    Well, aren't ya'll a bunch of comediens!!!

    I took the family up there yesterday and that definitely helped me out. Once they walked the trail, they realized that they had to get their own pack weight down and thus lightened my load of what I'd have to carry.

    They were loving the trail though, and are looking forward to hiking John Rock, and meeting ya'll. (You too Hooch!) Mama Bear is bringing a big ole' batch of brownies for everyone. The kids are looking forward to meeting Thing 1, and Hedcase's son.

    I'm leaving the house today around 9am or so, and I'll see ya'll there!!

    Hangin' Burrito.............................out!

    ...causes me to recall 2 lbs of bacon cooked over a fire at Rock Jock, just below Old Conley. I think the cooks ate a disproportionate share!
