hey Crazypace

“If we do the lehigh gap, I could drop a car the night before, then we dont have to shuttle in the AM. It would be faster. I could just meet you at bake oven at whatever time we set.”

“cool, sounds like a plan”

“the forecast for this weekend is el sucko. Rain Rain Rain. I don't mind hiking in the rain though.”

“I'm there !! rain or shine. As hot as it is, would feel good to hike in the rain.
Ps: you got mail.
Pss: Chase the wonder dog will be accompanying us on this endevor.
Wonder if LMG wants to go ?”

“LMG is going to the Whites - no fair”

“Correction: I'm getting PAID to go BPg in the Whites. bwahahahahahahaha :P”

“I'll give you a dollar if you go with us.”

“lol

Does that come with a shot of Scrapple Schnapps, Lebanon Bologne Schnapps or Shoofly Schnapps?”

“mmmm scrapple. how come you're getting paid to go BPing??”

“Freaken Whites. You'll be missing us and our witty humor. Ohhhhh, yes, you will.”

“lyra ~ I'm doing an Adventure Camp with another leader and 8 kids through the Presidential Range. It'll be an adventure, alright. ;)

CrazyPace ~ I'll need to pick up the pieces of my shattered life and move on. :p Oh...and I'm bringing back good beer from VT & ME for the BBQ Drunkfest...helloooooo Long Trail Ale & SeaDog! :D”

“oh sweet!”

“if it rains tomorrow, my streak of seeing rattlesnakes on Pennsylvania trails may come to an end. I'm tired of seeing rattlesnakes though.

Maybe we'll see a cobra. The rare Pennsylvania Cobra. It spits apple cidar.”

“If it rains, maybe you'll wake up with one in your sleeping bag trying to snuggle with you to warm up.”

“We shall capture the cobra and become famous. We'll use potato salad as bait.

“lmao, I just read my handbook and it reads that the best way to catch the PA Cobra is to bait it with potato salad and should the capture be struck, cucumber salad is the anti-venom again the venomous apple cidar.”

“You didn't go to the gainbang did you?

RAIN SUCKS!”

“Greetings from the deck (gotta love the laptop and wireless) at my dad's in Upstate NY.

The weather here is actually quite nice (and so is the pool), though the skeeters are starting to come out. Gotta go hit up a kegger over at a buddy's house now...”

“lol I found your map Saturday night.”

“lol - I'll give you the new one back.”

“Just noticed phantoms post. A pool, a kegger, now thats how to spend a weekend!”

“Hey CP What model Clark hammock is it? I'm checking them out on line.”

“Clark jungle hammock. You gonna love hanging from a tree !!”

“Sounds cool.

I understand you bought the Aveo.”

“Indeed, as my back and forth to work vehicle. I still have the x-tera for my weekend outtings.”

“what weekend would you like to hit the lower half of the AFT? I like your idea of doing it as a Friday nighter. I imagine we have around 16-17 miles left.

Jackstraw, you interested in finishing the trail with us? BTW, I got your email, that site is pretty cool.”

“weekend of the 6th or 27th. I am game.
BTW - my wife is mad at you, I bought the atmos 50 (in grey), so I blamed you. Sorry dude, I needed a fall guy.”

“lol, that is ok. I'll take the fall. I bet you are itching to use it. The 6th sounds good to me.

Is the weekend of the 27th open for you? PhantomSoul planned a hike in the Catskills on the Wittenburg /Cornell / Slide Loop, which is the best hike in the Catskills IMO.”

“The 6th would be perfect for the AFT. I screwed up my dates again - her company picnic is on the 27th, so I cant do anything that weekend, its the 20th I have open.
As far as phantoms trip - you should know by now, everytime I can go on a trip - he cant, and everytime he can go - I cant. We have still never hiked together !! Just camp, drink and eat. Funnier yet, I'll see him tomorrow at the drunkfest tooooooooo (wait for iiiit) = "camp, drink, and eat !!"”

“You've got mail”

“As do you my friend !”

“I ordered my gear, and it will be here Friday except for the hammock. I'm trying to get ENS out on a brief overnight just to get acclimated”

“Things are looking up for the sixth, but not Guaranteed. I Must be back for a commitment on Sunday Morning.”

“Which Henry Shire tarptent do you have? Meaning the one you let ENS take on the Loyalsock and to the Daks.”

“would you want to do that stretch yet? I know you were talking about finishing with that stretch. We could also do something from Duncannon south. I was thinking about doing a 10-12 mile hike to get Ox warmed up.””

“LMG - the viagra, no I mean virga !!

ENS - Yea, make it easy on Ox. Easy overnight. Duncanon south would be great. I really would like to do the "finish PA" thing at pine grove.”

“cool, Duncannon it is.”

“I'm there. Let me know what I need to do”

“Viagra? Is it blue and free-standing? And do I have to call a doctor if it stays up for more than 4 hours?”

“Just put the pole in the right hole. ;-0”

“LOL@CP”

“I put some potential itineraries (I can never spell that word) on the PA AT overnighter thread. Check em out. What do you guys think?

Ox, will Kate want to go? I am sure we can outfit her.”

“Just put the pole in the right hole. ;-0”

D'oh! :-O!”

“She might, I'm not sure. Most likely she'll stay home and go out with her friends. I know she's not ready for something like this.”

“Should you still be here LMG?”

“She cant stay away. She Luuuuuuuuuvs us.”

“

is this like the spider we saw on the AFT. The pic is of a brown recluse.”

“

according to this map, they are not generally found in PA. But I have heard they are found in PA. That was definitely a big brown scarey looking spider though.”

“Sure looks like em. I think your buddy had a somewhat hairy body though. Mabey you should of captured him and taken back to lab for a posative ID?”

“I'll tell you what that spider looks like to me ...

Run Frodo, run!
