“Cool, but that'd be a mighty big chip!”

“The backpack across the Saddleback Ridge is one of the finest I've ever done. I do hope it winds up in good hands.”

“This is After we buy the lodge on the North Rim?”

“I'm in, are we sure it is big enough? Maybe they will let us try it before we buy it. It is a bit north of the Mason/Dixon line.”

“Now I know what to buy when I win the mega-millions drawing this Tuesday!”

That is on my list of 'must do' hikes. Glad to hear you speak so glowingly of it, ped.”
