KINBERLING WILDERNESS

“NO Trails.”

“possible but not probable”

“it's do-able!”

“Fridge, why don't you move it to the next weekend for t-day weekend?”

“maybe because he doesnt want to”

“I do not believe this question was addressed to you young man. Please go sit on the couch for a 10 minute time out.”

“crash, are you serious about possibly going on this? i might have to fly in/rent a car. the drive time woud put it out of reach for this working man given what i want to do with the rest of my vaca time this year.”

“i'm serious but im still just a maybe.

“Lets do Dolly Sods for ThanksGiving? I hear Dolly likes it that way. I can bring a Fully dressed out Turkey with 2 or three vegies with Bread rolls and Gravy......”

“Damn but that sounds good

I love turkey day.

I miss my dad and his crazy azz burn down the patio deep fried turkeys.

I will want to see where crash sits on this trip fridge. He has scared the crap outta me in terms of hikin with you and I aint going on no suicide mission without my wingman.”

“yogi, if you want, you can meet me in kokomo, and we'll take my car down

but get your conference calls done first!”

“Lmao! Hey, how long is the haul from kokomo then? It is my turn to make the long sit-on-my azz after that trip.to the up.”

“about the same as the frp trip”

“I will have to see about time off then. There is no way to do this in a weekend facing an 11 hour drive each way. I wonder what the nearest airport is. Dulles perhaps. Could still be a long drive.”

“i can fly into charleston for about 200 bucks from o'hare. lots of seats and i can pay with airline miles. i'll have to be back to work on Monday. i'll have to get flight clearance with the spousal authority. i am still paying off the trip to the UP a few weeks ago.

i had to work on columbus day (a company holiday) so i got to swap the holiday i worked for one of the vaca days i took to go to the UP. sweet deal since i had no great celebration planned for columbus day.”

“Hey Fridge!!
Has it going?? So you gonna put up with Crash again, lol
Have a good trip.
See ya later.
Randall”

“Crash is my HERO...and now i just found out he is Yogisan's wingman. Crash is the man...”

“My brother from another mother.”

“Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in this so I am going to make other plans. Thanks for the invite.”

“That is not true some of us poor slobs just can't seem to get it together.”

“Refrigerator

Did you get my email? I am leaning towards this trip,but would still like to see thaat map.”

“I workin on it bigPOPPA...Looking at G mail now.”

“I am looking forward to the tr. Wish I could have gone.”

“I got the map. You were in my Spam folder. go figure.

It was great to meet you Lonewolf. (bummer about the truck, the duct tape looks good) Fridge, always fun to hike with you. You are a world full of knowledge for a slow Southern boy. Let's talk about Greenland.”
