Colder than a Blair Witch's T*t: Part du ece

“Puke if ya gotta.”

“I am still not 100% sure. It's soooo far to drive and my kids now want me to go rock climbing with them (scouts).”

“: P”

“There's gonna be.........”

“Sorry we aren't going to make this one. We, however, will be doing the family thing and we are taking the kids to the Daks for snow tubing.

Mark-O, I still have your saw. I meant to give it back to you on this trip. What do you want to do as far as getting it back. Do you want me to send it?

Wait, I think I am going to see you at the end of the month anyway, right. Not sure if that's a definite. Let me know what you want to do.


Have a great time, everyone!”

“There IS a party Friday - at Dahlgren!”

“I started out with a sore throat like yours on Monday. By last night, I was almost dehydrated with fever and diarrhea. Still fell like crap this morning (no pun intended), but taking that immodium stuff. I'm still planning on being down at Dahlgren Friday afternoon between 3 and 5, so MarkO, techntrek and I will meet up with Spam.

I'll be there for the weekend no problem.

“The thought alone of you guys all having the crap is scaring the #&%!$ out of me. {hahahah, that doesn't sound better, but hey...}. lol. Really now... I don't want to get sick, can't get sick! Never get sick, but having like tons of sick people around me might just change that.

that didn't sound right...got to edit...

“The combination of cold air and Jim Beam ought to knock the sickness right out of everyone!!”

“....is the route:

40 Alt (Turners Gap) to Hemlock Hill Shelter (Wolfville Road RT17)

40 Alt (Turners Gap) to Foxville Road (RT77)

OR

RT70 to either of the above ending points.

Inquiring minds would like to know....


Thanks Squilax.....

“I think they were going to finalize the route Friday night. Up 'til now, nobody's been really sure what route we're taking.”

“Treebeard, hang on to the saw.

I have another.

See ya soon......give my regards to......something.”

“Ok, Mark!”

“I'm a 50%er at the mo too.”

“Do I hear another 50%??

Come on, it's gonna be a party!

Just mind your sleeping bag around Scorchie!

“I'll give you a percentage.

%99.9999 sure I'll be there. Unless the great gut scourge that is going around hits me first.”

“I cant believe how many of us are sicklings! I am still feeling pretty crapiola, but I really really want to come on this trip. Could the cold weather make me that much sicker?”

“Maybe some good greasy food would bring it all up for those suffering from the gut heavage.”

“No gut heavage for me. Just snot runnage.”

“depends on how I feel. I'm feeling even worse today. If I feel better by Friday - Saturday morning I'll be there. If Y2, Gemini, Bison and Embear are going it will be hard to miss this trip. I'm not bailing yet. I'm still a 90% go.”

“one question...can we have a fire up there?
last edited: 1/12/05 10:19:45 AM”

“Hmmm... Still hope we can make it, but I see feeding Embear chicken soup in bed all weekend in my future.”

“Several people (including me) are bringing firewood for Friday night - allowed or not there will be one.

There are usually fire rings at the shelters. As cold as it is going to be all weekend there will be a fire Saturday night, I'm sure.”

“snot running should not keep u from going.”

“gross....snot runnage....

butt I suppose that's better than having a leaky rear end!”

“Anal leakage and gut heavage?

Yow!

Fire IS dang sure allowed!!!”

“fire good!! I am sort of tired of NO fires. I think my last trips all were without fires.”

“That's partly my fault.....no fire in West Vriginia.

I couldn't get out of my sack and give it a try.

It would have been nice to dry my butt on that trip!”

“Gem, not just snot runnage, but....

snot coughage, head achage, throat sorage and sinus pressurage.”

“marko...i didnt' mean it that way. it was okay, would be nice if we could have a fire this time though.

em...hey...try the cayenne pepper. it works wonders, trust me. LOL Then...before you go to bed...drink a warm beer (yuck...I know, but DO IT!!) cover...and sweat.

you'll be all better tomorrow. AND best part: NO DRUGS!!!”

“I'm piling on the Vit C and eating chicken noodle soup and drinking grapefruit juice. It's all in my chest right now. Got a headache, no snot flow yet. I hope to avoid that.”

“It's the witch doin' it - I'm tellin' ya! I don't think the cayenne pepper thing'll work with what I've got - I'd get burned up and not be able to sit for 3 days!!!”

“okay...i just got done eating...well, can't eat no more because I feel like I am going to puke.

i will not check this damn thread anymore. it's spooked.”

“oooowwwwwww, Squilax. ooooowwwwwww.”

“ROFL! Right now LMFAO would be a GOOD thing!!

“ok..I am okay. no more puky sick feeling. scared me there for a second. thought squilix is sittin' at home with a voodoo doll”

“We're gonna puke and puke and puke and puke and puke until we die!!!!!”

“What the puke is goin' on around here?”

“naaa, I am okay. it was nothing.”

“That's quite enough of this mewling and puking!!”

“Mewling?

Ya had me there MarkO....not a word I have in my vocabulazation memory banks.....I had to use my good ole fashion handy dandy Websters dictionary to school me on that...

Whimpering......Nice!”

“Anybody know what shelter we will be at Saturday night?”

“Shelter? I thought this trip was goin' to the pogo campground.

“See, I think everyone is confused. I have never been on a trip where the details weren't hammered out way in advance. The only points I am sure of:

- most of us will be at Dahlgren Friday night
- offical meet time is 9 am at the Inn
- we'll be doing about 10 miles the whole weekend

Start point? Don't know.
Saturday night camp spot? Don't know.

I've done this area before but still would like to review the data beforehand.”

“techntrek

My take....

Start Point = 40/70 parking area just south of Pine Knob shelter.

Campsite Saturday night = Pogo

End Point = Wolfsville OR Foxville Road just north of Hemlock Hill shelter....prolly Wolfsville road to fit within the original 10 mile trek...

Just my take on the matter....but it don't make no never mind to me....

BTW....will there be snow for a bong? Or should I just roll'em....”

“Stratusloop, there is a line from Shakespeare about a.........."... babe, mewling and puking in his mother's arms...."

I forget which one.”

“I thought we would be hiking south of Turner's Gap down to the Gathland/Crampton's Gap area because that's where Burkittsville is. (Blair Witch Area)

But this is the first time I've gone out there with a group from TT. I'm familiar with the MD AT from I-70 south to Gathland, so if we head north of I-70 this will be "unexplored territory" for me. We actually pass Black Rock and Annapolis Rocks on the way to Pogo, right?

If we are going to do this northern section, then why not stay at Pine Knob Shelter instead of Dahlgren on Friday night?

“I thought we were ending at the Inn, thus the meet spot there on Saturday (and Dahlgren on Friday). If we have a different ending spot then meeting there on Saturday makes no sense.

Hey ScorchFire - this is supposed to be your trip. What's the plan?????”

“MarkO.....I see the light....

You know...when I was in Stratford-Upon-Avon many moons ago....I seem to remember being kicked in the arse by a mewl or was that a mule....ha ha.....I know...it's corny...

Squilax...

My take is based on what the trip page indicated....something about hiking the section between 77 and 40....but didn't indicate which die-rection....so I made some asssumptions....so you might not want to pay any never mind to me....i'm just babbling on...
