[pct-l] FLTs BEWARE!!! Marauding Trail Pirates Are Out Attempting to Befuddle Us!!!

[dsaufley]

Ruh-roh.  There weren’t just old ancient dogs in the yard . . . one is a seven month old German Shepherd puppy I am minding for friends until tomorrow.  That makes FOUR people he has gone after in the last three days, as well as my son’s girlfriend’s dog.  Thankfully everyone so far has been unscathed.  This is bad news.   I am so sorry to hear about Switchback’s shirt!  I hope he’s not hurt!  I was not expecting anyone and would have had him contained.  What’s worse is that I heard the commotion but was in the shower and figured they were just barking at something outside the yard.

 

Sadly, the Golden Spike monument was stolen/disappeared a few years ago.

Yes i have to say i was befuddled today as i was part of the M+M brigade to capture A real FLT type person... I was mostly befuddled as to the price for 4 bags of MM candy's, 30+$ was more then my booze outlay for a month!!!!!

 

So i stand watch behind my conquering hero Switchback who fights Saber Tooth Tigers and watch as he attempts to sneak into Lightning Rods house only to watch a pack of little old ancient dogs attack him and tear him a new   ...........   rip in his new shirt as well as his back......

 

Realizing this is the notorious Pirate Switchback i kept my amusement and humor  to myself as i did not want to have to walk the plank, It seemed to pay off as we were able to eat afish sandwich in town rather then me being thrown overboard as fish food......

 

And then we run into more problems looking for the Golden Nail moument, not one but two locals come out to ? who we are and why we where where we where.......

 

I am too old for this.......

All fellow female leadership-types should be on alert:  Trail Pirates are on the loose, trying random acts of kindness to confuse and befuddle us.  Case in point:

 

A large bag full of this FLTs favorite M&Ms were left on the front porch of this FLT haven this afternoon, along with a thoughtful and sweet note.  Goodness only knows what they’re up to this time!!!  They know we FLTs are temporarily calmed by chocolate and with a mouthful of peanut M&Ms we can forget that those rotten scalliwags could be doing a million other things beside trying to butter us up and be nice to us.  They are up to something!  

 

Known for sacking trail towns and telling off-color trail jokes, these pirates are dangerous and cunning. They can soften up even the most hardened female leadership-type heart. It can happen to you!  Beware!

p.s.  Thank you Manyon and Switchback!!!
