    That's a nice wake-up. Thanks for the good vids. AWESOME.

    More whitemeat than Col. Sanders.
    And let Ewker know where you hid his tent.

    Thanks for the morning video Shug. You, Hickery and The Turk made some great memories that week. Hope you guys can have more reunions like that.

    Cheap tents should be outlawed. If they all cost $1000.00 the slobs wouldn't abandon them. If you can let me know approximately where that one is, Jim and I'll dispose of it this fall on our Conley Cleanup day.

    I'm really glad you guys hooked up with Cooldays and EagleJ. We felt bad after turning them around, only to have the group come in behind us. I'm sure they had a fun night with you guys.

    Thanks again for the videos.

    Good wake up vid, Shug. Yeah that storm was great!! I was lovin' it up there on Shortoff!
    Hope to see ya' again this Fall, & hopefully we'll get a chance to sit 'round about the fire again.

    Well sire ... O'Shug of the video has done it again. Great start to the morning. That Hickery is my kinda Gorge Rat. Pistol packing, morning farting lover of all LG!

    And what a testiment to the Crow's Nest! The nylon and stitches held through the "foul winds" of the morning!

    Thanks for continuing to share.

    Ahhh... great stuff Shug!!! Thanks much!
    And good pictures Hickery! I like the "feet dangling off the cliff" one, but what would you have done if you'd dropped your water bottle & Stormcrow wasn't there to scramble down to get it for you?
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    Hey shug, what did the two of you use for water filration on that long of a trip? Did you guys just collect and boil or did you chemical filter or use an AquaSimple or some such?
    We used a gravity filter........ Hickery had a brand new one......

    It's a shame you can't put it all up on YT. Perhaps a vid from the cutting room floor for a finale?
    It has been fun!!!! I will do a conclusion with the wrap-up at Hickery's farm.

    We hid the tent .... so he will never find it!
    Hickery stares lighting in the eye and spits!!!!

    They are still so fresh in my mind!!!!!!!
    We stashed it behind a log going south down the trail from Conely Camp where we camped with the HF group in the Fall.
    If I remember ... it is right before the spot where the trail crosses across the big rocks where me and Hickery went swimming.

    Glad you found it enthralling as well .... potted meat in a storm would be delightful.....

    Hickery can let go in a "high C" ... sometimes a minor key!!!!

    Wow another great Shug video! I had to wait all day to watch it. I saw it on the forum first thing this mourning. But the dang firewall at work blocks us from watching any video. But it was worth the wait. The all day anticipation made it all the sweeter to watch when I got home.
