Return from the Fiery Gizzard

“Father Goose and Mother Goose thank you for the shuttle ride this morning. Katiebug thank you for let us tag along. And thanks to the rest of the group who we didn't get to be around that often today. We had a great time today, we got out before dark. Hope we can walk the trails some more with all of ya. Cheer's”

“I'm so very glad to hear of your safe return from the wilderness. Katibug is a powerful wizard in her own right. I'm sure she watched out for everyone that shared this trek with her.

hmmmmmm...good deeds from Father Goose...wonders will never cease...maybe there is a side of him that I have failed to see before...good wizards come in many disguises...I just might have to make his acquaintence after all...even after his insult to me.”

“Meeting the Father and the Mother is a good idea. Acts of kindness seem to follow them as they travel the county side. I guess they both have been blessed with this magical power.”

“Hey, Sticky, whatcha talkin' about? Are you refering to my jest about your relationship with Khatru??? :D”

“Thanks to everyone for making my first backpacking trip a fun and eventful experience. Especially Father Goose and Mother Goose!!! And of course a grand thank you to katibug for planning and organizing the trip and not allowing anyone to tar and feather my tent while I was sleeping as initiation...

TrailKitten aka One Night Stand"”

“dip#&%!$...on my canoe trip...jacka$$...ok,,,not a ds...didn't take too kindly to that...Sorry. and your head is safe...I won't rip it off and go bowling with it...was just angry...The dark lord had tickled my angry side.”

“and you survived??? gotta love the first trip...glad it was not a bad encounter...Like I said...Katibug is a powerful wizard and can easily fight off the most powerful evil spells.”

“Thanks Stickmon for your kind words. Thankfully, everyone got off the trail safely. It was a tough hike for several in our group but I think it was a character building experience for all. I tried really hard to get everyone on the trail early Sat. morning. I think that everyone understood my urgency once they encountered Little Fiery Creek Gorge on the far side of the trail!”

“Trailkitten....it's the rocks in your backpack you have to watch out for. Tar and feather (well a lot of them anyway) are too heavy to tote into the backcountry.”

“Don't you know-your real initiation was hiking 10 miles on your first day of backpacking! :)”

“thats too true...especially the dog trail and the last gorge...going up and down that thing was a tough experience...But I made it before dark thank the goddess...”
