Upper Fanton Camp - June 3 - ? 2011

[Sluggo]

No one else chiming in here? I not sure I like the idea of being alone with you, Hamster.

Well thanks a lot! I hope yer kidding or I'll be bummed. Don is supposed to be coming too. I also have those garden veggies we talked about last time.

[Sluggo]

If Don's coming I guess I'll go. At least I'll have a witness.

Honestly, I like Don. He's nice & mellow. And he's got a cool dog (even if you gotta hide your food from him). I couldn't find any of those particular veggies. Is it enough for all or just the little bit you've had for a while? I'll make my meatballs again. New & improved with mozzarella in the middle! My Mom got me a table like Mark's & another lantern as an early birthday present.

I'm just so dainty and sensitive, you see.
I think it will be enuff vegs. Mellow.
Don was talking about getting a bus...we've warped him. He is a good guy, and knows a lot about the forest. Yeah Murphy is a sneaky bastard. You shoulda seen him as a pup.

Sluggo you meeting me at the camp on Friday? Stay on 4614/Squaw/Tumala whatever the hell & you'll be OK. It's been a crazy day but I'm about packed enuff. Crosscut fits exactly widthwise in the bus @ 5 ft. Groceries in the morning, I'm beat.
Gonna be gorgeous weather!!!!! First warm spell of the year. Any of you slackers get a wild hair come join us but I'll consider it unlikely.

Great trip!!! Sluggo post some pix. Crosscut sliced like butter during it's maiden run. 100 old abandoned logging rr with huge trees growing thru the middle. Mud. Newts. Roaring River fat as hell and not takin no guff. Good food, good beer, good guys. And of course rain the night before leaving.

I can't tell you how very, very cool it is to see that saw in it's newly restored condition doing what it was meant to do. Very well done, Mr. Hammy.
