What are you doing this weekend??

“Backpacking in Rocky Mtn National Park!”

“Taking my 16 y/o daughter and her 16 y/o friend to the beach.”

“Good luck with that, Chili. ;)

Out-laws coming in to town, and a koi club meeting. Last meeting before the pond tour, which HPM is heading up, so we can't ditch it. Might make time to go to a local state park or something, maybe the gorge, and do a little hiking.”

“Dodging snakes at or near Grayson Highlands for some native brook trout.

“Going to the Dragon*Con Parade(to see the 501st march), and then walking 3 blocks over to ESPN Gameday to try to get on TV and hopefully call Corso a boob to his face!!

I can't go out of town, we are confined to within < 2hours from the hospital.”

“building an outdoor grill/island, weather permitting, ... and unrelated to that, picnics.”

“LOL@ Opie. I used to go to DragonCon back in the day. Is that the stormtrooper parade?

Well jeeze, it took me a while to get all packed up last night. RUSTY! And then there's the obligatory sort through everything, resupply, etc. Everything's just in a pile waiting to get thrown in the pack. Five hours and counting. Gonna miss the fam but NEED TO GET OUTSIDE...”

“My neighbor is going to Dragon Con, as an artist/ exhibitor.”

“I have been given a pass by a friend who is an artist/illustrator, but Michelle's geek meter fills up real quick.”

“Lol, I can understand that. Is it the geek meter, or the fanboy proximity alarm?”

“Hey, looks like I just got an invitation for a day hike. Maybe, if the weather stayes fine, even a bag night in the mountains. I don't think it is 100% sure yet, but....keep fingers crossed.”

“My friend is climbing Mt. Blanc this weekend, Euro...”

“That's probably less than four hours from here.”

“Low mileage overnight on Sunday-Monday. Lucy's 1st BPg bagnight. Need to break it to Hayden that Elmo isn't coming with us. That should be fun.”

“TT'ers VOTE!!!


Michelle is letting me out this weekend, taking the dog, want to relax. Here are my options.

1. Standing Indian Mountain Loop (good views, probably a lot of pple)

2. Kilmer/Slickrock (hangover lead area) (Never been there, no idea about anything)

3. Cohutta Wilderness (short drive, not as many views, easy hike, probably won't see a soul)


I hope to sleep in (impossible with new baby), smoke cigars, and drink a big flask of the new Makers Mark 46”

“Gotta wash sleeping bags, take dogs to vet, clean up house....MAN I envy you. Those are some nice bush.”

“I don't know anything about any of them, but if it were me, i'd be wanting some quiet..some views would be nice too...”

“Day hiking the South end of the Firey Gizzard on Friday......then probably back to painting.....sooner or later I'm gonna run out of stuff to paint!”

“Opie, several years ago, i hiked up Hangover Lead trail in the Joyce Kilmer area. camped just below the summit ledge. It's a great trip for an overnighter. the trail is indistinct (it was at least) in places, but the campsite was superb - and i was all alone. There's a nice spring just over the top of the ridge (on the TN side) that was maybe half a mile (maybe less) from the campsite. The campsite is up just below the overlook. On a clear day you can see a loooooong way from up there. I did a clockwise loop.”

“I was thinking of going up to Savage Gulf or Firey Gizzard, but the assigned camping and nazi park rangers....nahhhh”

“This weekend, i'm hoping to get a little climbing in (it's almost winter), but it's sposed to be a might damp here. I will bottle my batch of Smoked Porter that I brewed on 9/25 - can't wait for that to be ready - it's gonna be goooooooood.

May work on the fence some more and perhaps finish that project up!

I'd like to hike up to Emerald Lake to see how the cirque looks with a little snow on it too.”

“Heading out to Shenandoah National Park... Putting another 30 miles or so on these legs.... and a few brews down the hatch

'32oz”

“texas for a conference...oh yippee”

“woohoo! Death Valley!”

“Putting up my Easter decorations !!! I mean its getting close isn't it? LOL.
Got to love commercialism. I see my casket is available for lay away at the funeral home!”

“just found out we might be joining in on teh Denver Zombie Crawl on Saturday afternoon and evening!”

“The Death Valley trip will be cool! I think my car will make it....


birch, you could do a lot worse than Texas in October. Eat some bar-b-q.”

“hell, if yours doesn't, mine will... I'll just bounce a bunch of rocks off the undercarriage”

“getting a tattoo....maybe????”

“NGB - tat of what - and where?

Opie: whuchugonnado?”

“salamander on my foot...”

“Yosemite for some camping in the rain.”

“I think I'm going for seclusion.

I'm gonna pack a bit more than normal, have a comfortable camp, play with Sipsey along Penitentiary Creek, and watch the fire with a full flask of Makers Mark 46, and a Macanudo Hyde Park Cigar after eating roasted Johnsonville brauts.”

“Weekend here!!!

Helping out with son's band tonight, and then hitting the trails...

followed by a clambake on Sunday night!!!

Y'all have a great one..

“drinking some fat tire amber around a fire in my back yard and throwing a halloween party for the kidos”

“Saturday.. Heading out to take an equipment inventory for ODATC Maintenance Dept, then driving down to the Fish Hatchery Road to do a quick scouting hike for a future boyscout trip around the Spy Rock Area on the AT. Saturday Night heading up to Rockfish Gap, and hiking south on the AT to the Paul Wolfe Shelter for the annual Halloween Hoot...

Slight chance of rain Sunday, but otherwise looking prett good.

“Abita Springs, Abita Beer and a Chili Cookoff (spectator, not participant) or

The Rocky Horror Picture Show.


Actually, its a tough choice.”

“not sure... we'll go to the rescue and see what they're adopting. Probably some sort of smallish mutt. The one we've got now is a beagle/daschund/whothehellknows mix that they found wandering the streets at 1 month old...”

“I'm going deer scouting in my brand new Toyota 4 Runner. It's huge! I rekun I could get 3 or 4 deer in there easy....

Pimp'n in style!”

“does it have enough drink holders for the deer to all have a tasty beverage while you drive them around?”

“Deer season. Hunting at my buddy's place then chili + at my other buddy's place with a bunch of Yahoos. Afternoon is optional.”

“Come on 3:45!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I love the idea of an annual Halloween backpacking party.

Guess I'll day hike & watch sports.”

“i'll avoid the wildfire in Boulder Canyon and maybe hike up somewhere in Rocky Mtn Park and see how much snow they have up there!”

“I'll stay at home and learn for my course. Not much time left before the exam.”

“Good luck, Euro.

I'm going to be Laurel-free for much of the weekend. :)”

“Racing the FIG VIII........"60 miles of figgin pain"!
