Pine Barrens Trip - Resurrection!

“nm

:(

operating on little sleep.....can't make decisions - want everyone to be happy”

“Pinin' for the slate mines, ynami?”

“I'm sooooooooo happy!”

“Land of my Fathers.
Well he lives there now anyway - heading there in the summer :o)”

“well, let me know if you want to go up on that following weekend and we will take you. I can't get out two weekends in a row. I am pretty bound down between kids, mom, scouts and other responsibities that it doesn't leave me much leverage and time in getting away...”

“ynami, my family name is Welsh.......some of my fathers too, I reckon.”

“May be a little far for me Twinks, but if you were to head south instead???”

“Mark Welsh?”

“Harriman is a long run for me. Still not sure about the tree family's trip, but I'm a maybe for that one.”

“yep Mark - my mother was Welsh. They bought a house in Pembrokeshire a few years ago and he still has it. Looking forward to going there.”

“Suggestion Twinks:

Can we just do one day of really kickass dayhiking in Harriman?

I have all maps and guidebooks for Harriman right here...

Have you ever hiked the 1777 trails or been through the Doodletown area?”

“I love that hike, Adventurist. I just did it again with my scouts a few months ago. We found a real cool iron mine this time. Great trip. I am always open to that one...”

“Maybe you know...

What section actually still has the cobblestone road?”

“I do remember a stretch like that, Adv. But, not having the map in front of me, I can't ID it. Trying to get a hold of Maple. She may know what the section is called. I'll get back to you...”

“I've actually done that section three times....not really keen on doing it for this trip. It is a nice trail though...”

“We could do the Suffren-Bear Mtn trail across the park?







Maybe that's overshooting?”

“Adventurist, I am going to look that trail map over at home later and try to answer your question about the cobblestones. Perhaps, we can get together at a different time and do this hike. It IS an enjoyable trail and has lots of history there....”

“wow talk about confusion..


anywho, i can not make this trip. i have been invitied to:

Eco-Volunteer, kayakers & canoers...4th Annual Gowanus Earth Day Flotillas Spring Clean-up.

sorry twinks, but I need to start maikng contections with people like this. i do hope you can still make the trip to harriamn. if not we will hook up soon!


If anyone is interested in this volunteer work, email me and i will give you all the info”

“well - you suck :p”

“lol...

As I always say:

If you build it they will come...

Make up a trip Twinks, and if people want to hike they will show!”

“i did - it's on the trip page.


I have a favor to ask you - will you read my reaserach paper this Saturday and give some feedback? (LOL - I know it's a shot in the dark but hey it's worth asking - and then you can make fun of how bad my paper is??”

“Passin' bad paper?”

“nah - it's my insecurities showing - the paper will be good - maybe not great but that's because I've got many more classes to go before I truely start to comprehend the topic and it's implications....

But my professor is tough and I'm worried about citings etc....”

“I'm not an expert but one more person always helps...

Send it to me by email and I'll look it over to the best of my abilities...

I would never make fun of you!

Well, unless you did a faceplant in the snow and couldn't get back up!”
