What Happened to The Indiana Crowd???

“You do have quite a few floating on the net...”

“I can't help being an exibitionist.....

LOL!”

“Well, I'm going to Shades Monday. If anyone wants to join me shoot me an e-mail at meangreen3800@yahoo.com and I'll look for you.”

“Wish I could. :(”

“Sorry, meangreen, I have to work Monday. I'll try to follow the Indiana threads more closely next time so I can get some advance notice...”

“no sweat. This was kind of spur of the moment.”

“Hey thrifty, I was at Holiday World on Sunday! Wish I'd seen this early we could have met up. I think I wore out the little one :)”

“Anybody up for a hike the first weekend of June in Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio? I'm up for about anything but thought I'd put out some "feelers" before I commit.”

“I thought I felt something. FOR SHAME!”

“Thrifty! Check out Stompers Early Summer Blast trip. I'm a definate and with 3.19/gal gas I would be happy to take any carpoolers I could fit.

Pssst. BTW stop feeling up SC dude. I heard her old man is crazy... ;)”

“wha? huh? someones feeling me up? I thought that was my coworker.”

“Funny you should ask about an Indiana hike. I was going to see if anyone wanted to do Two Lakes loop sometime soon. Anyone interested?
I can't do the Early Summer Blast trip :(”

“Im interested!!!

but it has to be on a weekend I have off of work.”

“I heard Matt banned them all for non-performance! They were all talk and no action.”

“negro, please. considering how little scenery we got, we go quite a bit. indy tt'ers are some of the tt trip attendingest b!tches on the planet”

“negro?”

“CB you know white guys can't talk like that!”

“as a black man, i for one am offended!”

“shut up you nappy headed ho's”

“SC - but it has to be on a weekend I have off of work
e-mail me your schedule of the weekends you have free.”

“i can't do sompers trip, it's my son's first birthday

i'm leaning towards doing the adventure trail over three days but if people have troubles getting friday off i may just do two lakes loop”

“Anyone have some info on Two Lakes Loop? I'm still looking at that trail.”

“I have backpacked the twin lakes loop. It was an excellent trip. Although there are a few thing to consider. First and fore most are tick nymphs. Tiny, evil, voracious blood suckers that travel in swarms. All of us who went had to go to the doctor with what has now been labeled: The Gungadina. It results from the stupid idea of thinking that you can remove the little guys with tweasers in turn smashing there tiny little bodies releasing an especially nasty enzyme into you skin which most likely will result in an allergic reaction. At least it did with all of us. The swarms hang out in in the grasslands where the dams are. We call this these areas Gungadina alley. Secondly, there are some mighty big spiders there in the late summer / early fall. If you don't believe me just take your head lamp and shine it parallel to the ground at night. And count the blue sparkles. And tyhink to your self wow these are the ones I can see there must be even bigger on that I can't see. Aside from the varies of arachnids and other insects the only other difficulty is a few 250 foot climbs which really aren't that bad. Also I have been told there are some kinda of Indian markings on a rock cliff or outcrop on the eastern side of the loop. We did a lot of night hiking on the side so we may have missed them. I liked the trip alot and would go again any time... p.s. If your laying in your tent/hammock trying to fall asleep and your wondering why your ankles are itching for no apparent reason you got the Gungadina...”

“Welcome LOP. There are a number of us in the Indy area. Infact we hiked the Two Lakes Loop in February. I missed the trip but many others did it. Are you planning another trip there or were you just posting your trip report?
We get a little rough around here, but we have lots of fun and hike pretty frequently. Check out the trips page. And again, WELCOME!”

“i hiked the TLL with my brother in law one time and there were millions of daddy long legs...my brother in law said he crawled out of his tent one morning and one of them shouted "show us your legs!"”

“you can fill the void crash left when he deserted us for S. Korea...you've got a lot of catching up to do though, about 2100 miles or so”

“Ya, and countless weekenders...”

“Bunch a dorks!”

“Hey Get your azz down here this Saturday and hike with us, ya bigger dork!”

“Sorry, can't...digging a hole”

“Digging a hole? Do we even want to know?
Welcome LOP. Hope you join us for some hiking. It's a crazy bunch, but harmless, most of the time. lol”

“Have you tried any bug sprays before and during your hikes?”

“You can dig that friggin hole Sunday afternoon! Don't worry the dirt will still be there. Just get as far as Idny on Saturday night and you can ride down with me, or come down earlier and get more hiking in.”

“You can dig that friggin hole Sunday afternoon! [i]
Yeah, you can do that on Sunday. Saturday and Sunday morning are for hiking!!!”

“whats a "indy anna"?”

“WK....good time to dig a hole LOL the farmers alamanac says so...

Today is best for:
Bake, Cut Firewood, Mow to Increase Growth, Dig Holes, Hunting”

“You ain't helping SC. Tell him to dig that phukin hole tomorrow night after he gets back from a good hike. I'm doing almost the whole trail tomorrow. It'll be fun!”

“sorry mean, i figure if I have to work...:P So does WK!”

“Hey I'm at work too, but I'm hikin tonight!
Gonna do about a mile tonight and 9 tomorow in 3 hours or less.”

“Ive looked at the problem of personel flight for years it seems like it should be a simple matter to be able to fly with the tools of your own body but for years Ive had no success.

I finally figgered out what I was doing wrong SUPERMAN didnt fly with his arms out and flapping or like wings on a jet . He held them close to his side!
That was my first clue!
Then the other night on my neighbors TV there was this guy who bent spoons with his mind VIOLA! EUREKA! WOWSERS! There was the key, the power of the mind! If he can bend a spoon he is moving molocules.
So the process should be simple simply move the molocules directly above my body and the resulting vacum should lift me easily into the air.
Now I havent been able to actually get off the ground yet but with a lot of concentration I definitly feel lighter on my feet. Ive tried it in a forward direction while jogging and Im pretty sure It makes it easyer to run . And as a sorta kickstart to this process I tried it while jumping off a building ,I think the excitement affected my concentration,but I definitly felt lighter just before I hit the ground..

Well I gotta go now they the ER doc just called my name.”

“What's wrong with you?

I mean, realy.




LMAO!”

“Oh you can't tell me that YOU'VE never considered it...”

“The only thing I'm considering right now is weather or not I should come back to work after lunch or just head straight for Yellow Wood State Forest.

On that note... I'm gonna go out to the car and play with my gear. I may or may not return.”

“I chickened out and came back. 5 hours to go...”

“You just wanted an excuse to play with your gear.”

“I can't help it. I'm always playing with my gear. If they would let me bring it in to the office I would play with it while I worked, but they won't so I habve to go to the parking lot to play with it. Not very fair really...”

“In The Hitchhiker's Guide, Douglas Adams said the trick was to throw yourself at the ground.... and miss.”

“I wounder if WK got his hole dug yet? its raining and supposed to rain a lot heavier later.”

“See?!
The sun is shining down here and I just bought a fifth of Makers Mark. Looks like I'll have to kill yet another bottle all by myself... *sigh* you guys are really making this hard on me you know?”
