    Default How dissapointed were you?

    When you got to the Cheese Factory site in Georgia and realized there was neither Cheese nor a Cheese Factory?

    i saw what i thought was a fresh water muscle in the spring up there. when i reached in to get it so i could eat it, i realized that it was just a shell from some shells and cheese where someone has washed their pot. i was really disappointed, really.
    don't like logging? try wiping with a pine cone.

    I was dissapointed because I missed the boy scout troop who were serving up burgers a day or two before I got there!

    Not nearly as disappointed to reach the Roller Coaster in VA and not get a ride.

    I was about as dissapointed in the Cheese Factory info as I was the Patriots not winning the AFC East and the 11-5 Dolphins taking it. Didn't we wager something last year? Pay up sucka, the t-shirts' on the way. Wearing it week without washing should do!

    I was really cheesed off!!
    ..only the mice remained but they were cordial despite chronic hunger pains..they all smiled when I asked them to say cheese.

    I wasn't disappointed at all because we had the place to ourselves
    (and we had a block of our own cheese)

    What do you mean no cheese and no factory? I'm hiking Unicoi Gap to Winding Stair Gap and I was really looking forward to some cheese that first afternoon!!!

    Unfortunately ...it's a BYOC (cheese) location.

    I honestly knew better. But I think since we'll be getting most of our food the next day in Haiawassee, that I will pack in something pretty tasty.

    I wasn't disappointed...because there was trail magic and music when I got there (courtesy of Holly Trout and Slick B,I believe). Plus it's just a pretty cool story that some eccentric person actually built a cheese factory out there. I suppose some ruins would have been cool to see, though.

    I enjoyed the same trail magic. Holly Trout and Slick B were great.

    Not really disappointed, but kinda weirded out when one of my hiking partners went into salacious detail about an rainy afternoon he'd spent there tentbound while in law school 30 years earlier with his now wife. tmi!

    You know who you are.

    I walked around looking for some cheese somewhere, maybe hidden deep in the woods close to there.
