Isolation Trip Report

As tMail and MadDog get their trip reports to me in the comments, I'll post them here in the body. I just want to say this: Have you ever seen anyone run up Boott Spur? The Three Yahoos
Have you ever seen anyone run down Boott Spur? Even if you have, have you ever seen anyone run up and down Boott Spur? I have: tMail. The man is a machine. It was like watching to approaching cold front. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Mutha's pics are posted here (slideshow) and tMail's here.

Mutha's Trip Report:

The route was Boott Spur to Isolation via the Davis Path, and back the same way. The conversation covered everything from the price of gas to beaver dams to Obama to the ethics of giving water to strangers on the trail. Even the ride home was nonstop (mostly me) chattering. I have nothing more to say to anyone, ever. I'm completely tapped out.

So as I was saying... our feet were soaked from early on, with frequent postholes down to cold slush and lots of mud and running water. We eventually stopped trying to avoid the soaking and just walked through ankle-deep water instead of rock-hopping.

It was a terrific day (I think MD was down to a little over a dozen Ibuprofen - a record!).

MadDog's Trip Report: A few things for the pseudo-national archives

1. Given any opportunity to reveal his underwear, Tmail will do so.
2. Never utter the phrase "This looks trottable." within earshot of Tmail.
3. If someone should intentionally toss wrappings/personal trash onto the trail, Mutha must never come to know their identify. It could be fatal (for them).
4. The national weather service appeared to spot on with their detailed forecast of the day (except for rumblings and thunder). Which is OK, there was an ample supply of flatulence.
5. What is it with cinnamon raisin peanut butter?
6. What is it with sardines?
7. Dodges appears to be a class I-II pucker. I may have sinus infection the day that winter trip is done.
8. Tmail, chuckled and commented upon entry into the Prius stone-mobile, saying how was not not-so-clean. Little did he know, but I had just cleaned it for this trip, removing dust, saws, chisels, and granite pieces. Apparently there are different benchmarks - a stonemasons and Tmails :-)
