“Pennsy,

the quickest way to CH is I-81 to I-26 to US 19 north, through Burnsville to Micaville and south on NC 80. Colberts Ridge and Buncombe Horse trail used to come out on Colbert Cr Rd directly across from each other, CR trail now comes out about 0.5 mile toward NC 80”

Yeah, as long as you don't wake up...

“What's our game plan for this trip, anyway?”

“soon as you get off of work head west and meet me, from there we will head south and crash somewhere in Burnsville, NC. Probably at the Hardees where everyone is meeting Friday morning.”

“We're crashing at a fast food restaurant's parking lot??? What's up with that?”

“not sure where we'll crash”

“that'll make it easy to get a good biscuit for breakfast man!

Dual use sleeping!”

“Hardees Breakfast Friday morning will be nice. Roam are you still jumping in at Mitchell? You can only reach Mitchell from Asheville on the Pkwy, but you would be coming from the south anyhow. That would be awesome if you can do the whole hike. This is going to be an awesome trip!!”

“dang it all. looks like i'm gonna miss out on this one. I'm not going to be moved in time after all and I'm also have nowhere to leave my daughter over the weekend. She's a tough 10 yr old, but this hike would be a bit much for her.

I hate it, I was really looking forward to this one.

maybe next time.”

“sorry to hear that Roam, hope to catch you on another trip”

“oh yeah, you can bet on it.”

“I now pronounce you King Bailer. Really he does'nt want to hear my $h!? next weekend when Ga KICKS Tenn. BUTT TODAY!!!!!!!

“what town is the closest to where we are hiking next weekend. I want to be able to check the forecast later on next week.”

“Burnsville, NC
it's looking good so far. It'll be pretty cool, but so far it's sunny all three days.”

“yeah I checked it but wasn't sure if there was something closer.
I am wanting to bring my 45° bag to save weight. Plus thinking about my 1 person tent. I hate it cause it is like a coffin...lol”

“How 'bout dem dawgs NOW!


lol

hey Ewker, be sure and hum "Rocky Top" while your climbing Celo right behind Blalock next weekend.”

“hum!! hell I am bringing a tape of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing Rocky Top”

“I think you would be ok with the 45 if you dress warm with in it. It will get down pretty cold over the night.”

“LMAO!!!!!”

“ENS are you on AIM or Yahoo”

“aim = rdanner202”

“You guys have a big advantage over me right now, you can kiss my A$$ and I can't. Oh yea, bring that 45 deg bag there, it'll be good from about 3PM until 3:30 PM. on Friday. I'm wondering if 15 deg is going to be warm enough??? Damn my pride hurts right now.”

“Blalock, you must be a wimp like those dawgs ;)”

“lol Blalock, how are the Braves doing? Cards just got their buttskicked by the Dodgers.

I typically take my 20 degree bag on every trip I go on.”

“I got your Whimp hanging a little to the left and LOW. It's about DAMN time you bunch of Vols got it done too bad Casey could'nt have played 5 yrs. Just bring old 45 deg with ya, we'll see who's a whimp!!! F-the Braves, what about those Falcons?

“We will be Frickin' Freezin' next week @ present!!! About like the Braves bats!!!”

“I'm ready, let's see what Deep Gap is going to dish us!! It's was pretty cold there back in July and windy too.”

“37 deg low Friday in Burnsville. -9 deg for 3000' elev., + windchill = Burrr!!!! No more Mr. Bigglesworth

“that temp could change 20 times by the time Friday night rolls around.”

“OK Einstine, 40+ mile per hour winds is min. on top. The high-low this week has been low 40's in Burnsville, and were 3000 ' above Burnsville, you do the math.”

“you get testy when the dawgs lose :)”

“No , actually I testy because I'm drunk!!!!HAHA!! I ain't mad at ya.”

“lol, I know your not. Just hope you didn't have a hang over in the morning.”

“Nope, I took Chaser, Sike. There will be a flask of anti-freze in the Bora 80 next Friday. What do you think Y2, a little Crown???”

“hmm, what kinda of spirits will go nicely on this trip? What to bring, what to bring...

What kind of spirits is everyone bringing?”

“It's the only thing I know that does'nt need a mixer”

“woodford reserve..need I say anything else”

“Are you still gonna sleep under the tarp?”

“T.N.T.

Now, whether that will be dynamite or the infamous Northeastern backpacking beverage -- I'll let yous decide...”

“Hey, what the hell? Only I'm supposed to post in blue...
