Hey Sar, are you and Fordski going to make the end of the middle fork gtg on the 25th? Love to see you guys there.' TB

[sarbar]

I'll have to see! I can't rember if that is the weekend we are going 4 wheeling (This is getting bad, this will be my 4th weekend either backpacking or carcamping in a row!! And I think I'll be doing the same for the next 2!!) We are doing a huge PNW carcamping (ie...drinking a lot of booze and bsing all night) trip this weekend with a whole bunch of repeat offenders I am going to have to pull out my calendar! Hopefully I'll be there

[dicentra]

Repeat offenders? I like that.

[Allison]

dicentra, seems to me that I'm the one you should be thanking. You're welcome.

[sarbar]

Huh? I don't get that ML. Ummmmm...repeat offender refers to the fact that we hike together a lot, and we like to drink a lot, and bs a lot.......

Snow Lake's as good as lakes can get, (though write of it and you may regret) A lake of quite high qualitude, Just don't expect much solitude, But if you wish it, and have the strength, The shorline is a mile in length, With a beauty that most rarely plumb, If you haven't traversed it, I say you're With hidden wonders in every nook and cranny, For cousin Edith and Aunt Fanny, So if you've never been to Snow, Get off your it's time to go.

Aewsome poem And oddly, we saw almost nobody up there on that trip till the last mile or so......we had the lake to ourselves, just the sound of an inlet creek punding full of water and a zillion waterfalls cascading...

Aw, come on, if it weren't for me, this would have just been another plain old vanilla TR about a place everyone has been like a MILLION times. As it is, you got four fun-filled pages of my sarcasm sarbar's indignance my detractors (see tattoo thread for details of my pending demise at the hands of a bunch of baseball-batted tattoed hikers) sarbar's fan club quark's incisiveness And a whollota jibbity jabber. All included in the price of your membership.

[sarbar]

Not EVERYONE has been there Maybe 90% of the people here, but not everyone Eh, what do I care? I'm going carcamping all weekend with my PNW Posse to drink too much, dayhike too much and drink some more And maybe we'll show each other our tattoos I've got to get my fan club party favors ready (Oh wait, that's just the tub of margaritas I'm passing off as favors......) Don't worry Marylou, I'll have a big 'ol trip report for you, with group photos and descriptions of all the boring trails we did

I was just reading a thread about this very subject over on cc.com. It got me thinking that no matter what I think about sarbar dissing the "tourons" and writing about every agonizing detail of every hike, dissing on TRs is not good form. I generally don't read hers for this reason, and I'm going to refrain from commenting negatively on them in the future.

I just reread the original trip report (since here we are 5 pages later and I kind of forgot what it said). With the exception of the confusing use of the word "pooping" it's a good report.
