We're camping in the cold.....we should all be committed.

No requirement for the pot luck thing.....though it might be fun. Snacktime is making his fudge-filled PB cookies to pass around, and probably baggies of his GORP recipe for all....and of course a 2014 Trail Magic Bag for everyone. So I really need Kelvin to get me a head count.

Me, Kathy, and our dog are still planning to be there.
We'll arrive late Friday or early Saturday.
Does your dog eat fudge-filled peanut butter cookies?

Teach... make some homemade dog treats. I can find you a good recipe, if you need one.Originally Posted by Teacher & Snacktime
I think Snacktime would enjoy doing that....whatcha got?

Hey Teach.. gotta run to Adkins to get a freezing cold hiker off the trail...I'll get back to ya.
[QUOTE=Teacher & Snacktime;1830121]So 1azarus.....I see no cheesecake or other delectable ....what are you bringing to the party?[/QUOTE
Teach.....Overload isn't going , but her Cheesecake is! What nite is pot luck?
What do you mean "we," Kemo Sabe.
If I can come, I'll bring a bowl of berries.
The more miles, the merrier!
NH4K: 21/48; N.E.4K: 25/67; NEHH: 28/100; Northeast 4K: 27/115; AT: 124/2191
How about Saturday? Of course, knowing there's going be such nummies available there's no chance that Kevin will be able to separate the group! Just as well....we can circle the tents like Connestoga wagons and take a united stand against the cold.

Hey y'all heading out now... just had to post this story.

I know you guys won't be this unprepared on your hiking trip... so no worries!!Love you guys.. wish I could hike with ya.
Unsettling development here...we were heading to Harpers Ferry Wed to see Buddy Backpacker finish on the 9th, but there's a snow delay. It looks like there's a real possibility that we'll be driving in straight from WV to meet Kevin an Rocketsocks at Elk Pen!

I'm telling ya teacher, I think you should get "Most Valuable Section Hiker" for 2013...
you did a ton of hikin last year...awesome!
Actually it's only been 87 AT miles since we started in Sept '12....but we've TRAVELLED thousands in our AT culture immersion! (although we did log over 400 total hiking miles)
Of course, the best part is meeting and visiting the WB friends we've made....more of that on this upcoming trip! (I can't imagine anything else that would persuade me to freeze my butt in the wilds of NY!)

It's Overloads/Lou's cheese cake...it brings all the critters out of the woods.250px-Baked_cheesecake_with_raspberries_and_blueberries.jpg
good point

Myself and my girlfriend might be interested also. Depends on weather, my gear only goes to 15*. If colder than that we'll have to bail.
YUMMM!!! Her cheese cake is the BEST!
Wow.. more people are going!! Yipeee!!

There's the dog treat recipe, but there might be others you like better than that one. :>)

My gear is only good for 20*, but I've been assured that I won't be allowed to freeze...and that there will be multiple bailout opportunities. Contact Another Kevin or 1azarus.....come on down! (bring goodies)

Thanks HM.....will give it a shot!
