HIKE MAINE III

“Ski racer, Get well, this will be a killer trip!!!!”

“Man, you would have to drudge up the bad memories about that boxed wine. That stuff is made by Lucifer himself.

I'm only going to say the following so everyone's prepared: mosquitos are still out in full force at least here in southern Maine. Not sure if that's the case up at Baxter. Twiggie, are they bad at the woods near you?

On a somewhat random side-note: during the past two days I've seen a seal and a red-tailed hawk. Gotta love Maine!”

“I didn't know Artex was a winer.”

“twiggy, do you know what
UB40 means?”

“nope - what?”

“I think it has something to do with the unemployment. I think they give it to you.

haha I thought it was a great name for a band!”

“LOL - welcome to Maine! Too bad you aren't continuing on with us Artex, and maybe get to see/hear a loon.

I think there was a new bug hatching after the rains last weekend. I've had to close my non-screened windows lately or be attacked.”

“Ya know .. . .


That is a Neil Diamond original.



Don't ask me how I know .. . .I'll have to kill myslef.”

“It's okay lee, I have an album with Neil Diamond singing that song.”

“I like Neil Diamond, LOL...
I knew he did it as well.”

“The band is multiracial and named after the former U.K. Social Security form for claiming unemployment benefit


I heart Neil Diamond and darn proud of it!”

“Sweet Caroline (BUM BUM BUM!)

Good times never seem so good...”

“Damn Yam to hell. Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.”

“heeheeheeheehoohoohoohoo.

i'm screwed, too, with that song in my head.
let's blame twiggy!”

“I Yam I said!”

“That's better than the music playing over the intercom here at the school. It's soft rock from the 70's and 80's. It definitely isn't helping me get things in order for when school starts next month. But then again, at least it's not Yanni.”

“ok, ok, artex, we get your point. you win w/ the worst music!”

“It could be Zamphir, "The Master of the Pan Flute"...”

“how about NO - let's blame damn yam!

hehe...I'm still singing red, red, wi-i-ine.....

LOL!”

Let's see Sambucca, box of red wine and champagne. This is where I wish I knew ya'll better so I could comment.”

“Pepsi, you wouldn't be suggesting that someone here was a loon, now, would ya?”

“Well, not during the day.;)
But, I have read trip reports where some of these same adult beverages were present.:D”

“I think you may be confusing loon with loony, pepsi. :-)”

“I am not a Canadian Dollar.
>:P”

“I think I have a Neil Diamond CD buried at home somewhere. I'll bring it for Artex so he can add it to his growing collection.

Tee shirts? Dang, I must have missed something.”

“Matt has Trail Talk tee shirts for sale at his web store.”

“eeeeeeee doggie, not many days to go!!”

“I guess I should start packing.”

“what? already?”

“Hee, hee. I still have to by supplies first.”

“Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funy funny riddle
Thank God I’m a country boy!!!

Whewwwwww Doggie!!!!!!”

“Twigeater, are you going to e-mail directions, phone numbers, etc. again and save me the trouble of searching through old e-mails? ;-)”

“hey ski-how's the big mangy toe? will you be able to go?”

“LOL, yam. It was never mangy, just sore from the ball of the foot all the way through to the big toe. It's looking like I'll be able to go.”

“Twigeater, I found the directions to your house, but will need directions to the trailhead on Saturday. There is a chance I will be heading your way very early on Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon. I'll let you know. If I head to your place on Saturday morning, I'll plan on getting there very early, right before you cook up my eggs, bacon and pancakes. ;-)”

“Haha! =D
My place is a supper and sleep, not a bed and breakfast, LOL!

I do need a firm count for Friday night - so far it looks like me, SB&MB, Bobo...maybe zac...

CraigM arrives Saturday morning at my house...

Artex, yam, Pennsy, will meet us at BSP Saturday...(time to be determined)

skiracer - unknown at this time...

pepsi - what are you doing?”

“hsy ski, glad to hear your big, not-so-mangy toe won't deter your trip!!

twiggy, you'll have to have bobo cook up the supper and breakfast for those hoping for meals, after all, the capn claims he's such a pro at cooking!”

“Are we going to stop at that good breakfast place on the way up again? I can't remember the name, but that was a great place to eat.”

“yum, Dysart's - that's the plan!”

“yamster,

I'll cook if you clean!

*{8~"”

“Twigeater, I got Friday off from work so I'll be at your place on Friday. I was discussing with Bobo about car-pooling for the rest of the trip. Is it possible to leave a vehicle at your place for the week?”

“bobo--if you only KNEW how i cleaned. (got a closet? a low hanging bedskirt? that's where it goes.....i don't think twig would like that!!!)”

“One other thing we need to decide is what time to meet the Saturday BSP people. I'm not big on having to rush around Saturday morning.

A three hour drive with about an hour for breakfast...do we all want to meet at Dysart's?
old exit 44, new exit...180.”

“yes, we can leave vehicles at my house.”

“Y'all might lose your vee-hickles in the seven-foot weeds there.”

“7' weeds. My car would feel at home.”

“LOL...they'll be camoflaged (sp)...the woodchucks'll make homes under them...”

“SB is seeing if she can work late a night or two and get off early Friday so we can get there early.

At BSP, are we all meeting at Roaring brook or at Chimney Pond, or best yet all at Dysarts?”

“I'm planning on getting there on Friday. Probably early enough to pick up a guide book and go shopping if the welcome Artex to Maine lobster fest is still on.

We can tell him about it on Saturday.”
