Catskills Peak Bagging trip - April 17-1 9

“Howz about a nice potato soup?

Can I have taters?”

“I heart taters!!”

“What, no surf and turf for when we get back ???”

“How do ya like them sauerkraut farts, D.O.R.K.?”

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

I'm hurt. :*(”

“I'm bringing a cooking grate for the kabobs.”

“Harry, you would have loved what I made the other night. I made good ole fashioned, PA Dutch style Chicken Pot Pie, with homemade egg noodles and broth, except I used Quorn version of chicken, so it was veggie, not vegan, but veggie. Very cool, I must say.”

“I'm hurt. :*(”

It's the distance darling. The cold, lonely distance.

All I have here are vegetables, and the occasional fruit. It's not the same. *sniffle, tear*

It's a sad state of affairs..... *sighs*”

“Si, please bring my Dutch oven. I am really looking forward to this weekend.”

“The oven is a might rusty. I could scrub it and oil the inside with peanut and heat it in the oven.”

“Geeze I hope the campsite is big enough for everyone! I'm still trying to figure out what to bring sounds like a ton of food is gonna be there. I'm trying to think of something quick and easy since we will probably be getting back to camp late.

“weather is looking awesome”

“posted by Tom Rankin on Views.

His group used the same route we are going to take.

Doubletop 4-12-9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We left with a group of 10 around 9:05 from Seager. Marc left about 30 minutes before us. Nice walk along the stream to the 'bear'. No hard stream crossings.

After this, up we went, slowly but surely. We arrived at the top around 11:45, having hit the 'rock' which had great views. Marc had been there by 10:15!

Windy and cold but no precip today. Some hard frozen snow here and there, so some donned micro-spikes or stabilicers, other stayed in bare boots. A few slips and slides, but par for the course.

Back down a 'lazy' route and out by 2:30. A nice group, and a beautiful day!

P.S. If you lost a compass up there, PM me.

“If you could season it, that would be great Mark. If its too much trouble , ill figure something else out.

ENS - Doubletop, then Halcott?”

“LOL with all this food we are gonna need about 4 cooking fires!

Maybe I figure out an appetizer like cheese and crackers or Shrimp cocktail, something that doesn't need to be cooked.”

“Please don't buy shrimp from the trunk of a car.”

“Marko of course not I buy it from a truck parked along 95!”

“There's enough food. I'll bring beverage.

Anything special? ENS? CP? Tis your finishing party.”

“finishing party??

Are they going to be debutants?

I haven't got a thing to wear!”

“Wear a kilt. Hello.”

“Howz about you make me one. Can ya find a nice Eoghain tartan?

(from urban dictionary)
Eoghain

Beautiful, sexy and caring man. (and utterly adorable)
Good gods that Eoghain is sexy!!

“I'll see what I can do. Powder pink ok?

Because Beautiful, sexy and caring man. (and utterly adorable) is just a little bit of the ghey. ;)”

“Ha ha ha !!!

You iz de bom-buh, Spin!

That's perfect because I would look like a moose in chartreuse.”

“After this hike, I will eat or drink whatever is shoved in front of me.

Since I will be arriving late friday, is there an exact find in the dark location for this place ? I wanna use onstar, but I need to tell them where it is or close enough to it.”

“Yo Spindle, CrazyPace is askin' for it.”

“For what? A kilt? Dare we dream.”

“"After this hike, I will eat or drink whatever is shoved in front of me."

That's what I'm talkin' about.

"We" are not dreaming of CrazyPace in a kilt, little lady.”

“Oh. Right. Sorry.

Beverage. Stoli maybe.”

“Bummage. I'm wanting to go with. Anyone got a spare $350 for airfare?

:\

I guess I'll need to live vicariously. Spindle, be sure to fill me in on details, eh? I want the link to the private photo collection, too. ;)”

“It's just money. You can't take it with you.

Pics. Can do. :)”

“Your gonna need more then some stoli's to get me to wear a dress !!

Although, I bet you could get pennsy in a kilt if you feed him sambucca!”

“Too easy, but it would be a prized pic in the collection. I'll confer with the women on tartan selection.”

“Oh, I thought you said "tarts".

CrazyP in a dress?
That would be a scene.”

“Intersection of Matyas Road and Route 28 is the closest thing I can think of to a direct find. The parking lot is at the end of Matyas Road, there is a trail kiosk there and a trail register. You walk 100 feet in from the parking lot and the campsites are there. There should be several campsites and fire rings there. I've not seen the place, but it will accomadate our group. I talked to someone who is knowledgeble of the site. IT sounds very much like Masten. There are even remanents of buildings.

So what is the menu for Saturday night? DO we need anything? What can I bring? I will have a cooler of Keegan Old Capitol, one way or another.”

“oops I broke my own rule.


shhhhh”

“My ETA is between 9 & 10 pm. Save me a tent spot and a beer.”

“MarkO a kilt is not a dress! If it was a dress you'd wear something under it. Don't insult my ancestors.

Oh and we'll need your kilt pics for our files at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.”

“"Oh and we'll need your kilt pics for our files at your earliest convenience."

Who TF is "we" and what kinda files.............oh, never mind.

Just as long as I don't have to shave my legs. I would be afraid of nicking my............

Spin dear, weez gots summuduh same ancestors.

(perhaps I kin rent me one uh dem kilts)
Oh crap, what if my shoes don't go with it?”

“yup DT then Halcott”

“When are you guys planning on arriving? Assuming Saturday, have you thought about what time to start our "super special but not as special as the other super special" hike? If we do Giant Ledge and maybe Panther, wanna start early? My offer stands that I'll have tea and coffee ready when you get there.”

“not sure. we have to pick up Pedro.hope to be there by 9:00
please dont wait for us if you want to get out early, go for it.

“Is anyone going to be there Friday?”

“looks like TW and I will be heading up friday afternoon. What u thinkin?”

“Lt will be there early afternoon and I am hoping to be there early afternoon.”

“I'm gonna get there as early as I can. I need to finish this job first so I can get some money!”

“Honky please, I don't want to know what you do for money!

I will hit the road Friday morning and perhaps arrive early afternoon.”
