People wearing shorts and going to lay in the sun at the beach (the water's cold still then).” 10:55:07 PM 3/19/04 “roam, get your map out. 4hrs N of Toronto” 10:55:12 PM 3/19/04 “ok, hang on. sounds like its out in the STICKS! (thats a good thing)” 10:56:02 PM 3/19/04 “I was down there last december on my road trip, while it was cold and snowy up here we were swimming down in the keys, ahhh” 10:57:05 PM 3/19/04 “betcha me & simer would be swimming anyway” 10:57:13 PM 3/19/04 “oh yeah, i'd go swimming... i went swimming in MN on march 5th once... just a little chilly, brr” 10:58:11 PM 3/19/04 “Algonquin's not in the sticks...east of Huntsville. biggest park in SW Ontario.” 10:59:12 PM 3/19/04 “ya, ya probably would, and everyone would just nod and say "tourists". LOL WOW that's a HUGE park! Guess we'd have to fly into Toronto?” 10:59:16 PM 3/19/04 “or beefalo” 11:00:07 PM 3/19/04 “Looks like a cool place on my crappy map of Ontario. Lots of lakes and streams.” 11:00:40 PM 3/19/04 “What about North Bay, maps shows an airport there, is that one of those cities that costs triple to fly into?” 11:01:37 PM 3/19/04 “cause you couldn't pay me enough to go to detroit” 11:01:47 PM 3/19/04 “sounds like fun” 11:02:30 PM 3/19/04 “I've driven through Motor City once. Saw all I needed to - it's gross, to put it mildly.” 11:02:37 PM 3/19/04 “dunno where the best place to fly into is. Toronto would be cheapest. a way better park is killarney.” 11:03:42 PM 3/19/04 “up on the north side of Georgian Bay? - looks pretty damn remote!” 11:04:51 PM 3/19/04 “What about Gatineau over in Quebec, looks like its really close to Ottawa for us fly-ins.” 11:06:31 PM 3/19/04 “thats maybe 2 or 3hrs NW of huntsville. of course, in Canada, we have to get permits to camp. even in the backcountry. they are booked up quickly” 11:06:36 PM 3/19/04 “you live in Toronto?” 11:07:24 PM 3/19/04 “oops. i'm way slower than Roam tonite. my directions were for killarney. Gatineau huh? gotta check wuith Gremlin about that one. i've never been there.” 11:08:32 PM 3/19/04 “It caught my eye cause it's close to a big airport city.” 11:09:07 PM 3/19/04 “London i don't think there's any backpacking at Gatineau.” 11:10:30 PM 3/19/04 “I bet there'd be a half dozen or so of us that would make a trip, me, Dub, maybe simer and a few others. It'd be cool to visit Canada. Algonquin would be fine - or Kilerney (sp) as long as you assume responsibility for planning routes and such. Yall got griz up there don't you?” 11:11:29 PM 3/19/04 “no backpacking = no Roam Around!” 11:12:14 PM 3/19/04 “Griz??hahaha teeney black bear, maybe wolves, possible couger going to Frontenac, rattlers in Tobermory booorring” 11:13:47 PM 3/19/04 “ok. I guess it's western Canada, BC where they are. In FL we have 90 - 140 pound black bear that look kinda mangy and are scared of their shadow. And the FL panther which is a cool mammal but very close to extinction (habitat loss).” 11:15:37 PM 3/19/04 “I did see a gator swimming down the St Lucie River on my way to work the other day though. That was kinda cool - looked to be at least 8 foot long, as I crossed the bridge at 20 mph.” 11:16:59 PM 3/19/04 “PLANNING??!!?? i cant even get my own life together, let alone organize a trip! damn. think of the logistics. the coordinating. the kids?” 11:17:26 PM 3/19/04 “How old are your kids? My son is 12 and the girl is 9.” 11:18:00 PM 3/19/04 “Ok,, tell ya what. I'll plan the trip and logistics if you plan the route and get the permits and such.” 11:19:01 PM 3/19/04 “Heck it might just be the very first Canandian TT trip - I think you and Gremlin are the only Canucks on the board.” 11:19:51 PM 3/19/04 “gators are interesting. i'm kidding you about the bears, they are smaller than western bears, but lots are used to people. moose are worse. they scare me” 11:20:00 PM 3/19/04 “how about a trip in MN? lol” 11:20:03 PM 3/19/04 “I forgot about the moose, ya they have a mean streak and can be dangerous during the rut especially. Some guy in Utah got attacked by a moose a week or so ago. I'd love to sit at night quietly and hear the wolves call out.” 11:21:30 PM 3/19/04 “sim, you are way to far away for a weekend trip.” 11:21:55 PM 3/19/04 “we have quite a few wolves, if you really want to hear them call, we have the nat'l wolf center.” 11:22:47 PM 3/19/04 “oh, but you expect us all to come to canada?” 11:24:02 PM 3/19/04 “Everything is a long way for me, so it doesn't really matter. I'm driving 12 hours to do a weekend on April 30 at Lost Cove North Carolina and planning on driving 14 hours for Appalacian Trail Days on May 13th. Then flying to Ohio to meet Dub for Dolly Sods. If a Nightcrawlers Trip falls together in late summer it'd be fine with me. I could fly to Toronto and party for a night in the city then spend a few days hiking and that would be my vacation week for the year. That'd be nice. I've never been to CA before.” 11:25:48 PM 3/19/04 “if, and i mean IF...you guys agree on the time, and destination, and group size(gotta check on that) then I will get permits, and do the shuttle thing.” 11:26:09 PM 3/19/04 “oh, but you expect us all to come to canada?" simer190 didn't you say on this thread that Cananda was only an hour away not so long ago?” 11:27:14 PM 3/19/04 “lol, i could probably walk there in a day... and if we do a trip in the quetico i'd be fine with that” 11:28:21 PM 3/19/04 CA? “Roam, i hate to break it to you but Canada isn't California” 11:28:52 PM 3/19/04 “For me to pull it off, it'd have to be in July - prolly towards the end of the month or maybe early August. Would that wide range of time work possibly? I'm thinkg like a three or four day trip, and allow a day on either end for travel. So say 5 days all together.” 11:29:30 PM 3/19/04 “i'm busy until august 18th” 11:30:24 PM 3/19/04 “oooooh. I'd like Quetico.” 11:30:27 PM 3/19/04 “CA? so what is the official abbreviation for the Great White North, eh?” 11:30:46 PM 3/19/04 “where the hell is Quetico?” 11:32:11 PM 3/19/04 CANADA “we're proper english up here.” 11:32:12 PM 3/19/04 “ok, so noted. LOL” 11:32:40 PM 3/19/04 Jump to Page << prev
