NO BODY would go back for more of the Pa. rocks, where hiking boots go to die.

Shame, Bobo, shame!

Yes, I do believe I posted somewhere that I would get Crash a new pair of boots if he made it through the PA rocks. How's your boots holding up Crash???

Capn Bobo..had I not just experienced the wonderful PA rocks myself, I might have done that to Crash but I'll be a trail angel and drop him at DWG or a site of his choosing. By the way, I destroyed a brand new pair of Lowa Tanarks by the time I hit Port Clinton. I'll even settle for a pair of socks !! LMAO.... You da man...

NJ, I have to e mail you instructions to my house, right? Just tell me where in Joisey you are coming from...

No sweat NJ. Just drive onto Staten Island and look for a big pile of kayaks. You can't miss it.
Geobeet

And despite the normally nauseating smell of Staten Island, follow your nose to the extra-nauseating smell (which would be that of the thru hiker). Staten Island is not that big, but fighting the traffic might be another story...

On another note, sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I'm glad we got Stormbringer a ride without having to put him on a bus. Thanks, NJ -- you da man!

Hey Bobo, looks like nobody wants to be set back west of DWG to rehike the Key-STONE State...

But then again, who could blame him?

Maybe Bobo likes walking on the rocks ... ever think of that?

no no no!

Bobo no likes the PA rocks either. Obviously, this was yet another joke that has gone terribly wrong...
- my bad.

Crash Bang will be rejuvenated and ready to RUN back to the AT after this weekend! And think about all that easy hiking in NJ, NY, Berkshires....

A good luck kiss from Scorchy and he'll be skipping back up the trail!
trah lala lala!

Kewl Beens: I picked up a guide to the Finger Lakes. There's a paleontological museum in Ithaca. I've gotta see that!

NJ, I will e mail you the route. Don't trust Maoquest. They will send you through Virginia!

Ok, this rain isn't even funny anymore. Half of New Jersey is underwater and there's ponding-related accidents all over the place. I drove 5 miles to EMS to pick up some supplies for Ithaca and saw 5 different accidents along the way. Is there a full moon out tonight?

Say Geobeet, you still building that ark?

It's just isolated crap. That means that maybe if the dew point is just right, a afternoon thunderstorm may pop up. Sounds like a refreshing shower to me. We can all take our clothes off and get a shower from mother nature.

WK, you took the thoughts right out of my head. Hell, when it rains, we can go down to the pool at the base of the Falls and sit there with the water teeming down. We may not even know it's raining!!!

Maple, if you are going to drop acid in the morning, the hallucinations may be more intense than if you did it later. I hope you ate something first!

TWIGNUT IS NOT GOING??? I am bribing my teens with ideas of meeting people from the big city!!!
I have been noticing on the beaches there are very few families with teens, creating Kodak moments. Sniff sniff the babies are getting ready to fledge

this is the second family trip she has blown off. but at that age, not sure if it's a good thing for her to go or a better thing for us that she is not going.

I was preparing to go alone, and not going to shed too many tears, but alas they both(almost 16) are looking forward to a break from their 40 hr per week jobs. One small detail they have no clue that it will be nearly 9 hours in the car. I am encouraging them to pack their summer reading assignments, as they will have some time for that
