Sodsfest 2004: Dolly Sods in June

“And finish”

“She's lyin'.......I can see it in her eye.

Hall and Oates ain't human.”

“Me, lie? Bring on the polygraph.”

“Polly?

Look at all the Bozos who signed up for this one!”

“You gotta point there.


Clowns scare me.”

“We might have to split the group into smaller parties and take different routes.”

“....or invade different wilderness areas.”

“Yeah, that's becomeing an issue - the group size limit is gonna kick us.

I think the total limit is 24, but in groups of 8 in any particular campsite.

Of course it's a wilderness so it's not like there are designated campsites, just gotta watch out for the old mortar rounds that might be laying around.

As long as we stay kinda spead out it should be fine. We can probably find enough places to camp each night to be in close enough proximity for campfires and other recrational pursuits.”

“Panty raids?”

“good idea!”

“I'll bring my panties...”

“Blech!”

“Come on along, Geo!

It will be tons of fun!”

“Any thought that I might was just erased by a vision of you in panties MarkO!

That's hardly something suitable for a wilderness area!”

“You're absolutely right, Geo.

Naked is far more suitable for a wilderness area.”

“ok,

so maybe it wasn't such a good idea afterall.”

“Mine eyes, mine eyes!!!

@#^#$&%^*&(&^*(#%!#$^%!#&*”

“After this intrepid throng hits Dolly Sods, there will be more than mortar rounds laying around to worry about.”

“"Mine eyes, mine eyes!!!

Yeah, E-ville eyes!!!

We'll have to dig latrines for this mob.”

“No. 30 -- do you think there's enough people in on this trip? I'm going to call myself a maybe for now and see how this "mob" trip develops...”

“24 is the trail limit, according to the info Dub got.”

“I didn't mean for that sound rude PhantomSoul.

Sorry if it came out that way.”

“30 people may be signed up but I doubt more than 15 will show. That's usually how it goes around here. About 60-80% of the "yes" people show according to my own observation and anywhere from 0-15% of "maybe" people show. A lot of it has to do with the weather. We had almost 16 signed up for Mammoth Cave this weekend and only two showed.

Honestly I hope no more than 16 show up. If we have a third group of 8, well, that's pushing the limitis of LNT ethics. Anymore than that and I think we should split up into four small groups, two main groups and each main group take a different trail. So if 30 show hopefully half will be willing to go another way. We will change the route accordingly.”

“Like I said, I'll watch this develop. If everyone above me on this list actually goes, then I won't mind sitting out -- 24's quite a crowd.


I agree with Dub in that many people might bail if the weather forecast for that weeekend is less than perfect. That being said, we'll see what happens...”

“Trust me, all 24 won't come”

“You should have seen how many bailed out on the FYAO IV trip in February.

We could split into rival squads if we are platoon-size.

Each squad could have a commo section and we could do radio checks on the hour.

North Sods is lookin' better.
The popular southern section will be mobbed.”

“Hey, sounds good to me... I don't like mobs.”

“Hey, sounds good to me... I don't like mobs.”

“Ya can say that again!”

“Don't tempt me!”

“Is is there there an an echo echo in in here here ? ?”

“Hello.














Hellow.


















Echo


















Echo”

“I have a Toyota Echo.”

“i'm having peanut butter and honey....”

“I'm eating cream of chicken and society crackers followed by a side dish (cup) of fruit punch.”

“"Fires are only permitted in established fire rings due to burried mortars"

YEE-HAW! I'm bringin' a hammer!”

“Nut Job ! !”

“God help us all!”

“Hey, is Buddur going?


Can the pooch sniff out bombs?”

“I'll bring Flapper”

“A bomb-sniffin' dolphin?”

“No, that's Zipper the dolphin.. he was in my dream LOL.


Flapper is my wubbiereeno!! My parrot : )

Him:
”

“He attacked Maple today”

“What do ya want, good grammar or good taste?”

“He preferred the taste of Roam Around actually... went after him second.”

“While in the upper elevations of the DS area, particularly the Breathed Mtn Tr and Big Stonecoal Tr, you can see large pits with a ridge of rocks around them which I've interpreted as mortar round impact pits from back when the area was used for target practice. Look for them when on those trails.”

“Yikes.. how large are they?”

“Holy bejesus.. that looks like the moon! : P”
