Eagle Rock Loop Group Hike

It's a Kershaw. I also found a key with a black top that says "Curtis" on it, a quarter empty sprite can, a tube of lip balm, a lighter, and a ballpoint pen.

You guys were only in my car for 10 or 15 minutes. How much more crap am I going to find when I actually pull out the floormats and clean it?

I think the lighter is mine....I am missing one out of my truck. Is it a red Bic?

Tenn, you weren't even in my car. It's a blue bic

So, did we end up having 6 backpackers qualify for the ERL patch?

Ok... I checked everything but the can is mine.. The only things I need is the key and the knife. Throw the rest lol. That should be all I am missing.. have no idea about the can... we just came out of the woods so no one should have had a can lol. Just hang on to it till I get the hammock back to you then we can swap lol.

RedBuffalo, I just found a backup and threw my site back up real quick. I think this is an older backup because it is missing some of my more recent trips, but I'll find them eventually. Too many computers, files, and reformats for me to remember where it all went.

Red.. I haven't talked to Trail Relic but unless the other 3 of his guys finished the only patches would be for you, Tenn and Preacher.. But then you and Tenn have done this trail a few times now complete and I know Tenn has his vanity patch lol. I never asked for mine so anyone want mine you can have it. Just ask and I will give you a couple of dates that I have completed the trail and you can send it in if you really need the patch.

Next time I'm hiking all the way back to winding stairs and you guys can sit in camp and wait for me. I want a patch!

hahaha east.. you too huh.. guess I should get one so I can sell you guys hahaha

Nice photos East Stingray! Looked like a good year of backpacking! I like that Triple Falls.

Preacher Man - I just ordered a pair of SOLE insoles. I'll let you know how they work out.

TM - the patch was just code for who finished...

Hey, that Flip Video I found at the Winding Stairs crossing is pretty cool. A USB flips out for both downloading and charging. It holds 1 hr of video.

It sure was a great weekend for backpacking!!!

Yeah Red.. great weekend.. Pete found a NICE gerber fixed blade knife and a stuff sack and some other stuff.. start walking in front of him hahaha

Pete, here's the link to the stove I promised you. I have the Fancee Feast, but the other one looks pretty good too.

Red,

I wish that I had my SOLE's in this weekend. I am suffering from a bad shin splint in my right shin, and wow it hurts. It has gotten progressively worse since Sunday because of inflamation, but it is nothing that stretching and ice can't help. I have also looked at ordering me a pair of Keen's, but I want to try a pair on first. Time to go looking

I am really glad that I didn't lose anything on this trip, and it was really great getting to meet up with you guys and putting a face to a name. I hope that we can all meet up again soon.

thanks for the link east!
I like the Gerber I found, but I'd rather have the keys that I lost. Oh well, life goes on. I still had a great time regardless, the weather was great, the area was amazing, and the company was pretty good too I look forward to going again, this time with a much lighter pack.

Bill,Brenda, and Wyn all finished on Sunday. But Brenda and Wyn drove their car from AP to Winding Stair Trailhead. So they might be disqualified.

Good to hear that they made it out.. to tell the truth I was worried about them. They had lagged all day and Bill had a nasty stumble. They were hurting Friday night. Shocked me when they said they were going on. Oh well, long as everyone is all safe.

not sure where I was when that picture was taken, probably sleeping.

Yeah.. I guess I missed you too pete.. lol

That fellow in the back left looks really good

Pete, next time you will have to get out of the hammock and into the pic

I guess Pete and Bill were still getting ready. You got some of the names switched.

That guy in the back left was really obnoxious wasn't he? And slow.

he wasn't that slow, he made it into the picture atleast.

Mrs. TrailRelic here, just figuring out how to do the pictures...

"Top Left" guy looks like a park ranger (aka: Ranger Rick) with that hat.

Repost of trip photos; ERL March 2010 Snaps

here is a pic that I took of everyone before we headed out, and that cheap, garage sale hat sure helped to keep the sun of my neck that Saturday
