The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

You can stay on the Bilmore grounds in their inn for around $200/night.

BTW, when I was in college I backpacked a pony keg to the top of Devil's Courthouse and hosted a party complete with musicians and about 1/2 way down the face until the rangers ran us off.

We need to post a clickable map of the US and have folks vote on which state(s) they'd like the next moot to be in.

We could tally up the votes from there.

State with the most votes wins.

At least that could narrow down the search area for vacation rentals.

We need to vote on the time of year too.

Or even get an idea of what folks want to do on the next moot. That would go a long way towards determining where we'd need to be.

I have a lot of respect for those rangers of 'old'. They lined us up, asked who was driving, checked our eyes and made the more glassy eyed of us give our keys to someone else to drive and sent us on our way.

Today they'd have called the wagon and tow trucks.

LOL! Don't I wish!

I think Hawaii will be our 2010 Moot.

After Ramius finally gets us our six-figure salaries. ;-D

State with the most votes wins.

If'n we ain't got more than 50 HHDs, we might never get a majority...

My map would look exactly like yours except for I'd trade Kookifornia for Utah.

No one is going to vote to go to Deleware. Or New Jersey. You can take those off the list ;~D

Plus in San Diego (less than a 2-hour drive away) the Wild Animal Park (WAY better than an ordinary zoo) and of course the world famous Lawrence Welk museum. I mean, c'mon, it doesn't get much better than that! ;)

And did you mean "Sea World" rather than "Sea Land" or is there something called Sea Land that I haven't heard of?

Of course we would! Everyone gets to vote for more than one state.
