2002 TrailTalk Memories

“So, what's taking the rest of you so long?

Just kidding.”

“Always wished I'd gone on Montanapalooza.”

“I have a second set of kids but I still refuse to grow up!”

“Yeah, but you made the Pecos Rendevous!”

“And that was a great trip! I'm thinking 2002 was when we did Wheeler Peak with the notorious Stumped.

But we never did anything with the aftershock, the banning, and newgirl like Montanapalooza.”

“hey we had the East Cost party

Ithaca 2004

somethig like 45 TTer's

(I entered rehab after that trip LOL)”

“We need to do another one of those trips”

“East Coast is so over due for a trip like this.”

“Masten in October.”

“is it on trip page?”

“Who organizes it?”

“They always have to have that trip during the time of year I can't go. :-(”

“you do chili



zac, makes ya think don't it :P”

“I think it's time for TC the Ocho and head back to Big South fork. Maybe see if Ranger Justice is still kickin. Late October would be appropriate so that we can have a Presidential debate cage match along the river bank.”

“LO now that would be worth driving hundreds of miles to see!”

“I've forgotten. I know Montanapaloosa had newgirl, but was that also the trip with the "Prowler Episode"?

You are right, Wheeler Peak was 2002 and Pecos was much more sedate than the Montanapaloosa.”

“prowler as in "DRUGS"?”

“I think that was the prowler episode.”

“if you go back to the start of this thread, it was talked about.
anyone ever hear from him?”

“Not in a long time. TD might hear from him.

Big South Fork or Cumberland Gap?

It's been a while since we have been to Savage Gulf as well.

Let's pick the place and I will post it and get the permits.”

“Hey dayhiker, ygm, but what about planning a footballpalooza for the third weekend in October? Base camp and dayhike (except for Saturday afternoon when we drink beer and talk trash?”

“For obvious reasons, I'm gun shy of a Savage Gulf a palooza!

Third weekend, listen to the UT-Bama game....hmmmm this thing might get some legs.”

“I'll have to use the second set of kids excuse - though they do backpack/hike/camp, it's just not every weekend and for as many miles as I did when I was solo. I know those days will come again, and though I miss them, I'm not in a hurry for them - I'm enjoying the kids while I can. :)”
