Catskills Peak Bagging trip - April 17-1 9

“It's basically carcamping, 100' from the parking area to the campsites. It's sorta like Masten. I'll email you the camping info.

We're going to have a pot luck dinner Saturday night.”

“Very cool. Two pies no problem.”

“hey lost soul, what is your email address? The one on you TT page got bounced back to me. I need to email you the camping info and get you on the email thread.”

“If your E-mail addy is the same you have mail. The one in my profile is right, don't know why it didn't work.”

“return vault”

“Got it. Thanks”

“No worries. I like the Giant Ledge/Panther hike idea. But being the "Novice" on this trip, anything will be exciting for me. LOL”

“Lucky you being off tomorrow. Not me. Selling cars on Good Friday doesn't seem right.

“You're all gimpy too, aren't you MarkO?”

“I'm back to walking to work(one mile) and I don't plan to keep pace with him-who-walk-fast-and-crazy.............or his side kick.

Howz yoo doon?”

“Not hiking at all yet here, nevermind thinking about keeping up with da Boneheads. I'm deciding...next surgery before this, or wait a couple days. hmmm.

ENS, check your facebook and message me info please?”

“spin! Hi! you so better come up and hang out!!

pretty please : )”

“Please come out and hang up!”

“Hang ups? Got those!!

Who could resist Jackstraw batting his eyelashes like that? Not me.

I see the doc on Mon. If he gives me the "I can't stop you.." on the 3 hour drive there will be someone to drink with around camp?”

“Eath, we may have two to three peeps with us. We gave them till Wed to make up their minds.
after that, they are on their own”

“Hey Spindle, I'll shake your margarita for ya.

(bat-bat!!)

>8^b

If'n camp ain't too far from the cars I can haul my big stove and perhaps we can cook up a big bucket of slop for the weary hikers...............and keep the beerz cold.

Jackstraw, you gonna cook something in your dutch oven?”

“Marko,

If I carry your big stove for you will you "shake my margarita"?”

“umm there is no shaking of anyones margarita's...


anyne have one (blender)that goes into the car lighter? I swear I thought someone had one..”

“Drinkin' and cookin' with Marko?

I'm so there.”

“Hey-ull yes, bay bee !!

Speaketh for thigh self, Mafleleap.”

“Yeah. We can shake with the margaritas.

Tell me what to buy you to cook MarkO.”

“cook off?”

“Use your imagination, Spindle.

Hmmmmm, I'll think on what to cook.

We could grill some animal parts if we have a cooking grate and perhaps make some stone soup.”

“we have a cooking grate but being a veggie head,you can keep your meat to yourself!!”

“Well, I never...........!!”

“MarkO, my imagination is vast and wanders unpredictably.

I'm also not eating beast at the moment but I'll feed it to other people. Brats, beer, beef? Cornerstones of all hiker noms?”

“LMFAO I swear you said you were not eating breast anymore.
good for you!!!”

“I was planning on doing Chicken and dumplings in the dutch oven. I dunno. or Maybe something like that.”

“If I can get there before closing(5 PM) some day this week I can get some bratwurst from the Germans.

What about a vegematarian bean soup or chili?

Jackstraw, shall I bring your dutch oven?”

“Breast??

Well, a nibble now and then.”

“anyone staying at the treehouse thursday or fri night?”

“Dork, yeah, I've swore off breasts for a while too. ;)

mmm veggie chili.”

“Three bean...............or four?

Do ya gots any good recipes or ideas for veggie chee-lay?”

“sorry marko, no beans for you!!”
