Pics and a narrative.....”

“If your standing in the campground and looking towards the ranger's house, wouldn't the direction of view be towards the east.”

“Thanks for the info and pics. BTW are you going to make an appearance on this trip? A little "cold weather op" will do ya good.”

“I may show up Wed afternoon/night or come in early Thursday morning, what time will you be heading out that morning?”

“Call me if you are interested in riding together. I may go down either day also. I figure if we leave on Thursday, we should get an early start. If I go on Wed, I may bring my cabin tent we can crash in.”

“Karo, I will call you Mon or Tues. Sure hope the forecast changes. Not looking good right now on weather.com Rain Wed, rain/snow Thurs”

“Yes, the forecast does look bad, doesn't it? Keeping my eye on it as well.”

“The snow I don't mind, but a cold rain sucks big time! I just got over a serious cold and bronchitis. I will check back Mon or Tue. One thing about the weather, it always changes. Gotta go to Grandma's for Christmas. I only got on here to download some tunes to my new mp3 player!”

“NOAA as of 1800 Hrs Monday 26 December 2005:

Wednesday NT Rain 70% Lo 42
Thursday Day Rain 40% Hi 54
Thursday NT Prtly Cldy Lo 35

Rainin'....at the moment that's the call...”

“Looks like I'm out, conflicts came up.”

“I'm out too...sorry guys. I have some health issues aside from the weather.

Would have liked to have seen you all.”

“Do you still want to go hiking? I can wait till Friday/Saturday and could go to either Hobbs Cabin In Savage Gulf or we could change plans and hit Sipsey. What are your thoughts and if we change plans and go to Sipsey, is anyone else interested??? If not then I'm gonna try to go to Roan Mtn. and stay a night at Roan High and hike the Roan Highlands.”

“I was wanting to go on this hike since it is so close to me, but since bit is out; and the weather might not cooperate, and I got Mom in the hospital, I guess I am gonna cancel as well. Maybe next time fellas.”

“I am planning to hit Sipsey Thursday morning for a day or two...no specific trip plan yet but ya'll are welcome to join.

“I am out. I have a cold with the typical runny nose, headache and the cold shivers. It hit me last night. No way I want to hike in rain right now.”

“looks like this trip is fallin apart, huh? thats too bad! The weather is so warm now too!”

“Keep me informed. I will be able to go anytime on Thursday.”

“did anyone end up going on this trip. It is sunny and 62° here but t-storms on the way tonight and tomorrow”

“yeah, its a beautiful day Ewker, isnt it! You feeling better yet?”

“Hi Embear, are you in town? I feel yucky. Runny nose, scratchy throat and headache. I have stopped having the shivers to that is a positive. I hate being stuck in the house sick esp when I have off this week :(”

“oh, that sucks. I am here in Nashville for the holidays. I will be here for another week and 1/2. We should have a TT night somewhere (when you get better, of course).”

“Do either of you know how to reach Stove? His post above indicates that he may be the only one still going on this trip and he may not know that no one else will be there. I'm trying to reach him to see if he wants to go to Sipsey with us instead but have no phone #.”

“He's in.”

“Both Ewker and dayhiker have called to let me know not to come, LOL.
Thanks guys!”

“you are so popular!”

“em, not many TT'ers left in Nashville now. They all moved away :(”

“who's still here?”

“currahee, spewgirl and me in Nashville. walkindude in M'boro, Trekkngirl just north of Nashville, karo and Matt in Spring Hill There may be a few others just talking about the regulars.

“Ewkwer, I hope you get better, I had that stupid cold for a month then it got in my chest and bronchitis. It really sucks, I took all my meds up last week just before Christmas. Now my daughter has it. My son is home for the week, he is the only member of my family that hasn't got it yet. I am just now ready to go hiking while I have the week off. Get well soon and follow your doctor's advice.

Embear, you had better stay around long enough to meet up with me! All the time you lived here and we never met. Hope to see ya while you are in town.”
