I was hoping Lone Wolf was going to go to Springer Mt for New Years Eve, but he is on call for the ambulance.

So I am hoping that someone here is coming this way to go there for the event and is willing to swing in here and pick me up and then bring me back home?

I will pitch in on gas.

I feel okay.

I would just like to make it there at least one time before I pass from here.

I understand the sentiment. I dream of climbing Katahdin one more time. I had hoped it would happen last summer, but complications emerged.

Anyway, my advice TOW is to go for it. If it weren't quite so far, I'd drive down and take you to the mountain. My very sincere best wishes for many remaining years of good health.

I've long since lost count. But I would like one more ascent. I probably couldn't responsibly do the Hunt Trail again. But an overnight to Chimney Pond, then a climb to the top, followed by another night at Chimney is my dream weekend hike at the moment.

I won't be there on NYE but I'll be there on the 3rd when the real hardcore party is being held.

Leave me a beer under the pallet. The pallet that looks like a disassembled privy lowered by helicopter onto the site.

DWM... you picking up the " Bar Tab " for this event too ? <G>Oh, yeah, no problem. Just leave the tab under the pallet too.

After the party on the 3rd I'll make sure it's put to good use.

Well I cannot go. I had another little spell this morning and I am having trouble with my blood sugar dropping so I don't think it's best that I jeapordize anyone's fun with me becoming ill up on Springer.

I just need to stay put and besides I have to go to the doc on NYE.

Sorry you won't get to make it, but taking care of yourself is more important right now.

I can sure relate since my husband has similar problems. He has been having chest pains and keeps taking nitro. The good news is that it works, the bad news is that it works... Anyway, he'll see his heart doctor again tomorrow. We had hoped to take a few days headed to San Antonio, but it will wait.
