Jeff - since I already have your book, why don't you donate my copy to your local library?

I'll be stopping by the Lakota Wolf Preserve soon with my check.

Leafy - one of these weekends, I'll try to organize a Delaware Water Gap hike in the morning and then a Wolf Watch in the afternoon. How's that sound?”

“its a date then !!!”

“skullcap,

you're next in line for a guide, would you still like one? if not, you don't have too.”

“pennsy,

i'll donate your guide to the tunkhannock public library, unless told otherwise”

“I'll get in touch via e-mail.






Woohoo! And I thought I had missed out!”

“sounds good but I wish I could pronounce Tunkhannock.”

“Oh Yeah! Jmitch added a 4th guide. Sixty bucks headed out the the Pine Mtn. Trail Conference this weekend!”

“Got the book Friday! I am extremely impressed!!! Very well done!”

“thanks, i hope you'll get to use it sometime. i was wondering if you got it.”

“I was in my local Barnes and Noble store waiting for my daughter to shop for a friend, and I spotted JMitch's book in the Travel section under local interest. JMitch is getting famous!

Of course you all should buy your copy from Latta, Matt's online bookstore.”

“or amazon.com”

“or not.

Latta Outdoors. Support your Board-Daddy.”

“I saw his book at EMS, too. Cool stuff!

Hmmm.....maybe someday I'll actually buy a copy. ;)”

“I saw it at Campmor.”

“thanks, it's selling very well.

though i was misquoted in a story in the allentown morning call this weekend. the tribulations of being famous!

the next book is coming along well, though it's becoming a massive project.”

“Remember, do not include a backpacking cuisine section.;o”

“Ya can't slip anything past must hike!”

“cuisine? just bring ice tea along!

no, food advice won't be in the book.”

“Pennsy Hiker will be relieved to hear that.”

“Geo - that's my line, remember? It's not even 24 hours old and that guy steals it!! Shame on you must hike.

Jeff, was this in yesterday's (July 27) Call??

btw - jmitch did let it slip to me that he might consider taking tuna creations pouches on his next trip. Wow, what's next Chef J?”

“Steals it?
Who? What? When? Where?”

“pennsy- yes, the 7/27 morning call.”

“Congrats jmitch! Glad to hear the book is selling well for you.”

“I saw the book at the philly REI, good job!”
