I am no longer a TT Trip virgin.

“Trip report to follow but I already set up a webshots account and uploaded some pictures. Lots of info can be found in the picture comments ;-)

http://community.webshots.com/user/DeoreDX

Yeah! I'm not a troll!”

“Congrats DX. Nice pics. Love the Cloudburst. How'd it do in the cold? a little Breezy? I have a Virga.”

“Hey, the picture of you and Stovestomper...which is which ;-)”

“So now you're just a plain old virgin?


J/k DDX, looking forward to the TR to go with the trip. Great pics and captions!”

“Looks like NC got the album to work...

So unmentioned shy person... you know who you are... must be a fault of your's not my webshot album ;-)”

“so who is who??????”

“No longer a TT virgin? Don't worry, you'll be able to sit down in about a week! ;-)”

“So you spent your entire trip taking photos of Stovestomper?”

“LMAO @ BackSlacker!!”

“You turkey! ;-)

You should have linked the thread from the trip page so the photos can be found in the future.”

“PIctures are always more interesting with people in them :)

How do I do that linky thinggy you're talking about.

Dang... you made good time SS!”

“Let's just say I didn't see any AL State Police and drove like someone that isn't worried about a ticket.

To link a thread, go to the Trip Page for that trip and start a thread from that trip page. Make sure you check the show in Trail Talk button.”

“cool.thanks for the photo tour. wish I could have been there.”

“Ok, so I only skimmed the thread, but from what I gather, Stovestomper popped Deore's cherry.


Is that close enough?”

“Si, it's Pancho and the Gay Vaquero in the Yellow Cap.

LOL!!

You guys are a dreamy team. ;-P

“I'll check out the pics in a bit. It was nice to finally meet DDX and to see SS again.

We made it to the truck by 12 or so. I never say Scully or Goose.

“Skully and Goose are "explained" in the photos.

Nice shots! I was starting to wonder if DH was on the trip, or just dropped his boy off. But then lo and behold, DH showed up in a photo. :-)

Glad you guys had great fun. Spectacular scenery. Didn't know Alabama had that.”

“nice pics......and why is SS smiling so much?”

“I know just the spot where SS was at the overlook.

The rock formation was an old chimney.

liz - that's my right arm in the 2nd picture of Reece.”

“I thought that pile of rocks looked like a tairn (sp) that was an old trail marker of sorts.”

“I didn't have a picture of DH so I had to add that one of him kneeling just so people could see he didn't just drop his kid off.”

“On the opposite side of the rocks you can tell where it recesses like a chimney. I got a pic of Reece standing there. I'll link it later today.”

“Oh wow! A TT virgin trip. The crying. The unanswered expectations. The blood. [shiver]”

“Nice pics, looks like a fun trip. We initiated some TT virgins on the Savage Gulf trip this weekend too!

Actually they're still out in the woods. Muahahhahahhaah!”

“DDX always has the best captions for his pictures. LOL!”

“You hike? Hehheh!!

Cute kid!! Tell dad awesoem to see someone else take their kids-now get that boy a pack ;-)”

“My offer still stands Sarbar... room and board for those Peanut butter cookies!”

“sarbar - the picture you saw was when I was repacking from the first sight. They took my son to the next camp while I packed. He used his school pack to carry his own sleeping bag and toys.”

“Awesome Dayhiker-how old is he? Cute boy!!

Deo....are any of your mts bigger than 2200 ft? ;-) See, I am spoiled......”

“NOW you're talking fantasy (cross thread connection).”

“6 next month.

Nope, 2200 or so is as big as it gets in Bama. I can't recall the elevation of Cheaha, but that's the tallest one. sarbar - are you trying to tell us it's all about size? DDX was afraid you'd draw that conclusion. He talked about it at the campfire.”

“Mt. Cheaha is 2407'.”

“I'm working on my pics now.
Shot about 90. Thinning them out.”

“Does Mt. Cheaha have alfalfa sprouts growing on it?

Way to go kid!
How far did the little trooper hike?

Yo Skully and Goose!!”

“It's all about size boys ;-) lol!!”

“oh crap....”

“Hey, and you have someone as well-established as StoveStomper to validify your existance...LOL...enjoyed you TR on Webshots...I use it like that also..too bad you didn't get up to any overlooks..eh eh eh...

Oh, and I MUST add, you look lovely in red, SS....

“The little fellow hiked in 2 miles and back out 2 miles. I had guessed we'd go about 1 mph and that's pretty much what we did. He enjoyed crawling under and over the blowdowns.”

“My little backpackers are all grown up, mostly.

Since they have gotten bigger my pack has gotten lighter.”

“I can imagine. Mine went from 25#'s to 50#'s in a snap. It'll go back down as he gets bigger and as I get gear for him. For example, I don't have a 20* kids bag so I put him in his kiddie bag and my 20* bag. That left me without a 20* bag so I took my 40* down quilt and a 50* bag I started with. I hauled in 3 bags and he carried 1.”

“So is Ewker satisfied that the myth has been dispelled? Ewk? Where are you?

I as well enjoyed the cheeky comments about overlooks.”

“glad you all had a good trip. I hope skullcap's toe feels better! Nice pics! The pics from the overlooks are nice.”

“http://community.webshots.com/album/544648602yaJdsq

My pics are up.”

“Good pics SS.”

“So are you going to write a trip report or am I going to have to do it? :D”

“You do it, then I will do the rebuttal. ;-)”

“Hey, this is a family website. None o' that "rebuttal" stuff.”

“Oh, and I MUST add, you look lovely in red, SS....
