiacea.”

“SG - I guess there's no need to wait... If you can dish it, I can take it.”
