Instead, I'll be at UConn for a buddy's graduation. Oh well, there's always the next weekend...” 10:56:32 PM 5/20/04 “I'm goin back to NC next weekend for a nice three night trip in Panthertown Valley. takin the kids too, should be fun.” 10:57:30 PM 5/20/04 “I think I'll see if my parents want to meet me at Hocking Hills. They've been wanting to go camping with me. I'm just afraid I'll get there and there won't be any place to set up my hammock.” 10:57:50 PM 5/20/04 “yeah one of em popped up unexpectedly....one was still not too interesting but the other two were looking pretty good...i know one moved to atlanta this week and another should follow soon after...might end up having a good time up here after all..” 10:58:09 PM 5/20/04 “Crap! I just realized this weekend is memorial day! Parks are gonna be packed with tourons! Roam, damn dude, another far away trip! I hearby give you the new trail name of "drive around" Shep, where are the pics man?” 10:59:54 PM 5/20/04 “use your treking poles Dub, that's sure to impress the folks, setting up a hammock without trees.” 11:00:01 PM 5/20/04 “not this weekend man, next weekend is Mem Day.” 11:01:45 PM 5/20/04 “This trip is close by comparison, only about 9 hours, maybe 10 to get to the trailhead.” 11:02:11 PM 5/20/04 “Ah, thank God it's the next weekend. I think I might just go camping. I need to test out the trekking pole setup in the yard. I so wanna test this thing out.” 11:03:18 PM 5/20/04 “I don't know if I can do NC (another 500+ mile-each-way trip)on Memorial Day weekend... I'm already driving 500+ miles each way to Dub's Zaleski trip the following weekend. But hey, I'm talking to the person who drove 1000 miles each way to hang out in PA for the weekend earlier this month. Roam, you're like my new hero. How do you do it?” 11:03:56 PM 5/20/04 “Roams da man. Not only is he a single dad with cool kids who like camping, but he gets out more than most people I know and is willing to go the extra mile.” 11:06:25 PM 5/20/04 “get in the car and go! lol I live in S. Florida, I knew when I decided to take this job that I'd be traveling a lot to hang out in the mountains or see people. So, it's ok. It'd be nice if the gas prices dropped a little, but oh well. I can't make the Big Z trip, I was hopin too, if I were I probably would skip the NC excursion. The nice part is the area we're goin into is fairly remote and not developed in the least, and not all that well known either. So even though its Memorial Day, we should be uncrowded, I hope.” 11:08:05 PM 5/20/04 “It helps being single and having a cool boss thats pretty damn flexible with my time off.” 11:08:48 PM 5/20/04 “Hey yall check out my Dec trip I posted today. The 'Glades Gator Chase. Come down here and hang out on my turf this winter.” 11:10:00 PM 5/20/04 “hmm maybe i should have gotten some pics....didnt think of that...yeah im slackin....i tried...sorry...i did send roam one pic though...trying to see if i can get some chicks up in atlanta to go camping...not sure most wont go backpacking....” 11:11:18 PM 5/20/04 “Roam, I'll gladly take a break in FL in DEC...need a canoe or kayak though.” 11:12:52 PM 5/20/04 “I'm gonna buy two this fall, one tandem and one solo for me and the kids. The kids won't be comeing on this one with me, you could use one of mine, or we could use the tandem.” 11:13:44 PM 5/20/04 “I just might go to FL if Southwest hooks me up with a killer Fun Fare. I think it's so cool that they server Philadelphia now... Only by plane though -- after my second road trip to FL, I swore, never again.” 11:14:06 PM 5/20/04 “They are easily rented without too much cost as well.” 11:14:10 PM 5/20/04 “canoeing in the everglades sounds like fun... now that's a hell of a long ways to go for a weekend, maybe if it was that whole month u marked off, and i didn't have school...” 11:14:18 PM 5/20/04 “Phantom, maybe we'll carpool ;) Roam, I'll gladly borrow a canoe or kayak from ya.” 11:15:27 PM 5/20/04 “the dates are really flexible, I figure it'll kinda naturally evolve into a three or four day trip to fit peoples schedule. It could probably go to the week after Christmas just as easy. I can't get more than 5 days off realistically.” 11:15:41 PM 5/20/04 “The Flamingo Visitor Center is at the extreme end of mainland FL. Fly into West Palm Beach or Orlando is probably the cheapest, seems like Miami is kinda high priced for flights. I can pick up in Orlando or West Palm though.” 11:17:04 PM 5/20/04 AT Thru Hike “IF I graduate in Oct on schedule (if I don't I'll be dead as parents will kill me) then the plan is to work my ass off from Oct-March saving enough money to pay my bills for 5-6 months and hike the AT. That's the plan.” 11:17:39 PM 5/20/04 “how about 5 days oct 20-24 on say... the superior hiking trail, or snowbank/old pines loop, just some thoughts that have been goin through my mind...” 11:18:26 PM 5/20/04 “I'll probably fly into Orlando Friday sometime and will need a lift back to the port by Sunday...can't imagine I'll have much vacation time if I start a job in Oct.” 11:18:48 PM 5/20/04 “thats a good plan! I was thinkin all the way to Damascus last week of how I could pull that off in the next two or so years. I'd have to ditch the kids with their Mom for a few months though. Which, she's been doin better lately, its not out of the question. Then money becomes an issue. If I did it before I bought a house down here, I might could just sell all my #&%!$ and store the rest. who knows.” 11:19:59 PM 5/20/04 Big Hike Summer 05? “If I don't hike the AT like I want to...and once I find out my job situation...anyone want to plan a big 2 week trek out west? I say Glacier, Yellowstone, and maybe the Grand Canyon.” 11:20:43 PM 5/20/04 “i'm in” 11:21:41 PM 5/20/04 “Dub, you're going for a thru hike next year? That's sooo cool. I've always wanted to do that, and right now, it looks like by 2007 I should have enough debts payed off for that to become possible. Yeah, it's still 3 years away, but hey, ya gotta set your goals.” 11:22:49 PM 5/20/04 “"Phantom, maybe we'll carpool ;) " Ha! Now that might be doable. But with the price of gas these days, it might actually be cheaper to fly to West Palm out of Philly for $198 round trip (courtesy of Southwest)...” 11:25:37 PM 5/20/04 “"I wish I could go backpacking this weekend -- and there's even a trip up in the Adirondacks this weekend. Instead, I'll be at UConn for a buddy's graduation. Oh well, there's always the next weekend..." PhantomSoul 10:56:32 PM 05/20/04 ignore this user It's probably for the best that way. The ADKs are not knee friendly.” 11:25:40 PM 5/20/04 “Hey LZ, that's part of it too -- I've been to the ADK's and it's killer even on non-injured knees. But even if it wasn't for the knee, I'd be in Shenandoah right now. I'll have you know that I've been successfully "stair-training" all week without any soreness. I need to get back out there -- this is like cabin fever all over again.” 11:30:39 PM 5/20/04 “I'd like to do it in 05 before I start a career...but if I don't have enough money, 06.” 11:30:53 PM 5/20/04 “Phantom, maybe you could fit in some day hikes. No heavy pack to affect your knees.” 11:34:33 PM 5/20/04 “Besides, I will avenge the ADK's on the Butt-Kicker this fall! ...let's just hope that I'm the one doing the kicking...” 11:35:51 PM 5/20/04 “Bring it on. HIKE PAIN!” 11:37:34 PM 5/20/04 “Glacier would be a great way to spend some time in July.” 11:38:29 PM 5/20/04 “Yea, maybe some dayhikes... But then again, it's not like I have problems with my knees. I actually saw a doctor about it and he determined there's nothing wrong with the joint itself. He figures I probably just pulled a tendon pretty bad or something (very possible if you don't watch your step in Rocksylvania) and I'll be fine to hit the trail again in a couple of weeks. Can't wait til then...” 11:41:30 PM 5/20/04 “I'd like to take two weeks and hit at least two...how about Glacier and Yellowstone?” 11:41:42 PM 5/20/04 “Hey guys” 11:43:18 PM 5/20/04 Jump to Page << prev
