“I've been recently sppiled to Crown Black”

“Trubrit said he will be with big ass tent....”

“I was really looking foreward to this trip, but I am going to have to back out. My funds are extremely low right now, so I am just gonna have to sit this one out.”

“Is there enough room for my taj majal tent? 13x7x6”

“yes we have room for your hotel.”

“Please reserve for me one, above ground, executive class, "Hotel" Room with indoor plumbing, room service and a real good view. Also, I would appreciate portor service along the trails.

Will the hotel have a fully stocked Cocktail Lounge, remote TV and intertainment? This is a full service Hotel, right?

Thank you.”

“Nowslummer there is almost everything you ask within five miles of base camp...really! Bill you will be missed!”

“pretty sure I won't make it his year :(”

“Thanks, Spam. I appreciated your response, I was only trying to joke with Chili36.

Don't count me out, yet. I am still trying to adjust things so that I can make the trip. I will probably need help with my gear and getting set-up in my personal "hotel." This may provide a good opportunity to get aquainted with the many, people, who I have not yet met and have signed the list with a "Yes." I have sure missed a lot of great hikes during the past three years or so. And I will be very happy to meet you. However, I think poorly of you to only bring enough booze for yourself.

I would appreciate it, if someone would provide a link to a good weather forecast for the area. Thanks.”

“Weather will be perfect, guaranteed!

“Hold the cursor over Avery County. Second up from the bottom "Linville"”

“Was in the Gorge hiking yesterday,not much snow at all,road is clear and nice.”

“Cool”

“jb2638 -
Thank you, I found it. It looks like a heat wave. This would never sell in Minneswota!

Do they have a lift in the gorge to get one from the bottom to the top? just joking.”

“Getting closer, getting excited”

“I was really looking forward to this trip, but I'm not going to make this one, having surgery tomorrow on the old neck. Doctor's drug it out for ever I had a feeling it was going to mess up this trip. Hope you all have a good trip, I'll have to catch you on the next one.”

“coach1 - Good luck on your surgery.”

“so how many people are going to show up
for this trip”

“A bunch! I plan to arrive around 3 PM on Friday. I may be sooner if things work out but shouldn't be any later. I look forward to seeing each of you.”

“I am very sorry, but I will not be with you this Linville Falls Outing. I was looking forward to seeing all of you. Have a great time, which I am sure you will!

Perhaps we will meet at Trail Days.”

“Should be in around 19:00 Thurs.”

“:(
Have fun!”

“up in the air for us still. Chili was in Atlanta until late last night so we have not started getting anything packed. Plus he may be getting what i had Wednesday and Thursday. needless to say we will not be there tonight. If he feels like driving, we will head that way this afternoon, find a hotel tonight and get there tomorrow morning. fingers crossed:)”

“Great food, great music, great company, but poor weather first time I hammock hanged on a trip learned a lot thanks for all the help guys”

“JB and Nigel...great good guys! It was a very very interesting weekend! Lol”

“Hate we missed it. I was worn out from being sick and Chili was worn out from traveling .. next year hopefully:)”

“

Nigel's (Trubrit) well behaved dog. Trubrit spent much time, effort and I'm sure expense to make us more comfortable than we'd of been otherwise. He made food, snacks, drinks, provided power and shelter. It really made the weekend one to remember. He's like our own Malcolm Merryweather! Thanks to Spam and JB also, I had great fun. Lonewolf and I finally got to hike Table Rock, also great fun. Hope I can make it again next year.”
