The hike is steep,
And there's nothing to see."

"And they came all the way up here just to see a movie location?"

Unknown couple walking back from Table Rock after passing our group.

My thoughts: And yet you are here and didn't even come to see a movie location? Duh!

"It's a really long hike up, and you can't really see anything. It's all overgrown, and the view is gone. But...we're goin' anyway!"

Stephanie - before the long trek up through the "jungle" to Cameron's Cabin.

That's funny that you use the word "jungle" to describe the hike to Cameron's Cabin. That word crossed my mind as I look back over my pictures from that day; it almost looks more like a scene from a Vietnam War movie than F&I War.

Another quote that most of you haven't heard yet, this one after leaving Lake James after a very long and tiring day on 2 hrs of sleep:

Stephanie: I'm so exhausted I think I'm seeing purple penguins!
April: Don't you mean purple pigeons?
Stephanie: Yeah I'm seeing those too!

Well, I'm gonna add mine at an opportune time:

"Watch out for these pokey things..."*

*as said scaling the somewhat steep incline to Table Rock as well as Cameron's Cabin....

We SHOULD have told him that the land on that side of the river was a traditional Native American religious site (note our shirts) and that we had permission from AIM to be there, and that he was infringing on our religious rights as Native Americans and our Constitutional rights as well,, and asked him who his superior was, then turned around and pretended to make a cell phone call.

What a great thought, Fitz!

I remembered something else that I heard frequently during this year's Gathering..."Check out mohicanpress.com. It's a great website and will tell you almost anything you'd want to know about the movie." It was said many times, by many people in response to questions about our cool Tshirts.

What we really should have done was take pictures of Deputy Barney. Way back in the day, when the Pres sent people to spy on college campuses, the folks being spied upon found that the most effective thing to do was to take pictures of those sent to spy on them. Seems people don't like having their picture taken. Makes them wonder why it is being done.

Sounds like you guys had a blast. Love reading the quotes. Can't wait to see pictures.
There are easier things in life then trying to find a good guy..... Nailing jelly to a tree for example.
