Assateague Island trip

“damn scorchy, no cigs, no candy. whats next, no sex?”

“I usually try to let most things folks do roll off because it does no good to get upset--you can't change 'em. HOWEVER, I do get really fried at folks that feed the squirrels up at the canyon--those suckers have become aggressive and instead of thinking they are cute and fun I think they have become like big rats and I have been known to throw rocks at them (when the ranger was not looking) but they don't back off and leave you alone. Aaaaaargh!!”

“lizs, you do know that she-who-starts-the-thread HAS to go on the trip, dontcha?”

“"damn scorchy, no cigs, no candy. whats next, no sex?"

I wouldn't go that far”

“dont forget the batteries”

“Packed and read' ta go”

“No, no the thread starter does not have to go. Too soon... too little notice. Maybe some other time.

Right now I'm considering Ocala.”

“and you were teasing me about toys.....”

“Dang liz!
Now whatchya doin' tellin' people how to feed horses?

NJPacker, I think some of them mooks are from Baltimore and Philadelphia too!

Mary Phyl, funny, the wild horses seem like BIG rats to me.
I've seen 'em totally toss campsites where people have left food out.
We've had to chase them away bangin' pots and pans........and chucked a rock or two.”

“Just trying to be my ever-helpful self, Tom. :-) LOL”

“Doh!!!

Those dang day-trippers feed 'em and leave and the campers are stuck with the BIG RATS sniffin' around for more!

Sometimes they mosey on in at night and we have to post a guard with a two-by-four!!!

j/k about the two-by-four!

Aw, I couldn't really be mad at you!”

“ROAM! Get yer mind outta the gutter,.. who said anything about batteries for TOYS??”

“Electric weasel?”

“LMAO”

“You can train a weasel to do that??????”

“""damn scorchy, no cigs, no candy. whats next, no sex?"

I wouldn't go that far"

Am I the only one that misunderstood this????”

“I dunno, this trip sounds kinda... exposed. If you can't get sunburn, I guess windburn is the next best thing?”

“Probably be a little chilly and damp cold feels coldest. Should be fun, bring a kite!”

“it was about the sex toys. it was always about the sex toys. dont let scorchbush tell you anything else.

BUZZ BUZZZZZZZZZ”

“i believe that there is no FRESH water anywhere on the island. so pack in all you need. im sure tom stupendous can confirm this. tom?”

“nevermind. tom just said there is fresh water at the campsites”

“i take it from all the horse-raiding-campsite posts that food should be kept in tents?”

“WHOA!!!

Food should be kept in hard containers and cars!!!

The horses will trash your tent to get to the food!!!

Picture if you will a 600-800 pound racoon!”

“LOL at storm, she's gonna kill us...”

“.....or wear you out, one!”

“hmmmm, wonderin what I'll do with the food now. I guess there's no trees for hanging it up. Are all the sites car camp type setups?”

“Am I the only one that misunderstood this????"

OH MY GOD! They killed Roam Around!

YOU BASTARDS!”

“so, what, im gonna need a canister like you do in grizzly country?”

“No, poops, we'll just put all the food in your tent”

“ill damn well eat it”

“Aww, you're answering to poops again, how sweet. My little schmoopie tart.”

“well thats all anyone fcking calls me”

“that's cause we love u”

“LOL, if ya can't fight 'em, join 'em, right?”

“Geez, if you're backpackin' I don't know about the food.

I ASSumed that you guys would be car camping.

You could car camp and drive south to the end of the road and dayhike the beach.”

“The beach... ahh”

“Where the hell are we meeting for this trip and what time??”

“A trip closeby.... gotto do this one.”

“A winter storm would be awesome to watch from the beach!”

“I want to go. but only if I can bring my kayak”

“Only if you bring enough to share with the whole class maple. You know the rules.”

“The bay side of Assateague Island is nice for canoeing and kayaking.

There are lots of marshy inlets where snowy egrets hang out and those skanky horses, too.”

“ohhhh ok, tell tell Treebeard that I can go.


umm you mean allow other people in my kayak?

umm got to think about that”

“i think the canoe camps are closed in winter. call 301 641 3030”

“why would we need a canoe camp?
just pull the yak up on land”

“Sat, 1/24: meet at 9am at Backcountry Trail parking lot
