Family Car Camping Trip

“We can observe a moment of silence for treebeard at Susquehanna.”

“That means sipping your drinks silently.”

“no, no you nerds!!

how many times have you picked up the phone to call your wife, mom, dad, drug dealer, relative in the slammer...without thinking twice about it?

tree cant even call ME. ME MAPLE!!”

“Who is he working for? The Gestapo Law Firm?”

“WARNING, THE FOLLOWING WILL BE OFFENSIVE






a bunch of DICKHEADS!”

“I'll have to buy him a drink!




At the Blue Screenhouse Inn.”

“is that what you will be calling your kitchen tent?”

“I think we should all wizz in a jug and send it to his bosses!”

“no, they are lawyers
im sure we can think of something BETTER for them

:)”

“Like what? If we feed 'em to the sharks, the sharks will spit 'em out!”

“no i would never do that to an animal.

'd make them live with my ex hubby first!”

“Uh, my screenhouse is blue.”

“My nose is red
My screenhouse is blue
My feet are stinky
And so are yoo!”

“not sure I want to know why yopur nose is red.....”

“Uh,......poetic license?”

“Your poetic license should be revoked!”

“Hey - is this for families only? What about a wee little Twinkle Toes who never gets to play anymore 'cause the Corp' keeps me locked up? ;)”

“PS - I have booze from this weekend that's just begging to be shared around a camp fire :)”

“I was thinking this last night when i heard you couldnt make the pa trip. (sorry about that)
anyone is welcome.
but i have no more room in my car. maybe you can take a bus or sweet talk soemone into a ride!”

“There are no other backpackers living in the city. :(

It's okay - I need to start looking into solo, public transportation accessible trips before I lose my FREAKIN' MIND!!

Oh well, have fun :(”

“looking into bus service.

BRB”

“Twinkle Toes, you are most welcome to join us!

Try a local truck stop.
I'm sure one of those fine gentleman truck drivers would give ya a lift!

Seriously, the park is about two or three miles west of I-95 from the first exit south of the Susquehanna River.”

“OKAY, I am very good at making side dishes. A potluck smorgasbord sounds good to me. I make a great potato salad. I also can bring green salad, cucumbers and tomatoes, cornbread and dinner rolls. But I need to know how much of each to bring. What is our headcount?”

“:(

no one else from nyc or the surrounding area?”

“ok, your hired as the short order cook.

j/k
:)”

“We will have five......people, that is.”

“We will be 4 people
minus the water bug!”

“Waterbug?”

“Twinkle Toes, I could fit you into the van for the drive down and up, but you would need to take the bus or train to Dover. I can pick you up there. We are hoping to snatch the kids from school early, around 1:30 PM and make a run for it (probably will still hit traffic).”

“Hey LyndyS - Dover in which State?”

“NJ”

“Is "waterbug" somebody's kid?”

“LyndyS - there is a train station right in Dover, NJ that I can get to from the city. Had no idea you were so close! Why haven't we meet yet?

Here is what i found out so far:
NEW YORK(PENN STA.) DOVER
Departing Time Arrival Time
10:17 AM 11:45 AM
11:17 AM 12:45 PM

If you can give me a lift - I will absolutely be there - just let me know what time for both leaving and returning”

“no tom, look at the thread WATER BUG. its a sad story of a very nice lady tormented in an elevator by a mean big bug.

it say saying very mean things to me. like
hhhhhsssssss
sssssiiiiiisssss

made me cry :(”

“Okay I will be there to pick you up. I will be the one holding the sign up that says "Twinkle Toes Limosine Service"”

“Penn Station means that you are arriving by train, right? No problem, only parking is out by Outer East Mongleek, so we will have a little walk with your gear. We can bring it over to the road and then I can bring the car over.”

“Really? That would kinda fun - sort of like a backpacking movie star! LOL

What time should I aim for getting to the Dover train station?”

“if the dueling banjos start playing, im not going”

“Badda bung bung bung
Badda bung bung bung
Badda badda badda bung bung bung
Badda badda badda bung bung bung
Badda bung bung bung bung bung bung bung
Badda bung bung bung bung bung bung bung”

“so much for showering all weekend.
dont trust any of you!



i can see you all gathering around the showing and singing that theme and yelling that brian and water bugs were coming in to get me. nice friends”

“Either one should be good. Just be careful about the ticket that you get. Everytime I go, it is confusing. One way, round trip, offpeak hours, etc. Offpeak tickets are cheaper but their idea of offpeak is like hookers hours. And when you buy the ticket, they don't even ask you what you want, so you don't find out until you are halfway that you have the wrong kind of ticket.”

“Memo to self: dig up CD with Dueling Banjos.”

“lyndy, its very nice of you willing to drive twinks.

twinks, im very glad you are coming.

note to self: tell all the inside stories about geo to twinks,lyndy,creek


then stand back and watch the fire works!


(hehehehehe)”

“ummmm - when are you guys coming back? On Sunday or Monday?”

“We have reservations for Friday and Saturday nights. We will be on the road Sunday after a leisurely breakfast and camp breaking. My kids have their last day of school on Monday.”

“Gee, Mapleleaf, is there something that we should know about Geo, and will know after this weekend, that we never even knew before that we were unaware of?”

“I think we are going to head out around 10:00am Sunday
treebeard has an orintation at 4:00pm at the Aqurauim.

But I hope to be arriving near noon Friday. gotta get them butt kickin ribs going!”

“mapleleaf-
You were threatened by a BIG BUG in an elevator?
Did you break bad with the bug?

No banjo music, please!

No disco, either!”

“Lyndy, put the wine cooler down and step away form your PC.

j/k :)”

“Did you break bad with the bug

im afraid to ask what this means?”
