Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Yeah, these foreign types see the "Do not feed the Cranberry" signs, and have to be wiseguys instead. :lol:

Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus

Travel and Adventure, eh Erik? Hmm, don't know about that, but my whistles (and dog) and I have been to the following places over the last few months:
Asheville NC, Charlotte NC, St. Louis MO, back to Charlotte, then to Greensboro NC, up to the Philadelphia area, back to St. Louis, a stop in Colby Kansas (home of the Kansas Prarie Museum), and now Boulder CO. In a few days I expect to be headed further West, albeit a one flute and perhaps a few whistles lighter.

Now if I could only find some adventure.......

Nano, I don't think that counts as particularly exotic. I suspect they probably have at least as many mice in Moscow as in any other big city, maybe even more than most (despite the cold).

Taking is one thing, playing quite another

I recently took my whistle rock climbing, but had a slight oversight. By the time I got to the top of the climb, I was no longer certain I had the manual dexterity to remove the whistle from my (zippered) pocket, assemble it, play something, and return it to the pocket without dropping it onto the head of my belayer.

Oops. So I didn't play anything. But it was there.

I won't be going that far northeast. Probably southwest and central VA.
Do you ever make it as far as Damascus,VA ? They just finished up another "Trail Days" week which is quiet a big to-do, with folks from all over attending. Our pipe band plays for their parade each year and it's one of our favorite jobs because of the people.

Yes, I've been to Damascus. Hiked from near there north on the AT to Mt. Rogers and beyond. I've been a member of the AT Conference since 1984 but never attended the Trail Days insanity. If I had known your pipe band was playing, I would certainly have dropped by. Maybe next year. It's a tribute to Damascus that they tolerate us crazy hikers as well as they do.
