scorchy and Gemini

“yeah, I was thinking about that... we need to talk sometime before the 26th :)”

“Gem, you have mail”

“ROLL CAMERA!”

“okay...i'll check. alright I got it. email right back at ya.”

“so where do you want to go? Vermont, Maine? PA,”

“You’re not coming up to the ADK's. I'm hurt.
:,(”

“im game for the Daks.”

“Keep me informed. I have to work on the 26th, but I probable get a day hike in on Saturday.”

“I'm game for wherever, as long as I don't have to drive cause I'll get us lost LOL. If we go somewhere in PA, I'll drive!”

“we can hike in the PA area too. I really don't care! Just want to get out. The sleeping bag is my only concern, it's only good for 15 degrees. (so that would prolly make it 20 degrees for me because I am a cold sleeper) Unless someone in the are is willing to borrow me their warm bag???”

“Maple, Gemini,

Okay, so where we backpacking at? I kinda want to stay local cause I will only be able to do Friday after work until Monday night. Let me know what works for you guys? If you guys still want to head to Vermont, count me out, but have fun! Lemme know.

Gem, sorry I didn't call you on Sunday night but I was beat.”

“scorch, don't worry about sunday...I was kind a busy myself.
We really don't have any plans yet. I guess I'll have to talk to good old mapleleaf. how far are you from maple's home (ny)??”

“Prob like 2 hrs or so?

Hey, I forgot, I have off on Friday, so I can go from Friday morning til Monday evening. But either way, I still wanna stay local since it's Christmas weekend and I'll be beat to death.”

“Okay, what about Rhode Island??”

“whats there”

“Breakheart Pond-Mount Tom Loop in Hope Valley 13.5 miles. Located 5 miles north of Hope Valley, RI and 22 miles NE of Norwich, CT.

Pachaug-Tippecansett Loop in Hope Valley 11.1 miles. Located on the Connecticut - Rhode Island border, 7 miles NW of Hope Valley, RI and 16 miles NE of Norwich, CT.

Vin Gormley Trail in Charlestown 8.5 miles. Located in southwestern Rhode Island, at the western outskirts of Charlestown.

Plus if you look under "Trails" on this site, there are 2 others.”

“works for me!!”

“alright!!! we'll talk tonight with gem”

“oops, may not be home tonight at that time. a good friend is coming in for the holiday. um can we do it later like 10:00pm?”

“Yea, I'll be out but I'll call from where I'm at”

“opps...sorry, but I just came home....x-mas shopping is a btsch. Just found out our neighbors are buying us something...now I had to run to the store. ahhh....

I'll call you tomorrow, can do 3 way too.

if you're reading this now..let me know and I call now”

“I can't wait to see the responses to that. :)”

“lmao!! 3 way talking on the phone...”

“3 way phone-sex. awesome!”

“LOL, men.

Gem, I talked to Maple tonight and RI is a go. There isn't a lot of backpacking, so we might just car camp and do a bunch of day hikes. That way we can bring more booze : )

Gimme a call sometime tomorrow so we can figure out driving arragements.”

“I like the sound of this one:

Arcadia Management Area

Webbing through and among Arcadia's granite ledges, rocky ridges, brooks, ponds, and leafy oak forest is a 100-plus-mile network of trails and old fire roads. The area is popular with dayhikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers, but backpackers can escape to several hike-in campsites along the Shelter-Yellow Dot-Arcadia Trails.

Contact: Arcadia Management Area, (401) 539-2356.”

“Weather looks good:

Friday: high 38, low 27, partly cloudy.

Saturday: high 42, low 27, partly cloudy.

Sunday: high 42, low 27, partly cloudy.

Monday: high 44, low 30, partly cloudy.

We picked a good weekend, girls!”

“morning yall. I was kinda worried that we hit rain. glad the weather is good. I'll call you today. Dont want to interupt dinner with parents :)


If you have nothing to do in the evening on christmas day...scorch, let me know and we can hit the bars together on the 25th.:)

I'll be leaving tomorrow, so I will be staying in a hotel during christmas. I will probalby pick you up early the 26th. (if that's okay)”

“Watch out for ol' Hank.”

“who?”

“Zac's alter-ego???”

“god I hope not. that would be scary”

“Ever see the movie "Me, Myself and Irene?"”

“jim carry?”

“

Hank”

“the only thing I remeber about that movie is the cow”

“Now don't go insulting Renee Zellweger, mapleleaf....”

“oh your evil!”

“Umm just my 2 cents here but RI is just as far as southern Vermont. I can also promis you that there is now Snow there.
Catskills are getting snow out of this as wel as vermont.”

“yippie!!

snow!”

“ I will probalby pick you up early the 26th. (if that's okay)"

Yea, Gem, that's fine! I have company on the 25th until about 8pm. If you wanna go to the bars after that lemme know.

I'll probably call you back later on today cause I got a bunch of sh-t to do before we leave for family stuff.”

“ummm sorry for the typo that was NO SNOW in RI”

“There is snow in RI, maple called the visitor's center. BUT it's raining there now and supposed to be nice all weekend, so the snow will prob be melted by the time we get there. Either way, we could care less! We just wanna get away.”
