I summited 9/10 (Wiz Kid) with Fidget, Carpenter, Double Zip, Tarzan, Iron Man, Team Bad Wizard (Dont Panic and Wing It), Miles, Wendy, and an older gentleman whos name escapes me. Tin Man, Gaspar (i think was his name), and Shorty along with about 10 others summited 9/9/09. Watchman summited early August. General summited mid August. I think Steamboat was early to mid august too IIRC.
If Spirit Fingers would hurry up and finish, the whole march Kincora/Damascus crew will have finished (me, panama red, spirit fingers, wally, pacman, chert, grizzly adams, steamboat, splinter, endor, jolly rancher, incognito) Woot Woot! Go February Starters (minus Incognito the first March speedster to catch us). Breaking the 'early starters quit' stigma with much style and gusto!
Anybody heard of how O.M. River, Garage Man and Pound Hound are doing?
-Wiz Kid
Heck, Wiz Kid, you made it. We were beginning to think your last 'break' had gotten a little too permanent.
:Congrats!:
-Primitive.
Thanks primitive. I took my time for sure, but I was antsy to get back on the whole time. When is Threshold planning on finishing?
Her target date is Nov. 1st. Last time I heard from her was a few days ago, but she ought to be somewhere south of Daleville, VA.
:Cheers.:
Hope you don't mind, I hiked Mt Moriah for NH's Flags on 48 this weekend and bumped into two NoBo, jabberwocky(a young lady in case there is more than one) and I failed to ask his name but guy who hails from NY state. both were in good spirits. just thought I would post incase family checks in here to see how they are doing.
Wow Wizz you sure took some seriously long breaks. Congrats on finishing.
Steamboat, Loudskeaker, The Kid, Spaceman, Highlander, Happy and Hi-C summited Aug 15th. Anyone heard from Brown Chicken, Brown Cow, Motor, Freeze, David from Scotland, Mud, or Giddyup?
they were all planning on being part of the 9/9/09 crew.
Anyways I summited on 9/5 with Rocket, Daddy Long Legs, Egg, Union Break, Ducky, and Feedbag.
