+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 03:54 PM) What's really creepy is wearing 'em on your toes. Not that John does....
+zzcoop  : (30 July 2010 - 03:13 PM) I really didn't expect you to do it at McDonald's though. That was weird.
+John  : (30 July 2010 - 03:09 PM) I liked to stick Bugles Corn Chips on the tips of all my fingers to give the look that I had claws.
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 03:02 PM) I had a jelly bean stuck in my ear once. It was delicious.
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 03:02 PM) That counts for A LOT!!!
+Wyldfyre63  : (30 July 2010 - 02:54 PM) I shoved a small pink pencil erasure up my nose when I was little, does that count for anything?
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 02:35 PM) Did you bring the Elmers??????
+Scrapinator  : (30 July 2010 - 02:23 PM) I do miss some interesting discussions when I am gone for a while :smile1:
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 02:23 PM) That was the Southwest Ranch flavored.
+zzcoop  : (30 July 2010 - 02:22 PM) I always thought Elmer's Glue-All had a certain "tangy zip" to it.
+mistylady  : (30 July 2010 - 02:21 PM) I had a hard time keeping paste in the classroom. My kids would sneak bites when they thought I wasn't looking. Finally was able to get glue sticks. Took all the fun out of pasting. I remember eating paste when I was little, too.
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 02:20 PM) Yes.
+zzcoop  : (30 July 2010 - 02:17 PM) I did the glue hands thing too! I never ate Elmer's though. But I was VERY tempted. It smells just like Miracle Whip. Wait, does that mean…?
Rhonda  : (30 July 2010 - 02:12 PM) Well, I was also a dweeb, so they can't blame the pot in my case
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 02:07 PM) I think 95% of folks our age partook...say...that could explain a few things. And they blamed the pot!
Rhonda  : (30 July 2010 - 02:06 PM) No wonder I turned out so weird.
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 02:06 PM) It's a wonder what hasn't been erased hasn't stuck together.
Rhonda  : (30 July 2010 - 02:05 PM) I remember the glue on the hands, too. I think I ate that also. It's a wonder I lived through childhood.
Rhonda  : (30 July 2010 - 02:05 PM) The teacher asked me what in the world I had been eating, and I said, "My eraser."
+Bill 007  : (30 July 2010 - 02:04 PM) We used to smear Elmer's glue on our hands, let it dry, then peel it off. I miss those days! Not the eraser eating, but everything else.

    It's a pretty ambitions endeavor and I dont know if anyone has done anything similar in the park before. I'm guessing if we do it and put up some trip reports about it, we'll find out.

    A quick run down...

    Wild Basin TH - Boulder/Grand - Andrews - Ptarmigan - Lake Nakoni - Hallett/Flattop - divide toward milner pass - cut across on the trail to visitor center - chapin pass - CCYFHM (Mummy Mania) - finish at Lawn Lake TH

    ~50 miles
    ~25,000 feet of gain

    Yes, this is scary even for our standards, but there are several bail-out/aid spots if we need them. We're guessing it will take around 24 hours... but we have no idea...

    No stop in Grand Lake for ice cream? That's just poor planning.

    Actually we've been kicking around an idea to make it an actual loop, probably involving going up through Stone Man pass and starting the loop from Bear Lake or Lawn Lake TH instead of Wild Basin. The original Death Loop scares me enough though. The thought of making it even bigger and adding another 20+ miles and another big mountain climb is absolutely terrifying (which means I might actually have to try it!). :blink:

    Actually a stop for some steak and taters at the Sagebrush has crossed my mind. Maybe even a nap on the beach. :yup:
