Revenge at the Catskills - Dec. 7-8

“Goretex! Email me directions to your place, you fargin icehole! I talked to Warren, we'll swing by his place at like six thirty, seven.”

“Sup Gortexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Roach, bummer you won't be able to make it. There'll be other trips. Have fun in the Alleghenys!”

“With this snow it looks like the Catskills will have a little something extra to fight back with.”

“Ok...here we go.......
BQE......to prospect expressway, to Church ave, get on service rd before the light, and make a right turn. You'll be on Church ave, go one block, and turn right on East 5th st....Im at 304, and my bell is #3....call me b4.....

Im at 'Chelles 2nite...call me here later after 9 or so.....”

“If anyone wants to come by the housenow, I guess I cant stop you....lol”

“Maybe, Must Hike, But I know a secret. "Seek out the mother. She is in the earth." Oh by the way Santartex, watch out for their leader, he wears the horns of power.”

“Well I'm going to leave Jersey soon and head back to PA that should be a mother.”

“I get out at like four tomorrow, so I'll be heading home first, since I'll probably realise I forgot something anyways- I'll call you later-”

“Good luck with all that, Must Hike. Traffic sux out there.”

“Herger the Joyous: [Speaks Norse]
Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: What did he say?
Melchisidek: "Hurry to meet Death before you're place is taken."
[Fahdlan rides off]
Melchisidek: We will remember you. Go with God.
Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: [Looks skyward] You listening?”

“LOL”

“So whats the plan for the weekend......lets get this straight on my end b4 I lose my mind here with the beer Im swallowing........

Warren, NAsty, and I are leaving 2morrow night and packing over in on the trail and you guys are meeting us, who's coming, and what are the plans......sorry Im a pain in the arse, just that I wont be near a 'puter from 2morrow on wards, and hopw to hear the plans 2nite.......”

“Here ya go- Artex mentioned earlier that he wants to meet at the trailhead by Prediger Road, which is the same one we started at last time. I think he mentioned something about 7:00 or 7:30, which means we'll be waking up early to go meet him and whoever else shows up. Sound Good?”

“Yes sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“'And then he says- "Do not foretell me wife, else I'll get no supper when I get home tonight"
"I don't sound like that!"”

“LOL....”

“I plan to Bivy,.....what are the other plans, unless any1 needs a tent and share....etc...etc....#&%!$ that!....lol”

“ROFLMAO at Corporal Nasty!!!!”

“Oh....but not me....huh”

“Kidding mate”

“How do you guys remember that stuff? I just read the book and saw the movie and I don't remember those lines.

Goretex - I just picked up a Mt Hardwear Bat Ray from Sierra Trading Post for $47. It's kind of a tarp / tent. Weighs 3 1/2 lbs and I was thinking of using this weekend. I'm not sure I want to do a test with the snow so I might just bring my tent.”

“Pennsy, Corporal Nasty and I have seen the movie a gazillion times each. I could almost recite it from beginning to end!

Goretexxxxxxxxxxxxx, quotes from the 13th Warrior will always elicit a laugh from me!”

“Screw it....if anything........Ill shack up under the tarp with ya (1st dibs) if ya let me.......Lets go lite...the snow will slow us down a lil....”

“It's all there, Pennsy. Perhaps it requires you to watch the movie over and over like Santartex and I, to remember the lines-
"I'm an ambassador, Damnit! I'm supposed to talk to people!"”

“Give an Arab a sword, he makes a knife. When you die can I give that to my daughter?”

“OOPS....doesnt look like a tarp....Sorry Pennsy.....lol

Go lite anyway”

“LMFAO!!!!!!!!”

“"What do you suppose the potentate of this encampment calls himself?"
"Oh, Emperor at the very least."”

“Im using my Bivy along with Warren........Im so bloody psyched.....”

“Corporal......Im drinkin........damn, its hard on me right now....reminds me of the last trip.....sheesh....wow.!”

“I'm using my hammock along with some pissicles and a pile of crap. I'm not so excited about this trip.”

“No worries, I got them Mountaineering smartwool sox for ya from work, and a pair of Gortex Sox 4 ya 2 use tooo..... So your set!”

“Excellent- Thanks, bro.”

“no worries, you know your my bro”

“With goretexxxxxxxxxx's gear and the following words of wisdom, you'll be plenty warm, Corporal:

Have we anything resembling a plan?

Mm-hm. Ride till we find them... and kill them all.”

“That's so touching.”

“Meet u guys, make it to a point that we can rest,,,,and continue towards our goal......we are men here.....Eat and drink 4 2morrow we are 2 die....”

“OK.....from where u men have looked at on the map...where should we set up cam Sat night?”

“Atta boy! LOL!”

“I'm planning at or near the lean-to on Mink Hollow, Goretexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.”

“Camp I mean.....We will be within a few spots, a cave neave Twin.......too close as per Warren...and only 3-4 bodies is the limit......Um m Any ideas?”

“Sounds like a plan Artex....I aint got a map handy, however....are we planning to over pass Indian head...or head straight through the nothc through to The devils walkway?”

“Damn beer is killing my spelling/////
I meant Notch.....”

“So whee can we plan the end?



Devils Tombsone?...I think its attainable, but...It might be a little greedy considering the terrain....you guys decide...I just have ideas...”

“Honey- It's made from honey!”

“He Corp.....gimme another 1/2 hrs b4 u call...."chelle has some things 2 take care of here with friends b4 I can take the call......”

“Dude, I'm about to hit the hay actually- I've been shovelling snow all day long, and I have to be at work at four tomorrow since we're expecting it to turn to ice- Give me a call tomorrow when you get the chance, I'll keep checking my voice mail.”

“OK, mate....!!!!
Lets make 2morrow the best trip yet.......”

“Goretexxxxxxxxxxxxxx, leanto is on the western side of Sugarloaf Mountain where the Devil's Path meets the blue trail. It's at the low point of the col between Sugarloaf and Plataeu Mountain.
