Into the Piney Woods: Taylor Retreats Up the Red

Re: Into the Piney Woods: Taylor Retreats Up the Red

Having just returned from Kisatchie, I must report due to the warm weather and leaf fall it is difficult to tell the difference between fallen leaves and a Copperhead snake. I must say that it speaks volumes that men are willing to come from Europe to attend Into the Piney Woods. I will clear the snakes out before you all arrive.

What Tom means is he will eat 'em all and might even cook a few for fun and or make jerky out of them.

TGR - mon ami William may have picked the name for "Taylor's Grand Retreat". I like it.

After being gently coerced by Mrs. Terre, I am under conviction and will try to clear my schedule for this Grand Retreat. Sounds great. I also have enough time to get my 'desk body' back into shape!

Get your messmates and start hiking the sandhills of Isle Dauphine in hobnails and pack. Good practice.

It's David (one of three French BGR) and Patrick Reardon who one used the expression " TGR " for the first time in an exchange of e-mail (let us produce to Caesar who belongs to Caesar) and we adopted with our English friends the expression, very naturally:wink_smil

It's true that we have this chance we Europeans to walk more, (many public transportation, shorter distance (in cities), many cycle, walking, etc.) But in our campaigns, the distances are long as to you, thus we make quite by car, Bank, Shoping, etc. (It's not good for the health)
It is necessary to make of the exercise, because indeed, even if we make this type of event in France and in Europe (many walking on the event) as says it Madame Lawson, the BGR, we make or we make not, not of tries.
Go, go, go, we make any run 10km by tomorrow morning:cry_smile, it's start same 14-18 (WWI) as we say in France :D

The difficulty I have has to do with my beloved's birthday! I can't reschedule it, but I may be able to shift the celebration.

Hmmm.

While TGR is nice, I would like to endorse IPW (short for Into the Piney Woods) if folks are wanting a quick set of initials to use.

So it appears that the UK and mainland Europe will be well-represented. Perhaps those a bit closer will support it with equal vigor.

Kind regards,

Re: Into the Piney Woods: Taylor Retreats Up the Red

TGR that reminds TGV(HST), it’s for that that the sound is pleasant in the ear of the French.:D
Especially TGR that rings well in French as in English...:(
And then IPW that reminds a mark of computer, a computing program, a virus, a bad no-governmental agency in James Bond.:sarcastic
I joke Fred, if you prefers IPW, I start the fashion in France?!:wink_smil
IPW I also like, that cuts with the BGR...

I can only give you the opinion of somebody who travelled 8000km for the event (BGR), that is worth upsetting that life and its customs for that.
If god wants him, I travelled 8000km in one sense and 8000km in the other sense to be there in March, 2009, it is my blood, my life to be there in 2009:wink_smil

Re: Into the Piney Woods: Taylor Retreats Up the Red

I'll bring IPA from the PNW to IPW. A-OK?

But, Tom, I'm not concerned about the big creatures. Please do something about the little ones. Mrs. Silas hates it when I come home with critters. I've still got a decent mark from one of those blood sucking buggers which burrowed deeply, feasted on my flesh for days, and got really fat before being forcefully evicted with tongs and pocket knife. The other ones didn't put up much of a fight.

Re: Into the Piney Woods: Taylor Retreats Up the Red

wow. the thought of traipsing that wilderness again....to quote Sam Clemens- "this is sport that makes a body's very liver curl with enjoyment"

Re: Into the Piney Woods: Taylor Retreats Up the Red

We should make a clock for countdown same before the year 2000, or notches on a tree with a knife as Robinson on its island...
So we wait this event same a feast, same the children Christmas morning in front of the fir tree...:tounge_sm
We have to be a little all masochist in fact...:(

Re: Into the Piney Woods: Taylor Retreats Up the Red

Do the organisers envisage a mounted element being incorporated into the scenario?
