Memorial Day: May 29, 2006

Entertainment:

During World War II, the Dolly Sods was used for military exercises, and some live mortar shells remain buried in the soil. The Forest Service has currently contracted with a private firm to clear the trail corridors (500 feet on each side) of these hidden hazards. Work is expected to continue through November 1998. The shells are definitely out there - I know one individual who found one, and also happened upon one of the bomb disposal contractors who verified that there remain plenty to be removed. If you should happen upon an unexploded shell, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Nitroglycerin, a component in the gunpowder charge, settles over time and can become extremely volatile. Moving the shell may cause the mortar to explode. Mark the location, draw a map of how to find it, and contact the District Ranger in Petersburg as soon as possible. While discovery of shells is extremely rare, they are still being discovered on occasion by hunters and backcountry travelers.

“Dolly Parton Sods sound good to me. Like those mountians on Dolly”

“careful Ewker, they could go off...”

“mommy.....................”

“I have seen those things up close by looking down upon the mountains. Nice peaks BTW.”

“I'm in...should work for me, not sure if I'll be off on the Holiday though, but I'll have the weekend for sure.”

“The National Forest camp where we stayed last July would be a good place for a major hoe down.”

“.....or maybe a shindig


GEO!!!!”

“I will look at the map over the weekend and set the exact agenda. I will post a trip by Monday.”

“Hey Chili did you get my email? I sent it to the address in your profile.”

“I'm going if Dolly is going.”

“Not yet, TB, but I will go have a look.”

“Replied, TB.”

“The place we stayed in July, MarkO, was Jess Judy campground. Lots of wide open space for a big bunch of campers. Chili check out the WV Car Camping trip or ask your wife about it since she was there too.”

“My wife has been somewhat silent about that trip. I never got any details.




Now that I think about it, the kids didn't say much either.”

“A big fat hollar out to ya!! How goes it?”

“Good, amigo.

Haven't run into any hikers on the trail in a tuxedo lately though.

Look forward to having you back Stateside.”

“LOL, yeah me too on the coming back, I miss you bunch of skunks!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe

I'm just hoping we can make one last trip to Amsterdam before we leave tho! ;)”
