YEAH...WHAT HE SAD!

drink responsibly?

That's right! It is our responsibility to drink.

There is lots of Food....so does that mean we dont have to bring any? lol. Tell me what to bring.

This is woodstock camping 1/2 mile from town. There are restaurants in town and food venders at the street fair. I don't think anyone sales food at the campground. Wildbill and I always bring a couple bushels of oysters, some shrimp, and a couple hundred clams that we cook and put out for anyone in the group that wants it. we usually cook sporadically whenever the mood strikes us. It can be continuous flow or it might be hours in between while we visit the town. We take monetary contributions if you want to help out, but its not a requirement so you can eat as much of that as you wish. We usually have some snow crab legs for his wife, but we keep that on the down low :).

Other people cook other stuff too, but I can't speak for them about there sharing policy. In the past Fridge and Calm have brought sausage biscuits to us in the morning. Nice folks those two.

There's not much chance of going hungry at trail days. Some people eat in town the whole time, others cook like they are on the trail, some do both. Whatever floats your boat.

snow crab? *pulls out wallet and bottles of JW gold label*

COol Beans. I thought it was like a big pot luck thing and I needed to figure out what I was bringing.

There is no scheduled time for eats. Its a free for all.

Me and Govmentmule will cook some pig butts again!

I will bring some Conecuh sausage....THE best sausage ever.....from Conecuh Alabama!!! hugs!!!!

Div, thats right near HOME for me. i'll have to see what special i will bring

And later, Dub and I will give the basting sauce to some poor sap to drink just before we pimp him out to hyway.

sometimes ya'll are so scarey!!!!!

hey last time they did that some one took spams pack .

gojo here - lol!

I put in an order for 24 somethin somethins yesterday. I figured what with all you fine folks bringing all that fine food, I would bring a surprise gift for the first couple dozen East Coast Trekkers I encounter. Be excited - be very excited!

In looking at the calendar, it dawned on me that my son's graduation is the night of the 16th..halfway between Nashville and Memphis. It doesn't start until 8PM. I doubt I will try to cover all that distance to make Trail Days.

Those poor little piggies!

Looking forward to this trip!!!!!!

Anybody interested in an overnighter on the AT after Trail Daze? I am thinking about hiking north starting at Fox Creek to Sugar Grove, a distance of about 23 miles. Start on Sunday, end Monday.

I doubt I will be going this yr. My daughters 2nd child is due that weekend.

Hey Creek Dancer,

Im intersted in that section, but I don't think I can take off work for it.

Hey Ewker, sorry to hear you wont be at Trail DAze ;(. Hope all goes well with the birth of your new grand babe.

who the heck is ewker

It is with a heavy heart that I even consider missing this party.

I can not get off Sunday, May 18 and having to bail out Saturday evening and drive 450 miles home after a short weekend is not a pleasant thought.

That is right in the midst of our round-the-clock-for-finals for about ten days and nobody is goin' nowhere.

The cost of gazoline is makin' this kinda 800+ mile round trip might pricey as well.

Perhaps I can carpool on down to Mount Rogers or someplace for Memorial Day weekend with some of The Yankees.

Yippee Kai-Yay, mutherpussbucket!!

whew, at least there is SOME good news today ;)

LOL. Hyway, play nice.

Ewker is...well he is Ewker. Don't tell me you havent met him?

I know who ewker is. I knew him when he was still miserable.

ahhh I c. I met him when he was happy....ier.....

ok so now do we know who alls going now ??? lots of people are dropping out of this trip???? I'm going still. will be there thursday. after 4 pm
Bye JB

My son's graduation is the Friday night of trail days. I am doubtful. While I am in the other side of TN, I might as well go to Arkansas and get the rest of my belongings.

The other side?

I am still planning on going. I will be there Friday morning, or Thursday night if anyone else will be there.

the other side

Is that TT tenn, Latta Tenn, or backpacker tenn? I am so confused

I'll be there Friday before lunch.

Flat Land Tenn

16 more days .... I'm ready for this trip. looking forward to seeing every one again. see you at traildays
jb

I think NGB is going to drive up for the day on FR or SA.

dude, is that a definite that you won't be making it to Trail daze? bummer, you are a Trail Daze icon.

I may be coming ...i dunno yet. If i go it'll have to be friday evening after work....but gas moooolah is sooo outreagous that I might have to forgo this trip so I can go to the BEACH!

ooh the beach, that will take me about 1/2 gallon of gas to get there and back.

GRRRRR. I've not been to the beach in over six years. I want to feel the sand beneath my toes! YAY.

this trail days will not be the same without chili. well maybe not that bad without him, but it would be nice to see every one..
later jb.

I'll bring you a bucket of sand, sweetpea.

yo sweetpea......stop by Avon, NC sometime this summer then grab one of extra boards and then run like a maniac towards the ocean, dive in and we'll have some fun with the waves........then after a day of riding water, we'll dig a pit in the sand, build a fire and share a bottle of wine.....that's my typical day on the beach!

huh sounds kinda cool.....

I'm going to the OUTER BANKS YAYAYAAAAAAA. I'll prolly run around in the surf like a little kid and read a book and pass out in a hammock :) WITH TATER :)

Each time I find myself on the beach, I stoop, put my fingers in the Saltwater and then TASTE the ocean....

So far I've tasted the Atlantic, Pacific, the Med, North Sea, Sea of Marmara, Gulf of Mexico,Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean, Bearing Sea and the Arctic Ocean...

I'd be pickled in Salt if I had done all those in a short timeframe...LOL.

ST....ahoy matie....a salty dog are ya.....

so how many tters will be at trail days?????

tater and I aren't goin. we're saving muuuulah for the beach :( we will miss meein ya boneheads.

how much muuuuulah does it take to sleep in a tent?
