not really worthy of a trip report. Nice to see everyone. river gang some names are the same.


Big Bog(nice to finally meet you), Snowmonster and Mrs, Terry and Tammy and, Thaller1 and Whaller, Ga2ski and Mrs, and little ga2ski,Ski lab and voklboarder myself and my wife all did the hike together. Started on the MT Will trail around 10. finished around 12.30 We took our time and enjoyed the views. Snowmonster 's caught up with us at the end. The trail was short, but had some real steep pitches that were a challenge.

Cook out. That went well. Venison ,ribs, marinated pork, salads, sausages. chips and dips. Micros brews it was all good. Hopefully we can do this again. Terry's son joined us as well. Nice to see the same crew. Weather was perfect.

....and....

...and I thought thaller1's ribs were verrrrry tasty!!!
Had a great time BobR....great to meet everyone. Sorry I was a little on the unprepared side, but don't think anyone could've eaten any more anyways..;-) The size of the Mt. Will hike couldn't have been any better....but am extremely thankful you got us to accompany you hiking around afterwards. Only till you see damage done do you realize the power of running water, especially in the flashflood stage it must have been at. I really would have enjoyed being around the area to witness......nothing out of the ordinary left in the system by the time the thunderstorms arrived in Bangor area Friday night.

Great to meet you and glad you had fun. That was the plan. The afterword hike was interesting. Not much comment going to come from me on that though.:lol:

 

[thaller1]

What a great day we had... almost made the in-laws tolerable..

The hike was wonderful..the weather outstanding and perfect company!! The BBQ topped it all off...we would have once again been the envy of the parking lot had it been ski season! Great to meet Bigbob for the first time! Personalities were a great match...... I'm looking forward to getting together for another hike this summer and/or fall. Thanks to all for making the trip...special thanks to Mr & Mrs BobR for being the bbq hosts!

I'll have some pics to post tomorrow..the nieces wore me out last night... well, the littlest one did..she's 6... she slept on my head all night and was glued to my side beforehand.. They are off visiting other relatives now... so I'm resting!!

Had a great time. I think everyone had fun. Was nice to meet Bigbog, and to socialize with everyone. The hike was nice and the BBQ was terrific! Snowmonster- the pork bellies were to die for! The second hike was interesting also. I hope we can do it again this summer. Here are a couple of pictures:
