Quart will do Matty.

Hey gang, I'm ‘very sorry’ I missed the Warmer and all my Billville brothers and sisters. Was under the weather big time but feeling much better now. Thanks to everyone who called to see how I was doing. Pat and Vickey thanks again for hosting us. Mary thank you for all of your hard work, please pm me and let me know if I owe you or anyone anything. I hope to see everyone sometime soon, maybe on trail, especially the northbound newbie’s, or at TD's in Damascus. Matty I'll be heading South (NC,TN, southern VA) for a week from 4/15 to 24 over school spring break. If you, or anyone wants to go along, the more the merrier.


Hey Ray, they are Lancaster County PA 'woopie pies'

We missed you, too, Tricks. Are you feeling better?

[HoorayCookies]

Thanks, everyone, for making Thimble and I feel so welcome! Tricks, sorry I didn't get to meet you, but hopefully I'll see you at Trail Days!

HoorayCookies and Thimble and any other newbie's that were at the Warmer. I hope to meet you out on the trail, and if I do, I promise some serious trail magic will come your way.
I'm feeeling much better now and headed to the mountain cabin in mid-state PA for some R&R.

[RedneckRye]

Glad to hear Tricks is alive and well.
When I finally talked to him during the Warmer after some phone tag, he sounded neither alive nor well.
Missed him like a brother.

I entered my first poem for the bad poetry contest. Named - SCRAPPLE!

Thank you Matty for helping me around my apartment.

Gatherings at my apartment during the preheat, warmer and Big A$$ Billville Breakfast were awesome.

Thank you to everyone who donated food and $ to make the breakfast possible.

Thanks to all who signed my 2011 register.

2011 hiking season has officially begun not only because we had our warmer but because many actually hiked during the weekend.

Work trip to Pine Grove Furnace completed these chores:
3-4 bunk beds done at Hostel.
Museum - floors and window sills swept. Two coats of murphys oil soap on floor. Books moved. Furniture moved. AND 7 visitors.

Handed out Museum membership submission cards at Breakfast on Sunday. Please donate.

Matty, Billville Hiker Feed is not July 4 but the weekend after - JULY 8-9. Food Preparation will start July 5 if anyone has time to come help.

Great time with Jester in the after warmer hours on Sunday evening playing pool and hanging out at the Legion.

Jester forgot to announce theme for Trail Days. According to our conversation on Sunday, it will be Hawaiian (the first Billville theme) in honor of Miss Janet's 2011 hike.

Hey Billvillians!

I'm starting my hike tomorrow! In honor of this momentous occasion, I thought you might like to re-enjoy my poem from the Bad Poetry contest.


Meditations on My Journey as I Prepare to Hike the Appalachian Trail after Visiting Billville

I'm the new kid here.
Yes, there is a "here" here.
(Here, that's the place where we are.)

Who would've thunk
I'd be not too drunk
With some strangers in an unfamiliar bar?

But it doesn't take much
Just some hiking and such
For some strangers to become less strange.

I've got so much advice:
Gear, towns, food, shelter mice
It's just spinning around in my brain.

So I'll head to the trail
(That's a path in the woods)
Filled with all of the knowledge I've gained.

And each day when I wake,
I'll remember this crowd
As I take each step closer to Maine.

-------------
Hope to see you all at Trail Days!
