The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

ruh roh, we've been bumped to terror level orange...

Be careful everyone! And keep your eyes peeled!

Times like these is when I really wish I knew someone who could give me some firearms training. I've never held a gun in my life!

Seriesly, there's not much we can do, but sit and wait. And pray.

Good Morning. Hair: Go check out the front page of the SoundLife Section of today's Olympian (page B-1). Come back and tell me what you saw there.

Do you know somewhere that tells about the different threat levels and what they mean?

Do you mind if I hold your cyber-hand for a bit, 2J?

I'm feeling a bit jumpy myself.

IMHO, all Hobbit Hole dwellers should have at least one member in here that knows their home phone number.

If anything does happen, we should have a phone tree going to be sure we can check on everyone in a systematic manner.

There are five levels. Orange is high, just under red which is severe.

Ick.... Bad news! I am gonna contact my friends in the Backcountry Horseman Chapter and see if there is anything they can do. Dammit. Especially M. McKinney. That is where we like to camp, but we REALLY need that trailhead. Back-country horsemen have put a lot of money into the ties and trail footing there. If they gate it at the road, we are screwed. They could still gate off the camping area without blocking access to the trailhead parking.

Reading that article... They give a really short deadline, Feb 17, and don't tell us how much money they really need to raise, only that if they get enough, it would stay open.

BCH could to ONE fundraiser ride and collect a lot of money, but the time is too short and the trails are closed for winter. This is tickin' me off.

Ummmm......yeah. I generally ignore my phone and let the machine get it. Freepmail is the best way to contact me.
