“Those skeeters are not bad at all up on the mesa. Plenty of wind. It's when we drop down to the creeks, where those skeeters are thirsty.
Best defense is where plenty of perfume and deodorant, also wear the darkest clothes you have and walk all by yourself.”

“heavy candy bar or that skeeter contraption of yours?”

“I don't know how you're going to get 500 g's to weigh any less than 500 g's.”

“How many do you want me to get you?”

“I did some research no skeeter contraption for me.”

“If it says dark choc get me 2 of each, even if it says 70 some percent dark.
Thanks Dub!”

“Seriously ....wear as much light clothing as possible and NO cosmetics, lotions, powders, perfume, after shave, cologne. You know the deal!”

“I just have to have my Obsession!!! j/k I'm telling you NOWHERE on this earth could have more PIA mosquitoes than Upper Salt Creek in Canyonlands! I couldn't believe they lived there considering no water, so I was the only liquid to drink for miles!!!”

“Tango, did you make your trip?”

“Canyonlands? Nope I am still laid up. I hope you guys on the hike don't mind if I hike about 1/2 mph! I might have to bring my walker instead of hiking poles! J/K I don't have hiking poles! (drugs may be making my loopy!) Really I don't have a walker!”

“less than two months to AK”

“Tango, I hope you can make the trip to AK with Mike.”

“I see Mt Jarvis every day in my head. I see somebody forgetting toilet paper. I see woman who have to pee pee with no trees around. I see Jackstraw in his prairie dress and his grin.”

“I see........

”

“LMAO!”

“Where are you guys landing this year?”

“Same as last year only taking another route over to another Mesa. Nipple Hill area, the area where the BEAR DENS are located. The 2 caves you observed for a long time with your weapon near by. I noticed also you never took your eyes off those caves when you cooked or went to potty.”

“He was waiting for the rocks to get up and move.:)”

“remind me to show you a sign similar to this Karbellas on our way to Nabesna.”

“It wasnt quite that elaborate Marko! Hmm kinda like the bonnet tho. Wonder if its gortex?”

“Heh-heh, you know who that is in the prairie dress, huh?”

“nope who?”

“That's Marlon Brando from The Missouri Breaks.”

“heck I thought it was crash bang.”

“f'n A! I've always thought myself the Brando type.”

“JS--you are DEFINITELY Brando in a skirt!”

“The "Godfather" of kilts?”

“Will you wear the kilt on Mother's Day?”

“why do you ask MarkO?”

“He's one hell of a mother.............."shutchyore mouf!!"”

“oh........... that's what I thought.”

“This still happening

GEAR SHAKE DOWN TRIP IN MAY
MAY 29th - MAY 31st”

“YEZ it IZ. Get ready to shake it.”

“Jackstraw is hereby designated group counselor. he took all my fears away by explaining in detail how women should pee in Alaska and maintain a sense of dignity. (I think he knows how to relate because he understand the skirt thing)”

“I'm gonna pee like a boy!!!”

“Tango do it like a MAN standing up.”

“i put a link up on the gear thread for anyone interested.”

“That gear Jackstraw just posted on Gear link is the way to do it like a man. you can even aim as you wish.”

“Just need an umbrella for the ladies to pee behind. Pretty simple actually. Second Gear does it all the time when we are up in the mountains with nothing to hide behind.”

“I just wanna know who's going to be lookin? The other TT'rs will know who snuck a peek when that one comes home bruised!!!”

“You could hide behind Fridge's GIANT backpack.

He won't mind as long as you watch your windage and don't whiz on it.”

“I won't have any bruises on me cause I ain't looking cuz....and my pack is small this trip but the windage still holds true what MarkO said.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!!

The answer my friend
Is pissin' in the wind
The answer is pissin' in the wind

Isn't that a Bob Dylan song?

Small pack?
We are going to have to change your name to Mini Fridge.”

“Just letting everyone know that I will be in the throes of Hockey withdrawls! FYI!”
