Hi EY    Sounds like a you were having fun until the truck thing. This coming October I'll be doing two weeks on the trail. Figured it wouldn't be so hot then. I should be some where by Wrightwood or beyond and just do two weeks of what ever I can put out 1 mile or 20 miles a day, its what ever the body will allow. If you think you would be able to, you would be very welcome to join us. I think my Grandson will be going along since he is now out of school. He is thinking of the Air Force in February. Captain Bivy said He might be able to go too. I hope I never meet a mountain biker on the PCT or anything else that doesn't belong. Take care and remember "Be Prepared"   Ground Pounder Bill "Semper Fi"

  Love this Bill!!!!  Hey I just got back from a week in Colorado and Utah.  Only got to hike for three days because my old truck had two flat tires and a fuel pump go out.  After I gave out the cash I only had enough money left for gas to get home.  It was beautiful though.  However, the Mtn. Bikers own the trails in Colorado (legally and illegally).  I almost got ran over over about 10 times by bikes doing 15-20 miles an hour.  Mike, if you read this, yes I so wanted to write some tickets.  Eric

       In light of the many perversions and jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking. 








    Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding the attacks on Sept. 11). 










    Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. 









    And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?" 









    In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. 

    Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school . the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. 









    Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK. 




    Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. 





    Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW." 






    Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. 





    Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. 









    Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. 









    Are you laughing? 





    Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they WILL think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us. 

    Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did.
