Two Lakes Loops in Southern Indiana

“Under The Scotsman's Kilt

A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

chorus:
Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
There was nothing there but what God gave upon his birth

They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone
But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
They took a blue silk ribbon and they tied it in a bow
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
He said, 'Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first
prize'

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He said, 'Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize'”

“pros, I love that song. Back when I used to go to celtic festivals, I used to hear that sung :)”

“This trip is turning into a "mobfest". Hope everyone who's signed up shows up!”

“If I get that day approved, if others are coming from this area we could ride share.”

“This won't be a mobfest. There is a little bit of a limit to how many tents can at the campsites. I would say that we woundn't be able to have more than 15-17 tents max.”

“Goodness...15 to 17 tents! That's all?

Nicole...I will be heading down sometime in the afternoon. I can pick u up if you want. I have room for one.”

“WK, that would be great. I was going to drive myself so we could use either car.”

“No matter to me...as long as CMB is not driving through Deam on the gravel road at 80MPH”

“You gotta admit, its so much fun :D”

“With your life passing in front of you, well...not so much.”

“depending on what time you make it to Indy, we can all meet up and ride together, if you want.”

“perhaps ride sharing would be better WK, then Mike wont be without a car all weekend.”

“I have to figure out time I want to leave work on Friday. I was thinking around 2PM, which would mean we could be heading down to Indy by 3:30 or so. We would arrive at Windy's crib by 6:30 (time change). I suspect we have another 1.5 hours then travel then which would put our arrival at the trailhead at 8 or so.

Does this work for the 3 of us?”

“It's a 2.5 hour drive from the southside of Indy. I was hoping to get down there around 7:30 EST., but can be flexible. What do you guys think? What about Capt. Jack and Crash? Will they want to ride together with us?”

“I only have room for one. I can get any of the three before we arrive at your place. I can leave at 1PM from work as well, I am easy.

I will have my Jeep, packed ready to go before i get home. I will just need to change and get the cold beverages in the car.”

“I can handle up to 6 people.”

“Party van!”

“Windi can handle six people.
What a woman!”

“Wish I could ride in the party van! Yall come by and pick me up to!”

“Hey, I can handle it. Bring it on, lol.”

“I'm taking that day off, so any time is good for me. A sixsome will be a first for me :D”

“Ok, I'm in for sure :)”

“Yeah!”

“I once had a seven-some. Kinda tight and I couldn't make the best use of my hands.”

“You don't necissarily need the use of your hands in a situation like that.”

“I once had a seven-some. Kinda tight and I couldn't make the best use of my hands.”
So what did you use???”

“There's still room for more on this trip. Come and join us!”

“I will come on Saturday and canoe in with the wife.”

“Cold beer!”

“I am so ready for this trip! I need to get out again.”

“Your ready...I have not been on a trail in 2 years. I just hope I remember how to do this hiking thing.

“remember, right foot then left foot...if you try to do it the other way around it just doesn't work”

“Looks like I'm going to be canoeing to our campsite on Saturday. So if anyone wants to bring something to go by boat, let me know. Just don't get carried away with stuff.”

“BEER!!!!!”

“Why am I not surprised! lol”

“I'm thinking about bringing a grill to sit on the rocks around the fire ring and some charcoal for cooking. What do you guys think?

“Sounds good. I will cook up some steaks and taters.

I wouls need a good sized cooler for the meat and beer then. You okay with this? I have the cooler, you will just need to paddle it across. I can certainly help with the ferry crossing.”

“As long as it fits in the canoe, that's what will matter.”

“Is a keg going to fit if WK puts a cooler in there?”

“I may just join you-haven't been to 2 Lakes and have been meaning to check it out”

“welcome Trailotter. Are you sure you want to get mixed up with this crazy group? lol”

“Just relocated to MI from AZ. Looking for some good hikes....miss the mountains.....”

“What a culture shock! Arizona desert to the lush greenery of MI/IN.”

“Can't hardly wait for this weekend!”

“I was just thinking the same!

I think I am going to leave work around 12:35 which puts me home at 1:15 or so, then I will split.

How far is it in from the parking area to Firday's campsite?”

“Looks like Nicole bailed.

“less than a 1/4 mile. I'm planning on going down to check out Friday's campsite before the trip just to be sure about it and to get gps coord, just in case someone wants them.”

“Looks like Nicole bailed.
When did that happen?”

“no walnut trees - that's why!”
