Roy Runs Out Of Believable Excuses, Trailheads Rally To March With Thousands, And In Nature, Then We Engorge Ourselves At City Barbecue.
We witnessed a miracle this week as Roy rose from his bed of frequent minor ailments and major excuses to join his friends for a hike. Joyous Steve dropped to his knees and cheered, “Hosannas” at the sight of the prodigal Trailhead’s return to the fold. George is still exploring the wilds of Oregon, hiking along with Carole and a couple of jokers named Lewis and Clark, who are so adept in the wilds they don’t even need the AllTrails app. “Is this the Oregon Trail?” George as
Trailheads Reunite, March Civil War Site, And Attack Smoked Meats at Owens & Hull.
Hail, hail, the gang’s all here, but where in the hell has the gang been? The last dispatch was a month ago! Patrick was on a cruise celebrating 40 years of marital bliss (and since his wife, Donna, didn’t push him overboard, he may have a shot at 41 years). Roy was assisting with his talented wife, Karlenne, who participated in a Birmingham art show. Who said Trailheads don’t support the arts? (Check her incredible artwork at karlenne.com ) Over the past weeks, the other

We posed for a selfie by a fallen tree and noticed something on top of it.
There were a couple of kinky Teddy Bears bound together. Had we discovered a toy BDSM scene? What’s wrong with kids these days?! Would we soon see a Ken doll with a red gag ball in its mouth? We blushed and walked away in disgust.

The missing Trailheads had decent excuses. George was flying back from vacationing in London, where he had been pub crawling with his wife, Carole, and trying to join The Rolling Stones. (Mick blackballed him.)
