Ohio Folks

“Going to Cleveland this weekend. I just decided. My wife and I had to come home early from our trip up north due to many things going wrong and seeing that this is my last week until I go back to work, we decided that we're going to the Rockin' Roll Hall of Fame. Always wanted to go. Buddha, got any good info?”

“Yeah, R&R Hall of Fame is OK, but I wouldn't make a day of it if I were you. You could take the wife to Tower City (huge mall) and score some big points. If you are staying the night downtown, you should hit the flats (a huge conglomeration of bars and clubs along the Cuyahoga River). If you are into cigar bars and trendy jazz bars, there is I Spy near downtown. If you want to have a nice dinner try The Mallorca Great atmosphere and food!

BTW - best deli lunch in town is The Barristers (huge cornbeef sandwiches)

Good luck, have fun!”

“Thanks, Buddha. We're leaving Detroit area Saturday and spending the night. Gonna tear that town up Detroit style!”

“West Side Market is nice. Walk through the stands and buy your wife flowers.”

“Thanks, you guys are goin' to make me look real good!”

“Detroit style?!?! Well, I can't help you find any crack or potholes, and we have a winning baseball team here, so I guess I can't reccomend any Detroit things to do.... lol”

“Good call on the west side market RL. One more cool place to go is Little Italy. Great Food and atmosphere, and it's around the corner from the Cleveland Art museum. It's not downtown though, about 5 miles away in University Circle.”

“I was mainly looking for the road construction areas. BTW, what's a winning baseball team? lol”

“is anyone passing by anywheres close to me?? i am in sarnia.. it sounds like a real fun trip.. i could meet someone in port huron or at a rest stop somewhere.. if not i guess i could take a train to somewhere in ohio..

unless i have to work.. shouldnt be a problem.. not having a job n' all.”

“buddur....
i'm liking the idea of putting together a geocache....what kind of stuff do you reckon we ought to bring to stash in the cache?? the rules specifically prohibit foodstuffs, so i guess lime green jello is out??”

“Check out the making a cache page...

A Geocche Stash notification sheet, pencils/pens and a notebook are standard...the rest of the original contents are optional.”

“I would love to be there. Zaleski is way on the other side of Ohio from Indiana where I'll be visiting friends and family. I'll have to try to figure out where and when my little road trip will take me. If my van is holding out and I've got the time I'll be there. I would love to meet you all.”

“crap.. i am taking the cadets camping that weekend. yay for canoeing!”

“Too bad Canuck. We would take ya along if you could get to the Detroit area. There're train stations in Dearborn and Ann Arbor.”

“I'm too lazy to read the whole thread. I assume this trip is still for Zaleski? If so is the north section in the plan?
If so I may show up.”

“Dude, I think we are gonna do the same route that we all did last september. You oughtta come though. New faces and good hiking,plus some hills to boot!”

“oops that would be December NOT september...”

“I'll keep it mind. I'd have a better chance of showing up if I thought it'd be to see the parts we didn't see in December. It would be nice to meet new folks though.”

“if dude ain't goin', I ain't goin'! lol - come on down walkin'dude, we are going to have a blast!”

“That's goin' "up" for me. about 7 1/2 hours.
It would be wierd to hike Zaleski when the temp doesn't range from 12 - 33 degrees. LOL”

“I'll do the N Loop with ya Mr.Dude.

I'd also like to take time to drop the pack and walk the RR tracks to the haunted tunnel.”

“Buddur, I'd be up for that as well, I haven't done it yet (it might be a groovy place to plant a cache)”

“my son and i day hiked into the moonville tunnel a couple of years ago....it's pretty cool....built entirely of brick....spooky place!!”

“also, don't know if this appropriate for this thread (does anybody care??), but went to the jake last night and saw that bad bad tribe play the comeback game again....what an exciting baseball game!! any indians fans out there??”

“Gonzo - I'm a huge tribe fan. I went to 14 opening days in a row until 3 years ago. I watched the game last night, cussin' at Rockhead and Tuna, thinking our boys had NO HEART. I was resloved to write off the season if they lost that game (and I'm not a fairweather fan) The comeback made all the difference, now I'm in till the end! Go tribe, I hope you stayed til the end of the game!”

“null”

“I am sorry I am not yet used to computers. It remains my fervent hope that I might come and that I could meet the Brainy woman for whom I have changed my ways taken on fancy manners.”

“If I do make this trip, I gotta do the Moonville Tunnel and the north section plus the part of the trail we skipped to do the road hike.
How many days is this trip schedualed for?

Put ya joggin boots on Hyper, incase I can make it!

BTW, Whose comming so far?”

“If I make the trip, I might be interested in extending the thing by a few days. What's the likelihood of anyone else being to stay a little longer than the weekend.”

“None for us.”

“zero here”

“We'd only be able to stay the weekend.

Oldie - it sounds like Buddha, Walkindude and Buddur may be up for an extended trip.”

“I'm in for the weekend but I wouldn't mind seeing some stuff I ain't seen, while I'm there.”

“joy...

i will get back to you about the ride thing,.. i think i got my weekends mixed up..

if i can go.. what time are you planning on leaving? from where? and where could/should we meet?

hope i can go.”

“If the bulk of the people are just doing the weekend thing, I may show up a day or two early and hit the north part first and hook up with the rest of the gang on Friday "if" I can make it.
What am I talking about "if"? Yall bastads are gonna talk me into it.”

“hehe.... I doubt I'll be able to extend my trip, but ya never know. It all depends on many things.”

“walkindude - you hafta come! i need to add to the list of people i've met from tt.

what could you possbily have to do that is better than hiking w/ wonderful people?????

(was that a good attempt at talking you into it?)”

“Good News (at least I think so!) Sadie is back on the list of attendees. It turns out that dogs don't get asthma. Only allergies. The allergic reactions can mimic that of an asthma attack. So, as long give her some Benadryl before hikes, we're all set.

P.S. She says she can't wait to see the folks we hiked and camped w/ last month. And meet some new people, too!”

“Tarabull, glad to hear that sadie is okay.”

“me too”

“were you glad to hear it twice... :)”

“Newcanuck, We will be leaving around 2:30 Friday. We could pick you up from the Amtrak station in Dearborn or Ann Arbor. Or if you've got another way of getting over here email me @ joenjoyharvey@msn.com and we can figure something out.

Glad Sadie'll be coming along!”

“I'm actually deciding between 3 trips. This one, RRG2, & Mount Rogers. If I do make it up there I will be hiking the whole thing this time.”

“Well dude, we will have a pretty good sized group. I plan on RRG2 trip as well, so hopefully you can do both.”

“BB
I'll have a few days of Vacation to use. I'll still need some for other trips I've planned for when it's nice and cold.
I'm still weighing my options. I'm sure we'll run into each other someplace this BPing season.”

“Is this trip still happening??? because I think I might be able to go now. My work and school schedule looks good!!! So is it Still on???”

“I recon. Don't know if I'll be there. Still deciding what trips I wanna do this season.”

“i am still planning on being there on friday afternoon and i'm looking forward to meeting some wild tt people hiking in with their headlights on....dude, if you are still interested in this trip, i am up for walking the whole circuit....”

“I'll be there friday afternoon.”
