yeah, I'm working...I'm working real hard. lol. I'm actually working in an easier job because of them being short staffed. I am going to be a "sitter" after 11 pm. So I get to sit in a semi dark room through the night and try to stay awake and watch a patient who doesn't want to stay in bed. Hey it all pays the same. Good thing I brought a book to read.

That would put you around Versails or so.

Thought if you lived close we could car pool but you will go the parkway.

I won't be able to get there until 9 or 10 pm. I have to work all day Friday. I'll have everything ready, pick up Kodie & pack and jump on the Parkway. I'll email you with a couple of questions.

At least you'll gain an hour coming here.

BTW, if any one needs to mapquest for directions, use Grand Rivers as the destination.

Hey guys, just a thought here but what if I could get down on Sunday? How late do you all think you will be on the trail?

I'm flexible. If some people want to stay over on Sunday night, I can ask off for Monday. I need some down time. I'm stressed out to the max.

Boy, did I pick the right weekend or what?
This weekend, they've predicted scattered thunderstorms with an 80% chance of rain today and 60% chance tomorrow. Locally heavy rainfall possible.

The forecast for next weekend however, SUNNY with highs in the low to mid 80's and lows in the upper 50's.

I'm glad its raining this weekend, we really need it. Haven't had a good soaker since spring.

Fifthmaster was going to make bratwurst but the meat was to gristly so we're going to Plan B. Don't know what it is yet but there will be something good!

I thought I might loose my arm once I got inside the firelight, and tried to sit down.

Nah, I won't be doing that tonight. They are changing the plan. We are all meeting and hiking Auxier ridge tonight, and tomorrow we go to find Indian Staircase! I'm so bummed that my camera is broke. I guess I'll try to make do with a disposable. :(

I'd say yes, but I really need some solo time.

I've talked myself into heading to Cranberry Wilderness in WV this weekend. It's way too easy to talk myself out of it. But that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid doing.

Have a great time, everyone! Eat and drink lots for me!

We could really work on her to change her mind. We're great at peer pressure, but I respect the need for some solitude.

lol... You're right, you guys are great at peer pressure, but I've had a rough few months. Time out alone is probably going to do me a lot of good. :)

aw, damnit! you would have to post this AFTER I come back from RRG. SHlT! Just another reason I shouldn't have gone...
I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

Next time I find myself sitting in the car in the driveway doing the scene from Ferris Bueler, I will just go to work instead...
