Return to Mordor


Hello fellow Platypi, Cupmates, what ever you are. Here are the details for this year's Yosemite trip.

Upper Pines
28
Friday Apr 25
Monday Apr 28

This is one night more than usual and means that we could potentially do two decent length hikes (or one big one and be lazy the next day). I think we're planning on doing Upper Yosemite Falls instead of Nevada this time. Nevada, which we know we can handle, is 7 miles round trip (5-6 hrs). Yosemite Falls is 7.2 miles round trip (7-8 hrs.) More info from the National Park Service here. Mr. Lorigga will need to be in charge of his own feed, or I'll probably feed him a lot of peanut butter sandwiches. If anyone is lacking important pieces of camping gear, let me know and I may have extra/be able to borrow something.

Nothing says "good morning" like a good old fashioned tea bagging.

PS - I'm going to try to get the backpacking pass for Aug9-11. As in, drive up the 8th and stay in the valley somewhere, hike up the 9th, wander over to Half Dome at some point, dick around for a day, hike back down the 12th. Three of us were definitely planning to go and I was going to get four passes, so Lorigga and What decide if you're in, out, or maybe on this adventure.

First of all 3 days sounds bomb. Second of all I can contribute to the feed Lorenzo foundation with some sort pop tarts or something random. Third tea bagging Ron is almost mandatory. And Fourth I dont have class on Friday, that means Ill just have to ask for the days off of work, which I may be able to do if Im slick and kiss enough ass. Wish me luck. No matter what I expect to be there and at the top of Yosemite falls.

So can I just say yes?

Lorigga said...

Yeah totally in for the April 25!

Lets see, I think I can feed myself, pop tarts and PB&J just dont get me going anymore...=(

Thanks for the offer, how about I supply the food and you still feed me =)

Can we teabag Ron with actual teagbags? Of Syd's choosing? And have them dangle from one of our crotches...or perhaps a groupd teabagging! Sounds fun right?

Oh yeah, just have to say, I REALLY like the title and picture for this post!

Is that a yes to both from What?

And I say if Ron won't get up in the morning, he's fair game, but any tea bagging must be documented for future, um, wanted something less incriminating than "blackmailing" to say, but I can't think of anything. I think it will have to be a BYOTB event because I don't think I want to drink something that has dangled from a crotch/been on a dirty camper.

the pop tarts comment was a joke Lorigga. just so you know. and Dan of course you can just yes. Only super bored people trying to avoid during work actually post long comments. haha. Id play games.....but its more fun at times to just write random bullshit. Haha. As for byotb I got some apple spice with Rons name all over it.

Lorigga said...

NOOOO!! The pop-tarts were a LIE!

Cyrusse, damn I never said anything about drinking the teabags after they've been hung from our crotches! Thats just scary...

LOLs work...if it wasn't for posting long rants, I'd probably loose myself...

Wait, so will you still feed me =) Maybe you can make buzzing sounds as the airplane lands =)
