“Eh, but long distance relationships suck. Had two like that before and they both failed.”

“Yeah, they do suck. I've had some myself. :-(”

“ditto”

“Wonder if it will be much colder in the Gulf than at Monteagle... anyone have a feel for that in general?”

“It's the same elevation”

“Hey vic, for me it is about a 10 hour drive, I think. I am in Highland IN. I am driving down on Thursday and spending the night nearby with my cousin. You are welcom to hitch a ride with us, except it will be a tight fit in my Jeep.

This is assuming I am able to walk. We will see. The swelling has gone done a lot and I suspect there will be no swelling by then.

I hope, I hope, I hope!”

“Positive vibes, WK, positive vibes...”

“I am still in and trying to figure out how I can make it there Friday morning. Looks more like Friday evening and meeting you guys in camp early Sat morning”

“The week of the trip I'll start a thread asking for who shows up on Friday and who on Saturday. I don't want to shuttle and miss someone who might be running a bit late on Friday morning.

embear posted that it can be 10* colder in the canyon than it is in Monteagle.

yam, you're singed up as a maybe now. Are you goin'. It sure sounds like you are.

I may have to bring a 12oz coke to mix with the bourbon. I do prefer my Kentucky bourbon to the TN sourmash.”

“I don't think we're camping in the canyon either night. Both Collins West and Stage Road are up on the ridge.”

“i confirmed a yes for this trip. looks like a lot of peeps - still room? My neighbour might want to come... going to the map store right now to get a map. ta ta!”

“FG, go check your thread dedicated to me. For someone with all of that angst you sure do spend time thinking of me.”

“Smoky, it'll be nice to see you again.

Knuck, ich hab' kein angst!!! Yer just a dikhead with an identity crisis...”

“Not so!”

“Ja, das ist aber schade...”

“Last time I saw FG this fired up he was chewing on one of the Huntsville TT'ers for repeating a Howard Stern joke.”

“The jew and the pizza thing was a Howard Stern Joke??? Guess I'm glad I don't watch late night TV...”

“I never read the joke, I just recall your little buddy saying it came from Stern. I don't watch it much either.

I'll ask a serious question. Is the TD comment you made referring to why he no longer posts?”

“I don't recall the Stern reference. I do not speak for TD.”

“After the way you jumped my ass I dang sure do!”

“joking.”

“OPIE, you little $h!t, I oughtta kick yer @ss, LOL!!!


Oh crap, here we go again...”

“I'm not OPIE. That's why I added joking. I wouldn't put this past OPIE for a second though. He is a little $hit isn't he. BTW, I'd say that to his face. I think I have said that to his face, maybe at TC2.”

“Day,you bastage, just wait. I'll get you, my pretty...!!!


And yer little dog, too!!!”

“I started to post something, saw the correct handle and then knew the game was up.

Not who you thunk it was and not someone to hide behind a handle. I really was someone having fun and that's it.”

“I can't believe I blew it.”

“I can't believe I fell for it...”

“you have mail”

“i knew it was dayhiker. he always gives himself up. or does he just do that so we think he always gives himself up? are you thepackman or what?”

“see it's all the rambling BS that made me miss all the good info on this thread,....and now this??!!!

I'm not knucklehead...and mine was not the jewish joke..mine was the African American Joke..and it's a jackie martling joke told on Howard Stern.

I hope to make this trip..but i don't get off till 6pm on friday...and have to work monday....another monkeywrench for me is i found out i might have to attend a metting saturday morning till 11am....if i have to go..then i'm out...but i'm only 2 hours away...so i'll let you guys know if i can leave late friday or early saturday....any of the other nashvillians going at the same time....maybe we can go in together.....”

“ohh and i wasn't talking about the BS on this thread..i'm refering to the "i found a penny, and what should i have for lunch" threads”

“We got a #&%!$ load of people going.”

“Count me in.

“Who else is in for all 4 days? or at least Monday.”

“I am so looking forward to meeting everyone!!!!....You will know me....I will be the s l o w e s t hiker there......

:)”

“We got some pretty low milage so you'll be OK. I'll probably have to do some side trips so I don't get to camp too quick each day.”

“I hope it turns colder. It's unseasonably warm right now and I've got some new cold weather gear I want to break in.”

“Either way it'll be fun. I just hope it don't rain. I'm sick of rainy BPing trips.”

“Hopefully if there's any precip. it'll be cold enough to snow. :)”

“Maybe StoveStomper can hurry me along with chocolate again like our trip to Sipsey”

“Dayhiker - coke with bourbon??? What are you saying? I'm crushed, really crushed. How could you treat the lovely bourbon that way?

Okay, so who is showing up on Thursday? Savage Station, huh? Do I need to reserve anything with rangers or other powers that be?”

“FG and I will be there. I think if you get there after the station closes up, you don't have to do anything.”

“I can't make it all of a sudden. Tied to a bed with duct tape. You should see the wounds. If I don't post within 7 days. Send help to MI.”

“No RAIN!

“MM - I wouldn't dare mix Woodford Reserve Bourbon with Coke. It's just a little water and down it goes smooth. I do mix Old Forrester with Coke, but not the good stuff.”

“divinity and smokygirl both coming on this trip? Dang there are going to be lots of cute ladies....I better stock up on the chocolate supply. ;)

CMB & MS coming means this trip is GONNA ROCK!!! and be VERY PIMP!!!! Hey Mike, drag ol' Stormpooper down south with y'all!

knuckelhead (dayhiker) needs to remove his troll butt from the list.
dayhiker - You really suck at trolling! Ha Ha!”

“Oh ya its going to be fun!!!!


Tell Stormbringer to come he might not listen to me!
