Sunday morning is gonna be a bit chilly. No oyster for me, thankyou. I hate seafood. Love steak though. Are we relly having a communal meal? What do I need to bring for it if we are? And will it be Friday or Sat?

Well there is no way I am going to be able to get to Baltimore for this weekend. It just ain't gonna happen. I'll be thinking about you.

Have you guys been keeping up to date on the bearmagathon? I need to some help and guidance there so while you are getting blitzed around the campfire, but before you get fully blitzed, give some thought to the questions I've been asking and get back to me. Even if you don't hike the BFT on this, you could still support the idiots that do financially.

Can i bring a couple of Women on this trip?
I work with these 2 women who are wanting to meet people who backpack, and are looking for a companion friend to go backpacking with. They are 21 and 24 years of age with little experience but does have the gear and they do have a Good Job making the BUCKS.
If this trip is to much, I will tell them maybe another time?

fridgy,
yea you can bring 'em... last year, yerby brought his, uh... uh, friend...

just remember, this year won't be as physically demanding as last year; since we're hiking down to conley cove and setting up base camp... if they dont want to hike saturday, they dont have to... or they can hike easy day hikes... or they can hike the whole linville river if they wanted...

the only thing that will be hard is that the temperature will probably be very cold... in the teens at times... but if you say they have good equipment, bring 'em on!
