Charles Deam Skinny-dipping Party

“all female attendees are requested to "accidentally" leave their bathing suits behind so that they have no other choice but to frolic in the water au naturale”

“for you silly prudes, bathing suits will be allowed, but only after the sun goes down when you might have reasonable need for slight clothing and we cant see you anyway

;-)”

“freakin a...I have to work that weekend :(”

“yea yea always an excuse”

“I work every other weekend :( that weekend I work...why cant you freakin pick a weekend I can go?”

“Thanks for the invite man, but I got the Sods trip this weekend. Been planning it for a year and I'm the organizer, it'd be bad if I bailed like last years organizer. ;-)

Maybe next time? Thanks!”

“Oh boy.....

I signed up for skinny dipping????????


(grins)”

“Would if I could, CB. But, I'm headed out of town for a wedding. Thanks!”

“nobody needs to se my butt anyway :)”

“CB, check out the Chicago area backpacking thread. there is a newby looking for places to go. he/she might like an invite. I have offered to drive.”

“Looks like a great place. They have some interesting rules, which can be found by clicking on the image.

“what so interesting about the rules?”

“I found these interesting. How can one pack the beer?

• Camping within 100 feet of ponds, lakes, trails, or streams is allowed only on designated sites.

• The only food or beverage containers permitted within the Wilderness are those intended for reuse or burnable packaging. ... Cans and glass bottles are not allowed. ...

• Group size is limited to 10 persons or less.

”

“I might actually be able to make this!!
I won't be able to get down there till Sat. morning but hey thats better than not at all!”

“in case we hike in friday night, do you know how to get to the peninsula trail?”

“I'm all booked up til September and I just did that hike two weeks ago. I was kind of disappointed in the trail. Thanks for the invite though. Sooner or later we'll all hook up.”

“Oh one more thing, I'd spray down your clothes with the permethian(SP?) spray and do whatever eles you can for ticks. They were thick on the shoreline camps.”

“Thanks for the heads up, Nigal. I will treat the clothes this week.”

“CB, yeah I'll find you guys if you decide to hike in on Fri nite...If I can even make...I won't know for sure till Wed. night.

Nige- I think you just don't wanna hike with us :p~~ lol!”

“Dang...my bad. I forgot about a big squeal-like-a-pig roast that I have already committed to going to. I am out.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“oh for gods sake. im going to start callin you dub”

“(hanging my head in shame)

I won't argue with you on that. I deserve it.

;)”

“unless you can do the weekend of july 16th, looks like youll have to wait until at least september now to meet the crash! bang! thang! in person, as i will be on the jmt in august

“Sounds like a cool idea; too bad it's way out in Indiana :(

Looks like I'm headed out to the sods, as West Virginia's just a little bit closer to home...”

“well, sod you”

“on the 16th I think I will be on the WV car camping trip. Are ya going on that one? Maybe woundedknee and I can pick you up. I think we have to drive right down 65 to get there.”

“Damn, I would just love to attend this trip. I've never met you guys, so this would be a great first impression.... for all of us. hehehehe

Unfortunately I've got a track day, so I'll be spending Saturday draggin' my need off the side of a sportbike at 85mph.

Have fun and take lots of pics!!”

“since the only female attendee has backed out, this will no longer be a skinny-dipping party”

“DAMN! I was going to come too so I could walk around naked everywhere!

Oh well.

Sorry Scott, June is a really bad month for me with work. That is why I am so (firefly) looking forward (firefly) to the WV trip (firefly) in July”

“LMAO!!!!

ANd I was going to accidentally forget my suit, too.


Scott, are you going to WV with us?”

“too far for just a weekend trip”

“Sorry Crash Bang, you know how much I want to see your fanny.

Truth is I’m taking a motorcycle class that weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The last half of July I should be working mostly weeks, which will allow me to take more weekend trips.”

“ive seen your fanny alreay crash :) You'll just have to wait a while longer before seeing mine lol”

““since the only female attendee has backed out, this will no longer be a skinny-dipping party”
Crash Bang
This is a good thing, cause I'm NOT going skinny dippin with ya!!!
I'll be all to happy to moon ya, but I ain't gettin nekkid in the water with ya!! lol”

“im trying to figure out when sc has seen my fanny”

“i need everyone who is planning on going this weekend to call me at 765-453-7893 after 4 or anytime on my cell at 765-271-4857 or email me to let me know when they can come down. i will go down friday night and camp at the junction of the grubb ridge trail and the peninsula trail if that site is free.”

“http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/hoosier/images/maps/trail_maps/deam_wilderness_backpage.pdf

for a decent map. i will be at the junction of peninsula trail and grubb ridge loop friday night. if that is taken there is another campsite a few minutes west on the grubb ridge trail and i will be there”

“can I call you even if im not going? :) I would like to discuse what kind of sleeping bag you would recomend for a 2,600+ mile hike - synthetic or down, temp rating when paired with a bivy...etc, etc.
