“Yeah yeah, love you bunches but I probably won't be giving you a run for the money on trail time this year. (Unless I don't come home AT ALL June-Dec...hmmmmm?) ;)

Yes we hike. Late summer, fall...

You should come to CO with me mid-Sept. *poke*”

“Uh that whole Sept thing doesn't work real well.... School gets in the way.. oh well...

Need to get out to CO sometime.. HMMMM... 2012?!?!?

“I got 2, but this weekend I will add 2 more and that will equal 4.”

“3! Yay!”

“does a night in jail count?”

“I think it depends on whether you had to sleep on the floor or a bench. Also depends on why you were in there.”

“18.. none of them in jail...

'32oz”

“4”

“I need a ruling... Sleeping in the car, at the trailhead the night before a hike... does it make any difference if the windows are down?

'32oz”

“I say if you arent at home in a bed or at a hotel in a bed, its a bag night. Adjourned!!”

“I always count trailhead nights. Haven't had any this year since I live so close to the trails.”

“Au contrair monsieur Nemster...

As we learned after a heated debate, hostel nights are not bag nights, and neither are cabin nights...

Which is why I take my tent with me when we go to bear's den.... Why be cozing inside, when its going to cost you a bag night..

Oh man this will be a great weekend. Gonna finish up Saturday night at my friend's parents land on the lake. One of her kids will be bringing out some steaks and charcoal.”

“I had steak and charcoal before.....didn't taste as good as they said it would.”

“ok.. so does laying on a sleeping bag while duct taping your feet so you can try to continue walking, even though you never actually slept count as a bag night>

'32oz”

“Feet not holding up?

If you haven't already try this:

Leukotape P - by far the best, longest lasting tape for your feet. It is better than regular athletic tape and far better than duct tape.

Hydropel - It may very well keep you from getting blisters all together.
