Old Rag Mountain Revisited - Mid April T rip

“I am trying to find someone to share the drive with me. If I do there is a good chance I will show up.

Embear, you sure you don't want to ride in a car for 9-10 hrs instead of flying for 1-2 hrs....lol”

“Hey Ewker, get Yam to come along....”

“No, I did that drive last October and dont really care to do it again. LOL!”

“Especially not since the flight's paid for...”

“Bison, no one was talking to you


Hey Ewker, get Yam to come along....”

“Are you and Yam on no-speak terms or something?”

“Are Bison & Embear like this in person?”

“like what?”

“Like what?”

“LMAO!!!!! I hadn't seen em's post.”

“BM, did that answer your question..lol”

“Good God. OK. If I go I'll need a bigger flask and maybe Bacardi 151.”

“Yam should go on this trip. She would dig Old Rag. I'm trying to get Pennsy to go as well.”

“BM - you better come on this one. It is about time you get your arse out on the trail. I will drink whatever you bring. :)”

“No, I did that drive last October and dont really care to do it again. LOL!”

but,but you will get to ride with me this time”

“But how would I tell Bison?”

“by saying I am riding with Ewker..thats plain and simple...of course he might get a little mad but no biggie =)”

“I'm fairly confident that she'll decide to take the plane...”

“I take bribes.”

“hello, hello is someone typing a message”

“Buttkickers in Shenendoah seem almost pointless to me. Buttkickers in general.

I think I'll need all the alcohol for myself.”

“I have to stop my drinking for a while due to the medicine I am on :(.

I have 2 bottles of wine, a fifth of pineapple rum, a pint of Vodka and George Dickel whiskey sitting on the shelf looking at me every night...sigh”

“well Em drank all mine last time she was there.”

“What kind of crazy medicine is that?

Hey Y2 - I seem to remember that I was the only one besides you that actually brought the booze! I even packed in the glass bottle!

“My alcohol is not free.”

“What happened to... "I'll never drink again...?"”

“and the first night em? ;o)

but yes, Gem and Bison let us carry the booze and then drank it all, I think that's how I remembered it. Gemini threatened me with violence unless I handed it over. Told me something about not letting her mentor know.

“Who likes Scotch? Single malt, of course.”

“Hey y2, I recall that I brought liquor on the 1st night too!!! Yes, you offered your wine to me and I dutifully drank, but you drank my vodka after that was gone. :)”

“So I'm safe with Scotch? I bet the brit Fish drinks Scotch, though....

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Brit....Fish....Scotch....

Now I want to go to Brickskellar for some alcohol and Fish & Chips”

“the drunken exploits of TT'ers will continue in a moment”

“Fish & Chips with a nice Imperial Stout.....................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm”

“ok Em, I take it alllll back :o) - it was the rest of them that exploited us.”

“did someone wisper my name???

okay...so I forgot the alcohol that day. I felt really bad, but I wasn't threatening you with violence.”

“Sounds like another great trip guys, mind if I join in on this one as well? Can't wait to hike the rim in PA next month.

Backpacking girlfriends? Those are *VERY RARE*!”

“they are not!”

“Scorch will be your bp gf for a price.”

“sike”

“By price you mean a platypus filled with beer and a warm campfire? Not to be confused with warm beer and a platypus roasting over the campfire. j/k Scorch!”

“i prefer firewater, thank you!”

“People really carry beer on trips?”

“some people even carry a cooler with a 12 pack and 8 lbs of ice in it”

“Are you packin' in the beer for this one Ewker?”

“if I do it will only be 1-2 plastic bottles for the first night”

“Ewker brings beer than I'm there!”

“I'd like to see some one pack a cooler full of beer on this trip. LMAO

This is a trip to stay as ultra light as possible.”

“Since I probably can't get my pack under 30-35lbs I should definitely bow out?”

“Oh wow, I looked at some of those pictures in your webshots album. I can't wait to go!!
So maneuvers like this:

“no way BM. You're pressence is required on this trip. you should be ok with 35lbs. I remember my pack was heavy last year and Bison even had to pull me up one of the scrambles with my trekking poles. I bet my pack was over 40lbs. I would just make it as light as possible.

I am going to shoot for 30lbs for this trip.”
