Getting bags together to head to Table Rock to meet our ride. See y'all on the other side. And if I don't, it was my wife that ended me

It's actually an awesome place. Great food and fun college football atmosphere. Tons of hiking and running trails. The lake is gigantic, and Lake Monona is just one GIANT party nearly every summer weekend.

But you wouldn't know that because you have never been and are just being your miserable self.

"Ever been to Norman, Oklahoma? They have an awesome lake there and its not all like the murder capital of Oklahoma at all. Of course you've never been because you're miserable."

Do you ever read some of the dumbshit you say? Like I mean actually read it, after it comes out of your hunting and pecking thumbs?

The one near Bryce Canyon wasn't bad.

Favored by travel baseball and soccer teams from all over the upstate. It has free continental breakfast, weird chairs randomly strewn about the common area, and the bedbugs are complimentary!



But for my money, I prefer the EXECUTIVE Best Westerns. This one, is in fact, WEST of the regular old Best Western above, which obviously, makes it EXECUTIVE.

Wife fell and ###### up her shoulder pretty good. Luckily the guy who drove us to the trail head bailed us out safely once we got back to a road. Dude's name is John High. Him and Taz do an amazing job helping hikers to and from their destination and bailing them out when they need to get off the trail.

Amazing people and full of knowledge if you ever decide to do some hiking around there

According to the shuttle it was the most difficult part of the whole trail with the exception of going into table rock. I don't doubt it. It was rough. And ice/snow didn't help

Before we learned that about us.

I think we will be more base campers. Lug in the stuff to a good spot and hike from that spot

I met Lacey at a widespread panic concert in 2006. I had tickets to Athens and she didn’t have them. The rest is children and history.

I bet after messing around with Lacey, he would shout either:

"Thank y'all very much!"

or

"Goodnight ladies and gents!"



...and of course, the date would open with:

"How y'all doin' tonight!"

There wasn't a trail there that I couldn't find a place to park my car for access. I think you got taken by some local business that usually preys on Yankee tourists.
