Northern Midwest Hiking-Centric GGG @ Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

[Stephen M]

Sounds good to me Señor funk.

I would be expecting to get there about 1pm but as I am taking the day off work anyway am tempted to go Thursday as could be there at 8pm. It will have to see.

[Travis Leanna]

Stephen,
If you decide to leave Thursday night, we could meet you early Friday for breakfast. Just a thought.

[Stephen M]

That would be cool Travis,

[Jim Colten]

The decision's been made for me … grand grandson's first birthday celebration will be on the 24th. Wouldn't miss that even if I could get away with it.

Enjoy the trip, I'll look forward to a report.

[Travis Leanna]

Ok, Jim, have some cake for me!

Hopefully next time…maybe a Porcupine Mt. trip?

[Travis Leanna]

Stephen,
Are we pretty much waiting to see what the weather does to find out if your better half will be coming along?

[Stephen M]

Thats it Travis, she did make a comment the other day she may enjoy having the house to herself.

[Stephen M]

Love the new Avatar Trav :-)

[Travis Leanna]

Ha! Thanks Stephen.

[Stephen M]

That would make a deadly Tshirt, another one could be "no I don't bloody Facebook"

[Stuart .]

"Bloody" being the operative word, if I remember most scenes that Samuel Jackson appeared in. Great backstory on how the film came about, and who fought who for parts here: http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2013/01/pulp-fiction-oral-history-quentin-tarantino

[Travis Leanna]

Actually Stephen, it is a graphic of a T shirt you can buy!

[Stephen M]

Pulp fiction has to be one of my all time favourites.

Bring out the UL gimp ;-)

[Travis Leanna]

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe…

[Stephen M]

Whose motorcycle is this?
It's a chopper, baby.
Whose chopper is this?
It's Zed's.
Who's Zed
Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

[Stephen M]

Travis,

The Mrs will come along if its not too cold and we are setting up a base camp.

[Travis Leanna]

Cool. Do you want to hike in to a neat, scenic spot?

Was going to pass on bringing a few good brews, but if we're base camping, I may still do that.

Any idea when you're arriving?

Assuming the weather is "bad" but not dangerously so, are you still game?

[Stephen M]

Hiking in to a scenic spot suits me fine mate as would carrying in some decent booze.

I say we would aim to get there for lunch time on the Friday afternoon as trying to find somewhere for a sneaky camp on the Thursday might be a pain in the proverbial, and don't want some red neck whispering sweet nothing in my ear at 3am.

I may turn back if I pass Noah's Ark on the the motorway but otherwise count me in :-)

[Travis Leanna]

Sounds like we got ourselves a plan!

Are you and your lovely both meat eaters? I'd love to grill out once.

[Stephen M]

We have been known to eat the odd half pig or cow :-)

[Travis Leanna]

Looks like the UP is getting another dumping of snow. It's been an active late winter!

I still prefer it to be decisively below freezing at this point. Less sloppy.

[Stephen M]

Nice one, its supposed to get colder next week but I think the long range forecast is a magic show.

[Jim Colten]

… still lurking here due to jealousy:-)

I'm a bit color blind … is HOHRSC saying the snowpack is 40-50 inches deep up there?

[Stephen M]

Thats about right Jim :-)

[Travis Leanna]

And in the Hurons, they're looking at 50-75 inches. But nobody is allowed there because the rich people own all that land.
