Yo Bin Rydin,
Where the hell was this freakin' ride, dude?
Email me the confounded GPS trackmap! And don't EVEN think of telling me you don't run a GPS, because otherwise I don't have a bloody clue where the Hell you went, other than to maybe Happy Camp area and back...
Dazed and confused,
-Tom

i dont know why the calouse fleash
is pealing off my fingers of my left mitt
ellen, i streum with my right hand
and string the board with left
so how many daze will it take for the black dawg to come
to the place where all riders will alsome
and the usfs will ~ be un no more?
it would be like the countdown to 2012
yet with rocks loose and planted in the path
and Tawm the camp site is 35 trail miles NW of O"Brian
and yes the ridgeline down to HappY Camp is Thompson
i have the roll chart from 1994
but no gps
my trail sence was all "wooker dookered" ( ask

you know when the roll chart gps south
at the end of that daze
you are back at camp
you skipped a rope
and dodged a log (where are those "points")
and a big tired grin across your dirty face
you got to the place where a T intersection
whent 5 ways
you try a few of them
and rolling back the od ometer
you hit a substantial rock
but you miss the tree...
thats dual sportin

i gots dah yellow high lighter thing, a whole lot of different maps
and contrary to what that evil sweeper Dan "tight nuts" says
i usually don't get lost
around here moss grows on the NORTH, SOUTH, West, and East side of everything
who needs GPS?, just look at the moss
really guarantuan moss is North ~ woosey moss is South
oh course when you get 12 miles inland from the coast you have to be able to read the charcoal
but thats another story
