A Gem on the PA AT

“Hey Sarge! good choice. I'm a firm maybe on this. Pine Grove furnace is on of my Faves especially the Pole Steeple trail.””

“s-rge and i are hosting separate trips on the same weekend. that should put to rest any suspicion that we're the same person.

the jury's still out on whether or not s-rge is jimmy san”

“Gem on the AT? Oh you tease me!!!”

“Yeah, The Pole Steeple Trail. A blue blaze in the Pine Grove Furnace area also is the exact halfway point of the AT.

“s-rge and i are hosting separate trips on the same weekend. that should put to rest any suspicion that we're the same person.

good cover!

Crash - you outta come to PA.”

“Are you talking the group sites near the actual furnace? I have winter camped in those sites they're nice.”

“wow!!! s-rge is actually going to meet some TT'ers. About time you decided to”

“"you outta come to PA"

some day....

right now, its its time for my annual giving back to The Trail”

“does anybody else find it suspicious that when s-rge finally gets around to hosting a trip, its on april fools day?

seriously, i would consider going to this if i wasnt already doing a hiker feed in georgia”

“I think it's suspicious that jackstraw started two threads for Sarge's trip.... hmmm... what's wrong with this picture??

I mean, I can see why someone might start a thread on the main board for someone else's trip (right crash? lol) BUT to then also start a "private" thread for a trip that's not yours?

yeah... Are you going there, too? lol”

“another right wing conspiracy!”

It's about time you post something on trailtalk that doesn't have to do with being critical of me. You're completely obsessed.

lizs - I think that thread is private because it's the first one. It looks like he realized his mistake and made a duplicate thread minutes later. I'm assuming usually when somebody makes a trip they immediately start a thread for it, but I didn't do that. What are you saying, that jackstraw is me? I think people have met jackstraw already and I'm pretty sure they'd agree he wouldn't be me. You sound like nowslimmer, lizs. : )”

“When you start a thread from the trips page, you have the option of placing it on the main board or keeping on the trips page only.”

“Thanks backslacker. I was wondering how that worked.”

I've met JackStraw and he ain't no Sarge...........maybe a PFC.

Not to be confused with PFK/Poulet Frit Kentucky”

“I was just there last weekend. Hiked from just north of Caledonia and ended in Pine Grove at the furnace. Nice 2-nighter.

Had lots of excitement Saturday night to Sunday morning. Two hikers went missing and they sent out the search crews all night and then the state police helicopter and more crews Sunday morning. Got a wake-up call in the middle of the night by a search crew checking who was in the shelters/tents, and again at 7:30 by a ranger blasting his horn all along the trail in case the missing people camped off-trail.

The other 3 in their party shared our fire Saturday night and had been out for hours looking for them. We realized the next morning we saw the 2 missing people walk through camp and continue south the night before. They ended up getting found at a parking lot Sunday morning, oblivious to the fact that half the search crews in the county were out looking for them all night.

“Liz, I'm just a bonehead that forgot to put it on the main board.”

“Hey Liz,
Jackstraw is a real person. I've known him personally for a couple of years now.”

“Yeah, and I can vouch for Reddawgy, so the circle is complete!”

“GROUP HUG!!! ; )”

“Hey Sarge,
Is the map on the site that Jackstraw posted the trail you intend on taking (7.5 miles)?”

“No agenda Reddawgy. That's a good bet though. Decent trail to a nice view.”

“burp”
