backing trip in Southern Missouri

“This will be the official opening of backpacking season for me...hope to see some old and new friends on the trail for this hike.”

“what will you be baking on this trip? i like to bake enchaladas! they rock n roll baybe!

my aunt bakes cheesecake , and it's really good too.....”

“What the heck is a 'backing' trip?
Walk backwards? ;)”

“Apparently Strat is crosseyed and thought that "backing" = "baking" LOL!

Hey stik, I dunno when this trip is, but just e-mailed ya some info on a Columbus Day trip I thought ya might be interested in. I mean, after all, the term "DEATH MARCH" was used.... ;-)”

“hey, maybe it's where you learn to do the three-point turn!”

“and stay out of my wilderness you poseur!

The bping season doesn't start until the first full week of October, by the way.”

“beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...”

“A thread about a trip!!! I'll check it out. Thanks Stikky.”

“kiss my lilywhiteass. If I meet ya on the trail, I'll sick Khatru on your sorry whitetrashass.

and...its backpacking, not backing...sorry

and...Putz (Mutt)...I said it was MY official opening, your official opening is your mouth which is yourass....

what a dick!

Jgiles...yes, an actual trip...you need to get out man...you missed all the river trips this summer, while the mighty Mozark went on 3. You summer slacker you.

Its gettin close to "Time to get out and play on the trail time". yeee haaaaw”

“You crack me up stikmon, enjoy your hike.”

“just want to clarify something...Khatru is harmless, he's a big baby who loves to run, play, and eat...so, I see you signed up for this trip, It will be a (swallowing pride here) privilege to meet ya. Hope ya can make it.”

“I can be a real#&%!$...its easy, and natural...being nice is work.

come out and play...I don't bite, at least not very hard.”

“Well everyone knows I'm an a$$, and I've had way too much fun at your expense. You've been a good sport as much as you've let me have it (deservedly so, particularly for the 9/11 thread, and for the hurricane thread).

Actually, I won't be able to make the hike - I'll try to remove my name from it. Perhaps some day, though...”

“I called myselfan#&%!$, but it wouldn't show it, that sucks...

Sorry you can't make it...and yes, I've taken blows from you and you from me...we;re even. Unless your really bacpac, then the war continues....LOL

I recently heard one of my formative songs..."I'd love to change the World" By Ten Years After (Alvin Lee)...one of the lines is "them and us, we start the war"...I live for that...raise a ruckus and be contraversial...thats me and has been for some time, and I have no intention of EVER being any other way...favorite quote..."question authority".

Later...”

“Mutt...

Stikmon conveniently forgot to add that Khatru really enjoy humping other male dogs.

Forrest and Bucky are both still in therapy from the abuse they received last year.”

“nasty!”

“jgiles can you make this trip...its in YOUR BACK YARD!!!! and that don't happen too many times. although, I've got a trail adgenda for this region this season...I'll keep ya in the loop, Mozark too, althoug the big girlyman hurt himself by having too much fun...hehehe. I need to call him.”

“It is true and I'm still hoppin around. Slipped on the steps and ripped that little hummer again! Needless to say I can't make this trip. This couch potatoe thing is killing me. Does anyone know any good movies?

Brick is interested in making this trip and I assume Dutch Oven Dave will make it his first BPing trip.

You guys have fun now!

Strat,
My boy has gone and bought himself a Gibson acoustic. Are you still pickin down on Dickson Street? Maybe you guys could jam together sometime and this old guy might come up to listen.



Moz”

“Hey JGiles, Stikmon is right where have you been all summer?”

“hey, you guys could do the "girlymanarama" trip!! People will FLOCK to it!!!”

“I'm ripin 125 pushups now and benchin 185lbs...not bad for a skinny jewish guy from philly, now weighing in at 145lbs...its STIKMON.

I;m ready to shred some trail!!!”

“dutch oven dave will be attending...I'll be lending him a pack and some gear, I'm sure. I'm thinkin an aluminum dutch oven for him...hahaha...

hey you know, the only thing missing from our combined gear collection, was the kitchen sink, well now I got one of them too...lol

headin out this weekend again...taking my mother...LOL...stikmom will be on the Points for her first wilderness backcountry experience...hahahaha...pics will most definetly be posted.”

“What, no titanium dutch over? C'mon... it's snobbish and the "mostest" 8-)”

“a Tituniam Dutch Over would be over the top...I must get one so that I can wave it under Dutch oven's nose and keep my superiority over all the rest.

I shall endeavor to acquire such an item.”

“Lets not forget this trip...its gonna be fun.”

“Perhaps we can meet up in the Spring. I would love to hike down the Missouri Ozarks. Personally I don't care if you have a dog Stikmon, I like animals.

In the meanwhile, I'm saving up for a reliable car.”

“OH...anytime. but just to warn you, I am just as snobby as I appear to be...LOL.”

“...I can be a handful too! LOL!”

“smooch, smooch

lol”

“Missouri, my butt!
You people make me sick!
GO TO HELL!”

“Tarabull!
Take your medicine... NOW!”

“someone steal your backpack. get your butt on down here and join a bunch of us and hike in the Ozarks...I promise, I won't bite, but a little.”

“Please Liz no "PDA"!”

“I meant stikmon and ohio hiker... and YES, NO PDAs!!!”

“I probably won't start my hiking season until the weekend after this hike. This one falls on the last weekend of my son's soccer season. Then I will be ready to get after it unless there is a big Razorback game that I must go to. :)”

“sports gettin in the way of LIFE!!!

you know, thats wh\ats wrong with this country...freakin SPORTS!!!! #&%!$ sports...razorback, msu, nitany lions, GET A LIFE!!! you know what...Its pathetic how so many of you would waste a fantastic weekend, to stay in and watch some stupid football game...yeah...a sports game will make my life better, it'll get me closer to god...I'll learn something from it, be inspired from it,,,,NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry, just a rant, nothing personal, but, I don't get the sports thing, I just don't. Your gonna tell me that a touchdown is as glorious as an Eagle flying overhead, or a fish breaking water, or the sunshining on a clear glasslike river...no WAY!!! I don't THINK SO!!!! anyway...

I can understand the son and the soccur thing, that is real, but staying home to watch the razorbacks...crak me up.”

“I think stikky is upset because his Eagles are sucking this year. :)”

“"Your gonna tell me that a touchdown is as glorious as an Eagle flying overhead, or a fish breaking water, or the sunshining on a clear glasslike river...no WAY!!!"

That could be the next Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom ad.”

“BTW Stikky, I'm not staying home to watch most of the games, I have tickets to 5 of them.”

“I was a bit upsetlast night, and needed to vent off steam.”

“Why you're a jerk... you and that 2scoops!! Just two peas in a pod!




















LMAO... :-)”

“your the support that I ALWAYS needed!!!

Now I remember why I like being single...”

“I got a hiking partner...my new radio station rep here in town is a former hiker and backpacker...he is gonna go on this hike, so, now I am not going solo...yipeeeeeee.”

“Fresh meat for Khatru.”

“lol...your funny.”

“Stikmon,

Where can I get a map? We are going bping on that weekend and still deciding where.

This is a possibility.”

“You are going "backing?"

It's a new concept, I guess....”

“"backing" WTF?


bping,,,,, as in BPing.....

BP as in backpack”

“I can scan a map and send it to you, I;ll do it tonight...this is gonna be so much fun...I have 1 newbie backpacker (Dutch Oven Dave) who I lent my Wolkskin pack to..he thinks he can fit a dutch oven in it...LOL...One dude from Kennett and I'm workin on another (who has 2 children).

This should be alot of fun!”
