Yo Indiana get off yo butts it's hiking season

“I am thinking about bringing my daughter up for this one. I am not sure about putting her on a 10 mile hike, even if it is easy. The only thing she would need to carry is her sleeping bag, and, as fate would have it, I have a pack for her.

One option is to camp Friday, then drive around and hike in the short way with her on Saturday morning.

I will give it some thought and the weather may dicatacte what we do. But, again, as fate would have it, I seem to have plenty of rain gear for her too.”

“crash, chin and i will arrive sometime early/late afternoon and randal will probably be there around then too...we'll shuttle what cars we can and cache water at pixley knob rd crossing which i think is about 7/8 miles from the start...for the people going on to deam we can probably just stash some water in our cars at jackson TH”

“i will stash some agua at the hyway 160 crossing, since it is on the way to the new chapel trailhead”

“better stash some water too while you're at it”

“youre a tit”

“come milk me baby”

“Crash,
The noise is all you and all night!!
See ya later.
Randall”

“wear earplugs, ya baby!”

“Its not jsut the snoring.....


Cb has noise errupting from all ends at night”

“plug yer nose, you baby!”

“hey randall, the title of the trip is "yo indiana..." i dont know that we should let you come

stompers ok. we like her”

“Crash!!!
Get a life or better yet, get a job!!
Now stop mucking up the posts and go hiking!!! lol
See ya later!!
Randall”

“i have to be at work in 4 hours. workin a 12-hour shift, you ponce!”

“Good lord, between you too, I may not sleep on this trip ; )”

“randalls just mad cuz hes from illinois”

“Well that would do it!”

“LMAO... dorks”

“Many Americans use the New Year as a time to plan a better life, making "resolutions." Likewise, the Jewish New Year is a time to begin introspection, looking back at the mistakes of the past year and planning the changes to make in the new year."

i dont have any mistakes to reflect on and i dont plan on making any changes to the way i am. can i still come?”

“No. Youre canadian now

“The weather must be a whole lot more stable in Indiana than it is in East TN if you can look at it now.”

“Hey all,
Does anyone have a map or section of a map that they could post? Or does anyone know where I can find some online map info?
See ya later.
Randall”

“Randall, here is a site that has a lot of good information about the trail. I've linked to the section that we are hiking.

“Unless something changes, I am going to Arkansas, capture the last of my goods there, swing by, pick up my daughter, and then come in for the hike.

Still not sure if I will subject her to the big hike, or drive around and come in the short way. But I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.”

“we might be having some visitors friday night...the wife and baby might come hang out with us for a while weather permiting...i doubt they'll spend the night though”

“Hey Hub,
Thanks fir the link, Thankks to Thirfty as well. Guess I am just too damm lazy to read everything as well as I should.
See ya later.
Randall”

“Wow!!

Anyway, so far it looks like the following for Friday night;
Randall
Chin and Mugsy
Stomper
Hubcap
Crash?? (not sure)
Thrifty (wife and baby, possible)
I think that’s it. If ya get a chance check out HC's link to the Satellite pic of the Campsite, if you pan to the right you can see a jetliner (in flight) that got in the photo.
See ya later.

“I am still a strong maybe. If I bring my daughter, I don't know if we will hike it or not.

Might be just short hike/car camper kind of people.”

“we also need to get a count of who is leaving at jackson and who is heading to deam so we can figure the shuttles out”

“Hey Randall! Thanks for keeping us on our toes.

What a great lineup! I'm looking forward to meeting every one!”

“randall and crash? i gotta make time for this trip!”

“Hey Dude!!!
You outta show up!!! it's gonna be great!!
The weather is looking really cool, (lol, that's a pun man)
See ya later”

“TH!!
I am bailing at the Jackson trailhead and heading home, I wish I could stay, but I can't.
See ya later.
Randall”

“who is "stomper"?”

“i think its stovestompers twin sister”

“has ruby bailed on this one yet?”

“j/k, darlin'

hope you make it”

“oo brett - I'm still trying to figure that out too.

crash - Stovie wishes I was his twin.”

“I'm still here and still plan on meeting everyone early Saturday. Looks like nice weather so far. I will be heading out from Jackson as well. My non TTers have all bailed. Looks like just Jennifer and I so if we need to shuttle any more cars we'll have to do it Saturday morning?”

“i hope those chances of rain go down or away all together...i'm really looking forward to using my tarp for the first time and i don't want a lot of rain ruining the experience

“Ruby's not coming. Is everyone else still in?”

“I am not going to make it this weekend. I will be on the Adena trip. I will be picking up some things Friday and don't need to leave them in the Jeep.”

“...and they start dropping

chili - i don't know where everybody lives but you might be able to store your stuff at someone's house...anybody wanna volunteer?

you're more than welcome to ditch it at my place but i live in Indy and that would be backtracking for you”

“Possibility I could swing through Clarksville and put it at my brothers. But that is bordering on a logistical nightmare.

If I can work something out that is not killer, I will be there. If not, I will see some of you at Adena.”

“indiana john, where and what time is everybody meeting satuday morning? looks like it could be a chilly one.”
