Tc4 attendance

“i use caps at work...too hard to switch back to "work" and switch the caps key before i hit my prog”

“I'm camping where the majority is camping...so I'll just drive aimlessly through town like last time until I find everyone.”

“What time are you showing up Friday?”

“Either early Friday or late Thursday.”

“ok the camping is in Cumberland Gap and I thought I made that clear I am sure I did....
But when you check in you will be directed to the camping area. If you get in late it is in the middle of town next to Post Office. Look for other tents. It is not down next to the railroad tracks this year.
Thanks
Barbara”

“Ok...fine..I will camp at the campground Thursday eve and with the wild group fri eve......if I stink it is y'alls fault!!!!LOL...cause I sure don't wanna miss anything.......”

“I truely think y'all have a misconception about TC4.....I have heard stories about TC2.....and TC3 was nothing like it...it was a GREAT trip.....there were kids there....everyone behaved.....I just get the impression y'all think it will be a big drunken party.....”

“I hate having to pre-commit to the shuttle. Right now I think I might be coming down with a cold. So I might be miserable come TC4... or at least winded and not wanting to climb up the mt, which I guess is the plan now.

Am I supposed to sign up and spend whatever for the shuttle now? And lose the money if I don't ride it? OR... what are the odds of getting a trip in the shuttle if you don't pre-sign up? I can understand that those who signed up should have priority, but is there a chance to get on if it's not full? And do shuttles run up to Hensley other than the one that's "committed" to folks going to the cookoff.

I am definitely not happy about the runny nose I have this a.m.!! And I'm feeling hot, then cold. Damn it! My co-worker is sick-sick. I knew that was trouble!!”

“Just put in for the shuttle you don't pay until Saturday. I talked to the park and we do need number of people by Tuesday but we may have spots left on Friday night. We are working with the shuttle service to make sure everyone thats wants to go up will get to. Also when you register you can tell us if you are staying in the park longer to backpack just need to have your name and sites you plan to be at and the dates.
Later
Barbara
Later

“TC3 was nothing like TC2.

Yes, it is a crowd, but just think of this as a TT convention. Be there or be square.”

“I'm riding the shuttle up to Hensley on Friday at 1:30 in the afternoon....Gonna set up and read/sleep, so I'll be fresh on Saturday night when the party REALLY cranks up...lol.

I missed last year so I have a question, how's the firewood situation...do we all need to scavenge for wood or what? (Don't want to miss the firewalking event ya know what I mean?) ;-)”

“Wow.. you would have to bring that up ST.

;)”

“Lizs is right though, Matt. Since I posted the cookoff on the /trips page, the website treats my "exit after posting" by taking me to the trips signup page.

I do like how you linked the trips page to the threads though. That really is a great improvement. Now if I am looking for a trip, it's easy to stop the threads without going to the trips page first.

;)”

“"stop" should have been "spot".

How do I use the edit feature?”

“ST, there was a moderate amount of firewood available last year. I wouldn't think we will have much problem scavaging enough for a nice fire.”

“ut oh....I was just informed today that we are working Saturday ....Oct. 16th......I am not sure my boss will let me off Fri and Saturday!!!
:(”

“I have just realized I am off this weekend. WEll can I still get a space? Dang I have been so busy I have almost forgotton..oh gosh”

“No Divinity!! You have to come!”

“Well...maybe if I take off Saturday instead of Friday I can swing it.....dang of all weekends to run an extra day.....sat would be all overtime and I just got a nice raise:(
I will have to talk to my boss and will know more Mon ( she is off today.....went to Philadelphia to gamble to celebrate her 50th birthday....)....and poo..I wanted to have a nice non hurried drive up....and have all day Friday to just mess around....”

“

"and have all day Friday to just mess around....”
divinity

Hmmmmmm, like to mess around, huh. I like that in a girl!”

“I bet! :P”

“I am still having a hard time with driving directions...can anyone help me out?”

“I can try -- does this help?

“I just found some info on Wilderness Road Shuttles/Tours. Is this a different shuttle service from what the National Park Service offers? Sounds like they offer three shuttles a day, plus one-ways IF there's space.

“lookin forward to this. Ope, I caught the weather pun! Mohaaaaa! I should be in town noonish fri, Yo BARE!”

“the hubby doesn't want to come, not a fan of driving all that way by myself. so i am working on getting a friend to tag along. we just came back from two week in new england, it sure would be nice to have more cold weather. see yall sooooooooon”

“So Wilderness Road shuttles run at 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Morning one has most room. Barb, are these the ones you're using, or are you setting up a special one at a different time just for the TT group?

Oh, and I found out that Wilderness Road WILL let you take dogs in their shuttle "if properly handled." That just might be a lifesaver to someone, Opie. :-P”

“HMMMmmmmm.... a 9 am shuttle could be cutting it a bit close after the Breakfast Contest Doodad... dependening on when that starts... and where.

Don't wanna wait 'til 1:30 though --

Are these the O-fficial shuttles or no? {G}”

“I am beginning to think I wasted my time building that site.”
humanpackmule

Do you mean at this site, which is given as a link on the trip page?

www.titaniumchef.com.

It leads to: "No web site is configured at this address."

Without the trailing period it works fine. However, prior to that link the site address is mentioned with an underline, but it is not a link. And there are a number of things underlined there on the trip page that are not links. This is one reason I use a different color for links.

The Heritage Trails Festival pages, to which I believe you are referring, are beautiful and informative.

BTW, this is just an observation. I'm sorry I didn't notice it long ago.”

“Wait....back up....hold on.......DUB is bringing a girl????”

“You'll like her Div, she can cook and she can build and fire an M16.”

“LOL...hahahha...well..I already like her if you do....”

“Dub...when did you say you were arriving in CG???”
