Gig: priorities still in check: beer was mentioned before hiking :D I didn't notice Conor's Guinness T-Shirt though. Pic 31 cracks me up. Not sure why.

I bought a cord of split hardwoord wood in Maine yesterday delivered for $180 (1/2 green, 1/2 dry, and a great price). Between 1/3 of it getting stolen. amd Bearly Live, I'll be out by fall. My woodsman said that he's already getting calls for split green wood. More people are supplimenting...

Meanwhile, back on the paddle forum... ;) I got out last weekend with Donna, Bigloop, and Shizzy on the Androscoggin in NH. Just flatwater (BoB "forgot" his yak :rolleyes: ), but a fun time. Headed back up next week for some trout fly fishing and yakking: 5 days, yes! If you can figure out...

That's right: Katahdin! That's right: Katahdin! ...and I didn't even stutter ;)

Hey - even I sometimes have good ideas! That is one really nice little ridge. You don't see the Whites from that direction often, and the 1/4 mile of open ledge is a blast to walk across. Glad you enjoyed it! darl: your pics are not public. You need to open the album up

D*mn - I miss ALL the fun ;)

:eek: Thank you for posting your story. Doesn't it often seem that serious events happen in the most benign locations? Happy to hear that you got out safely. Recover well!

arm, the mind is willing, but the body isn't. I'll see you tomorrow in NH. BTW, for those asking, giggy is one of Shizzy's friends ;)

And we will have MANY more - of that I'm sure. Now keep all those fingers so we can put some bass guitar blisters on them :D

Not exactly, but beers returning to base would be the frost :cool: Damn - you've all come a long ways! Get to the top and back safely! Like Townie says, it's taken us a long time to break in our bass player! Pretty cool sitting here thinking that I first met Arm and Frodo when the three of us...

Aw shucks, thx! It will be back. I am in the "shameless self promotion stage right now", but after BL'08, I'm going back! Ditto to Spencer's avatar: it fits him to a "T". Others that I rather enjoy: Bunchberry: captures her spirit so well Chomp: captures his spirit so well :rolleyes: El-bagr...

My condolences to her family and friends. People need to remember that getting away from civilization is precisely what appeals to many of us who love the outdoors. If they make it too easy to get to, we'll just find someplace else to get away. Yes, improved cell phone reception might have...

There are not enough folks on VFTT to drink giggy's share :eek: BTW, what exactly IS giggy's share? Let's see: jamming Tuesday, Bluffs practice Wednesday, Umbagog Friday-Sunday. I guess Thursday might work :rolleyes: . I'd better start packing for Umbagog NOW :cool:

Jean and Nat: yes, my favorite Kanadian Kouple (though Gail and Freddy will smack me for that one!). I'll give you the personal invitation to Bearly Live '08 on July 25-27. That, in and of itself is reason enough to return safely! Puisque je peux parler français, et le lire, j'obtiens...

As Americans (yes, you Kanadians aren't getting off easy on this one ;) ) we are guilty of being the most conspicuous consumers this earth has ever seen. Yes, we have to change. Individually having a "holier than thou" attitude is probably the worst thing that we can do. Why? Are you just trying...

Just heard this on in Jaunary from the Ranger at Cumberland Island, GA. A few months prior a group were on the Island and one know-it-all kept saying he was a "Horse Whisperer" and could get close to the wild horses there. He proceeded to get down on all fours and slowly move toward a stallion...

Only thing i cna think of that "might" get you out is a 4 wheeler with a good power winch. Hook teh a** end to a tree, and winch 'er out. Repeat. You'll winch it 20 times or more before you get out. The longer it sits there, the softer the road will get. Your best bet: before sunrise. I once...

We call them Head Hunters for a reason :rolleyes: Only been to Owl's head twice, but it 's a real nice walk in the woods. Looks like the slide was a bit interesting :) Nicely done: must have been tough conditions!

Well, Sherpa come lately offering his congrats to Lei! It's humbling to be in such company as she and many others here. I've learned a lot from all of you!

Can't do Wednesdays: Bluffs practice. I need to paddle...
