“I will be there, but will have to hitch a ride from Pearisburg. ( I think )”

“Your fat azz won't be as far as Pearisburg :)”

“Will be there...hopin' to hike in. I'll be the one beelining it for bateauxdriver's gumbo. :D”

“Yo Bill, want me to bring oysters and shrimp again. Of course, they'll be coming from the Gulf, maybe Bateaux should bring them :).”

“Would I ever turn down oysters and shrimp?”

“Yep Smokygirl, I broke my leg in January skiing...sigh...just got new skis this year too! But I started walking again last week. Still hurts...but by May I should be backpacking.

Hyway, put me down for a bushel of oysters...I love those things.”

“i'll be up thursday or friday, probably driving up this year and will visit with relatives over in mechanicsville, va. not sure if one of the kids will come with me or not. i may talk surfergirl into coming, she would love dancing at the drum circle.”

“I cant make it this year...yall eat lots of oysters for me!”

“bummer embear, I was looking forward to seeing your rain glistening, fire lit face again.”

“WTF is Opie thinking?”

“Here's the new Trail Days website: http://www.traildays.info
and the site for Damascus: http://www.damascus.org See you at Trail Days!”

“wow, i just checked the photos page, http://www.traildays.info/photos.html , and they have some albums from Trail talk there. awesome. Pic of chili and miss opie (i believe) as a link to dubs pis and trip report and a pic of smokeygirl, gem and phantom soul as a link to the TT Chicks gone wild Trail talk trip report thread.

“freakin' sweet...i had no idea those were there

”

“That was a great rain. I mean it was a torrential downpour and it was warm. I was loving it.”

“Yeah, I got an email from him asking me if it was okay to post my picture [just in case I am wanted by the FBI]

I wonder why they didn't use dub's butt? Oh, I forgot....webshots make me remove it.

the creator of the page must be on TT. someone knows who he is?

IMO, he is. I made the mistake of going to his seminar at The Gathering in Hanover in October. There were a few times that GM and I looked at each other and said "He's kidding, right?" I'll be staying far away from His Trail Holiness at Trail Days. :p Actually, I'm surprised he's going since he openly bashed Trail Days and Hiker Feeds during his little speech in Hanover. Bah...”

“metayel, did you create that page? Good job. For some reason I thought it was dub who posted those links today.”

“lilmountaingirl, are you going do to a journal on trailjournals.com? if so do you have a link”

“she has one”

Yep...mine is www.trailjournals.com/kimberly and GreenMonkee's is www.trailjournals.com/antonio

Website is www.adventurematters.com but I've decided to keep my journal on TJ. :)”

lilmountaingirl

what did he say?”

“Ewker, if your interested, Wildbill started his thruhike this past weekend. He hasn't posted since he started though. I would have thought he'd be in Neels gap yesterday (it only took us 2 days and 2 hours to get there from springer during our section hike last year), but his hiking partner isn't as strong a hiker yet. anyhoo, here's his journal

“pssst hyway...he's in Neels Gap.”

“2 days 2 hrs is making pretty good time. thats about 30 miles. almost 40 with the approach trail thrown in”

“Chili and Mrs Opie?????


Did my little darlin have on Orange?


Bless her heart.”

“CB, counting the approach trail it was 3 days and 2 hours. we camped on Blood Mt and hiked down to neels the next morning”

“lmg and hyway, thanks for the links

I started reading some journals on TJ today at work. It sure does get you wishing you were out there. Oneday it will happen”

“Ya know, I am jealous of you all! I'd love to hit Trail Days some year, and meet a bunch of the Easties!
Anyhoo, if you guys are there, go visit the Leave A Trace booth! A couple of my cookbooks are being given as prizes (and autographed by wittle ol' me..)”

““metayel, did you create that page? Good job. For some reason I thought it was dub who posted those links today.” hyway

hyway, I do the websites as a volunteer for Trail Days (the official site) and the Town of Damascus. They are plain vanilla sites with no Flash or fancy stuff. This town of 900 doesn't have a budget for a real webmaster.

“Well, Mister Damascus webmaster, stop by the TT camp for a beer during Trail Days.

I'm buying.”

“oh...or a soda if you are underage, don't drink, or otherwise have an allergy to alcohol.”

“Chili, I'm overage, and I'll bring the chablis or Samuel Adams Boston Lager. I look forward to seeing the TT crew at Trail Days, and if the rains come again I'll provide a place for people to dry out.”
