I would really like to come along and liven up the BS sessions around the
campfire, but I'm afraid I'd be more a hindrance than I'm worth, having only
two hiking speeds, slow and stop, and an aversion to load-bearing. That's why
we have horses and 4WD. :-)
When I consider the prospects of taking on this adventure, I am reminded of the
story of the four guys who played golf every Sunday, rain or shine. Then,
three hours late one Sunday, one of them came home and staggered through the
door, dirty, sweaty, and obviously in a foul mood. Seeing this, his wife
asked, "Have a bad round?"
To which he replied, "Oh, hell yes! Dick dropped dead on the third tee, and
the rest of the day, it was drive and drag Dick, drive and drag Dick."
I don't want to be a Dick. And besides, I'm helping that weekend host a crowd
of Cal Berkeley folks who are coming to Knoxville for the Cal-Tennessee game.
A bunch of them have been popping up on the Vols sports boards and asking
questions, so we're going to show them some good ol' Southern hospitality and
give them a real tailgating experience, even on the river with the Vol Navy.
We plan to send them home five pounds fatter, hung over, knowing all the words
to "Rocky Top," and wishing our Volunteers hadn't beat their Golden Bears so
bad.
Hey, Moose, get a ticket and come on down. I don't know if Cal has sold out
their 8000 ticket allotment yet, but it won't hurt to ask. Unless you'd rather
tromp around in the woods carrying stuff, of course.
