Early Summer Blast II

“As the days get warmer and the calendar gets full, I knew it was time to plan the next ESB. I don't expect it will be much different than previous trips. Why mess with perfection?”

“technically, that weekend is still late spring”

“As long as its warm enough to swim and not to hot and buggy.”

“if theres skinny-dipping, im in!”

“Go for it! Will you be back then?

BTW, Fifthmaster said that we do things different here in KY and if we say its summer than by God its summer! :)”

“i'll be back but i probably wont make it. the bearmagathon is that weekend, so if im doing anything, im doing that

yea, i imagine southern kentucky anytime in june is purdy dang warm”

“Dangit, why doesn't anyone do this trip when I can make it?

'fool”

“I need new glasses.
I keep reading "Filthmaster".”

“LOL!”

“Sooo when and where is this trip? Out in Kentucky somewhere??? Is this the LBL trip I've heard so much about? That trip sounds aaaaawwwwweeesome.”

“Damn this is the same weekend as the Gregory Bald trip. I guess Chili and I will have to talk about this one and see which we will do. Neither of us want to miss this one but I really wanna see the Flame Azaleas. decisions decisions...

“I think the section of the N/S trail from Sugar Bay to FS 114 was the best part of the trail.

That is about 11 miles.”

“This may be the LBL trip you've heard so much about. It's in Western Kentucky. The closest town is Grand Rivers.”

“Randall left out the best part.

Oooh, ooooo, oooh, mmmmmm, ooooo, OH!


6 mil of sylnylon and 10' of distance doesn't act as much of a sound barrier.”

“I wondered when you guys were going to bring that up.”

“How do you spell kaypo?”

“LOL! Dave is playing his guitar and just said he needed a kaypo. Then I log on and saw your post.

Dave is working on some new songs. I wrote down the words to several John Denver songs for him to learn.”

“Looks like a great hike, but I'm already taking a week off later June. You'll have a great time!”

“Hey Stomper!!
Happy Mother's day!!!
Still a maybe on this trip!!! Time will tell I guess!! Hey did it ever stop raining down there??? LOL
See ya later.
Randall”

“A big maybe if I can find someone to carry my Kaypo or kaypoll or whatever the hell that thing is....... You know Bernie wants to come if smoked porked butt is on the menu
!!!!!!”

“Thanks Randall!
We've had a couple of nice days between the rainy ones. Maybe it will clear up soon!

I'll carry the kaypo!”

“a kaypo”

“It's that thing that comes between a Jpo and a Lpo.”

“What's
“a kaypo”
oldog


It's a code word for those who were on the trip last year. We can't tell you what it is, you have to come and find out.”

“Hey there Girlfriend!!
Me and Guitargal are in fer sure barring anything terrible happening!!
See ya later!
Randall”

“SWEET.......One of my best backpacking memories was sitting around the campfire at Mammouth Cave listening you two play.

Any chance of Joplin's Me and Bobby McGee? ”

“Hey Randall, were you guys drinking when you called me a week ago? Sounded like a couple of wild people on the phone.”

“Ok, one of these days I'd really like to make it to LBL, but from my town to Grand Rivers, KY, it is 8 hours and 38 min. and I don't have vacation time for this trip. Bummer man :(”

“Stomper, Randall, Windi, Chili,Coyote, and all. Sorry I won't be able to make the LBL ESB II. In fact, some folks are planning to do a few miles on the Adena Trace Trail that very weekend, so we'll all be together in spirit, even though I think (no, I know) you'll be eating a little better. We sure had a good time last fall, so I've no doubt you'll enjoy June. Please do me one favor. I would kindly ask that one evening, when you are all around the campfire, and the kaypo tunes are flowing, would someone please do a reading of the famous Randall Ten O'clock Line Trail Trip Report. My eyes are watering just thinking of this. I would go so far as to say it should become a "tradition" to read this classic report at all future LBL Trips.

Again, sorry I won't be there in June, but have a good time without me!

“Sorry to hear you won't be coming Golfhiker. We'll do a reading and think of our fellow TT'ers at Adena Trace.

Fifthmaster asked me to post that the weekend of ESB is a free fishing weekend in Kentucky. You don't have to have a Kentucky fishing license to legally fish in Kentucky the weekend of ESB.”

“well I actually, FINALLY found a job...a pretty good one too. So if this one sticks, and I expect it will, we will very probably make this trip!!! Is that definate enough?? LOL..”

“Good to hear about the job NGB!!! Looking forward to seeing you and Chili at LBL.”

“It appears my 13 y/o daughter will be with us.”

“I'm happy for you NGB! Glad to hear yall will be coming. Your 13 year old girl and my 14 year old boy will make for an interesting weekend!”

“Man, with this line-up the food is gonna be awesome.”

“I agree! There are still some spots left if anyone wants to join us.”

“My 13 y/o daugher, your 14 y/o son, and my Mossburg Model 500.”

“Luke says he'll be good~!”

“Damn right he will.”

“sounds like the dad in chili coming out. lol”

“Chili I looked for you all in trail days pics didn't see you?Well I am trying to make the trip still don't know if I can if it fills up Stomper I try and get on the next one.Off to CAR CAMP this weekend man that hurts to say it with the OUTLAWS even I need help have a great weekend everyone mine started today about 3:00 pm see ya later gaters.”

“Coyote, you need to be there! Bring the family!

“AbbaGold will be there.”

“When are you going down WG?”

“On Friday. Want to ride together?”

“You gonna be there Coyote? We can go back and revisit that section we ran through...or the one we hiked at 0 friggin dark thirty....”

“Chili I thought i would just ride a lawn chair for the weekend.”

“or you could bring your canoe!”
