Thank you to Hoop Time who has committed to donating a soup for the Saturday Evening meal and Cookie Monster's cookies.
Saturday evening's meal will be a light one because the Big a$$ Billville Breakfast and the Pig Roast are the same day.
Mary (or one of her soux chefs!)will be making one soup - Peanut Butter Soup. Looking for 2 more donations of soups.

[trailangelmary]

Thank you to Walkin Home for his generous cash donation.

proximity to a thing determins its indeterminence. tank. tank? are you listening tank? oh...i forgot.....he only listens. well, the closer you get to a thing the less determinate its position becoms. but what is position but the infinite. and as their is no finite, position is irellevent. hence non locality. only fear holds us down. gravity = SATEN x us - J3

[mweinstone]

oh duncannon duncannon
where do your hikers grow?
how oft you please us
dont you know
our dogs chew your grass
your leaves wipe our ass
and the beer is cheep

[WalkinHome]

So can I count on you once again to keep bathrooms cleaned and stocked. Will you be able to make shower behind kitchen if Can Do Will Do is not there. I'm not sure if he said at Trail Days if he will be able to come this year or not.

[trailangelmary]

Hey Matty,
will you be here early this year to do the red blazing?

[Jester2000]

I'll give CDWD a call.

[trailangelmary]

Thanks, Jester. And can you call Tricks and see when the three of us can get together soon.

[trailangelmary]

Thank you to Linda Britcher of The Pub" in Duncannon for donating the meatballs for one of the pasta sauces. Pasta and salad will be served on Friday evening as hikers arrive. Various Pastas have been purchased. Ingredients for red sauce has been purchased.

[mweinstone]

i will be arriveing unarmed. i will not be carrying my colt defender. i will have no 45 cal acp sabre ammo. no holster. no mosberg police shorty with six on the side saddle . my bandelaro with its exotic entry sabos. no. all sold to allow me to come to a hiker feed. may need someone to rent 23 so i can rent the floor for less. so lets look at what weve learned. hikers would rather risk their lives unnarmed in south phillys drug neighborhoods to go to a feed than live. and hikers like roast pig. and marys hugs are actually an important part of a healthy balenced breakfast. ask your doctor about the red blaze and see if its good for you. red blazes are permenant when washed and dryed and in rare cases may cause hemoraging of an otherwise normal lifestyle. red blazes do not require adult supervision and are safe for children of all bents.if your feeling sluggish and have exsperienced one or more of the following symptoms, ask your doctor if the red blaze is right for you:loss of interest in polotics,war,religion and phillosophy combined with an obtuse urdge to urinate in the further places.

[Panzer1]

I will also be arriving unarmed. :) Camping at the field, not staying at Doyle, but may stop by for a beer.

Stumble Wolf.

I am not yet exactly sure what my plans are. I will likely be further South right before going to Duncannon for the feed. However I will be heading back up to New York after the feed, so if you get down there I can give you a ride back to the trail. Also if my plans change and I end up coming down to the feed from New York I will let you know.

Tell the bank that instead of cups you'd like them to donate a big bag of money.

CAMPING AT THE PARK IS FREE, MATTHEWSKI. If you need space to do art you can use the stage at the park.
Stay at the park so you won't miss anything like the pick up games on Friday as hiker arrive (b-ball, volleyball, tennis and more available), the showing of movies on Friday and Saturday evening, karoake, tasting of a new product - "The Turkey Bitz" and Turkey Jerky, the traditional leki pole throw contest on Saturday, and more games that Jester, Bag 'o' tricks and I have ideas for, group pic on Saturday after the pig. All Free!

Did I say CAMPING AT PARK IS FREE!

[trailangelmary]

Thank you to the Welsh Nomad for her cash donation.

[trailangelmary]

Lisa at Sorrentos has committed to all the salad makngs for the Friday evening salad

[trailangelmary]

Three loaves of Amsih Friendship bread made: 1 with frresh strawberies and bue berries, 1 with fresh peaches, 1 with bananas

[BAG "o" TRICKS]

So does this mean your coming to the feed Matty? and yes you may display your artwork there.

[BAG "o" TRICKS]

I will be available for shuttles to the Feed beginning Wednesday afternoon 7\7, willing to go as far as Deleware Water Gap and Harper's Ferry (or thereabouts anyway) Contact me here or let Trailangel Mary know.

Just a word 'T' on shuttles for the feed as we've done them before to keep hikers from stacking the shelter(s) afterward. DWG and HF are a long drive from Duncannon. The hikers anyone should shuttle in from either location will probably need a shuttle back to where they were picked up. Might want to contact Bonzo in Harpers Ferry as he and others in that area may be coming up and willing to shuttle hikers 'to and back from that location. Sorry don't know anyone in DWG area. Anyone out there willing to shuttle 'to and back from' feed please sound off.

[BAG "o" TRICKS]

Will probably get there Friday morning the 9th. Very small chance early evening of Thursday the 8th. Thanks Mary and Tricks and Matt for all you do. See you soon.

Glad to hear you will be there brother, how's Phart and is he coming?

Did she kick you out again Panzer?;) See you up there.

[amclumberjack]

[WalkinHome]

Glad to hear you will be there brother, how's Phart and is he coming?

Old Fhart does not usually make the feed. Have not checked in with him since we got back from TD. He should be in a walking cast by now so I am sure he is easier (notice I did not say easy LOL) to live with. See you soon brother. Just came back from the MATC 75th Anniversary celebration. Good times were had by all. Heard video stories about Myron, Jean Stephenson, Louis Chorzempa from Roy Fairfield, the 3rd MATC president that took over when Avery died. The only man I know that is still with us that interacted with Myron. Good stuff. CYA

[trailangelmary]

Thank you to Jester's Mom for the generous cash donation

Hopefully 40 by Friday night and 75 by Saturday. That's how many I plan to feed. Some will be only day attendees and that's alright too. Some will stay at the Doyle and come up to the park for the food. I'm hoping unlike last year they will not just eat and go but stay for the festivities. Billville is all about fun.
Hope to be meeting with Tricks and Jester this week to finalize plans for all the activities.

[trailangelmary]

Thank you to Red Hat & JB for their generous cash donations for the feed.

[trailangelmary]

These non-perishables have been purchased: Ingredients for red pasta sauce, variety of 3 pastas, bar-b-q sauce for the bacon explosion, canned milk, ingredients for baked beans, chicken broth for a variety of dishes, majority of ingredients for Amish baked corn, Iced Tea Mix

The use of the park has been paid in the amount of $150.00.


The donation is the best nation!

[trailangelmary]

Will you be bringing any class of 2010 with you?

[Jester2000]

Panzer

Nope. Which is why we have never served alcohol in the park. Plenty of bars in town.

[amclumberjack]

Will you be bringing any class of 2010 with you?


if any need i ride i have room for 3 or 4 if they dont mind being tight in the back seat

[trailangelmary]

I am starting to tell hikers coming through Duncannon about the feed. Many are very willing to hitch a ride back.

[trailangelmary]

Hoping to meet with our mayor, Jester and Bag 'o' Tricks within 5 days
hoping to have bacon explosions prepped within the next 5 days
13 days until major prep cooking begins
14 days till I receive keys to park
17 days till everything is taken to park
18 days till feed & festivities begin

[trailangelmary]

I have decided to start some food prep earlier than July 5 to make my schedule easier. 6 Bacon explosions will be made and frozen this week. Then will get out to thaw in frig the week of the feed.

[Panzer1]

what all is in the Bacon Explosion??

Panzer

[trailangelmary]

what all is in the Bacon Explosion??

Panzer

It starts by weaving a pound of wide cut bacon so you have a solid square of bacon; season the bacon with a bbq rub; spread 2 lbs of sausage on the bacon; reseason; put one lb. of cooked bacon on top of that; roll the sausage up expelling all air; roll the bacon weave around the log of sausage; smoke it; pour bbq sauce on after done.

WOW that sounds so good

[TheTank]

The bacon explosion is the greatest food known to man.

[Jester2000]

The bacon explosion is the greatest food known to man.

. . . although sometimes it leads to the noticeably less popular "bathroom explosion."

[trailangelmary]

Thank you to the Duncannon American Legion who is allowing me to store the prepared food in their walk-in cooler the week of the feed

[trailangelmary]

Krispy Kritter was in Duncannon yesterday. He is in Phila now till Saturday and coming back to Duncannon Saturday to hike north again. He is also hiking and doing the above with two other hikers. They are wanting to get a ride to the feed from DWG and asked me to post this info here. Anyone out there coming from there?

[trailangelmary]

Getting nervous...will everything be ready and all plans complete in time???

I received word that Can Do Will Do will be in attendance

[trailangelmary]

Have all the ingredients for the bacon explosion. Beginning the process of putting it together. Start by cooking the applewood smoked bacon that will go on the inside.
I've decided I should start doing the prep cooking now or it won't be done in time. If any one wants to help and is nearby any day between now and the feed, stop by and I'll give you some chores. Balcony block and a half from the Doyle.

Naw, I dropped him off as fast as I could after TD. Mad Mike escaped first and then I gave TOF back to his wife. Hopefully I get big karma for tending to him over that week LOL. It did not seem to affect his ability to speak though. I need to check up on him and see how his foot is doing. See you at the feed.

Met area Ridge Runner this past weekend and he said he would take the feed flyer I made up to see if they will post it at ATC in Boiling Springs and then down to Outfitter and ATC Headquarters in HF. Hey the cats out of the bag the 'Allenberry' is now $40 not $25 a night.., still a bargain. http://www.allenberry.com/
And by the way, any rumors anyone may have heard about thur-hiker screwing things up there are totally false. Owner said she checked on prices with area B&B's and they still have them beat. She did say it's been tougher on her staff that cleans the rooms and also said they are finding more dirt and debri in their washers, pool, and hot tub:eek:

What time?


not sure, I think its either 2:45 or noonish depending on which train I get on.

I may have to travel to Pittsburg or Chicago and hitch since I changed my date of departure and that made the ticket I had bought $200 more (Which I didnt buy--hoping to ride as long as I can on my other ticket).

god I cant wait to get back to work again.

[BAG "o" TRICKS]

I told you the last time we talked I already had a flyer made up from previous feed's and that I would make them up. Sorry you wasted time and money. This past weekend I honestly had no intention of going to Duncannon. I was only there to slack as I had promised a very good friend of mine on his thru-hike and did not realize you needed to see me about anything. Sorry.

What do you mean the sponsors names are listed here?
Among all the post on this thread?
Could you please send me the list of sponsors.
Sorry I do not have nor want a computer at home. Have one at work and I only get on it occasionally (not everyday)

the billville feed will be canceled due to the price of fun.
this just in...
the billville feed will be held as usuall due to generous donations of antifun donated annonymosly.
antifun particals will be contained in a containment feild held in stasis by nutron waves of semi hardened hiker alloys. this will attract and hold available funcicales witch will be fed to the converter to help make the journey. in other news...bag of tricks and mary, sitting in a tree h i k e i n g.first comes "of". then comes "mary".then drums rage at the hiker marrige.

aslo today, tank spoke 45 words in 24 hrs establishing a new world record for untalkers. also tank used a phone it has been reported.

matthewski was not in the news today fueling more contraversy as to weather he is enrolled in spelling classes witch would violate his contract with mesa who uses mattheski as a low bar for testing and any change in his iq would upset results of geniuses everywhere.

Myself, Jester and Bag "o" Tricks met Saturday night at Doyle and finalized plans for events and remainder of purchases needed for the feed. Tricks and Jester have their lists. Along with the traditional Leki Pole Throw, we came up with some AWESOME new game ideas. It is going to be so funny. Have your camera ready!

[Lion King]

[BAG "o" TRICKS]

I am not 100% sure but think I may be able to make it down and if I need to actr as an abritrator you guys are all on your own.

Tricks can't wait to see you and tell you about the hikers who I helped last night that spent some quailty time with you and are still thining about it all the way into CT.

Mary drink some of the wine that is in the Youtube video thumbnail. I?t will all work out. it always does.

Well after our little pow wow in Duncannon this past Saturday 'hopefully' we've got it all together for this weekend. T.A. Mary, as usual, has done most if not all the leg and prep work thus far, along with feeding and shuttling hikers. Amazing. If any thru-hiker currently on the trail read this please take note: The Doyle Hotel closed their kitchen early (6pm) on the 4th and T.A. Mary offered the thru-hikers dinner at her place. Her daughter Tina and Mountain Mike put together a very nice meal for us all. At the end of it we all 'thanked them' for it but not one of the thru-hikers offered Mary a dime or donation for it. Maybe its just me, but I found this a little disturbing and hoped it was not the norm in manners today. Anyway back to feed, Mary is really counting on help from all Billvillians in attendance along with any others attending who may be interested in helping out, just ask her when you see her.

Jester and I went out to a trailhead after the meeting and threw down some magic in the extreme heat and humidity, which made the 25+ hikers who happened to walk into it extremely happy. To any trail angels out there that can help, water is gone in all but a few springs now in PA so hikers really appreciate anyone who can leave a few gallons at a trail crossing. Stopped in Port Clinton last evening on way home and met another ten or so thru-hikers. Despite the usual summer weather and lack of water everyone said they were, "doing great, but with slightly sorer feet":) Sasquatch I hope to see you and many others at the feed.

I was hoping to head up that way yesterday or today; there seem to be some transportation issues that need to be resolved and it now looks like I'll be delayed. If anyone plans to be in or passing thru Harpers Ferry in the next few days, please let me know, thanx.

[Panzer1]

It looks like the temps are going to be nice and cool at night for tent camping.
71 degrees Friday night
67 degrees Saturday night

Transportation issues? What ever happened to walkin', after all.., you 'are' a trail legend;). If you had started walking the last I heard you where in HF you'd be back in NJ or NY by now:D. Was looking for you on the trail between Penn Mar and PGF but everyone I ran into on that section said the last time they saw you was in HF or in Waynesboro, someone even reported seeing you riding around with Crazy Horse:eek:. Anyway if you need a ride call me at my home number and I'll come get you and bring you to the feed.

Luv ya Brother.:p

[Miss Janet]

I have a exhausted, hot and discouraged hiker at Pen Mar that needs the support and hiker love of Billville. He is a chef and when I suggested he might come to Duncannon and hang out with everyone and help with the Feed it really seemed to lift his spirits. Is there anyone around this evening that might be able to make a run down there to pick him up? If not, what are his best options for hitching that way?? Call me if you can help out and I will pass on the message.... 423-483-0620 Miss Janet

[harryfred]

Just got back from Harpers Ferry. Note to self: Do not hike the roller coaster on the hotest most humid days of the year:eek:. Too late to head on up to night I'll get cleaned up and head on up tomorrow. Better late than never. hope there is still a tent spot.

[Panzer1]

so, what was the official count of people who attended? I'm guessing about 100 or so.

Panzer

[Jack Tarlin]

Beats me. 100 seems a bit high; 65-75 is more like it.

All I know is everyone had a great time; thanx to all who helped out!!

[boarstone]

Now what happened between June 9th and today? Inquiring minds want to know!

Great seeing you all. Was a long trip home. After I dropped off those that were there I came across a hiker trying to get up to Culvers Gap from the DWG so I gave him a ride and figured if I was going to be that close..... So I brought water up to Shelter near HP in NJ that has no water source.

[Panzer1]

next year if it is this hot again I think we should have a wet T shirt contest, just to beat the heat. And if no one else wants the job I'll volunteer to be the hose boy :D

[Lone Wolf]

so did somethin' bad happen? there are no reports of a good time or anything

[RedneckRye]

My guess is that the bacon explosion caused everyone's arteries to seize up and no one survived.

mmm...bacon.

[Panzer1]

I skipped the bacon explosion this year because when I tried it last year it did not sit well in my stomach. burrrpp

Panzer

[Panzer1]

yea, it has been quiet.

Panzer

[Jester2000]

Nah, if something bad happened, you definitely would have heard about it.

Personally, I fell asleep immediately after the Feed and I just woke up.

[trailangelmary]

rave reviews from all the hikers I've seen since. Pics and video soon on facebook and my youtube...search trailangelmary on youtube

Panzer Yeah, but a hiker wet t-shirt contest is when all the hikers put their sweat soaked t-shirts on display and the smelliest wins a prize. In any case, I'm the official billville hoseboy (and towelboy, in the event of any actual hosing or toweling off).

wait a minute. the wet t-shirt contest was my idea. :-?

PanzerI believe the wet T-shirt contest has been around long before either of us ever knew what was under those t-shirts...

[Panzer1]

another idea I had was to set up our own recycle bins for next year for cans and plastic bottles (glass bottle should be discouraged). That way people won't stuff beer cans in the public trash barrels, which is a problem because beer is not allowed and the park employees know to look in the trash barrels for empty beer cans. And besides recycling is always a good idea.

There were no beer cans or bottles in any of the barrels or the dumpster. We checked.

It was completly dry at the feed. Sleeping in the field was like sleeping on straw.

Like sleeping on straw in Salt Lake City.

The only thing drier than that feed is the wit on this thread.
