Not a good weekend for many I presume. Mostly because of things iwht the kids that weekend. I'd like to go this year, but will not be able to make that date.

I'd especially like to go to hike with the new and improved version of Ewker.

Mount Rogers was my first TT trip over 5 years ago. It will always have a special place in my heart.

I'm a maybe, they gave me the pager for Halloween Weekend and I am scheduled to work at the Redskins game as the undercover claims adjuster. I might be able to do some finegalling and do it.

LOL! but excuse me missy, if I remember correctly, I left you in charge of the shelter whilst I ventured out to find others in the group. btw - wanna shack up in that motel again? ;o)

That's why Earth's always looking so hard for bears in Shenandoah, he's a poacher after gall bladders. Bad ENS.

The only thing infamous about the Mt. Roger's trip is the infamous weather - other than that its a great trip

Absolutely, the evening's entertainment can then be the group discussing what's going to happen to you when you get home. That should be fun.
