Aero, Chief . . . Swimming

“Hey, you two may have noticed Jmitch's swimming hole trip in PA. Well, I think those Eastern bastards suck. They've always got a cool trip going on. I'm totally into a hike w/ some swimming that is in our area. I'm thinking maybe we could put something together. A 3-day wkend type deal. Maybe in late July or Aug., so the water can warm up a bit. Do either of you know of anything? Are either of you remotely interested in this idea? Personally, my ideal trip consists of walking to water and then laying around in it for the rest of the trip. Okay, okay, breaks for food and sleep. LOL! I can afford to make any of the other trips this summer, so something close would be cool.”

“Can not . . . can not afford is what I meant.

Everybody post to this randomly so it will stay near the top where Aero or Chief might notice it.”

“Don't post anything that gets it deleted by the Master, though.”

“You guys are alot of help. Post already.

Do you think Aero and Chief could actually be working?”

“I suppose it's possible.”

“If nothing every happens,,,,, and I can wrassle the inflatable pool from my niece,,,,, I'll be out with a case of sun lotion and some beer errrrr,,,,,, I mean case of beer and some lotion. What da say Aero's front lawn again???”

“Sorry, I've been in a staff meeting and just saw this thread.

I've actually made a deal with Gordon and another friend (Rip) to do a weekend hike this year. It's all I can do with only two weeks vacation, a family to keep happy, and a ton of golf tourney's to particiate in.

Haven't given a whole lot of thought as to where to we will go though. It would be nice to find a hot spring that wasn't too far in, but not too populated either. AND, it has to be close enough to drive to on a Friday evening to be able to hike into.

One thought might be in the Beartooths from Island or Beartooth lake, into Beauty Lake. Would be cold swimming, but the fishing would be great!!!

So, where has Aero been, and, are you and the Iceman still an item? Not that it's any of my business, just haven't heard you mention him lately.”

“HEY --- I hate to pick nits, but it's the NORTH-Eastern bastards who suck. Don't lump us in with that!”

“Whatever you end up doing in and around the swimming hole, send pictures.”

“As long as you do the same with the SierraPaloosa swimming!!!”

“Sorry, no ideas from me. I did notice, however, ng, that you waited until Geezr left town before trying to set up this trip....”

“BTW, you could always hike over to Lake Elmo for a dip....”

“Lake Elmo is a large urinal Martyb. Yucky. And I wasn't trying not to include the 'ol Geezr boy. LOL.

Chief, when abouts were you planning this wkend trip? A hotspring would be the ideal. Is it open for some guests? When was the Yoho trip? Aero might be there right now.”

“Alright, Newgirl in a bikini! Hubba, hubba...

Ooops. I'm married now :)”

“You better be careful Rosey! Married guys aren't allowed to say that sorta' thing. LOL!

Briar, the kiddie pool is a nice offer, but I was thinking of actually hiking somewhere. Not just getting drunk and sunburnt in Aero's front lawn. LOL!”

“The only hotsprings I know of are on the W. side of the state or in Idaho. I guess there are hotspings in the Park, but it might not be very fun in the summer. People everywhere.”

“man, all that water up in the beartooths was colder than .... wel it was really really cold. can't imaginf why melting snow would be cold.....but it was!”

“man, all that water up in the beartooths was colder than .... wel it was really really cold. can't imagine why melting snow would be cold.....but it was!”

“I'll be doin' a creek dippin' trip to Otter Creek Wilderness Area in late July.

There's a swimmin' hole 4.5 miles from the headwaters trailhead and 6.5 miles up from the mouth end.

That sucker is the size of an Olympic pool and eight feet deep in the middle.

The water is ice cold in August.....gotta do a flyin' leap to get in but once you get numb its fine!

yours truly
Mid-Atlantic Bastard”

“Uh, that's in West Virginia”

“And it made stratdewd stutter really bad!!

Find hot springs here

I found a local hot spring near Glenwood Springs, Colo. Of course, it IS LISTED in a hot springs book. Anyhoo, it is easily accessible and there were tons of people there. Till it stormed. Then most left. The storm went through fast, then there were only 4 people soaking. I checked out the nekkid guy through my dark glasses. He only had his feet ni the water. LOL!”

“...Don't lump us in with those bastards Tilt. The bastards you are referring to are wayyyyyyyy east of the Atlantic Ocean. That would point to Ynami! :)



j/k!”

“I'm in the middle of this Eastern Bastard clan.

Please don't lump me in with those biscuit-eaters down south and yawkers up north.

Those people talk funny.....different kinds of funny.”

“waaaahhhhh, i wanna go swimming with Aero and Chief and Newgirl!!
:-(”

“LMAO!! Eat It, dude.”

“lyra, I think those dudes are hitched.”

“lyra, if you show up this weekend, you can go swimming with us NEbastards!

NG, I hope you can get this trip together. I know how it is with not alot of time and $$.
But there is always an open invite to NE for you!!”

“Yes, and very happily hitched.

But, that doesn't mean we can't all go swimming and hiking together now, does it?”

“Whoa! I'm back- what a thread I've missed. I had to work out in the field this week, but I got to go up in the mountains.
Swimming? Around here? Brrrrrr. This is why Montana kids don't know how to swim. But we could all go over to Chico Hot springs and hit the pool!

A cool trip would be to float the river up through the Missouri Breaks. there's plenty of swimming opportunities there and the mosquitos aren't bad yet. or maybe some river rafting on the Stillwater....”

“I was just thinking.....two young girls and two old guys.....”

you should have said.

"I was just wishfull thinking....two young girls and two old guys...."”

“woah, did you guys know you were OLD? ;-)”

“LOL @ lyra”

“HEY TT, don't be talking about my daughters that way!!!



You are talking about my daughters, aren't you? Not those middle aged women named lyra and newgirl?”

“We're older than dirt! Waaaaah!”

“I may be older than you, but I still haven't grown up.

"I was so much older then, but I am younger than that now"

Name the band.”

“OK, how about just swimming...and maybe some golf?

Me and the family will be at the KOA campground at the Big Timber waterslide Aug 8 - 10th.

For the hike we can walk around the golf course!!!!

For the swim, we'll do the water slide on Sat and Sun!!!”

“i'm actually a 72-year-old man. SURPRISE!”

“That's cool, Captain Underpants is probably a 72 yr old woman!!!”

“No wonder you like Shakira so much.”

“The byrds. When I was young.


My fate was so much stronger then,
I believed in fellow man
bbabbabb


wehn I was young . . ..


Wait . . .

I am wrong.


That is "when I was young"




you have a different song in mind.”

“I think it's the same song. It was the Byrds though.”

“Hey Lyra. I think I'm only 25 in monkey years!”

“ut-oh, then that must mean i'm 13. LMAO!!

but for real, good save. :-D”

“FUnny Chief . . .I gooogled it and the first hit was for the Byrds and dylan.


It is a Dylan song:

MY BACK PAGES
(Words and Music by Bob Dylan)
1964 Warner Bros. Inc
Renewed 1992 Special Rider Music

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.




I guess that the Byrds covered it at one point.”

“The song I was thinking of was actually by the Animals

Animals
When I Was Young
The rooms were so much colder then.My father was a soldier then.And times were very hard.When I was young.When I was young.I smoked my first cigarette at ten.And for girls, I hall.When I was young.When I was young it was more important.Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah.When I was young.When I was young.I met my first love at thirteen.She was brown, and I was pretty green.And I learned quite a lot.When I was young.When I was young.When I was young it was more important.Pain more painful, laughter much louder, yeah.When I was young.When I was young.My faith was so much stronger then.I believed in fellow men.And I was so much older then.When I was young.When I was young.When I was young.When I was young.When I was young.”

“I thought it was Dylan. I rock.

K, first, I'm not a home wrecker people! I know Aero and Chief are both happily married. I just want some hiking dudes w/ bp knowledge to hang out w/. If there were some dudettes in the area, that would be fine too.

Aero, I think the Missouri would be cool. I did the Stillwater thing last yr. The KOA and waterslide in Big Timber totally lame me out. Chief, you gotta' come up w/ a better idea than that.

I'm going to check out Lizs' hotspring finder.”

“The Animals rock!

aero, older than dirt?

....or dirtier than an old man?”

“That thing is really cool, Lizs. Unfortunately, I am not map literate. Aero . . . Chief, one of you guys should check that out and see if there are some cool ones in our area. I'm completely useless w/ the topo maps. They've got Chico and Bozeman on there and I've been to Pipestone, but we need some real hikes.

Damn, I just want to go on one tiny, little trip w/ water fun this year. I suck. I need to recruit more TTers in our area. Soon, we'll have enough members to rival those Eastern bastards. We'll have trips leaving every few days! Moooohahahahaaaaa!”
