Linville Gorge 10th Annual

“hehe, I have a big ass tent, only it has partial mesh sides. It won't keep the wind out or the heat in.”

“Heh, my father in law still has an old military canvas mess hall tucked away in about 5 big storage boxes. Definitely no floor in that thing.”

“spam you still want me to bring my portable 6 person Jacuzzi? You want to put into the Big Tent? I also will need to bring a 10k generator. Just bring some extra gas.”

“I actually just had a company build us a house up there. i figured its easier.”

“Yep I am working again. You people hate me do you not. I need more vacation or a better schedule.”

“Nice 21.....you now 24?”

“a Jacuzzi? This is going to be a great trip!”

“The jacuzzi is an inflatable kids pool, a case of hand warmers tossed in the water and a dozen cans of baked beans.”

“not the jacuzzi I had in mind, lol.

“Fridge iffin you do have a GP Medium it might be good to have if it turns out to be -3 degrees again!”

“what Hyway said....you figured out our hillbilly system. You give me laugh Hyway.....thanks.

“fridge do we want 61 inch tv or will a 42 inch work . can also bring a hd satellite system..”

“okay I bring the dirty movies.”

“hey frig...hey stomper”

“JB, I will be glad to help with cooking if you would like.”

“Is there a site where a GP Medium will fit?”

“I can get a hold of a nice Desert Tan GP Medium but I have no vee hickle to haul it with.

All the zippers and doors work well.”

“What type of heater do you bring?”

“snub nose are light, but this is car camping so I bet its something high caliber and packs a punch.”

“Something more like a 45?”

“ok, so why do we need to bring guns?
and why do they have to be light if we are camping close to the TH?”

“Propane.”

“It is known that Fridge brings one on this trip, and I asked what kind of heater he had.”

“Just be sure to file off the serial numbers.”

“Where did Fullmoon go to, wife wants to know if he will be joining us? She is hoping for another fullmoon swim.

“hopefully full moon doesnt get sick again this year and actually hikes!”

“getting sick makes you hike?”

“test”

“How about some Yankee Pot Roast, JB?”

“is that what we call road kill stew down south”

“marko I could start pickin up that road kill now will be ready for linville..”

“Heh heh!

Pork BBQ sounds nice.

I will bring my cooking rig and cook up something.

If I have some way to haul it I can bring a nice GP Medium..........if there is a large enough area to erect it.”

“With all this food, there probably won't be a need for oysters.”

“marko i have a heater that can heat a lg tent.”

“haha. marko said erect... thats funny...”

“marko i have found about 6 nice road kills and we will have road kill stew this year..”

“could you make your chili for friday night.”

“You bet I can!”

“There is always room for oysters.

Are there any Yankees making the trip who have a truck?

That tent has 14 edge poles and several for the ridge set and about twenty 30" steel pipe stakes.”

“I will be making some old fashion Beef stew with cornbread one night for everyone. It will be topped off with some cobbler, it anyone is interested.”

“Mmmmmmmm sounds good windigrrl.”

“beef stew will be great,,”

“hey marko i have 4 new road kill rackcoons for you .the the road kill stew, i put them in the freezer for you .. hope you like them... see you at linville.”

“I just signed up for this trip. Cant wait. Also wanted to let you know TinCup and his buddy will be attending. Sean is looking forward to getting out with you again.”

“Oysters and raccoon?
Would that be surf and tree?
Hey-ull, yeah!

Hey Timberwolf, do any of ya have a truck to haul a BIG tent?
