첫댓글 아쿠아님 감사합니다. option3. 신청합니다.
아쿠아님 감사합니다. option3. 신청합니다.
Option3. 신청합니다. Thanks, 기름챙이님 & blue님. I don't have to go alone now^.^
저희도 옵션 3에 신청합니다.
저도 3입니다...아쿠아님 수고 많으십니다...한가지 부탁 드리고 싶은것은 예약하실때 camp site도 하나... 안 될까요?
반갑습니다. solo님.
Thanks, solo님. Regarding the camp site, if you can find a car-load people (5) for camping, I will make an arragement as a group. If you don't have five people, there will be significant extra cost and it gets very complicated. In that case, you have to make your own travel arrangement. We still can hike together. Let me know as soon as possible, if you have 5 campers (a car load). The camp site reservation starts 1st of April, so we don't have much time. (See regulations, fees, cost, etc. for camping: http://www.baxterstateparkauthority.com/miscPages/Summerfees.html).
잘 알겠습니다...산장에서 함께 하겠습니다.
Only four (4) spaces left for the trail Option 3. If Option 2 is not challenging enough for some of you, then we can split the Option 2 and add the Cathedral Trail as a challenging route.
저는 옵션2에 신청합니다. 산을 잘 타시는 분들이 모두 옵션 3로 가시면 상황대처 능력이 조금 미흡할 수 있으니 특별히 chanllenging 한 파트가 꼭 필요할 것 같지는 않습니다. 이것은 제 의견...
어떤산인가 하고 찾아보다가 보니...
Mount Katahdin via the Chimney Pond and Saddle Trail...사진이 작지만 맛보기로...

역시 아차님, 잘 찾으셨네요. 사진 보니 더 가고 싶어지네요. 저는 바위보다 나무가 좋아요.
Thanks, 송이님 & 아차님!!
고슴도치.통통이, 옵션3에 신청합니다.아쿠아님 감사합니다.
Thanks, 고슴도치님 & 통통이님!!
저도 일단은.옵션 3 에 신청합니다.변경 있으면 바로 연락 드리겠습니다.
Welcome, 마음의 섬님!!
너무 늦었지 않았다면 저도 옵션3에 신청합니다.
제가 마지막 같군요! ㅎㅎ
Congratulations, 백토끼님. You made it!!
option3 에 참여하고자 하는 회원님들이 더 있을것도 같은데요...
아쿠아님, 충분히 하실 수 있는 분들이 신청하신다면, 인원을 늘릴 수도 있으신지요...
No blue nim, we don't want to have more than 10 people in Option 3. Even 10 is too many. At a couple of difficult pitches, it may take 5 minute for each to get through. That means whole group members have to wait for one hour. It will cause a traffic jam at difficult places. Ideally, we should not have more than 6-7 people.
잘 알겠습니다. 이미 3 - 4 명이초과된 상태군요.... 아쿠아님, 계속 수고 많이 해 주세요^*^
앗, 이미 꽉 찼군요, option 3 혹시 자리 된다면 꼭 참여하고 싶고요, 안된다면 옵션 2로 넣어주세요 :)
그럼 다람쥐님은 옵션3 대기자 1번! (아쿠아님 맞죠?)
Yes he is, 옵션3 대기자 1번..
유비키리 옵션 투투투로 신청합니다. 무지 재밋을것 같아요. 히히힛
I hope so. Good to see you back, 유비키리님!! (13)
감사합니다 아쿠아님. 그때 뵙겠습니다. :)
저두 옵션 투투투로 신청합니다. 비키리님과 함께 ~~~
Very good choice, audrey님!! (14)
오드리님!! :) 함께 해요. 히힛
아쿠아님 너무 수고 많으시네요..
저는 Option 2로 신청합니다.
Glad to hear that you can make this trip, 아차님!! (15)
옵션1 대기(두목) 룸이 없쓰면 2로/업션2 는 조마 신청합니다.thank you.
Thanks, 두목님, you are on the Option 3 waiting list. 조마님 is in the Option 2 (16,17).
두목님, 옵션 1 신청하시고 호수에서 홀로 낚시 하시려는 건가요? 당연 호수에 룸은 없어요. (아이고, 죄송 ^^)
송이님 재치가 넘치시다.ㅎㅎㅎ
수고가 많으시네요, 아쿠아님!
저는 옵션 2로 우선 신청해봅니다.
Thanks, 하늘님. (18)
하늘님, 반가워요. 체력 걱정은 마시고요.
ㅎㅎㅎ,,, 송이님! ~.~*
망설이다 신청을 해봤어요. 아직 시간은 있으니 체력 단련을???
체력 단련보다는 계획적인 몸보신이 어떨까요? 체력단련이야 당일날 산행으로 보충하면 되겠죠... :)
로한도 갑니다, 옵션 2, 제가 안가면 아쿠아님이 마니, 마니 섭섭히 생각 하실것 같아서 ,ㅎㅎㅎ
I am not able to go this hike, because I have to work. No one cover me at my work on this friday. I already spoke with Aqual nim. Have a great trip, everybody.
저도 끼워 주세요
옵션 3에요...
