Well, our good buddy is headed out for the trail now, so------->let the betting begin!

I say that dude will make it, but! ya just never know....lots of crazy freaks out there doncha know! I hope he tries to avoid sprained ankles, quicksand, Chupacabras, and blood thirsty axe wielding hillbillies!

He'll make it just fine. A bear is no match for a guy who can raise kids all on his own.

He's not hiking this solo, right? So in case of a bear or sasquatch attack he just hast to outrun his hiking partners.

We should prolly be betting on windigrrl getting eaten by a bear/sasquatch/meangreen.

Well, I was nearly attacked by a bear last night in camp...or maybe that was Windigrrl's pack falling over...and maybe there was alcohol involved.

I hiked the first 11 miles with him today and I have no doubts he'll make it just fine. He is an ambitious hiker!

And don't listen to that Chin [insert cheesy grin here]...that trail is great...I'm not too sure about the mileage he doing but I really did like the trail...so did Kodie the super-dog...I'll let Meany post that story in his TR. :)

Mugsy misses the "super-dog". He didn't see another dog all day on our 10-mile day-hike today.

I assume your feet are all better. Did they hold-up with the near-new boots?

Meangreen was doing 19 - 20 miles yesterday and about 15 - 17 today. I wonder how he felt this morning crawling out of his tent?

Give Mugsy a scratch from me. I think Mugsy might still be able to hold "coolest trail dog" and Kodie can take the title of "super stunt dog."

Feet are good now. They recovered pretty quick. I've been wearing my dayhikers lately. Although I know it was my fault, I'm still not talking to my other boots. :) I'll give them a call when I've forgotten what they did to my ankle. :)

"coolest trail dog?" I've got a killer black lab attack dog that would argue for the title, especially if there was a pork butt scrap dinner involved! ;-)

If Meangreen really wants to torchure himself, he might want to do the Shawnee loop!

Or some summer sausage. It was very entertaining over the weekend wasn't it Maraposa

Oh dear, how that must sound to those who weren't there. Sigh. Life is good.

Dear Bernie
I did not mean to leave you out of the "cool" dog titles. Thank BernieDawg for sticking up for you. Really...total accident. You win for "coolest pork butt stealer." And I can honestly say I've never even heard of that title before you.

I guess the big dog will have to be happy with that title. He hasn't ate that well since Land Between the Lakes!!!!!

I'm going to quess around 2 pm. I asked him to give me a call as soon as he had signal, that's if his battery isn't dead.

I have not heard from him as of yet. It did rain last night, so that should make it a little bit more fun for them today.
