Eugene needs a ride

“Eugene had a great time on the High Sierra Trip, but now he is thumbing for a ride. He is currently in Sacramento and would love to go on the next sierra trip in 2 weeks. He doesn't need food, water or TP. If you think you can offer this friendly gnome a ride, contact me.”

“who is eugene?

how come no TP,”

“Eugene:




The reason Eugene needs no TP is left as an exercise for the student.”

“he doesn't need a TP because he obviously carries his own tent.”

“LOL I forgot about him
well when he gets near NY I will help the little guy out.

but he is sleeping outside,”

“Mapes, in a drunken stupor, might take advantage of him if he's inside.”

“Well, you know what they say:

"Once you go gnome, you never go home."”

“boooo hisss..that was bad”

“LOL! Treebeard must worry a lot.”

“Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, folks...”

“I wonder if Eugene is from Oregon ...”

“Ba-dump-bump!”

“tell that damn hippy to get a job and buy his own gosh darn vehicle. :P”

“OMG Bit!!!!!

I nearly spit out my tea all over my computer.


How do they put it? ROTFLMFAO!!!!!”

“Damn, this close to putting another notch on my keyboard...”

“I'm in Sacramento, I'll go pick him up (wherever he is!) & take him with me to Lake Tahoe. Still working on details, but looks like I will come up Eagle Falls trail & across Desolation Valley & out at the Echo trailhead.

Does he like ferry-boat rides? If so, we'll take the ferry across Echo, if not, we can hike it.

Incidentially, after that trip I am staying in Reno for a few days for biz... I can drop him off in one of the casino's & give him your credit card & he can experience Nevada gambling!! (and you too, vicariously!)”

“Matt - I am going on the Sierra Rendezvous and I was going to take a battery operated dancing cactus (not be confused with a BOB) that hangs around our office but someone else took him to Wisconsin so I would consider taking Eugene. Where is he in Sacto, and how much does he weigh?

“Do it, Pepper. We were supposed to get him after the HST, but forgot with all the shuttle/hurry to the airport stuff. We'll all take turns carrying him. Dang Gnome can't walk alone!”

“If he can't walk alone, what's he doing out there? What was he thinking.

Be careful. No telling if he's a terrorist.”

“I think he's unrealiable.. I should just take him to the Casino's with me & let the consequences roll (hahahaha, get it.... let te consequences roll, as in let the dice roll.... hahahaha)

Anyway I'll be hiking west of Reno past Lake Tahoe, he can come w me or gamble, its' his masters' call!”

“Yeah, pepper. Pick him up and like wannabp wrote, we'll all share in carrying him. He's kinda heavy for such a little guy!

Hi Matt! Sorry I missed you on this trip! Glad you had a great time.”

“Pepper - Dancing cactus? Does Geoguy know about this?

“I tried to carry him to the Wind River Range last August and the little guy crapped out on me...arrived at my doorstep via mail and his face was all broken..I was SO bummed..Matt fixed him though..He weighs a "freakin" pound ya'll...lol I'll help also if you get him to the Sierras'. For you Mr.Matt”

“ladyhiker...we are taliking about Eugene here...HELLO...Ha!
Can't wait to see you girl.”

“Yeah....get him Pepperdog.....He can ride in the back with Puddlejumper and myself!!!!!”

“Hey - does Eugene have his own web site yet ?

It'll be good to see the little guy again. I don't don't mind carrying him for a bit, but he'll have to bring his own cigarettes this time. I quit a month ago.

I wonder if he'd be up for a trip in the Canadian Rockies”

“Someone bring him to Jersey and I'll show him around -- we can do the Pennsy Loop or Ringwood -- or in the summer we can go down the shore and do Cheesequake or the Batona...”

“Songbyrd should get him, maybe. I think she's the closest to Geologyguy. She's probably ignoring this thread because she doesn't know him yet.”

“Ok Ok Ok!!! So I'll get him. I always thought he was kind of cute anyway. So email me on where to pick him up or ??? Unless Pepperdog gets him first. She has first dibs. He's so cute and single and all. LOL What the he77? I have Barbie for him to meet! He He”

“i fell in love at first sight of Eugene...and to think he might be present at sierra rendevous...i would love to carry him ...i would even share my tent with him ~~~ though, i see all the women would be fighting over the little man,... i promise not to break his face =}”

“You ladies need to take turns with Eugene.

Wait, that doesn't sound right. LOL”

“It might be easier for songbyrd to pick him up - if matt would just tell someone which bridge he is camping under one of us can take him. I guess we can all fight over the honor of carrying and sleeping with him....

Sorry, Wanderer. It sounds like a Mt Whitney will win out over Lake Tahoe. Maybe you chould clear out your schedule and come with us?? Then you could carry Eugene too.”

“I will be picking him up before the trip. No worry.”

“Glad that's settled. Perhaps Eugene can help us with the shuttle!”

“SS - matt did say he needed a ride. That sounds like a blantant search for a date for little Eugene to me.”

“Is this the same gnome from years ago? I seem to remember that he was here but then disappeared for a while. Wasn't there a pink flamingo that was kidnapped from mel's house too?

Too funny. :)”

“OK so my P/U holds six and one/tenth. I hope he know directions to Reno airport.”

“Eugene escaped when I was parked at the drive-thru at a local Stop and Sip. Sorry, Matt.”

“LOL!”

“He's camped out in my bedroom and will take the ride up w/ me on Friday. Cute little guy he is.:-P”

“If Eugene ever makes it back east, let me know and I will take him on a trip :-)”
