Asheville NC --Hooligans and Hiking --Oct 6

**Tartan Hiker** · 11th September 07, 08:01 AM

Between family doings, bowhunting season, and monitoring the hawk watch my fall weekends are pretty full. The Oct 6th date emerged due to the Hooligans performance at Jack of the Wood.

For those who can't make that date, I'd be happy to work with you on another date for a group hike, perhaps in late October or November when the leaf-peepers leave (we get a big influx of tourists here to see the Fall leaf colors. The season peaks in mid-October. During that time, driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway is nearly impossible and the hotels jack up their rates. By the last week in October, things pretty much return to normal and the weather is consistently cool.)

...and the locals come out from their tourist-free, safe and comfy hidy-holes to face the world again.

Summer went by way too fast this year, but I am so looking forward to a nice Southern Appalachian autumn! (mmm...Jack of the Wood's chili and a Guiness!)

Since it stays moderately warm, Bill, maybe we could do something, if anyone cares to, in conjunction with the Foothills Games the first weekend of November. Just a thought...and throwing John a bone to keep him from uttering "feces" again.

Sounds like a very good plan to me!

Now that's thinking the hike before the brewery. Must make note of this.

Just using the MEANING of 2 common versions-> one censored and the other not.

(One reason I don't -usually- curse is that ALL the words have meanings and most "cursing" is simply explicit non-sensical idiocy ramblings. When another meaning for the term is inserted, the oddity of the phrases is painfully obvious.

)

Now, a date around the Foothills game would be rather cool! If not that weekend, then the one after (Foothills closes the Southeastern games for the year).
