Just Jack is sitting here in the library and has been slack packing the area for the last week.........
No, no that's definitely not a smiley.
And while we're on the subject, does anyone know where the fark Green Hornet is??? Nobody has heard from the boy since the 14th (he was in Pearisburg).
I've been off in the Grand Canyon and the last I got was a letter post-dated 5/14. I've been given the duty of his mail drops (unbeknownst to him) and I'm not certain when he'll be in Waynesboro.
Ah well. I'll be down there this weekend. I figured I'd hunt him down and hog tie him while he listens to me go into great detail about what I went through in the Ditch. The hog tie'ing part could be quite entertaining, the rest, not so much.....
don't forget Park Bench
Wow I didn't realize we fed 20 people and had food left over in the morning. 32 hotdogs 12 burgers, 3 cases of beer, pop, brownies, pie, watermelon, and a good amount of other stuff. Everyone went to bed happy and full... but the pizza shack lost business that night....hehe I had a great time and am looking foward to doing more magic in the near future.
There’s no point in the destination if you can't enjoy the journey.
OOPS... Park Bench. No excuses...(and I know him from last year...)
Good catch, Stonewall...He must have blended in with the other park benches ...

Finished working on Roan High Knob shelter today and cut about 25 blow downs, as well. Only saw one current hiker, Otter and his dog, Trail Max. Met another interesting hiker, though. John came out and helped work on the shelter. He is a 2000 miler. He started his hike in '67 (I think) and finished in '80. He comes out when he can and tries to get at least 100 hours/yr. John is 92...Go John Go...
