Hocking Hills Hysteria '09

“i will meet you guys at golf's house at whatever time is designated. i also prefer sooner than later”

“The earliest I can leave Indy is 1pm. If you guys want to go earlier, go ahead and I can meet you there.”

“Crash / Windi - So it is said, so it is done. Crash, just let me know when you think you'll be at my home... then we can coordinate. Again, I'm good to go just about anytime in late AM. Windi, we'll have the fire going when you arrive.”

“I don't think I'm gonna haul the camper down so I'll be tentin' it up with y'all. Was 70F here today in Columbus.”

“tell me when to be there, and i'll be there”

“how far is it from the cars to the campsite? or are we (shudder) car-camping?”

“Bout thirty feet.”

“I'm sleeping in the bed of my truck...”

“Crash: Okay, please meet me at my home around noon -12:30. We'll head out directly,stop in Dayton, pick up JerBear, then on to HH. That's the plan at this time.”

“Crash: Okay, please meet me at my home around noon -12:30. We'll head out directly,stop in Dayton, pick up JerBear, then on to HH. That's the plan at this time.”

“SWEET! Jerbear's going to be there!!”

“I will be awaitin!”

“golfy, send me directions”

“Crash: give me your email address, so I can send you some driving instructions. No need to do it on this post.”

“Oh, golfhiker's going? I'm out.”

“Joking...”

“my email is in my profile”

“Nigal: I'm stunned & hurt.

But since you're not going now, it should be a better weekend.”

“Crash: I'll get you directions shortly..

“see, you made him hiccup”

“Crash- I sent you an email.. let me know if you don't receive it.

Rick”

“Crash- say, what does Permanent Fatal Error mean when an email comes back...

For gods sake man, just tell me your current email address.”

“Nigal: You don't miss a beat. I'll just keep settin em up, and you knock em down.”

“How much snow is expected on the 20th?”

“SNOW? We don't need no stinking snow.”

“It's 79F today in Columbus...I doubt it will snow again, but hey, it's Ohio, anything is possible.”

“Is it the 20th yet??

And there better not be any snow!!

I want some 70's and sunshine! :-)”

“If it snows I'm not going.”

“40F today! Who knows what it could be for the weekend of the trip!”

“Alright, I announced at tonights meeting that I am ditching Girl Scouts next week. Abby and I will be leaving early Friday morning and should be there around lunch time or a bit later. I've had it with those Brownies.
Dogsitter is all set and we are as good as there!”

“My son might join me on this trip. It depends on how cold it gets at night. He doesn't have gear for very cold.”

“i would think a 3 season tent and a 20 or 30 degree bag would be adequate

i have a 4 season tent he can use if he doesnt have a warm enough sleeping bag”

“Hey Windi, I have a 20 degree bag that he can borrow if that helps”

“I'll let him know and see what he says. Thanks!

“Looks great! I'll have to toss a blanket on top of the kid though, her bag is a 35°.
I'm really looking forward to this.”

“OK gang. I have Group Site #2 reserved for 3/20-3-22. Check in after 3pm on Friday and we have to be out by 1pm Sunday. The site holds up to 20 people and there is parking for 10 cars but we can stash a few in another place if needed.”

“Hm. I guess I don't have to leave quite so early. =)”

“There's a slight possibility that UP is getting the site for Thursday night too so if anyone rolls in early they can throw up their tent. Why they ate their tent in the first place is beyond me. LOL!

Also, the site is pet friendly so feel free to bring your dog(s). Even Dub's little foofy dog. I'm also trying to talk my buddy Mike into bringing his guitar so if anyone else wants to bring their bongos or whatever for a jam that'd be great.”

“I am watching an 11 year old for the week so I will probably come down Friday after work, hike with you guys Sat and head back home Sat night around 9pm or so.”

“I will be bringing about 3 pounds of pulled pork for anyone who would like to give it a try. My husband needed something to cook on his new smoker/grill.”

“Ok here's the deal ppl...if enough ppl were planning on being there before 3pm I'll try and get the site Thurs night also...otherwise I'll just go get it as early as I can con them into giving to me on Fri.

And I suppose Windi, if you're gonna twist my arm! :)”

“Oh hell yeah. I'll have Abby bring her recorder and she can thrill you all with her rendition of "Hot Cross Buns". ;)

Wait...that would mean a 4 hour car ride with the recorder. Forget it!!”

“My husband has offered to make some of his homemade Mac and Cheese. What do ya think?”

“I think it sounds wonderful!”

“That mac n cheese is the bomb.”

“Mac and cheese and pulled pork? Sounds great but I gotta be a good boy. :(”

“I'll eat your portion.”

“Sounds good! Add a pineapple upside down cake to the mix.

Do I see a potluck in the making?”
