Ghost of Masten 2007

“How about some day old banana pudding?”

“My son's dad and I lived in a pop up camper before "it" came along...it was pretty cool...that's the closest to an RV owner I've ever been...

I always did like the idea of a van or little bus you could live in and have seen some cool ones...however, I like to go exploring and I need clearance!
We do sleep in the back of the truck sometimes...

“"I like to go exploring and I need clearance!"

You're a GO------------->”

“I had a nice van for traveling and fixed it up myself from what was a plain delivery van. It was a 1977 Chevy van and I carpeted the inside, put better seats in it, a bed, sink and icebox. It came out good and was great for car camping. The clearance wasn't bad either, but it didn't have 4 wheel drive so it could get stuck. I sold it to a kid on the other side of town when it had 156,000 miles on it. It still ran good and didn't burn any oil.

“Haha! I don't know how people drive those things, I'd have a heart attack before I got out of the driveway.”

It might help you if you put some phone books under yer ass. DC phonebooks, not Vermont.”

“The other day I was tempted to trade my Wrangler for a VW camper van.

I figured it would be perfect for road trips.”

“I loved my old van and was sad to see it go. I bought newer van and still kept the old one for a year, but then didn't want to pay insurance on two vans anymore along with the other extra costs so I sold it.”

“"It might help you if you put some phone books under yer ass. DC phonebooks, not Vermont."


Ooooooooo, BURN!!”

“Alright RichB! You're the only guy that can lure the beautiful and enticing twigeater to the great state of PA and from her pine-bow laiden RV lovemobile!!!!

A feel a cold chill stirring deep within me....

“Wow, this trip really exploded, last time I looked there were maybe 3 people signed up!”

“LOL... Bobo, I hope she can get away that weekend and I hope I can too.

“I'll have to practise my Franch haccent, hein?”

“Hey Bobo, maybe your new buddy will show up too!”

“Gremlin gonna be dare?”

“Think so. He's no square.”

“Maybe I could tempt Monsieur Gremlin with some Franch Brie!”

“I'm so weak.”

“couple of questions

I have back problems. What am I facing here as far as:

mileage to site
general mileage for the weekend
elevation”

“Drive to campsite, get out of car, drink a beer, set up camp, drink another beer, collect firewood, drink another beer, start fire, sit down in chair, drink another beer.

Tree you can drive to the campsite. The biggest problem for your back would be the bumpy road in. You can day hike from the campsite.

“Thanks, Conk. That might make this doable...”

“I'll lay you dollars to donuts if you show up, point to your back and say (ET voice) "Ouch" you won't even have to gather firewood. Not only that but they'll still let you enjoy the fire.”

“Of that, I have no doubt, Rev. This is a good bunch...

Unfortunately, it may come to that. I have 4 herniated disks that aren't going away so fast!”

“Hopefully ENS will get a permit for the fire this year...don't want to piss off the rangers again. How much was that fine?

:D”

“Actually, truth be known, conk made it sound like more work than it is.

I would put it this way.

Show up, begin hitting the keg, get someone to feel sorry for you and put up your tent.”

“get someone to feel sorry for you and put up your tent.”

Isn't that what mapleleaf is there for?”

“Bingo.”

“Chili mon! Would be nice to see you again!”

“Thanks a lot Chili. There goes my tent to crash in.”

“Treebeard, we'll let you be the judge.”

“Reverend Chili enlightens the masses!!!

Gathering Firewood???
- Last year, various lumberjacks brought about a half cord of wood to burn! We don't gather no steenking wood! We drink man... WE DRINK!!!”

“Uhm, excuse me, my little purple Ballerina... Would you puh-lease sign up - at least as a maybe!

Thank You!!!”

“What a Bozo.........................Bobo”

“Do I still get to call ENS "punk" ???”

“By buddy and I were up last weekend doing the OLP. There's a portipotty at the Masten site. Not sure if it'll still be there in Oct. Probably should check with the rangers when getting the permits. Also, a bear came thru at about 1PM and it was in no hurry to leave! The trail was cool, the lower 10 mile section was overgrown, we did it the hard way, up buttkicker hill,I did the 17 mile section in 1 day, all small streams were dry, Pleasant stream was very low, Rock run was good, Hopefully Jmitch will lead that bushwack up rock run!”

“This will be an off week for me so I may still be able to attend. I will probably bring my party tent to ensure maximum coziness.

Though one of the poles is bent....”

“who's got a pic of the privy?”

“When I was up there earlier in the year there was the standard run of the mill fiberglass "tardis" model port-a-pot. If you need a pic I am sure you find them on line. Wheather it will still be there at the end of Oct who knows.”

“They should leave it there. That spot needs a privy of some kind. I'm sure someone is camping there each weekend for most of the year.”

“Wasn't ENS gonna build one? What's that slacker been doing?”

“Let's see. ENS has a choice....


build a brick #&%!$ house or stay at home and sleep with lyra....


but...she IS pregnant so...I predict he builds the damn thing about her 8th month...”

“Aff all peeps, won't she need one? Better get crackin, daddy!”

“Naahh, I have to pee so much, I just wear adult diapers. And girls don't poop. Anyway, he has no time for such things, he needs to be available at all times in case I need him to pick me up a pickle milkshake.”

“Shouldn't you be in the kitchen barefoot cooking ENS his dinner instead of posting on TT Lyra?”

“Hmmm...you do have a point!”

“I have a pic of the privy. I'll try to post it later
I thought one you boneheads might want to see it. I'm not sure it was the "tardis" model(WTF?) I didn't stay in it any longer than necessary. My friend Bob thought it was the greatest thing.....”

“Tardis is the name of the British polic call box that Dr. Who travels around in.

From the out side it resembles a phone booth as much as anything else. The real Tardis is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. But unless one is an avid Dr. Who fan the reference is probably easy to miss.”

“There's nothing like poopin' in the woods.

Why you'd rather use a privy, is beyond me...”

“Or under a rock.”

“The amount of alcohol consumed at that location, demands a privy. Without it, we have People just #&%!$tin everywhere”
