Trail Days 2009

[Beyond The Sun]

Anyone going to Trail Days this year? Depending on my job situation I might be heading down. Just talked to a friend of mine who's going, so I'll be getting a ride down with him.

Trail Days, Damascus, Virginia

 

[wokofshame]

i shall be.

 

[Bendixontherails]

I'll be there.

 

[Beyond The Sun]

Cool, well it looks like there's a really good chance I'll be going, so if anyone wants to meet up, just send me a pm and we can figure something out.

 

[Beyond The Sun]

I've never been, but for the most part it sounds like it. I think it's hosted by the town of Damascus? I'll let you know the kid friendliness level when I get back though.

 

[ray beez]

there is a strong possibility that you will witness my ugly mug there lol

 

[wokofshame]

yeah if any of you bastards want a ride there i should be piloting the ford danger down from montana and can pick you up on the way, anywhere between the two pts, just pm me

 

[ray beez]

wow!!! thats alot of gas, but hope to see you there!!!

 

[IBRRHOBO]

Bendix should be @ our Waystation and we'll take him up, so Diamondrails, Bendix and Iare a shoe in. Any ideas where the StP crowd could meet up?

Anyone heading up, pm me for my # and we'll chat and I'll try to bring any provisions u need (food, socks, atlases, etc.)

how' bout the birdcage at tent City? that's where i generally am anyway. right close to the front gate and everything

watch out for poison ivy @ tc!

 

[Beyond The Sun]

Does that birdcage have anything to do with Rob from MA?

 

[Bendixontherails]

the Birdcage sounds like a good recognizable spot to meet up.

 

[wokofshame]

Does that birdcage have anything to do with Rob from MA?

exactly. the man hisself, best dude you'll ever meet "i'd rather die with a million friends than a million dollars"-rob bird

 

[Beyond The Sun]

Fuck yeah, I'm riding down with him and the Mayor from Unionville. Just talked to Rob today, actually. One of the nicest fucking people ever.
Although now it's pretty iffy if I'm actually gonna be able to go.

 

[dirty_feet]

I love Rob!!!! He's great - I was almost done hiking until I met him in Dalton. I'll be there - somewhere floating around tent city, in and around the Billville peeps.

 

[stove]

Damn that sounds like fun, good luck y'all, I'll be on the trail, but hope to be there next year if I'm in-country and out of trouble.

 

[dirty_feet]

if you're on the trail that's more reason for you to go!

 

[Clay]

rock on thru-hikers.

 

[Beyond The Sun]

So it's looking pretty definite that I'll be going. I'm planning on bringing a shit ton of freeze-dried refried beans. From those who I've talked to it sounds like you pay $5 to stay at tent city and get free food throughout Trail Days? I'm hoping for that. But either way, I'm bringing a hell of a lot of beans so if we can get our hands on onions, garlic, salsa, and a giant pot, we can feast.
I'll be at the Bird Cage as soon as it sets up...what should the plan be for finding/identifying fellow StPers?

 

[dirty_feet]

I'll be in a teal bathing suit with purple shorts and tie die leggings - but that's just for the parade. I'll be in tent city or Billville...so as far as finding me...just ask for Dirty Feet. Last year people that couldn't find me said they heard me at least....I don't think it'll be hard...
