Ithaca Car Camping trip

“Yeah, Mark. I am really sorry about the time mix-up. I hope I didn't get you in hot water with the boss!”

“I better change the clock in the car. Didn't think of that one...”

“No, as a matter of fact, she just walked by on her way in.

I apologized and she says, "no problem".

Actually, there was no 7:00 AM bus on Sunday, only 3:45 then 9:00.

I got to talk to a very nice disturbed fellow who had been up for three days and just got back from Atlantic City.
He lit a cigarette in the coffee shop and created quite a stir.”

“No 7 AM bus? Oh well. Hope you had a good time anyway...”

“I had a blast, the guy wanted me to join him at some dang horse track.

He says, "Now when's the last time you went to the race track?"

Says I, "Hmmmmmm, I think it was 1971."”

“You should have told him you'd go, but he'd need to stake all your bets!”

“My vacation is officially ok'd! Woo Hoo!!!

I will officially join the car camping club!”

“That's cool!

I guess I can't steal your site now.”

“You can stay with me if you want. Wait, my vacation hasn't been approved yet!!!!”

“Geobeet better watch out for crosschecks. lol”

“Is that a hockey term, zac?”

“Yes

Definition: To check illegally in ice hockey by striking an opponent with one's hockey stick held in both hands and lifted off the ice.”

“LOL you all are crazy!”

“And getting worse, Tango!”

“hmm like i mentioned earlier in the Who would you want to meet thread i hope to make it up there and if anyone wants to hitch a ride with a northbound GA boy...ill need someone to keep me awake...”

“Kidnap lyra on your way by D.C., shep.”

“I wouldn't mind giving anyone a ride up but I am taking a week to drive up to stop and see the sights along the way, same for the trip back. Sorry.”

“you know how to plan the assault Tom? i got the equipment for it...”

“Cool, man!

One of those bodybag-size duffels will do......and she don't weigh much.

We could lure lyra with stuffed monkeys......and then stuff her in the sack.”

“gotcha...how about just some monkeys in a barrel..i think i saw some of those on sale..this abduction will have to stay on a budget...hmmm how about just my sleeping bag...i can tie off the top like a sacka taters....”

“I like this plan!”

“Mark-O you can use my Adventure Master pack. Check out the pics on the trip you missed this weekend...”

“yea,.. i slept in it as a bag!”

“Bivysackbackpack.....”

“I'm thinking of trying to make this car camping trip without a car.

If I fly in somewhere close Friday, will someone be able to give me a ride to and from?”

“Only if we designate a driver for that particular day, Stovie Ray!”

“We will be up there on Thursday, so if you are going to make it on Friday, the NYC airports are out because we won't be there. Therefore you must fly into Ithaca or something close. I will be able to get you. That's no problem. Get some travel info and let's see what we can do!”

“I'd think if you can get to Ithaca sometime early in the day, somebody could swing by and tote you the rest of the way.”

“Tree beat me to it. Now if he could only cook with such blinding speed!”

“Bastard! I got the goods this year, baby. Better make some good food to compete, bro!”

“Stove, here is a nearby airport!

Ithaca”

“What city are you flying out of?”

“what are you making tree?”

“Mobile, Al or Gulfport, MS”

“Does this campground have showers?”

“I can't wait to see those two knuckleheads go at it!

Yee-Haw!

Geo versus Tree......grudge match!!!”

“Puttchyer ribs where yer mouth is!!!








How the hell else can we taste it?”

“I'm not making ribs!”

“grrrrrrrrrrr :(”

“mapleleafgrrrrrrr??????????”

“(you know who you are)”

“Well said, lumberzac!”

“no im mad he is not making his ribs”

“Stove, I found the closest airpiorts to the area.'
(ITH) Tompkins County Airport
(SYR) Syracuse Airport
(BGM) Binghampton
(ELM) Elmira

I did a quick check on air fares and they were not cheap to Ithaca (Tompkins). So, these others are all within about an hour of Ithaca. Elmira is about half hour, Binghampton 40 minutes and Syracuse an hour. Maybe this way, we can get you a cheaper fare with a few more choices than just Ithaca. See what you can come up with. I would be willing to drive a little extra to help you get a lower price...”

“Stove, you have mail”

“Stove, you may have to punch in the info in the links I sent.

One is for Elmira, NY (ELM)

The other for Syracuse (SYR)”

“Can this guy Stove Stomper cook?”
