“And for the record I'm more odd in person.”

Yeah, we still need to chat about that bonnets thing. ;)”

shameless....



LOL!”

“Mapleleaf as long as I was entertaining that's all that matters.

Yeah, we still need to chat about that bonnets thing.

Spindle are you sure that's a road you want to go down.”

“Not sober sweetheart. Let's get a buzz going first.

;)”

“spindle's wearing a bonnet for this trip?

ls, you're in!”

“And what's this about us being odd? What is the foundation for these ridiculously trumped up charges?

I could see it if we had posted pics from the MadAtlantic trips over here . . . but most of that activity went down over on The Other Side . . .”

“Bonnets? Nuh UH!

This ain't no hoochie-wear hike.

Curb that filthy mind Mr. Dirty Bird!”

“sounds like I am going to missing something..... :?(”

“If they think I'm wearing a bonnet they've been spending way too much time on those kinda websites, doncha know.”

“Do it for Ken!”

“I like him, but that's just asking for trouble.”

“Would it be ok if I parked at Clarks Ferry Monday morning, backpacked up to the shelter, and someone drive me back Tuesday? If not I can backpack out. Not sure if I can get there down in time to help shuttle.”

“Sure jmitch. No problem with that.”

“I'm assuming we'll have a car down there that needs picking up anyway.”

“That's the plan.

Let's head for the shelter instead of the overlook on Sunday after dayhiking. Looks to be a bit wet.

Here's the NOAA weather for Duncannon:

Sunday: A chance of rain and snow possibly mixed with sleet, mainly after 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Calm wind becoming east around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Sunday Night: Periods of rain and snow possibly mixed with sleet before 1am, then a chance of snow. Low around 30. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Monday: Partly sunny, with a high near 41. North wind between 6 and 11 mph.

Monday Night: A chance of snow showers, mainly after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 31. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

New Year's Day: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 39.”

“Fair enough. I may just load up on Dayquil and hope for the best.”

“If you're all icky you should stay home and drug yourself silly.

ewww cooties!

;)”

“I call you in the morning and let you know how I'm feeling. I feel pretty good right now but I do have a serious case of the sniffles.

“Spent New Years eve on the trail, did a quick overnight to Peters Mtn Shelter. Hiking along the knife edge was interesting with the melting snow. Beautiful sunny day, not very cold. Lots of nice views, especially of the huge Susquehanna, and saw bear tracks. Good to see Spindle and lost soul again.

“Nice pics jmitch!

Good to see you and lost soul too.

Do it again soon? :)”

“Nice pictures jmitch. :)

I can't believe you saw bear tracks. Don't they know they should be hibernating???? Stoopid bears. ;)

What's this I hear of you and lost soul being sound asleep before midnight? Slackers!

Spindle needed some serious entertainment. Next time, more booze! ;)”

“Yes. More booze! ;)

They even missed the heavy weaponry use that happened at midnight. :-o

I have pics too..

“Oooo.... purty pictures, spindle. :)

You got SNOW! :D”

“Are there many trees down on Peters Mtn?

I'd considered crashing this party but with company and still chain saw work at home from the mid-Dec ice storm, didn't make it.”

“nice pics. could you see any fireworks from where you camped?”

“There were some blowdowns, particularly b/w Clarks Ferry Shelter and 225. Just a few b/w 225 and Peters Mtn Shelter.”

“There were a couple fireworks earlier in the evening, and a lot of gunshots for the 20 minutes after midnight.

They're armed to the teeth out there.”

“They're armed to the teeth out there.

hehe”

“It's true I was asleep at midnight again this year. In fact I have to go before a review board at the IBPA. And this time it's serious my membership is in jeopardy.”

“ack... I hope things go well for you. I've had a few people look to challenge my fitness for the work I do and it no fun.”

“Had to look that one up!

;-)”

“I'm hoping he means the International Beverage Packaging Association and not the Irish Beauty Professionals Association. Something tells me he has no business playing with mascara.

Can I get another of those quesadillas please?

Thanks for bringing the munchies lost soul. Delish! :)”

“Oh sorry, it's the International Brotherhood of Party Animals. Local 417.”

“hehehe.....

well.. I am sure once you begin to discuss your cliff diving they will cut you some slack... tell them last year it was all mapleleaf's fault.... They'll understand that

“Ohhh THAT IBPA!

Dang those boys can par-tay.”

“How cold was it?”

“Not very. Meandering back and forth over freezing.”

“just cold enough that the snow went from slushy as we were hiking in to crunchy as we were hiking out...”

“Well look who made it to the dark side.”

“dadgum it...I want to know who already has "fifeplayer"!?!?!?!”

“Seriously. How many of you could there be?

welcome!”

“It's waayy too quiet in here. I must have wandered into the wrong place. Excuse me while I go knit...or something ;-)

“Or somethings can be good too.

You've been here this long and no ones called you a troll yet?

They're all slipping. ;)”

“TROLL!!!!”

“Quesedillas? F***!!! I always miss the good stuff :(”

“well... I did meet fifeplayer last year at the drunkferst... but just to keep Spindlette happy.....”

“I could start something trollish as a decoy...so they don't notice the real newbie...
(fifeplayer busily begins conjuring troll persona)

“Thanks Rev. Tradition must be maintained!

;)”

“Make it a hot ditzy girl troll. Those really wind 'em all up fast.”

“now wait... isn't fifplayer the one who couldn't come out to play all night with us at the drunk-ferst because the guys might get all wound up? That may not be a good plan to provoke that kind of response.”
