“when you give a house-elf clothing, you set them free...You will want to keep ewker as your tent slave. NO SOCKS!!!

I'm not diggin the weather forcast...I might just stay in my tent on saturday, watching football and reading The Hobbit. then hike on Sunday and monday, after watching the eagles play on sunday.”

“even old stinky smelly ones????”

“Stikmon...which version of the Hobbit?...you may have a tent ful..LOL>hahahaha

should I bring my 8x8 tent to accommodate the crowd???”

“stiky - I thought Potter was beneath you?”

“Have you ever noticed how the newbies are less concerned with rain than the oldtimers?


Of course, being newbies, they haven't hiked in the rain yet either.”

“Chili....YOU are going to be missed!!!”

“Well darlin, life is about priorities. And this is a kids weekend. We will be fine. I might take them on a little road trip to Clarksville for some geocaching and to see their Uncle, Aunt and Cousin.”

“chili, I am more depressed because I won't be sleeping with your wife”

“who is cottonsocks sleeping with if she isn't sleeping with Ewker? Is Moses the new man of the hour?”

“Hell, Ewker, I think you are more depressed that you won't be sleeping with her than I am.


LMAO.”

“Sorry everyone!”

“Well darlin, life is about priorities. And this is a kids weekend. We will be fine. I might take them on a little road trip to Clarksville for some geocaching and to see their Uncle, Aunt and Cousin."
chili36”

“WTF?”

“ruhhh-rohhhh”

“Damn women want you to beg for everthing.

But begging one to hike is going a little far.”

“OH BITE ME CHILI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Oh please go. Please, please, please go hiking.













How's that?”

“Truth of the matter is that she is afraid she isn't tough enough to hike in the rain.”

“Not good enough!”

“Ok, you stay home with the kids and I will go.”

“Dont forget you have to stay with me tonight and the rest of your life!”

“What's your point?”

“If this fat OLD lady can do it I KNOW socks can!!!...she is brave and bold.....”

“She's chicken,,,,trying to back out now.”

“Thanks Divinity.

I think he forgot that he is going home with me! What do you think?”

“Whatever Chili !!! You are really pissing me off now!”

“Good, maybe being pissed off will motivate you to haul your ass up and down those hills in the rain.

I am writing the Sergeant Major and have him keep you motivated on this hike. SuperTroll, it is all going to be up to you.”

“I'm outa here.”

“Calhoun, GA -
Enroute to TN. Will arrive @ trailhead within a couple hours. Will sleep in truck in them thereabouts.

No map, but not sweating it (REI in ATL had none). Mebbe get one at a local store... what never.

We're ready... rain or shine.”

“I'll be hanging around Collins West area tomorrow morning. Mebbe Savage Ranger Station.

Hell, I dunno... never been there. Not exactly sure what to expect...

I'll be the good lookin' fella in the black Tacoma w/GA tags, BTW.”

“gojo...free maps at ranger stations..as many as you can carry”

“So who is meeting where tommorrow? Do I drive to the Savage Ranger Station and wait on more shuttlers or go straight to the Stone Door side and start walking?”

“Meet up at Savage Station at 9 am CST.”

“I'll be at Savage Station at 9 am tomorrow. Who's gonna help me carry the hibachi grill?...j/k”

“sorry guys, i hate to bail at the last minute but i'm just getting over the flu and i don't think its smart to hike in the rain all weekend. the rain wouldn't usually run me off, but i can't afford to be sick my second week on the job. i hope everyone has a great weekend! i know opie is upset that he won't have me to carry his stuff! dayhiker watch him for me!! hehe

i look forward to seeing everyone that is going on the sipsey trip!

oh and will someone please post randy the directions from murfreesboro?”

“Alright, something has gone terribly awry in Michigan, the Mountaineers are breaking up! We're cancelling the Schoolhouse Rocks II weekend and we're all coming to Savage Gulf. We're all going to call the Ranger individually first, just like Stikmon suggested.

See you all there!”

“Wow that's amazing Sass.
I've cancelled my Cumberland Island trip for my Scout Troop this weekend and we've moved the trip to Savage Gulf too.

I'll be the guy with 15 kids.

See you there!”

“Okay, I'll be the woman with the fifteen adults acting like kids! ;)”

“I'll most likley be there in the morning but if I'm not it's cause I started feeling a little achy, chills, and stuffy nose. I'm going to take something before bed tonight so I hope I'm feeling better. Even if I don't feel completely up to it I'm wanting to at least drive up and help with the shuttle. If I hike It may be for just one night.
Basicly I'm just going to play it by feel this weekend.”

“walkindude, take some Nyquil and go to bed now.”

“walkindude...that is sweet of you to help shuttle.....I hope you get to feeling better!!!..I am looking forward to meeting you....”

“OK Dad.
Goodnight.”

“LMAO at Sass and HPM!!!”
