Look forward to hiking with you again. This is going to be a good one. Are you going to open it up to the other club memebers?”

“Ya I will if you want.


I am very much looking forward to backpacking with you again and back in Ohio.

“Kick the tires and light the fires!”

“Sorry guys, I don't get out that much.”

“Trust me!

“My gosh this is getting to be a large group. Do we want to ignore park rules about "tent limit" as we did in Islandpoolza or do some people want to share a tent? The ranger did bust us for having too many tents on that trip. What do you think? I actually have never seen a ranger at this park and we are all pretty good citizens about "leave no trace"”

“what's the limit?
i know people that have had rangers visit their sites. we can always use two sites, right?”

“I can't share a tent! I'm a married man!”

“I am going to be using a bivy.


Fits only one...8)”

“I snore.”

“You don't have to worry as long as you keep to the ten limit rule on the trail. There are some big sites there that can hold everyone. I've had to camp beside 60 phucking Scouts there before. They were crawling all over the place BUT never bigger than ten to a group on the trail.”

“If I have to share I will. But only with a female.”

“I bet dude!


8)”

“Yea, don't let my wife hear me saying that!”

“Big Popa, would love to come and join you guys but I will have to wait until middle of October to make decsion depending on my work. My last name starts with a Z and everytime I see this post I think..well, never mind. But a lot of people haved called me "Big Z".”

“Special Youth Deer Gun Season: A new Special Youth
Deer Gun Season will be open statewide, November 22
and 23. All young hunters 17 years old and younger that
possess a valid hunting license and special deer permit
and are accompanied by a non-hunting adult may take 1
deer of either sex during this season. Shotguns using slugs
or muzzleloaders are permitted.”

“That might be the most disturbing sounding event I've ever heard of.”

“I thought it was ten per campsite. Well that changes everything. Never mind (in a voice like Rosana Dan a Dana)

Great news about the "special hunting season" I wonder is they also get to drink too like the non-hunting adult. I guess we should wear a lot of red.”

“OK, ya'll, I checked my Z map and it says:

"Backpack groups are limited to a maximum of 10 persons per party at any one backpack campground."

So, we'll have to get two sites if we can.”

“Tara - you always have all the info. We'll ride together down to OH right? Shane will drive but he won't share his tent.

BTW - He LOVES the bark park! We are going Sunday if you'd like to join.

Watching this thread, I'm looking forward to this trip even more!”

“Everytime I've been to Zaleski there's been a ranger in our camp. We can always split up into seperate sites.

Birch and I are a really strong Maybe.”

“"Special Youth Deer Gun Season"

That is phucking AWESOME!! Over the past 10 years or so I have seen a real scarey shift in Ohio. The huntable land is shrinking and I fear that hunters are no longer passing down their love of hunting to their young ones. This program is much needed.”

“Shanes driving, eh? I may have to reconsider. lol

Yes, I'd love to join you at the bark park. What time?”
