Ghost of Masten 2007

“Yo jackstraw! Strangely enough, that blood pudding sounds pretty good! :-D

Make that the second scariest thing...first scariest would be a hospital maternity ward. However I'm not due until February, so you people won't have to worry about any maternity tent, LOL!

I'll leave the kilt to jackstaw.”

“Hmmmm, February 29th??

How's the little kicker doin'?”

“Thats right GF. I can work a kilt! Just ask Spindlette. Not that shes kilt biased or anything.



What up MarkO! kinda bummed about Bobo.”

“February whenever it feels like coming out! Well right now it looks like there's a pan of popcorn popping directly under my skin.

That's right, and when you add the pink water bottle, you are REALLY working it!
:-D”

“Shake a tail feather!!

I'm thinkin' of sendin' Bobo a lump of coal..........or worse!”

“Hey all!!
Just was thinking about this trip and how I won't get to go, anyway.
I thought I would post my all time favorite pic of ENS since he is setting this up, kinda!!
This should be the title
“Being The Leader Sucks!!”

“Haha, someone is looking very seriously in that pic!”

“Sorry you cant make it Randal. Just have a snort of scotch (or Bourbon) at 8:30 sharp Saturday and I will to to toast a great year in backpacking.


Draculyra- add the pink water bottle

I am very comfortable with my Nalgenes feminine side. : p”

“I swear that every new piece of bp clothing, gloves, hat or whatever I buy should be pink, or yellow or white - anythign but BLACK. I spend forever looking for black gloves, black hat, black shirt in a dark tent! Can't see anything.

Pink is good.”

““Yeah! I get paid to deal with partially clothed women bleeding and screaming”

Hell, I do that for fun!”

“You're just gettin' to be a geezer, Roamie.

That's a great picture of ENS.”

“One of my faves also. If I remember right he did have his beer.”

“Dat's why he looked serious, no doubt.”

“Ugh... Life always gets in the way. I have to downgrade my yes to a very tentative maybe. In all likelihood I will be providing taxi service to my wife and daughter as they need to work that weekend. Gas prices are obscene and we only have one car. So it looks like I am home for that weekend. Have a good time.”

“Where do ya live, Boss?”

“One of my faves also. If I remember right he did have his beer.”

Beer? There was beer on the BFT trip?

nooooooo, say it aint so!”

“Shucks, I missed a good one.”

“Beer? There was beer on the BFT trip?

I am like totally laughing inside myself.”

“I cant wait for this trip. I need to chill and get away from work, phones, and customers.”

“the BFT trip was probably my favorite TT trip all year. For some reason, I had the most fun on that trip. It must have been Randall's story telling and crash's shaggy neck hairs.”

“annnnd you didn't get sunburned lieing in the snow!”

““Thats right GF. I can work a kilt! Just ask Spindlette. Not that shes kilt biased or anything.~ jackstraw

Oh my oh my yes. He can totally wear a kilt.

Late Oct is a little sketchy for kilt wearing huh? *pouts*”

“We did it in KY last year... :*(”

“For you ladies I'd risk it. How was your trip MsDoolittle?”

“Very nice, thanks! Wishing I had continued SOBO. Not ready to be finished backpacking. Pictures and TR forthcoming. :)”

“that is true... that rock mountain burn was a b*tch... but I sure did love the Rockies.

I went to a lot of cool places in 2007 and I have some cool places left to go... but in 2008, I am off to fatherland... best place yet.”

“Awesome. You can tell me all about it in a week.

I am off to fatherland... best place yet.”

Thats right Pops. Just think of all the awesome trips you can plan.”

“fatherland, is that where I am. one day I'm a backpackin' madman, the next I'm changing poopy diapers. I love it though, and my time will come again.”

“Diaper Man, Diaper Man, does what ever a diaper can................”

“Looks like they are calling for rain in the Williamsport area for tuesday and thursday. Hope they get ample rain so we can have a fire.”

“HOohoohahahahahahahahahaha!!

The weather is lookin' OK............some showers and temperatures in the sixties.

Hopefully enough wetness to allow a fire.”

“I am going to have to bale on this trip. Too hard to make the logistics work with gas pushing $3 a gallon again.”

“Rev, where do you live? Jackstraw has a new car top carrier he's excited about that I'm sure you could fit in!”

“I live about half hour south of Williamsport. If I could get a ride I might be able to do it...”

“You got mail”

“Sorry Marko old buddy. I was on this side of the barricade with one of my ardent supporters.

”

“Ha ha !!

I was Googlin' "Jackstraw" and that's all I could find.”

“Ok. Have beer now.

mmmm Weyerbacher.

If you buy enough at that place off 25th St. in Easton the owner-man gives you free bottles of Bacardi wine-cooler thingies, even if you slightly offend him by calling them "sissy drinks".

I made a friend today. :)”

“hey guys sorry to say it but looks like im not gonna be able to make it either”

“they are sissy drinks! (the Bacardi wine cooloer thingies that is). However, free booze is, well, hell, it's free booze!”

“so speaking of weyerbacher... anyone no if that Pennsy guy is coming?”

“by the way, I have a case of Premium Reading Beer, Pennsylvania Lager that I plan on Bringing up.”

“People dropping like flies here. It's a party, darnit.

Agreed on the free booze. But you'd think after buying the Big Beers Weyerbacher case the barely-booze-ish fruit juice drinks would seem silly.

Mojito bacardi-thingies are a brunch beverage if they're chasing Goldschlager shots. ;)”

“Pennsy is probably up a rock. With Greenmonkee, who is also MIA.”

“"Mojito bacardi-thingies are a brunch beverage if they're chasing Goldschlager shots. ;)" ~ spindlette

Did you think that maybe he was just trying to get them out of his store? He's probably thinking they make his other beer look bad. ;)”

“"With Greenmonkee, who is also MIA."

I think GM has changed his permament address to a campsite somewhere in the Gunks. Last I heard anyway....”

““Pennsy is probably up a rock. With Greenmonkee, who is also MIA.”
spindlette


Rumor has it that they both might be there. Did someone say Blithering Pennsy?

Besides, I heard that there is some good boudering along Rock Run.”
