There are two great lakes in WV that are great for camping. Summersville is the best lake, and Sutton is the second best lake. Both lakes have campsites that could accomodate large groups. Sutton lake has boat rentals. You can rent a party barge that will hold 20 people for around $119 a day or $259 for the weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun). Summersville is a much more scenic lake with better camping but I'm not sure about boat rentals. You could boat to a camping spot as well.

Looks like I may be doing the big one this weekend. Backpacking over the Adirondack Great Range. 8 mountains over 4000', about 25 miles round trip, and over 9000' elevation gain. The only thing that may stop this trip is bad weather. Wish me luck.

There are about 5 mountains with that name in the park. The worse part is that Nippletop sits on next to Dix.

don't know where that came from. I'm having one of those days. Earlier I started singing the "Wizard of Oz" song: "We're Off to see the Wizard" in a muchkin type of voice. (I was driving at the time) totally out of the blue. Is that treatable w/ meds?

Roam Around

I was thinking of doing the trip on the Allegheny Front trail in central PA, but instead decided to move it to the Loyalsock trail because it is a more scenic trail. Gorges, waterfalls, ridgelines and mountains.

so i wanna get myself a new car, who's had any experience with Kia? They've got a super cheap model.

I have a Hyundai which now owns Kia--so I think the Kia's are now just cheaper copies of the cheap Hyundais.

What can I say about my Hyundai?

Well, it's got 87,000 miles on it and has been to 23 states and the Rocky Mountains. It has never been in the shop for anything. This morning I took it in to replace the brakes which have never been changed and 50% of the pads are still there--after 86,000 miles! It doesn't burn oil, gets great mileage, and has a 100,000 mile warranty. Plus I paid only $13,250 for it and it came with a sunroof, spoiler, CD, and cruise. I know one girl who owns a Kia and hasn't had any problems and three guys with Hyundai's and high mileage and no problems yet either. One has 140,000 on his and it hasn't been in the shop yet.

Just follow the maintenance program outlined in the book to the letter and these cars will last forever.
Dub

One of the car makers is now offering free maintenance while the car is under warranty -- I forget which one, but for some reason, Hyundai rings a bell...

I want to come to Loyalsock next weekend. It'll be like a reprisal of the Finger Lakes tour. I still have to talk to Maple and Scorch about their 'yaking trip -- although, I must say, I only signed up as a maybe for that...

you guys are slacking. get busy posting!

Mitsubishi is the one that offers free service. Hyundai is low service--they only recommend changing your oil every 7500 miles...of course I still go with 3k.
Dub
7:06:22 PM
7/21/04

VW won't even talk to you about an oil change unless you've gone at least 5000 miles since your last change...
