Shenandoah this weekend?

“I would love to, but I'm booked this weekend. Try me in October.”

“I'm going to do the OLP in PA.”

“somewhere in the southern district on Sunday...”

“Bison, Sunday morning at mcd's 6am?”

“Sounds good.”

“you both suck!

I can't even go to the beach down here because of suspected sewer leaks and potentially high concentrations of fecal matter in coastal waters!!!!!!

FL SUCKS!!!!!”

“So wtf are you doin' in Florida? you have all day tommorow to find a flight up here.”

“that sucks Roam, but it won't be long...

cool Bison”

“yeah Roam, come hiking with us.. if you come up, we maybe could go to Old Rag”

“Roam $182 from Fort Lauderdale RT on orbitz.”

“that's probably united. lol Bison only flies United.

That's not bad for last minute”

“It's USair, I flew Delta to Wyoming, wasn't bad, but United is definetly preferable.”

“lmao

I'm checking to see what airtran has”

“Old Rag is better than Disney World!”

“LOL, that is a good deal! but what about these short people that live here?”

“in just a few short weeks I'll be living within a two hour drive of Mt. Mitchell!”

“bring em with, they would love Old Rag, like I said, better than Disney World. (period)”

“in just a few short weeks I'll be living within a two hour drive of Mt. Mitchell!"
Roam Around

not fair. When I live in PA I will live 9 hours from Mt. Mitchell. I will live 7 hours from Mt. Washington though.

3 hours from Shenandoah. 2 hours from the Loyalsock trail. 2 hours from Ricketts Glen and Worlds End. 4 hours from the Catskills and 5 hours from the Adks.”

“Bison, that fare is pretty friggin good, I can't beat it with the cheapos.”

“I am the master of finding the cheap flight on the major carriers.”

“honestly, I couldn't even get close with the cheapos. We're talking the cheapest was $365.”

“I can get United for $266 non-stop round trip.”

“Where will you be in PA that puts you 3 hours from Shenandoah? That's what it takes me to get there and I'm in PA - Mt Washington NH though is about 9 1/2 hours from my place...”

“Reading area”

“I'll be living about an hour south of Asheville, NC in about 2 or 3 weeks!”

“you'll have all of the sixers with in an easy drive. you suck”

“Nope, I don't suck.

I climb!

I climb sixers!

Now, were is Gemini's address.... seems like she was talking about sixers too......”

“man, you will have the peaks of Roan closeby..”

“yo ENS where is the hike tomorrow? details please”

“man, you will have the peaks of Roan closeby.."
EarthNsky

and the craggy, the black, the smokies, the balsams, the great balsams, the unicoi, oh the list goes on and on!”

“ENS - I want to get in a hike in the south district. Either the Rocky Mountain/Brown Mountain loop, or the Turk Branch loop."

“HOI email me your phone number

rdanner202 @aol.com”

“bump for Bison”

“The south district's a little far for me tommorow, I wanna be back by one. How about the Dark Hollow long circuit, 6.4 miles, starts from Big Meadows? Passes Dark Hollow falls and Rose River falls which should both be roaring with all the rain.”

“sounds good to me”

“Hog On Ice can you read me? breaker breaker, over”

“yo ENS - I emailed around 1:30 - I take it it did not get there?

Anyways I am thinking of doing some trail maintenance tomorrow and so I won't be there with ya'll. I suspect the Bald Mtn. Tr. will have a few nedw blowdowns to take care of and I know that at least half of the trail still needs to be brushed up.”

“I'm not TOO far from where you'll be - southern end of Lancaster County - a little over an hour away. I've been trying to get together with folks interested in Shenandoah - bearmagnet and a couple others from here on TT and some from BP.com. Maybe we can get a weekend trip put together sometime for this fall or maybe in the spring...?”

“definitely. Bison is in VA just west of DC and he goes to Shenandoah all the time. He and Hog On Ice know a ton about Shenandoah. I'm sure we can set something up for the fall. Phantom Soul also said he wants to get a fall trip in at Shenandoah this year. So it looks like there is a good amount of interest to do it.”

“I'd like to do Shenandoah sometime too.

I'll keep an eye out when you guys start planning something.”

“BearMagnet is also near DC - I've been trying to get him to come to Shenandoah for awhile now, but I heard he's now working weekends...”

“ENS - are we getting people together to hike the Brown Mtn/Rocky Mtn loop on Saturday?”

“this coming Saturday - the 25th?”

“yeah, let's do it! My last hike while living in the DC area!”

“want to do it as an overnighter? Friday night to Saturday. Do a small night hike?”

“I place you in charge. lol”

“I can't do Friday night, I could do Saturday to Sunday overnighter.

Either way and only if it's a dayhike we gotta get the rest of our no-hiking area TTer's out for it.

BTW - the guidebook describes this hike as Strenous - For Experienced Hikers Only.”

“Can only go Saturday. I need to be in PA Sunday looking for apartments.”

“y'all suck.”
