bbinkley a.k.a. Big gulp is in Michigan

“Got into Michigan Tuesday night. It was a great flight. The miller lite was good. And the couch I slept on was perfect. Seems like a great place so, far..(providing i don't get mugged or anything when i go downtown detroit). I drove to Birch and Sassafras's house.(very good directions and easy to find).

I must say that Birch and Sassafras are the coolest for putting me up for a couple of days. It was great to be able to chat with them and to get to know them. They are totally taking care of this Tennessee boy. The south is normally know for their hospitality, but I can't say enough good things about the group in Michigan so far. All the planning and hospitality are great!! (And i've never even met them before)

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!

So, that's the first night. Finishing up my coffee now and getting ready to head to the casino down here before an appt I have today and then to check out the REI they have here.

More updates to follow.....”

“Yeah, your hanging with good people up there. Looking foward to seeing yall this weekend!”

“Welcome to Michigan, bbinkley! I hope to meet you Friday!”

“Thanks! I'm gonna try to get out in Detroit some tonight. Hopefully to the casino. I love to gamble. It's in the blood. See ya soon.”

“Glad your flight was a safe one! Isn't "twig" cute?? She's a smart one too! And how about them dogs? I'm going to echo everyone else.... they ARE some fantastic people!

Looking forward to meeting you on the trails.... laqtis will have your tents and poles tomorrow morning as I'm meeting him at 11 am at REI to give them to him. Hey.... if it's possible for you, so we can all put faces to names, maybe you could be there to at the same time?

Good luck at the casinos!”

“watch out for the snakes up there, they can climb trees and undo the velcro on your hammock plus they have been known to jump on you from above. Make sure you have plenty of batteries for your headlamp or flashlight....lol”

“velcro, batteries, jumped on from above....
