“I'm not man enough to camp in Alabama in August.”

Me either....unless it involves getting tanked and passing out on the beach out in back of the Pink Pony.”

“Yea, august and alabama are a baaaad combination.

bugs, heat, undergrowth that grows as you watch

not I”

“maybe...

'fool”

“I might be interested, Divinity. I've wanted to go there. And, I'm man enough to go in August :)”

“I camped down in some creek bed one year in Summer there and got ab-so-lutly eaten alive by redbugs... course I didn't know it until the next day driving home. Some story for the COPs when I start weavin' all over the road scratch scratch.”

“chigars?????

they LOVE my daughter......


...I used Sportsman off & take garlic pills.....that seems to help.....”

“Permanone is the best stuff you can use for chiggers and ticks.

However, I doubt it would be 100% effective in Sipsey in August.”

“i think Alabama is a testing ground for crap like that...bug nets would work”

“If a product holds up in Alabama in August, I would rely on it almost anywhere on the planet.”

“so post the danged trip already!




......................................by crash bang”

“LMAO!!!!!!!”

“youre too easily amused. are you sure youre not tipsey in sipsey?”

“...I don't know about ya'll...BUT...I'm going to Sipsey this weekend!!!!!”

“Have fun!!”

“We are kicking around plans for a trip to ship rock for the second weekend in Decenber but if any one familiar with Quillen I'd interested, that is a definate possibility.”

“toph and I have talked about trying to get a trip up then too.”

“Excellent. I will wait and see if a trip is posted.

If nothing comes together, we will probably just hike up to Ship Rock and take a day hike over to the falls.”

“Since I have pulled out of every single trip I have signed up for the past year.....maybe I'll try not signing up for this.

“Me and michelle are thinking about spending thanksgiving in the Sipsey. 3 nighter, 3 different campsites each a good days hike apart.”

“SS - I've been a master bailer for the last couple of years myself.

Opie - I think the kids and I may be trapsing around there the day after Thanksgiving. We'll have to wear that damn orange, but at least we'll be out. You do recall what ballgame is on Friday afternoon though don't you?”

“We'll be in alabama and should be able to pick up the CTradio network. Does Auburn have a chance?”

“I hope not.”

“I have put in for the week of Thanksgiving, and considering going to Sipsey the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving....anyone game????”

“"I need a vacation...like no bodies' business"
...song from an old commercial......”

“No can do before T'giving.”

“Weekend before T'giving we're going to t-town to watch the Bama game. It'll be my 7 y.o.'s b'day and she actually likes the games.”

“I was going to post a trip for the weekend before Thanksgiving...BUT my boss has not decided if I can have it off yet...grrrr.....Trixie is interested in going...
...anyone else???”

“I may take the kids to see the big tree the day after Thanksgiving. I haven't decided yet if we can get up, get there, get in, get out, and get home in time for the 1:30 Bama/Auburn kickoff.”

“It's bad enough I'll be watching the iron bowl in regular def at my folks, I dang sure won't watch it on a little screen like that.”

“I paid 120...and I'm sorry Div, but I'm on the "Injured Reserve" list...My cancer is back, and unfortunately, it has added Renal Failure to it's list of weaponry....prognosis is it's treatable, but I'm not gonna be running any marathons for a while.....”

“Hey SuperTroll, get well buddy. The boys remember you from the Sipsey. You gave them a neat flashlight and bowls. They still have them.

We've been fighting cancer since March of 08. Our son Trevor was diagnosed with AML Leukemia. After over a year of treatment at Saint Jude's in Memphis he is cancer free and back in school. I've been working on his doctor to allow him to tent camp again. His immune system is on the way back to normal and he is back in school.

We look forward to seeing all of you guys again. We have done a little camper trailer camping since 2008 but that is about it. I spent last weekend with some friends at Fausse Ponte State Park here in Louisiana. I got to meet Chuck D from Texas there. He is an awesome guy and great cast iron chef.”

“Im going! probably spend fri night at my daughters and then hike into my secret spot saturday morning! rain or shine woo hoo!”

“Is that the campsite in West Bee?”

“no....a ways off 200 :)”

“You think shes gonna tell you about the supersecret campsite? hell no!”

“lol..it*s not SUPER secret, but it is far enough off the trail no one knows you are there...you can*t be seen or heard. :)”
