What the Muck! Santanoni Range TR

“hmmm...that reminds me, I think we still got some of the Gluehwein mix packets from our trip to Austria. This weekend sounds like it might be a good time to mix up a batch.”

“It's the name of a Frank Zappa song that I know and love!”

“i noticed the "willie the pimp" too...what's up with that??”

“Someone should really put some pants on that deer's ass.”

“Or find its better half!”

“Great Pics!!!

Although, I think my pictures of Treebeard are classics!”

“Nice pictures, Treebeard!”

“Oh yeah,

mapes, were those stinky socks brown?!? I think they were mine, but I would like Treebeard to have them as a momento of our first meeting!

B~p”

“umm wouldnt you rather just give him a kiss?”

“Great pix from everyone. Whoa! What a mess of a "trail" and a fun time by all. Sounds like y'all had a great time despite the conditions.”

“Bobo, we will have the socks cleaned...




...then burned! (It's our duty to the environment)”

“It's been so looooooong! Gem, I bring home-made Slivovtz to FYAO (Mein Schwager kommt aus Oestereich.).”

“uhhhh slivovitz. Me like. Isnt' it jugoslavian though?? always thought so...

hopefully we can get on one hike together soon. I don't have anymore gluehwein, but I do have the spices, so all we need is some red wine.

Maple, treebeard...did you guys already try it? U like?”

“Slivovitz!

Jug hooch”

“Not yet, Gem. This weekend seems like a good time as any!!”

“Great pictures everyone. Makes me wish I bothered to pull the camera from my pack.”

“lumberzac, that's what I thought after we got back from the trail. I was to dang lazy to get my camera out of the backpack. Oh well...”

“You obviously come from the North. Slivovitz is plum Scnapps and the former Yugoslavia was part of Austro-Hungary which is the reason that Austrian cookery is so varied (and delicious). Okay, the classic non-politically correct Austrian joke:

How do you make a Hungarian omelette?















You steal six eggs (sorry). LOL”

“....and then what?”

“Bump”

“why bump??”

“Why not, Gem? Don't like the Bump?”

“cause someone us asking about the trip reports.”

“love the bump, just dont' know why...

wasn't there a song a long time ago? doing the bump?? something like that...”

“oh, and we still are missing buddhars second set of pictures.”

“It was a disco dance in the 70's, Gem...I can't remember if there was a song about it or not.”

“"lady bump" I think by Penny something...”

“Hey

“Pennsy doin the Bump?


scary thought I tell ya”

“maple...we forgot to tell..
buddha Bear had on darkblue boxers...
kind a like those

whoohhoooohooooo!!!”

“well i forgot to, but did enjoy the views....ooolllaalllaaa”

“One week ago,to the hour, I met Capn Bobo relaxing at Bradley Pond just before he walked out. 5 min later I heard Gremlin sloshing down from Panther.He introduced me to one and all at the shelter, then I pitched my bivi on what looked like dry snow , changed into dry clothes and joined the party.
I have never had such a laugh with such a great group as yours in all my adventures in the Daks.
Sorry I had to leave so early Saturday, but everything on my back, feet and in my pack was frozen. The only way for me to thaw was to get moving.Count me in when you return, hopefully this winter, to complete Santanoni and Couch.
Oh ya, IT WORKS!!!”

“"Pennsy doin the Bump?
scary thought I tell ya"

mistletoe leaf

Well, how do ya think I feel??

Hey Johnny! I'm glad you decided to log-in and join the party. You were great company in the shelter. If you forgot which one I was, I was sleeping next to and hugging your horn toad friend Gremlin.”

“Been up all night trying to put names to faces. Realized that it was Buddha Bear I was talking with when I reached Bradley Pond, not Captn Bodo. You Americans all look alike. See y'all on the trail. Soon I hope.”

“hey hey hey now! Don't ever say I look like Captn bobo or Buddha Bear.”

“Sorry. Size aside, I couldn't see you through your ski mask. However, no one could miss the southern drawl and rumor has it that you're a lot faster on the trail. I had a great time, too bad we wern't able to all meet up at the shelter to exchange business cards. Maybe next time.”

“Hey Capn Gemini, nice to meet ya! ;o)

Southern drawl? South Berlin perhaps.”

“speaking of muck... we gots lots of fresh snow here and I'm heading out for a little hike in my new Koflach plastic boots. Woohoo!”

“Now I'm convinced you're the greatest gearhound of all of us, Penn$y. lol”

“Pennsy,please post a gear report.
I'm looking at getting a pair soon!”

“I just looked at Capn Bobo's photos.

Those trail shots are the best.

Mud, Sweat and Beers!”

“OK, I didn't get through this whole thread, but this sounds too weird to be true. This is one of those fake Buddha Bear threads, isn't it?? And a whole lot of YOU are involved in the joke this time!!! lol”

“Yo, John.

No, Lizs, we're real (just a little fuzzy). LOL”

“It looks like the male menopause Jeep will be totalled. Ah well, time to grow up, I guess.”

“grem im sorry to hear that.

now its time to ge a red covette?”

“Sorry to hear that gremlin at lest you manage to make it out unharmed (well except maybe your pride).”

“Sorry, Grem. However, to repeat what has been said, glad you're ok...”

“There is only one car to get.
























....an AMC Gremlin!”

“Thanks for the cheer-up, guys.”

“Go for the Subaru Forester Turbo! It rocks!”
