Hot Springs has TrailFest, I forget when that is, but it's fallen off a lot in recent years from what I've heard.” 9:48:29 PM 3/08/04 http://www.hotspringsnc.org/trailfest/ “Trailfest 2004, begins with an All You Can Eat spaghetti supper on Friday evening, April 16th. On Saturday, April 17th, we'll have music from the stage beginning at 11:00 AM, prizes, registration and more...” 9:52:04 PM 3/08/04 “well they've pretty much institutionalized Trail Days, so it's a little late to get tired of it now.” 9:52:21 PM 3/08/04 “i dunno. theres a LOT of institutions im tired of” 9:54:16 PM 3/08/04 “I was at TrailDays last year...it was a lot of fun, but too many of the booths on the main drag had nothing to do with hiking. On another note, do you know how long it takes to type in one of these messages with correct spelling when you're three sheets to the wind?” 9:57:20 PM 3/08/04 “yes, I do - check out the Fri night rantings with me, LZ and Helinka. I swear that woman's cool! I know she's married, but she must be hot!” 10:01:04 PM 3/08/04 “Helinka? She was asking about joining the military the other day. That is pretty cool. Fortunately for me, my fingers are well trained to know where all the right keys are. If I just let go and let them do most of the spelling, everything is mostly okay.” 10:02:48 PM 3/08/04 “What me rant. No!” 10:03:39 PM 3/08/04 “yeah, it's when you try to concentrate or think about how to spell a word that you mess up.” 10:03:47 PM 3/08/04 “What gets me into trouble is the words that they are spelling, lol....” 10:05:02 PM 3/08/04 “What gets me are the words they aren't spelling” 10:06:12 PM 3/08/04 “hehehe” 10:06:44 PM 3/08/04 “So speaking of wenches, where are they? I can't really get into any serious trouble with just you guys around, although lumberzac has found out I'm a mean drunk.” 10:07:50 PM 3/08/04 “Well I'm going to call it a night. Want to do a little reading tonight.” 10:08:13 PM 3/08/04 “Good idea. That's what I should be doing. Have a good night LZ.” 10:10:56 PM 3/08/04 “you ran him off the "Been Wondering" thread and now you've scared him into a book. share on you.” 10:11:02 PM 3/08/04 “#&%!$ >shame” 10:12:01 PM 3/08/04 Sick and slackin'! “Yeah, I'm sick so I'm going to bed. Lata.” 10:12:35 PM 3/08/04 “later Dub.” 10:13:37 PM 3/08/04 “I'd be ashamed if I weren't drunk. But if I weren't drunk I wouldn't have run him off the "Been Wondering" thread.” 10:15:24 PM 3/08/04 “Hey it's a book about NY firetowers.” 10:15:42 PM 3/08/04 “now that sounds like a good read. in the Dacks?” 10:16:31 PM 3/08/04 “if you spend much time in the Smokies, you owe it to yourself to read "Our Southern Highlanders" by Horace Kephart. Brings the Smokies to life, pre-park days.” 10:17:45 PM 3/08/04 “I am reading "Guns, Germs, and Steel", and "Red Dragon" right now. Both are good reads, although "Red Dragon" is more exciting.” 10:17:59 PM 3/08/04 “Damn gummint ran my family out of the GSNMP.” 10:18:59 PM 3/08/04 “Southern ADK's. Volume 2 (which isn't out yet) will cover the northern districts.” 10:19:20 PM 3/08/04 Guns, Germs, and Steel “youre just readin it cuz bb said it was his faverit” 10:19:54 PM 3/08/04 “bit, if your not bsing, you'd prolly like that book a lot. Horace was a really intersting guy.” 10:20:06 PM 3/08/04 “My grandfather used to take us to one of the fire towers near his place and let us climb up to the top. Once we got up there and the ranger was up there. He was real cool and let us look around. Exciting and terrifying at the same time.” 10:21:16 PM 3/08/04 “which tower? I've been up Mt Sterling but that's the only one.” 10:22:17 PM 3/08/04 “I am not. My dad is from Newport. There is a "Tritt Cemetary" in the east end of the park, that is one of my family names.” 10:22:21 PM 3/08/04 “Don't know which one, this grandpa was living near Nashville at the time. And no, SB, my wife gave me the book before I ever read that BB was reading it.” 10:23:41 PM 3/08/04 “There are LOTS of old old cemetary's scattered around that park. The NPS seems to do a decent job of maintaining them. I know some people who's grandfolks were from the Hazel Creek area. They go over every yer on "decoration day" and put flowers out and trim weeds and such.” 10:23:54 PM 3/08/04 “There's a 73' tower about 15 minutes from my house. I've never been up it. It's in dyer need of restoration work.” 10:24:20 PM 3/08/04 “its ok to admit you wanna be just like him. everybody does” 10:24:51 PM 3/08/04 “I have relatives from all over that area. I even had a great-grandpa who ran shine to Knoxville.” 10:25:31 PM 3/08/04 “My grand-dad used to run shine in West TN and KY. He raced dirt trackers too - i think it was a cover.” 10:26:37 PM 3/08/04 “OK goodnight” 10:27:26 PM 3/08/04 “Unfortunately my great-grandpa got religion and got out of the shine business before he got into drit-tracking, otherwise I might be a NASCAR driver now. On second thought, maybe that's just as well...” 10:28:09 PM 3/08/04 “ya never know.” 10:28:50 PM 3/08/04 “true, ya never know...” 10:30:11 PM 3/08/04 “i just thought id mention this thread has 106 pages” 10:32:08 PM 3/08/04 “106 is not a prime number.” 10:33:37 PM 3/08/04 “thats a lot.” 10:34:25 PM 3/08/04 Jump to Page << prev
