JCHTP2 Recap
Well my friends, I have returned from a much needed vacation. Last Thursday I headed out of Chicago for my big trip. I spent the first night in Cincinnati at my good friend Drew's. The next day we got up early and headed for the Cabin in NC. We picked up a little Ely in Knoxville a little after noon. By four twenty I was chillin' in the hot tub and enjoying a splendid view of the Appalachian mountains. Much partying, eating, and drinking was done over the next three nights.
Saturday night was definitely the most raucous. We started a game of flip cup around one in the morning. I do remember putting on my trunks about four and waking up in them the next morning. I am pretty sure I didn't make it in the tub that night...pretty sure. I did better than Ray, though. He went to sleep in his car. I guess he started it before he went to sleep, cause the next morning he awoke out of gas.
Drew invited his brother who promptly hooked up with Pamela. Too bad for Drew, but he knew he was essentially "cock blocking" himself. That's some love he has for his brother. We were all glad Jeff came though, he and his friend Chris definitely added some fun to the party when they introduced us to the new game "Fuck the Dealer".
The weather was perfect. Clear skies and highs in the mid seventies each day. The hurricanes devastated a lot of the high country area, but the closest ridge from the back porch of our cabin was still covered in beautiful yellows, reds, and oranges.
I spent Monday and Tuesday with my dad went camping along the blue ridge parkway, and hiked back into Linville gorge. Time with dad around the campfire is invaluable.
When I got back to Chicago on Thursday, Mary Beth and I set off to Madison for the first show of Yonder Mountain String Band with Todd Snider.
What a week.
