That's when RF is picking me up as well!:D





You're pretty funny RF, made me chuckle but hard!:lol::lol::lol: I can't believe how fast this hang came!:eek::lol:
Well this'll be the final...

Yeah, I'm going to try to get some sleep. Fortunatly, I've got my "home" set-up out on the deck, so I'll be hangin' already!:D

See ya'll tomorrow!:thumbup:

No posts in 2 & 1/2 hours? I wonder if they left me?:confused::scared:

I gotta put a plug in here for the Potted meat!(...perhaps I coulda' worded that better!:lol::lol::lol:





Yeah, no doubt! Stormcrow, are you out there?:confused:

On another note, it looks...

Cool, I'll definitely be looking forward to that!;)



I'll predict a 6:00pm, 1000 post time.:laugh:;)



Check out RF's gallery, I think he's got it on his. He did all the editing.

Thanks! She proved trail worthy this morning. We were hiking along and all of a sudden we heard a crashing through the woods and I guess it was a couple of deer.
Well, she looked like she wanted to...

Doh!!! I wouldn't have it any other way!:lol::lol:



Keep your mind on that peaceful Gorge, my friend, we'll see ya' there!!!:D



Well, gotta big in-law & their friends doing, going on...

Ya'll are makin' me feel bad for the jerky accident. O.K. I'm better now!:lol::lol:

Just got back from a little try out hike up in the back 40. Picked up a great pack at the Goodwill store...

:(:crying



So ya'll don't want me to bring it?:eek::lol::lol: I'm still plenty upset about it, but I guess that's how it goes.:(:crying:crying:crying



I thought I was the only one...

Well.......Here's the story. I got the deer tenderloins from my father-in-law, took and cut 'em into strips, marinated 'em, and for the last 2 days I've had them just slowly dehydrateing. Well, I...

I think they call those "puppy treats" now!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

I hear ya'! I try not to look at the clock and figure out how many more hours it is until RF comes to pick me up!:laugh::rolleyes:



No need for a menu, the Strawberry Rhubarb pie is all you'll...

That's just the doctor in him, usually I just say... yup!:lol::lol::lol:

Absolutely!!! That's why I'm ordering the whole pie!:boggle::eek::lol::lol:

She's actually got connections in the CIA and access to their satellites!:lol::lol::eek:



I've got 10+ pds. that I'm gonna dehydrate today, so I think I'll have more than enough for everyone....

Amen to that!!;)



Ain't it cool??!!!! I love hearing it coming when I'm in the hammock!:D

Day 2, after our toes have been "riding in the front of the bus" all day going down, I'm thinking we'll appreciate the cold water of the river.;):D

Wow! Good story Hawk-eye! Thanks for sharing, I needed that after the day I've had!;):D
6 DAYS left 'til I see that beautiful gorge, man I can't wait!

Half the fun is all the banter that goes on...

I know what you mean, my woodburning stove has tried a number of times to jump in!:lol::lol::lol:

Just wondering, my fuel, food, (2) liters of water, and electrolite bottle full, weighs in at...

Blackmail???.........Hmmmmmmmmm.....:eek::eek:

Yes, we are the "Enlightened Ones". However there's always the hope that our influence will make "Newbies"!;):laugh:

Rain or shine, it's gonna be great. Of course I would prefer it to be sunny & warm but, it's the Gorge and good friends, so it matters not to me.

26 pounds for 6 days!!!! That's pretty darn...

I've always been psychotic!:scared::lol::lol:

I have, I just didn't know that was what it was called!!:laugh::rolleyes:

Well DUH...HB!:rolleyes: ( I'm kinda running slow this morning!):laugh:

What is "unobtanium"????

Just weighed my pack......27#s, with food and 2 liters of water. I will be shaving ounces until I get to 25#s.
Still have to take the labels off everything and cut my toothbrush handle off. I...

I think I'm turning green with envy!:boggle::boggle::boggle:

He will be, by the end of the weekend!;):D

Water sources will be flowing!!!:D

It's not "old crap" it's "traditional gear"!:lol::lol::lol:

It'll be good to see ya' agin', Ken!;)

Man, this is exciting!! RF & I've got new set-ups as well, which makes the anticipation for this trip even greater!!:D ........and yes, Duct tape does rule!:laugh:

Yeah, I'm psyched to hike too Jerry. I'm definitely interested in going up to Tablerock as we get there. I'm planning on taking LOTS of pictures on this trip. I didn't last time and I regretted it....

You'll be surprised at how easy it is. Will it be black also? Looking forward to seeing it in the Gorge!:thumbup1:

Always!!! Gotta have it HOT!:D

[QUOTE=Hawk-eye;249321]New tarp ... now smaller than I started it.

That's what happened to me too! I started with 9'6", and due to a technical problem I took it down to 8' X 8'. I still have 11'...

Well....rain or shine, we're gonna be free for a weekend and IN THE GORGE!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
( ...besides, I'm itching to try out the new poncho/weathershield. Let it rain for awhile!)

I never worry about bears or cooking under my tarp, I simply put any waste/scraps, by or under Running Feather's rig!!:scared::lol::lol:

Looking forward to seeing ya' agin, Hedcase!



That's pretty funny!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::laugh:

Grunts & nods ...yes, "too much salt's not good for you!":lol::lol::lol:

Well...in all honesty, her and I get along pretty well, as long as we don't talk politics, religion, weather, raising my children, public schools, maintenance on the house, and my...

For you Hawk-eye....definitely!!!:D



She marinates it, than slices it and puts it on the dehydrator for about 12-14 hours. Perfect! We're gonna try some different flavors...Black Pepper,...

I'm right there with ya'll! Just finished the poncho/weathershield/pack cover!:thumbup: All that's left is to seam seal it and it's good to go!
10 ozs.TOTAL!!!

I'm gonna see if I can coax the...

Hawk-eye, how'd you get a picture of my brother? :eek::lol::lol::lol: No really??!!!

Uummmmmmm...... my mouth is watering, as we speak!:eek::lol::lol:

Yeah but......those Gorge Rats stink!!!:lol::lol::lol:

I got ya' covered with the nasty good eats, Shug. The "Condiment King" is stocking up!:D
(....probably should'nt use the term "covered" in this post!):scared::lol::lol:

Either way, I hope you can make it. :)

This is one of the things I like best about these hangs, the pre-trip posts. Everyone starts filling up the thread, and the excitement grows!:thumbup1:

Well, just got back from a good time at Hot Springs. Running Feather, Capitol Bill, Acercanto, & I did a little "training" for Linville on the Round Top Ridge trail to the AT to Tanyard Gap then down...
