FYAO V TR

“I know what you mean ENS, after a particularly enjoyable trip, you're "still there" for a day or two afterwards. Cool feeling ain't it?”

“shatty feeling being back at work though”

“You said it.”

“I forgot, it did snow Saturday night for a little bit and there was a tad of white out conditions when you looked out onto Oxshoe Pond.”

“Wow, what a party!!!

Just night have to do one of these FYAO thingies.....

Only 5 below, eh????”

“I'll meet you at Campmor sometime tomorrow during your shift. Pennsy will probably make the drive up and meet us there as well. I don't think you've met my friend Kate, she'll also be there. Just try not to stare. ;-)”

“Sounds like yous had a good time. Y'all were mentioned at our 60-degree, but rainy campsite at Red River Gorge.

The opportunity to post Kentucky as a state hiked doesn't come around too often for me, but I'm up in New York all the time. Perhaps I'll finally get around to FYAO next year. But until then, I'll be eagerly awaiting...”

“I gotto get out to the daks”

“little side note -

Sleds and Bushwacking don't mix.. well.

After all but everyone had left except for the remaining stragglers, LT, MarkO, O'Henry and myself we saw some dayhikers who suggested that we take a short cut across Oxshoe Pond, then bushwack down to Crane Pond and cross it to the boat ramp. They said it was "doable" with the sleds. We followed their tracks and hit some snags and down trees. I snagged Pennsy's sled on a tree and snap! one of the pipes broke. That sucked. Otherwise it was a pretty cool short cut. Sacco and Percious took the trail back and beat by almost an hour. It cut three quarters of a mile off though.

Another side note -

Vanilla Schnopps is awesome.”

“Nice trip reports and pictures. 30 below in Maine, that's really cold.”

“Oh shucks, I forgot to sign out when we were hiking out!!!”

“Oh shucks, I forgot to sign out when we were hiking out!!!”

“Huh, whutchyer dogs got to do with this?”

“sheet marko, yous all be my beyotchs”

“Hey, hey...............light weight! >8^P”

“Vanilla Schnopps is awesome

“Hey I was able to get snowloon up and working again.”

“Ectuelly ...










Vanilla schnapps and coffee make an excellent breakfast (I think I'll get into a programme).”

“A programme for drunks?”

I love you guys. :)”

“WOW, great pictures and cool trip reports. I wish I was there, very pretty. Thanks for sharing.”

“Yes, the vanilla schnapps was fantastic. I'm buying some for my next trip.

I miss this trip already. I wanna go back.

Anyone ever find out if the snowstorm ever hit on Sunday night. And, if so, how much snow fell at Schroon Lake?”

“I only got about 4" at my house, I'm not sure how much fell to the north of me.”

“If it did snow a bunch we may well have been screwn......had we stayed.”

“I posted my trip report on the FYAO page. Pictures will be up by tonight. Peace out, peeps.”

“america's privatilized health system??? [pic10]

man, i must have been drunk'r then i thought!”

“LOL!”

“Nice pics, Jamie! The caption on the last one cracked me up, BTW!!!”

“[pic 11] When did BB through Ice Tea on the fire? Damn, I missed it.”

“You were resting, Zac.”

“Where were u guys?

I was bord out of my mind last night....

no worries”

“Damn, Ice... my bad. I forgot to let you know that I was leaving back to Maine a day early and I went to Campmor earlier. Sorry about that. :-(”

“I didn't get to go over and check out your tent Artex, but that is a sweet tent man!”

“Outstanding pics!”

“Thanks EarthNSky! Yeah, it's a sweet tent. I'm happy with it so far.

I'll get in touch with you soon about Baxter. But you should try to swing a visit up and knock out some of the Whites with me before then.”

“yeah, I'd really like to get up that aways sometime soon and hike in the Whites while there is still snow.

Another good climb to try this year is Mt. Mansfield in Vermont. That's a good buttkicker of a climb. Ascend via the Long trail.”
