Hi Sly,

Looks like I'll be able to make it this year. Is the female room still available or should I make a reservation thru NOC?

Just heard that I got vacation for that weekend, so I'll be there! Probably stay in base camp like usual.

I have looked and been unable to find any references to SORUCK 2010. I have not been very active in the hiking community in the last couple of years, but do enjoy going to SORUCK? Is it happening...

I work all weekends now, but I am so putting in for that weekend off so that I can be there. We are only allowed 4 weekends a year off, but I LOVE SoRuck!

I'd love to do this again this year because I had so much fun last year, but my job now makes me work every Friday-Saturday-Sunday nights, with only 4 weekends off a year. I'm gonna try to get to...

It was in early May 2006 south of Fontana Dam, and was about 36 hours. I thought the world had ended or something!

Just got home a few minutes ago from SoRuck. It was fabulous, thanks to Sly for all the work he did, the cooks for feeding us so well, all the friends for the hugs and smiles and conversation.

I hope you have had a very happy day. I think you told me you were going to be 22???? At least I remember the number 22 coming up in the conversation!

Sitting here missing your puppy... LOL

I'm another fan of the high desert southwest. Spend about two weeks out there this past August. On my first day, I took the tram to the top of Sandia Peak and hiked the La Luz trail down. It just...

I'm coming so SoRuck and am not on the list

Thanks!

Thanks so much, everyone who helped bring Whiteblaze back! I was here when the site got hacked; went from a discussion about Soruck to the big black obscene hacked screen. Scared me too, but the...

There is nothing "fake" about the tears I've cried over this tragic situation. I've followed the thread(s) since the very beginning, but this is the first time I have felt compelled to post. A lovely...

I've certainly been happy with my Marmot Helium. It's rated to 20, but I think that's a little optimistic. But then, I'm a cold sleeper...

No crazy family stories -- I had a fairly typical family for the era when I grew up: working dad, SAH mom, one older sister, no brothers. The only one left is my sister, who I usually see over New...

Merry Christmas, Ms Janet to you and yours. May all the blessings of the season descend upon you! ::::Hugs::::

I agree, it is a great read! I was lucky enough to get it at the Christmas gift exchange in Franklin at Ronnie Haven's shindig. I knew it was among the gifts, and was what I really wanted, but Miss...

I was lucky enough to get to stay at Woods Hole Hostel on my hike in 2006. Neville was helping Miss Tillie that year. Neville is also a licensed massage therapist and was offering massages to hikers...

When I left the trail at the end of my hike in 2006, I was in central Virginia, and got shuttled to Amtrak, went to Gainesville, got picked up by Leigh of the Hiker Hostel. Josh and Leigh are great...

Currently I am in the process of losing or growing out 6 toenails. Three of them hurt at the time; the others were totally painless. There is no pain involved with any of them anymore. Only one...

I haven't tried this canned butter, but way back when while I was in nursing school, a friend of mine received commodity foods, and butter was one of the things they received. They gave a lot to me,...

It is exit #37 off of I-26. Then follow directions given. Be careful! Miss Janet's is definitely a vortex...

Is there an outfitter in Erwin. I am getting ready to go there for a couple of weeks of hiking before Trail Days and there are a couple of things that I need. I guess I could go to the Outfitter here...

I like Wigwam heavyweight wool socks that I get at Bass Pro/Outdoor World. They come with a lifetime guarantee, and they are a lot softer than the Smartwool socks. Since I discovered them, I wear...

Hey digger! Are you married now, or is the wedding still pending? I got to Fontana Dam, yellow-blazed to Damascus for Trail Days, then hiked north out of Damascus. Got as far as Jennings Creek before...

On my hike last year, I carried one of the closed cell foam pads that are made for use kneeling in the garden. It got used mostly when I was pumping water for something dry to sit on. My old knees...
