Ocala Part 3

“Bug out, tango! I already invited lizs to Melbourne. You already have a guest. It's my turn!

« thinking »
(4.000 miles and I missed an opportunity to meet lizs. What a dummy I am!)”

“Whoops! But you've already used your thingy! And with another I might add! J/K”

“My kayak (an inflatable) seats two people!”

“Ah, I see NS has one of those pump up jobs.”

“Hmmmmmmmm... do I have vacay time yet by then???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo lol. Like that's stopped me! lol”

“Oh NS now I get it but you should have said 'dinghy' instead of thingy! LOL”

“We are now four weeks out.
Anybody got any questions or need any help?

Gforce I owe you a map. I totally forgot to mail it to you. I'm very sorry about that and I'll get it out to you in the next two days.”

“HPM, put me on your "maybe" list, especially since I found the AirTran sale on fares. My e-mail is lisapbia@yahoo.com

Thanks!!”

“Cool, any thoughts as to where you will be flying into? (if at all)

You might want to give folks a heads up on that as we have a few people flying in for the trip.”

“Never mind, I just saw the Airtrans thread. Orlando is your best deal.”

“Lizs - Welcome arms await you at the Melbourne International Airport.”

“DANG!! only 4 weeks out?? Time is flying!”

“Yam, are you flying or driving down. I need to talk to walkindude to see if we are driving down like we did last yr.

hpm, you have mail”

“Tell me about it!

Is my summer down bag gonna be adequate down there? It's good down to about 45F. ?? Or do I need to bring a bag for colder temps?”

“MDS, I am planning on taking my 45° bag. Last yr I took a 15° bag but that was all I had.”

“ewker--
I was thinking of driving. $$ restraints ya know.”

“Late January/ early February is our coldest time.”

“Yam, you can ride with me and the dude (assuming he is riding with me). It will be like the ride to Mt Rogers except a little longer”

“cottonsocks has to determine when she can leave. However, if all goes according to plan, we are leaving TH at noon and planning on being back at work at noon Monday.

I will drive straight through both ways. Should be about 10 hours or so.”

“Well I use a 35 deg bag or maybe a 15 depending on weather. Just keep tabs on Ocala, Fl on Weather.com and bring what you are comfortable with.”

“well, for my wife, that would probably be a minus ten bag...


this woman sleeps with electric blanket on when it is 65 outside”

“Just bought my tickets to Orlando arriving Thursday night. Emailing the itinerary to you Tango as requested earlier.”

“Just watch HAMWeather, Ocala, Florida. Then decide what to bring just before your trip.”

“Cool Dhutch. I'll be there! Lizs let me know if you need a place to stay and a ride.”

“Are all you people ready for me again?????

“Yeah, sure ya lightweight! Did you get the package yet CMB?”

“Bring the scotch and we will get ready.”

“No Tango.

Dude, I hate to be the one to break the news, but 60% alc is 120 proof. What do you do with that stuff, strip paint?”

“Yes I am driving to WK house!


Sounds like a plan stan!


8)”

“John Tesh concert? We all know how painful that can be I'm sure.

Ya know what? I personally guarantee that this hike will be 100% better than any John Tesh concert. The music will be better, the women will be hotter and the drinks will be unwatered (except the water) or Crazy Mike will personally refund your all your money.”

“I will???????????????/


8o”

“CMB -
Maybe you should join AAAAA before hitting the road. They have a 12 step program and roadside assistance tailored specifically for those who are driven to drink - lol!


What a crowd!
*tugging necktie like Rodney Dangerfield*



I'm looking forward to meeting all you that I haven't yet met.

It'll be a nice reunion, too.”

“Sure Mike, why not?”

“No money from me I just want to backpack with friends again.
