Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:39:14 GMT Bill http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10491 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10491 Yes, that was a good day. Scott, when you can give me a call. Seeing and hearing John's voice again brought back just how much I miss my friend John Roth.

Glad to see that it included the late John Roth.

JR, Bill and I had some good laughs about that - devolving into "Steve Merrell" and other goofiness.

I'd never seen that video before. The narrator got one name wrong though. I think that was Scott Merritt, not Merrill. ...

We had a nice hike and a good time generally. We made good time also. But I find myself a little sore this Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:27:19 GMT Doc http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10482 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10482 I can attest to the accuracy of Tony's GPS unit. It always agrees exactly with my $35 pedometer if you allow for the tiredness and decrepitude of the operator.

It was 13.6 miles on Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:21:34 GMT Danny McMurphy http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10478 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10478 It was a wonderful day for a hike - north 1/2 of Trace Creek Section! We only had to use our water shoes one time, on our second crossing of Hazel Creek, Tue, 29 Dec 2009 13:51:35 GMT Danny McMurphy http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10477 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/motrails/message/10477 Tony I wouldn't cancel without seeing the weather forecast the night before because it is always changing. weather.com is showing less than an inch of snow
