Baxter Snow Ball trip report

“I love it when people don't remember things that I do...
;)

we want pictures!
feed me Seymour!”

“Hey Pennsy, could you please hurry up with the pics? If not I'm going to ralph on your car.”

“better on than in”

“Yeah, that's right, no surprise Twigeater Pic. It didn't come out, that's right, it doesn't exist.... does it? And if it did, I'm sure that Pennsy wouldn't email it to me in the address in my profile (would you Pennsy?)

And of course, I wouldn't enjoy immense pleasure from it either....”

“More pics, more pics....”

“I think we should beat on the table...”

“One thing about these winter trips, it doesn't take long before it seems normal to put on your cold weather gear just to go to the bathroom.
What's weird is how normal it feels to get up with 5 days of unwashed bed head hair and let a bunch of guys take your picture on the way to that outhouse - and smile doing it, LOL!
Actually, I could make a whole list of how weirdly normal things get after a few days in the woods with strange people from the internet...
Kinda like that video we watched...”

“Yes, their philosphies on women are something that we should all take to heart.”

“What's the name of the video, we'll try to rent it.... or visit Twigeater's movie sanctum....”

“Sooo...I have a question...

Why is it taking Pennsy so long to post those pictures?

The guy never works any...”

“It's because he took a ton of pictures and he crops them to 1024 X 768. I'll wait for Pennsy's pics...they are that good.”

“I think the documentary is called "Dead River Rough Cut". I believe I saw it at the video store located next to the Olsen Twin movies.”

“You can get Dead River Rough Cut through Maine Historical Society or Amazon.com

Do a Google search on Dead River Rough Cut and you'll see a ton of places. The few I checked offer it fro $24.95.”

“Hey Pennsy that picture of twigeater is hilarious. Being the evil person that I am I have decided to post it here.

Picture ”

“Not even funny Zac!!!! Even fake virusus are not a joke.”

“LOL @ lumberzac.
I always preview links BEFORE I click them! violin hasn't caught me in a long time! ;-)”

“Note to self: Continue checking links in status bar before clicking.”

“Sorry I couldn't resist.”

“Stove, how do you preview a link?”

“LT put your mouse over the link and the address of the link should display in the lower left corner of your browser, if your using i.e. (don’t know about Netscape). Right click on the link to make sure that the real address has not been hidden with a fake one.”

“this is boring as heII without Pennsy's pictures - I say we call in sick for him so he can get them done!

=D”

“LtHiker- If you are using IE and do not see the status bar at the bottom of the page: click View and then make sure Status Bar is checked. You can also right click the link and select Properties to see what the URL is.”

“THANKS SKI. I am in tax hell right now i just found out yesterday that my bookkeeper sucks!!!!”

“Where are Pennsy's pics?

JIHAD PENNSY!”

“I cruised his webshots albums in case he was playing an April fool on us...have you seen his Spiritfalls pictures?
cool!”

“I don't have all my pictures up on webshots yet, but nobody is screaming at me.”

“That's because you have some of the pictures up.”

“I was wondering about that skiracer...

PUT THE REST OF THEM UP!

=D”

“Are they that bad, lumberzac?

and twigeater...quichyerbellyachin'”

“No, because you have some pictures up you're not at the top of the list. NOW GO POST THE REST OF YOUR PICTURES, DAMN IT!”

“"quichyerbellyachin'"
for a minute there, I thought skeetahbait was posting...

Did anybody get a picture of the full moon?
=D”

“I didn't get the full moon shot. You'll also be happy to know that the early morning pictures on Monday morning didn't turn out so well. Maybe good enough for the web, though.”

“I didn't know there was a full moon out last weekend!”

“Oh yes you did...you certainly knew.”

“instead of man in the moon, it was moon of the man...

LOL!
It so happens that I wish I could get my hair to do that every day! :)”

“I didn't know jerbear was on this trip. ;-)”

“Wow, sounds like you all had a really great trip. All the pictures and all the fun sledding. Almost makes me miss snow.”

“Geez, y'all sure know how to nag. ;o)
For the record, I've narrowed the 225 pics down to 70. I can only put 60 in a Webshots album so I have to decide who misses the cut. I do have them all resized, cropped and slightly tweaked so they WILL be up tonight.

I don't know what the fuss us though. I haven't had time to really look at everybody else's pics, but from what I've seen, mine won't be much different. Mine certainly will NOT be any better. You guys (and gal) did great. :o)

Zac - I know you were only joking, but please never ever show that link to me. It's supposed to be harmless but it locks up my pc. I've fallen for it twice and both times I had other programs running and lost data because I had to reboot. It really pisses me off that Violin does that crap.”

“quit flapping yer gums and put up the dang pictures!

LOL...
;)”

“I gotta agree with pennsy. That crap from Violin is uncalled for and it really screws up a PC. You know, these PC's have a lot of valuable info in them and this is really friggin outrageous that he does that junk.

Okay...... it is April fools day, so maybe a little latitude, but it really ruined the day for us. I fell it goes over the bounds of common decency.....”

“fell=feel”

“Ok you naggers,
here's my dang pics.

Now I can take a breather and enjoy everyone else's pics.

Zac - If my above post sounds like I was mad at you, I wasn't. :o)”

“No, Skiracer, it's Kwitchyabellyakin..... :) - that used to be my screen name, but changed it so I didn't scare anyone off with it.....

I don't think anyone got that pic of the full moon, it was just too much of a shock, I think.

Yeah, what MB and Pennsy said about that crap from Violin....I tried it when I was at work...holy molly, it freaked me out, ifin my IT guys got a load of that, I coulda got into big trouble for that. See why I don't do much at work?

PICS, PICS, PICS (as I pound on the table with my fists) :)”

“Great pics!!!! Man, you really did a great job at composing those waterfall shots. Those are seriously kick arse. That's why you're the master!”

“Great pictures everyone. Sorry about the prank. I hope it didn't screw up anyone's work on their computer. I can't wait to check this place out this summer.”

“Yay! those pictures are awesome!!
you are the master, Mr Pennsylvania Hiker. Artex is right, those waterfall shots are great!

Can I have a CD with all of 'em, pretty please???
I'll give you all your chest hairs back - if I can find 'em that is :)”

“#41 is my desktop background, is that ok Bruce? Howe Brook Falls looks sooooooo different in winter.

SO...is next winter's trip north or south Baxter?

did anyone mention that the only other person we saw for four days was that ranger?”

“Here's some links to all our pics:

Monkeyboy's pics 1
Monkeyboy's pics 2
Skiracer's pics
Twigeater's pics
Pennsy's pics

Artex, where the heck are yours??
Thanks for the compliments, but everybody did great. I just took a nice trip down mempory lane. I want to go back!”

“I'll have mine up by tomorrow.. I promise. But mine are Pepe' Lepew compared to Pennsy's.”

“he really captured the color of the ice...
and that Katahdin one is AWEsome...

can't wait to see yours Artex!”
