FYAO IV

“Hey Amy,

I'm planing my the year out w/ my Venture Crew. I don't want to miss FYAO. Is pressies weekend the date?”

“Oh' by the way... tell pennsy ...ere gubme.s.ersers.devils path”

“I think its usually Presidents Weekend....”

“In '02 it was MLK weekend :P~~~~”

“MLK for president!!!!!!!”

“I have a 4-day weekend January 16-17-18-19.

Whudda ya say snow wackos?”

“What's MLK?

BTW, I'm in.”

“Martin Luther King holiday, 19 January, '04.”

“I'm keeping both MLK and Pres Day open, just in case. I would seriously consider making this an annual trip for me. I had such a great time despite almost losing all my fingers and toes. lol.”

“tarabull, oh, please come!!!
You are the funnest!

Speaking of fingers and toes, thanks for the handwarmers.
I found mine when I was packin' up to go home.”

“Lookin good, chilluns, looking GOOD!”

“Because of "the thing" I probably won't be able to make it. The good news is that after the thing is over, I'll be making trips like this much more often. Y'all have fun.”

“thing?

Are you getting breast implants, artex?”

“Sure would be nice to visit you east coasters again. I had a riot at Roaring Plains.”

“Where exactly is the hike? I'd love to hike with Tea sometime as well as the rest of the far easterners.”

“It's at a secret location in the Daks. Only Dare and AmyG know, and they fill us in before the trip begins.”

“Nigal - it's backpacking in extreme cold. I'm proud to say that we backpacked out in minus 19 degree weather during this year's trip, and none of us got anything greater than second degree frostbite.”

“Be prepared for major shrinkage.”

“Good gravy! If it shrinks any more it'll disappear! Haha, no I'm just being serious. I think the Daks is a bit too far to drive for a weekend.

Shucks! The pics from last year had me drooling.”

“sheesh...the leaves haven't even started to turn yet and already youze peeps are planning on freezing yer a$$es. this is why I love you people.
:o)

I think we decided that Prezzies weekend would be the traditional FYAO rendezvous...
location yet to be determined, of course.
;p”

“Oh Mah Gawd!

It's AmyG!!!!!

bobo bows to the ephemeral elder...”

“Amy, no bugs and no bears what more could you want.


Nigal, I wouldn't recomend druling, it may freeze”

“Nigal... it's a THREE day weekend. Doesn't that make it all worthwile. I drove 2 1/2 to Cleveland and another 9 w/ BB to the Daks. So, 11 1/2 for a three day weekend and it was well worth it!”

“My total holidays off goes something like this...

christmas.

Even then I do not get paid and it's a big hit.”

“El Prezidente Weekend ?

I'll just take my snowshoes and play somewhere else January 16-17-18-19 :P~~~~~

West Virginia, anyone ?”

“I’m very interested in doing this trip this year. If it’s presidents weekend there’s a good chance I’ll be able to go.”

“Hey I want in on this years trip! That will give me a ton of new gear to buy!”

“Hey Mr. Terrific, if you come to Michigan for MLK Day, I'll take you snowshoeing somewhere. :-)”

“Hmmmmm, could happen!

I'll be along for the FYAO IV.......II”

“BTW, can anyone guarantee that it will NOT be as cold as it was on the last one? Can someone put some ductape over Artex's mouth so he can't do the Oonga Boonga chant??? I believe he promised never to do it again before a cold weather trip but I want to be sure. lol”

“Temperatures over zero would be just fine!”

“FYAO IV in Florida?”

“Bring on the Cooooooold! BTW, don't bring beer this time , guys (I told yazall you needed a Crazycanuck [one word]). What is the Presidents's Day date? Is someone going to post FYAO IV on the trips page?”

“Booboo, who are you callin' elder, buddy?!!

;p


Grem - I posted the dates on the trips page just for you. :)

The more, the merrier. These trips seem to just keep getting better.”

“The Amy! The Ame-ster! Ame-a-rama!

“Time to switch to decafe tea there Bobo.”

“Time to switch to decafe tea there Bobo.”

“New Espresso shop at work!”

“New Espresso shop at work!”

“For some reason I read that as "defecate tea"....”

“Alright somebody has to cut him off!”

“I signed up! Woo Hoo”
