Hey you from that out-of-control-thread move over here and plan a trip

You all want to come up to Jasper? I will show you around.

I wish I could!

Invitation stands, Kat.

Just don't bring that Ken fella….

Thanks.
Yeah, last time Ken wanted come along and snuck into my Ohm the stitching loosened up and I emailed Üla to retur…….oops, there we go.

Hi Kat,

Since moving to US from Europe last year I have been lucky enough to go on 7 trips with other Bpl members, each trip was great.

I am on call for work for the next 2 weeks so stuck at home :-(

David, Jasper's on my list. And it's only a few hours from here—-

Can't go on any trips until after the Gettysburg 150th anniversary. Thanks to my dog's illness and passing, I am way, way behind on sewing my Civil War period clothes. If all goes well, the Granny will be Hiking around the Gettysburg battlefield the last few days of June wearing a long dress, sunbonnet, petticoats and a corset. If it doesn't, she may be wearing dress fabric pinned around her, but still the corset. There are close to 20 miles of hiking trails in the Gettysburg National Military Park. The reenactments are not on the battlefield but on nearby farms (the NPS doesn't want people tearing up the actual battlefield which is, after all, hallowed ground), but I'll get plenty of walking there, too. If I weren't a history nut and my eldest son weren't one of these reenactor nuts, I would right now be out checking snow melt levels in the Cascades!

I will be back July 9 and will start planning backpacking trips (in 21st century clothes) then.

At least being tied to the sewing machine is better than that out-of-control thread! Although I noticed they got as far as mint juleps. Unfortunately Kentucky Derby weekend was several weeks ago.

I'm hoping we have another Trinity Alps fall trip.

>stitching loosened up and I emailed Üla to retur…….oops, there we go.

LOL!

I'd come hang with y'all. But I'm far away.

And I always wanted to lash out at Stephen's posts until I met him. Then I just felt sorry for the poor bas**rd and left him alone. ;)

Aw shucks Trav, I have stopped feeling sorry for myself after I met you :-)

I'm not paying for shipping.

Ken, I'll reimburse you for half as soon as I'm shipped home.

Trips Planned:

Mineral King Loop 55 miles 6/13-16

Emigrant/Hoover Wilderness/PCT Loop 125 miles 8/9-18

Trinity Alps in Fall w/snap judgement

Any friends have interest please PM me, the 125 mile trip is a easy permit and no bear canister.

I have loads of trips planned, just need to get off my ass and organise them.

I have my hands full finishing up the AT over the next year. Next stop, finish up Vermont then move over to NH. I still need to make a noseeem inner and a cuben outer. I'm fearful that I will will holes in the netting when I sew it. Sounds like even the pros have it happen. :) would love to get back out west again this year. Montana made me realize how much I missed the western hiking.

Fall trip in the Trinity Alps is for certain.

That over $4 a gallon is crimping my style at 18mpg. Carpool once I get to the Bay Area at least.

Need to get a commuter car.

Anyone take the ferry from Tiberon?

I wouldn't mind high gas costs so much if I didn't have to drive 4 hours to get anywhere.

Why take the ferry?

I live 10 hours from the nearest mountains, it works out cheaper (and quicker) to fly out to Colorado.

So we need more trip ideas.

Already mid 90's in the Alps. Yikes!

King Range is back open. Still no sign of Shane Miller. Was too windy for us this weekend. Came back home.

Funny. When we lived in San Diego county we also went camping primarily outside the prime hiking season. Too hot, too crowded.

I wish I could go on Jay's trip. Paid time off and finances, the honey-do list, etc.. Ugh.

Most definitley need more trips, I am only 2 weeks back from Scotland and already getting cabin fever.

I need to get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mid 90's sounds harsh.
Anyone interested in a Trinity Alps trip in a few weeks?

I'm heading up to Emigrant this weekend with a couple other people.

Hey you Midwesterners…Jordan River in northern lower peninsula the weekend of June 14-16. Anyone care to join us??

Hi Jen,

I would love to come along but on call for work.

I am free again from the end of June.
