I'm up to 39 with 2 or 3 more this weekend, my goal was 50 but I'll probably make closer to 75.

Rosey, I delivered your hello message to KB yesterday. It was the first time I've spoken to him since the backpacking trip.

About 10, which is 9 more than most years.

If you count sleeping in the backyard with the kids, that would be 12.

Right on, Dunk! Thanks. I take it you had a good trip? Really enjoyed the Minarets and will do a trip report once I get my pics back. Didn't pack in the crampons necessary to hop over to the other side from Iceberg, however. Maybe some other time.

Nah, Artex, I've only got 4. I'll be adding to that in the months to come though. If I'm lucky I'll add at least 8, maybe 12 before the year is over.

I ran out of DEET the following day at Tully Lk. That being said the lake was one of the most beautiful I've seen but the skeeters were voracious. The next night I backtracked to Virginia (I'm pretty sure it was the same camp y'all were in by the droppings on the ground) Then I hustled my butt out, I think I even passed you guys up, I hit Duck Pass by 11am that Tuesday. When I got to the trailhead Oldtimers Jeep was still there but for good measure I swung by Mels but no Llamas were presant.

Getting out more I shall. It's just too much fun!

So far five, with at least three more planned. That beats the last 20 years put together. ;)

Now, if "car-camping" counts, I can add another seven nights, with 11 more planned. But it just ain't the same.

Calculations
It's slow here at work, so I did some math. I figure I can somewhat realistically get in about 20 more bag nights by the year's end. My vacation time starts in early October which is great timing since the leaves start to change around then.

10 so far, another one coming up fast, and a bunch more in August.

Dunk: I thought you were doing 10 days? The lack of DEET shortened it considerably?

I am only a third the loser that Dunadan is although since one could argue that a straw bed disqualifies his night, I am infinately more cool.

14 with 10 more coming up in two weeks. Alas, after that will be limited by-the-seat-of-my-pants trips. Thanks to you who helped out with suggestions on tall packs yesterday. Your ideas were good and will hopefully enable me to comfortably pack my upcoming trip.

It did by 4 days, part of the problem was that for the first 4 days I was loaning Steve DEET, at the time I didn't realize that would be the 4 days I lost. Nobody should have endured the area without DEET that week, he'll make it up to me somehow.

Another Chest Pounding Thread
I do not frequent this site much but heard from a former TTer that there was a topic where people counted "bag nights". WTF??? Are you all trying to impress yourself...or someone else?

They are calling you back to the Other Side. Go, go on...

TheFlip, the other side counts bag nights also, but they just keep a running total of everyone's.

Hey Flipper, is your chest to weak to pound? If you're not familar with the site or the tone of the thread, maybe you should hang around a while before being critical.

25 so far. Might make 30 before the year is over.
