Michigan Mountaineers

“Sorry, I'll be at my cousin's wedding. Maybe you can convince the others!”

“jerbear - if you're coming to MI we'll plan a trip. Just say the word.”

“FYI... just got an e-mail at the address I have listed in my profile here that said it was from michiganmountaineers@yahoogroups.com

Scanned the .pif attachment before attempting to open on the iMac at work. It said it had the W32.Netsky.k virus

I figure it's just another case of a fake or stolen address to spam viruses... but might be worth a check. I don't know if there is such an email as given above or not.

And in case some "bot" has grabbed a bunch of addresses off TT and is using that MM address as a logical one a TTer might open, well, beware....”

“i've been getting a lot of those on my work e-mail addy, but its not associated with my yahoo account that i have the MMer group set up on. i think Le Subtil is the keeper of the MMer page.”

“Hi mm'ers!
Long time!
I've been in Rochester Hills working for the last couple weeks. Don't have the home e-mail acct anymore, and I can't access my work email here. Didn't want ya to think I died or sumpthin.
Nice place ya got here. I'm having fun, but I do miss home.
Looks like there was a tornado down RL's way last night. Wonder how he is?

“Hey LeSubtil, were you able to get the email w/ info about the parks around you, etc? If not drop one of us a call and we'll fill ya in.”

“Yes, thanks Sass. Thank Birch for me too.
That's another thing - I lost my cellphone memory, the only place I kept any numbers.

I did run the S. part of Bald Mountain last Fri on the way home. It was like 90. Kicked my arse nicely!”

“Hmm, so no email and no phone numbers eh? Is your cell number still the same? I could call and give you a whole list of MMer's numbers.”

“LeSubtil, glad you liked bald mtn. Try the north loop next its far better.Longer hills and better scenery.”

“Sass, yes, I still have the same cellphone #.
When I stop in the office Monday morning I'll find the url to get to our work e-mail acct.”

“Hey all!

I'm at Higgins Lake, at the McMullin Conference Center for a class. Yesterday we went to Hartwick Pines, today we're visiting some area wetlands, and tomorrow we're canoeing on the Au Sable. Nice way to earn a few graduate credits, eh?

While we were at Hartwick Pines yesterday, I wished you were with me! I thought of the trip on the Manistee River Trail, and our quick stop at Hartwick on the way home.

Weather here is awfully rainy today, which will make the wetlands all that much more fun.

What else is happening in MI?”

“Just setting up the programs on this new computer. Kind of fun. I'll be in Saginaw next week for a conference. I'm thinking of checking out the shoreline between Saginaw and Tawas City during one of the evenings.

Smiley, do you have any can't-miss suggestions for that area?

Thanks in advance.”

“I will be moving to Iron Mountain on Saturday”

“My sister and her family live in Iron Mountain. My brother-in-law is a teacher at Kingsford High. I love that area right around the WI border.

Tarabull and I will be moving to Marquette next week.”

“I've always wanted to see Marquette but never have. I'm coming through that area on my way to the BWCA as I'm driving up through Michigan rather than around Chicago and up through Wisconson (the vertical Kansas IMHO).”

“Nigal, make sure you get in touch with us before you just drive right through.


Ah, the BWCA.....one of my dream trips.”

“Chances are I'll be racing through in the middle of the night. We're driving straight through 19 hours. I'm not pretty then...”

“then???? ;-)”

“Oh like you have room to talk SS!”

“Well I don't want to kiss you, I was just going to say hello.”

“Oh...ok then...I was going to say just meet me in the men's room of the Cenex truck stop out on 41. Ask for Seabass.

“LOL @ Nigal

Nice sideburns! ;-)”

“Don't tell me. You're the one that grew them. LOL!”

“You're Seabass?????”

“I'll have to come visit y'all sometimes, or at least meet Wolfie and Daffers.”

“SHHHHHHH! The anonymity of the glory hole is sacred and shall not be compromised!

Yours always,
Seabass

”

“Ah yes, that dress still brings back memories.



Yeah Stovie, c'mon up sometime. Ya gotta see it during the winter. Bring DDX, see if he can handle the cold. They play golf up here but not year 'round.”

“Nige, if you think there's any chance you'll be able to stop on your way through, send me an email; I'll give ya my cell number.”

“Hi Tara. Good luck on all the moving.”

“That'd be great Tara!”

“Oh sure, if I ask you to stop and say hello I get the "racing through in the middle of the night" (whiney little girlie voice) line, but if precious Tara wants you to stop you're locking up your brakes and screeching to a halt???


Okay, I can see that. Never mind.”

“I said it'd be great; not I'll be there with bells on. Cross my heart and hope to die. LOL! If the timing's right we'll get together. I'm probably never gonna get to see either one of ya because you're switching teams from trolls to uppers. =(”

“I always was a Yooper, I just lived among the trolls, lol.”

“And, I've always really beena Yooper at heart.”

“Mmmmm....

You say that your family lives near Iron Mountain and you love that area right next to Wisconsin.

Mmmmm...

If you look at a map, and draw a straight line west from the Mackinaw Bridge, you will find that that section of the UP lies south of the bridge.

So, while you will be an actual Yooper once you eat the requisite number of pasties and learn the official national language of Superior, I'm not sure your family can make such a claim.

:)”

“A family member currently lives in Iron Mountan. I lived in Gladstone for 25 years. Your bridge/straight line theory, while being accurate (though terribly complex) is not applicable here.

:P”

“BTW... the same goes for you, RL. If you and K decide to visit WI via the UP, you must let us know, k?”

“Thanks, Tara. We just CAN'T stay away from Marquette for too long.”

“"Tarabull and I will be moving to Marquette next week.”

Dang, ain't that a coincedence!”

“Hi Michiganers! I'm coming your way today, in a few minutes actually. I have a licensure exam to take in Lansing this afternoon. Wish I could stop and say hiya to some of you.”

“Dang Ruby, you're driving right past me!”

“Smiley, do you have any can't-miss suggestions for that area?

Yes, stop and see me! I'm not all that familiar with the area as of yet, but you should stop to see me.


Anywhoo, my trip to Higgins Lake is over as of right now. I had a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic I was taking, and ended up in the hospital in Grayling this morning. I'm missing the Kirkland Warbler trip right now, and don't get to canoe either. G is headed up here right now to pick me up. I'm so bummed, but I feel so awful - horrible rash, swelling, and my throat closed up a bit too. I'm full of drugs right now, and am gonna go lay down until G gets here. I'm so sad I can't stay, but I want to go home REALLY bad. :(


G and I have plans to go camping next week at the falls that start with a T and have a long name. I won't even attempt to spell with all the drugs I'm on.

Catch up with you folks tomorrow, maybe.”

“Hey, RL... Do me a favor... Send me an email w/ your current phone #, k? I am in need of your input/ideas regarding an interview I have and I'd like to give you a call tonight or sometime this weekend.

Thanks!”

“Back home now from your beautiful state. What a compound/complex that is in Lansing!! It was a little daunting.”

“Hey, Smiley!

Would you guys like to go out to dinner on Wednesday, Aug. 2? My last conference session ends at 5:30PM and we don't have to be back until the dance starts at 9PM back at Saginaw Valley SU.

Email me at eriehiker@yahoo.com if you are interested.”

“RL, I'll be in da UP camping this week, so I won't be around. Didin't know you were coming this week! (Guess I should have read your post a bit closer!) Sorry I'm gonna miss you and your lovely wife!”
