We went backpacking for 1 day plus a half a day plus a half a day. Then we took a couple of days to get back home. It was incredibly relaxing in spite of hiking 5 miles the first evening as opposed to the planned 3.5 (a slight navigational miscalculation! We won't mention whose fault that was). We got into camp the first night at night and set up in the dark. But we sure enjoyed our campfire!! I went and played beaver and knocked down half the forest while Bic and his girlfriend Melody were kindling some flames.:)
You can see, there is Angela and I off to the left and Bic and Melody in the middle of it all:) hehe
In case you can't make us out in this picture here is some help:
Dis here is Bic Vanwhelenburgenhoffen. Basically dis here is a Sveed and you can call him Olie (just make sure you call him loud he lost his hearin workin wit Jay Larson up at da lumberyard or is he da guy on tv?)
Dis here Melody Reeferson. She da craziest smokin Norvegian I efer seen. Leave it to da Norvegians to carry not just two but tree logs at once to da fire. And ta be da first one to da finish line even dough her good friend Jack Wolfskin started gifen out.
Den der is da selfproclaimed Caboose who was brave to hike wit a bunch of scandinavians when she is as pregnant as a moose (27 weeks). She held her own when stealing lumber from da neighbors too. Must be the Anglo Saxon blood from her ancient viking ancestors! Or maybe just case she's a little loopy.
Oh yeh, and don't forget about Johann Yerface. He just about died crossing a log bridge. Which would haf made da rest real happy so dey didn't have to hear anymore about his nephew Jimmy who wrote that one song about an ocean liner going down in da great sea of the Hootchie Mama when dat big typhon caused a tidal wave, or whatever de call it and by da way, did you know that his realated to dat one guy on tv, what's his name..... oh yeh I tink it is that David Letterfield guy.......
Whoa! Hold on...Blake has a girlfriend??? Where have we been? When did this happen?
ReplyDeleteAh yes this much is true:) hehe only for about 1 year. Or maybe less than that, ok, 2 months. I would say you aught to give him a call, but he is a little preoccupied these days:) haha Although if the GUTT man called I am sure you could get a hold of him. Let me just say that after a weekend together with them, I would give 10 thumbs up if I had that many. Instead I just gave one finger up...my nose, thats like 10 thumbs:).
ReplyDeleteoh, and ah one more thing Davey G. As far as I know, I'm pretty sure you are in California, Yeh, Yeh pretty sure bout that, yeh pretty sure. Although you probably new that, but you did ask, so yeh, now you know. yeh pretty sure bout that, yeh I'm pretty sure.

Yeh that Jimmy guy that works up at the grocery store where that Billy Ray Cyprus used to play his guitar.
ReplyDeleteSay, maybe you should think about posting one of dem other photos we took on the trip, like one of dem NORMAL pictures without painful facial expressions and fingers up noses and such. Yeh, just a thought.
