Maryland Trip (12/20-21)

“There's a few maybe's on this trip (I think it was 4).. just wondering who's in and out so we know who to wait for when we meet?”

“Bacpac will be there to meet you! :) j/k”

“Just an FYI for ya, The Blair witch project was filmed mostly in Patapsco Valley state park and Soldiers delight. Streamweaver”

“Yea, it was Patapsco Valley and Seneca, but I didn't plan out the route and you can't camp in Seneca.”

“Tree, I'm countin on it!”

“I'm definately out. I have to work Sunday night, so I'm going on a local hike instead.”

“The Patapsco Valley state park doesn't have trails that run more than 4 miles.”

“Sure it does Daniels to mckelden
is about 9 miles and very few people use it but it isnt as nice as the hike you have planned. Actually Patapsco has over 170 miles of trails ,mostly unmaintained(the best kind!) you just got to peice the trails together lol The campsites in Patapsco are lame!!! Streamweaver”

“I think once you see me you'll want my body. Where is the place and I'll be there.”

“That's weird. It lists trails on one of the websites and the longest trail was 4 miles.”

“Are the trails marked well?”

“I doubt it CB”

“It's too far for you”

“Thats one problem I keep meaning to discuss with somebody at Patapsco!! The blazes looked like they were done by drunkin monkeys or something!! Look at the waterbars and such and youll see they dont know to much about trail maintenance. the unmaintained trails arent marked at all but its pretty hard to get really lost in a small place like Patapsco. Streamweaver”

“That park is sooooo easy to get to from here! Right down I83 to Baltimore and right on 695 loop and then right on I70. I don't have a tent yet. can I sleep with you?”

“Thanks for the tips, Stream!

CB - you aren't welcome to go on the trip”

“I won’t be going. It’s to far for me for an overnighter, also I may be in California next weekend working.”

“What have I ever done to her. She don't even know me. This is the most unfriendly bunch of peeps I've ever seen on the net. No one over at Backpacker.com is this anti-newbie.

Well that state park is open to the public. And this trip is so close to where I stay. Cool Breeze is getting angry. He's getting mad.
My krewe and me can have our own trip down there. We don't need no dudes permission.”

“trolls arent allowed, anyway”

“OH NO! Don't wanna make CB mad!!!”

“omg im gonna piss my pants from laughing so hard”

“Whatta mess, scoops”

“My first BPing trip. I'm really pimped!!! Going to bring some food to cook and SlimJims. They should be good huh?”

“You aint coming”

“Ooooooo, scorched !”

“Cool Breeze is getting angry. He's getting mad. HULK SMASH!”

“howzabout we let cool breeze on the trip, tree and i each pin a leg down, maple and calm each pin an arm down, and scorch can have her choice of smacking him with a dead fish or grinding her heel into his groin?”

“I'm game!”

“.....and the women fell upon him with a fury unseen by most civilized men.”

“I'm pretty sure I can't make this trip, but just in case, where excatly are y'all starting from and which direction will you be heading?”

“Pennsy -

"We're meeting at 9am at the Old South Mountain Inn - it's right down the road from where the AT crosses Alternate Route 40, in Boonsboro.
Be careful not to confuse Alternate Route 40 and Route 40. We will park half the cars there (I was told theres a gravel lot thats okay to use in that area) and take the other half up to SR77 (Foxville Road) and start hiking North to South.
Total distance is about 13 miles. Theres no really big climbs but alot of little ups and downs. Total elevation gain of about 2200 ft. Total descending elevation is about 2700ft. I kept the distance low so we could take our time and because it gets dark so early. I've never hiked here, just going by what info I could find, So if anyone has any input let me know."”

“SR77 yea yes it's on the map. Homies me and my krewe will be there Friday afternoon.”

“that's cool. we won't. we're not meeting there anymore.”

“Who wants to have their car trashed by cool breeze?”

“Not unless he wants his face smashed in by ScorchFire”

“Wrecking crew”

“What do u expect from a degenerate”

“Dang, I wish I could go!

I would love to meet cool breeze(evil grin)!”

“Wish I could go too.

I had a hammer and nails all ready for cool breeze.”

“The guy has implicated himself in a wonton act of vandalism.

How's that for cool?”

“Wonton would be an act of soup.

I'm partial to miso.”

“Mmm, wonton.

Dub, I'm so glad you might make this trip! Looking forward to meeting you if you go.”

“do we need snowshoes?”

“That'd be wanton...”

“Giddy-yap, bitpusher!”

“wonton act of violence, lol!

You want egg roll with that?”

“did i miss something,

Dub is cool breeze?

or is it just Dub is coming (which by the way would be the coolest)”

“Dub may be coming, and no he's not CB.

And no snowshoes,... it's gonna be a warm 40-something during the day and low 30s at night.”

“Just try to avoid over-dubbing.”

“I'm not CB, CB is probably bacpac. Same posting style and time frames.

I'm thinking about doing this trip. It's one of those spontaneous ideas. I've yet to do a cold-weather backpacking trip. Can't decide on which tent...the SD UltraLight Year or the heavy REI half dome which will stand up to snow.”
