[The Love Doctor]

Ok, Minnie-sota and I are coming from Richmond and we are hauling along a new Pooch, 9 months old and rather fiesty, so we are trying to save space by NOT hauling along all the DOs this trip. Can we do some store bought goodies for breakfast/lunch/dinner instead? What is still needed? I have been kinda out of the loop, messing with the dog and all.

I'm interested to see how such a young pup does in the rain with a bunch of new faces. I'm sure they'll get lots of love and attention. Glad to hear you two are coming down. Home Run and Rockdawg might have other thoughts but if you are popping by the store for potluck items maybe just grabbing a bag of apples for breakfast would work? Easy to clean up, perfect in rain or shine with no heating required and extras become hiking snacks that afternoon.

Cakes,

I am bringing two of the little Ultimate Hang cards. I will also print a few copies of the larger image, since Derek gave his permission.

We have had a good time in the past, even with some rain. The hike over to Thomas Knob on Sunday evening is iffy, though, if we plan on stargazing.

Going to miss them coblers Corey. I am not bringing no frozen dairy treats. I will find it difficult to keep them frozen for that length of time.

Yeah, I feel bad about not doing anything big man but, with a new dog who is a little furry dynamo and chewy as all get out, I just reckon I had better err on the side of caution.
I am planning on doing some cobblers, baked beans, and corn pudding at Hunger Hang. I will also be doing ribs at Prince William.

Good thought. I'll see what I can do. Plus we can roast them over the fire in aluminum foil with butter and cinnamon sugar. Mmmmm

Everybody enjoy themselves this weekend at Grayson.
Wish I could be there but I have other family commitments. Looking forward to seeing the trip report and photos.

Apples are great!
Frozen stuff... they sell ice cream at the country store were we park at the group site.

Thanks for bringing the new group tarp Hickery!
Should we call it Son Of Big Blue, New Blue.... ???

Hope to see you there next time Tall Paul. And we'll miss those not able to make it.

Just right click on that image, copy then paste it to MS Word. I just did it and it fits on one printed page but my printer resolution is not great. Hope that helps.

Got it. I printed about 10 before the ink started running out.

I also found a bunch of the HF business cards with Derek's illustration on the back. Got more than enough.
Also some HF stickers to give away.

I'll be bringing the two foam board posters that RockDawg had made for the Hammock Demo & the HF banner as well.
Maybe by next year we can make a large foam board poster of Derek's illustration as well.

Don't forget your chairs & rain gear.
Even if I'm wearing my rain jacket I like to use an umbrella around camp for the unrestricted view & ventilation.

That sounds like a good idea slowhike to bring an umbrella mite have to bring mine! Looking like a good chance of that liquid stuff!
