    Welcome to the forum Hickery!

    It was great meeting you at the Gorge. Thanks for the note on my windshield. If I hadn't run into Shug up on the trail it would have lead me right to him.

    Hey Hickery! Glad you made it here!

    That whole trip was way too short. I didn't even get around to seeing most
    of the gear. And I really don't know what took up all my time. Gotta do things
    differently next time.

    This thread seems to be in perpetual motion. That's a good thing!

    Wonder what Shug was doing in '68?

    Do you guys think this is past 'trip report' status by now?

    Maybe you should start a new 'Gorge Rat Chat' thread in the Member's forum?

    I have a reply for this, but this is a rated "G" forum. Thus, I cannot type it out.

    Perfect opportunity for adult humor, too.
    I have heard your confession I know who you blame
    If you had it all back you'd just lose it again
    Can't bank on redemption if you ain't saved
    Don't bring me your tales of temptation and loss
    Don't bring me the pieces of your shattered cross

    HEY HICKERY ... really glad to have met you down there in the big ditch the other week! Really glad to see you and Turk able to get together with Shug finally. If you can ... Ken, Glen and I would be tickled to death to spend some more time in the gorge with you! We won't even make you do trail work!

    I like it ... not a bad idea from a disgruntled passerine ....

    ... you'll have to forgive me ... thought you needed a "formal" name!
