“On the AT at Blood Mountain with om and 2scoops.”

“backpacking? i wish, it's my last weekend in this town... i'm gonna stick around and hang out with my friends... i don't suppose they'd like to go backpacking, lol. I'll have a good time, it'll be hard saying g'bye... a second time.”

“I'll be backpacking from a ferry dock to a car camping campground. Heck, if things go well, BB will be picking me up in a golf cart and I won't have to backpack at all. lol”

“The G00SE and Skullcap family will be hiking at the zoo. With a change of venue to a museum in the event of rain.

It's part of the deal. G00SE and I get to go away for the weekend, then we get to do whatever Sauron chooses. That's only fair ¦ ) .”

“Sounds like a fair deal to me, skullcap! Besides, the zoo is a blast.”

“OPIE and I had a trip planned to the Sipsey this weekend but unfortunally I have to have sinus surgery tomorrow. :( OPIE is so sweet though he is still coming up here to see me. I don't think I would be able to make it through the weekend without him. I heard this surgery is very painful.”

“I'm going to do a backpacking trip to Olancha Peak in the southern Sierra.”

“I will be paddling 57 miles. Pure bliss. If only it could be ten degrees warmer than forecasted...all would be perfect.”

“Red River Gorge, along with about 1 MILLION other people, probably. This weekend is Memorial weekend, right?

The mind boggling part is that my wife actually suggested we go. I should play the lottery while miracles are happening.”

“Looks like Crescent Lake, Yosemite.

Maybe even the entire Chilnualna loop depending upon snow level / conditions. Or, maybe Buena Vista Peak.

None other than Hikin' Mike will be the guide on this one. 8)”

“Tough call, Since im off sun after too weds pm I have the time for a nice hunk of trail but no one to go with :{

this leaves me stuck with loops only - 40 maybe 50 miles. I could do an out and back on the midstate but I hate repeating myself.

just to make things interesting the waether is calling for rain I really am at a loss for what to do.

it bites not having a wife to tell me what to do :P”

Don't forget to get IAT info pamphlets so you can read up on the glacial geology features of each area of the trail. That trail ain't there for just hiking!”

“I leave Saturday for a whole week.I plan to hike the beach everyday with my trekking poles.Great workout! :~ )

How you been Crazy Mike?”

“I will be hiking under an umbrella. It is supposed to rain the whole rest of the week.

DOM, you need to post your trips with this site, there are hikers that can go during the week, if you give them some notice. And as far as not having a wife to tell you what to do, I can stand in and tell you to either backpack the whole time or just for an overnight, and then visit a museam another day. You need to get out and meet some new people.

Chili, you have a girlfriend with a daughter? Great, have a good weekend and I hope that everyone has a happy time.”

“Manistee River this trip.”

“ok lyndys I will post a trip, just as soon as you tell me where im going.
