“Got the FB and back at ya!”

“Choo got mail, man!”

“You have mail and I am checking my spring time dates on trips NOW.”

“I'M IN!!!”

“Yes you are!”

“Holy Smoke!!

We are in trouble now, Fridgy!”

“The more people we have the more likely chance of #&%!$ going wrong!!!”

“This section we are doing Spam is mostly above tree line and rated Moderate. Grizzly Lake will have some Tussock Bog fields but for the most part this entire section in on solid ground.”

“3 Veteran experienced Backpackers going next year. 80 percent hike will be down hill.

When deposits are due in Feb this will thin out a few.

“I can buy my ticket now from ceap tickets or expedia for 560 bucks!”

“Where you coming from Spam?”

“Charlotte,NC”

“I bought mine yesterday.”

“Yeah MarkO! TROUBLE!

You'd think my ticket would be cheaper! I am closer!”

“I am a strong maybe (90%). I own a campground and July 4th is a hard time to take off. If the stars align I'll be there. I am working hard on getting new trustworthy workers for next summer.”

“Go-Go, Tango!”

“I'll know better in the spring. Don't want to miss this opportunity! Especially to hike with YOU MarkO. I a have a Canon that has a 40x zoom so go swimming MarkO! Ha ha ha!!!”

“MarkO skinny dippin wut....I bet he only gets knee deep and that will take his breath away.”

“Can it be any colder than a West Virginia crick?”

“Hell MarkO.....ask spam....”

“Yup!!! What he said!”

“I didn't believe it when I was told Glacier water will be the coldest water you will set you feet in while backpacking. It is.”

“I washed my face in a little pool below Blue Glacier near Mount Olympus and my hands and face got kinda numb.”

“hehehe what do you thunk yur Butt going to do?”

“Probably jump up and run ten mile....heh heh”

“THIS TRIP IS NOW BOOKED FULL. If you are interested in going I can put you down as an Alternate. So if some one Bails out in February when Deposits are due I can enlist you on the Team. I am sure someone will bail out so e MAIL ME FOR SPECIFIC INFO ON COST.

“Okay we have made room for ONE more team member if anyone wants to go. E mail me asap.....Fridge”

“Are you planning on everyone hiking and camping together?”

“I think we will have to separate the boys from the girls.”

“Yes, sir!”

“awe shucks!”

“That's what crowbars are for.”

“Is Tango bringin' the .44 Magnum?”

“I hope so”

“iamjcb We will pitch tents as close as possible making us look big. This seems to work in Grizz country. Our first line of defense will be MARKO...He will sleep at the outer most perimeter and his GAZ will help keep those silver back GRIZZ away.”

“I say we stuff a raw steak under his tent just to be on the safe side.”

“He'll just sniff it out and eat it himself!!!”

“Yea what spam said. MarkO eats it.”

“Can't get it on the plane, not a cop anymore!

And as for the posts after that "What have I gotten myself into?"

Iffn the grizz eats skinny little MarkO he'll just be an appetizer so we have to find a main course!”

“Why not let Griz decide who looks tastier?

Eh............Fridgy?

Too bad Randall ain't goin', he could stash that pistol in his drawers and get it on the plane.”

“I also have a special surprise gift to each team member I will bring with me to Anchorage...
