At least 10 times after all it's Indiana. lol”

“Watch out for tornados....they happen in the off season too!”

“You can hear them here:

“Got any pics of he suicide peepers???”

“They sure seemed to like that fire, didn't they?”

“Just logged in and saw how big this trip is. Wish I could go. Fifthmaster, my husband, said he should go since I can't. I told him he'd have to hike in, then he changed his mind.

Yall have fun!!!”

“HAHA! Stomper can't go :P!!”

“Stomper, tell fifthmaster that the hike in on Friday night isn't too bad, He could handle that.
You're going to miss a really good hike. Boo tax season.”

“I like big peepers......”

“On the map it looks like the loop follows Tower Ridge Road back to the parking lot. Is this the plan? Thanks, Steve”

“The trail parallels the road, it's not actually ON the road.”

“Sunday's hike will be on this trail.”

“Kinda disappointed that the evenings temps are high. I really wanted to use my new 0 bag, except it looks like it will be to warm.

Both days, as of today look nearly perfect.”

“definitely hoping the temps will stay below freezing. I don't want anything to do with a 35 degree rain.”

“I was hoping for cold weather too.

I just bought a new down jacket.”

“The chance of rain/snow is only on Friday during the day as of now. Saturday is supposed to be sunny”

“YAY! mud :(”

“Yep, gaiters and seam seal”

“I was hoping for cold weather too.

I just bought a new down jacket.”

What did you buy?”

“I don't have gaiters. I'll just say I'm ultra light that way. Actually I'm wearing my massive hunting boots, because I can't wear trail runners yet with my ankle. Today is the first day I've worn dress shoes in a month! It's let me know about it once in a while too. I was hoping to start running next week... I guess we'll see about that.”

“I thought this was steal:

I found in a discussion on the dark side.

There was one from Cabelas, but this was cheaper.”

“Ah the puffy jacket. These are very popular.”

“Hopefully the 40 degre temp drop tonight will freeze everything for the weekend. If it is like today the rest of the week, it is going to be a slop fest.”

“I'm out. Bad foot! ;-(”

“Hey you can't use that excuse. Thats mine!”

“I don't think I will be making it Friday night now, gotta work late. I will be there in the morning.

I have the call time to meet Saturday at 9am at the secind lot. This is actually an hour ahead for me so I may be struggling to make it so if I am not there by 9 and everyone else is, start without me. I will catch up with you guys.

“TT rule #1-- At least half will no show...”

“That's not always true”

“Yeah, but CMB has to make a showing :P then everyone comes and the trip becomes a monster LOL”

“Hey WK,

How about changing the start time to 10am? I'd really like to sleep in another hour. :-)”

“How about changing the start time to 10am? I'd really like to sleep in another hour. :-)”
Me too!”

“Okay, the trip page has been fixed to show the new start time of 10AM. I should be able to make this now as well.”

“So will you still be performing, or what ever that you had planned for Friday night?

Hey guys, I'm trying to talk Brittc into coming so y'all need to cheer her on to her first TT attandance. She seems to keep coming up with lame excuses not to come.”

“No, I am going to save this for another trip. I will be in my kilt Saturday morning so this may scare Britt off. A skinny guy exposing his chicken legs.

Hey Britt, you don't have to spend the night, you could make this into a day hike if you would like.”

“I'm trying to talk her into following me in on Friday, and going home when she is ready on Saturday.

She said something about being on anti-biotics, and smoking yadda yadda yadda.”

“I like to smoke cigars. What is she worried about smoking? You are not bringing the crack pipe or something, are you?”

“What is Sunday's hike like? How long will it take to get out of the woods?”

“lol. no worries about others smoking. more about me trying to quit!!! im recovering from a sinus infection, and was just put on amoxicillin yesterday. so ill see how im feelin :D”

“Don't do it britt, not unless you want to see someone in nothing more then a pizza box.”

“see, thats ALL the excuse i need!!! mental bleach please!!”

“I was wearing more than a pizza box... you just couldn't see it. 8P~

Besides, were YOU there to witness that? That's what I thought. Now get your ass into the woods SC!


see, thats ALL the excuse i need!!! mental bleach please!!”

WTFE! You saw the infamous pic. It wasn't like you saw the pepperoni...”

“again...L.O.L.

it really does sound like a blast, i jsut dont know about THIS weekend. im really bad at planning stuff! i promise ill think about it this evening and make up my mind. :D”

“Tell me mroe about this pepperoni.”

“is this where i use my secret powers of changing the subject without you noticing?”

“The air in the forest will heal you better than those damn drugs.

ductape--open up the link of trails and find the campsite in the middle/lower half of the cope hollow trail. From this point, we will hike clockwise and come out on Tower Ridge road. Now, if you choose, we can spot a few cars at Blackwell making Sunday very easy. If not, hike on the Grubb Ridge trail along the road back to the second parking lot.”
