The 2013 Horton & Hill - "800 Miles to Sobriety" Tour

[Horton]

Just in case it seems like this web site is off the rails all next week.... you should know that @ShaneH is picking me up in New Orleans Friday. In theory we well go straight to the the BigDawg site in Miss. On Monday we will go visit @SkiDawg and by Thursday we will be in Austin for @TFIN 's Wounded Warrior - Fund Raiser Tournament and Saturday is Texas State championships.

 

I figure that is about 800 miles and by then end of it I will be ready for 6 months of sobriety.

[RichardDoane]

hopefully your skiing won't be on the straight and narrow...

[Horton]

Well I never drink and ski.... so we may not get a lot of skiing in.

[ForrestGump]

This should be quite the week. I'm already feeling parched and thirsty. If I'm late to pick you up, blame it on the beautiful girl I'm stopping to have lunch with on the way to New Orleans.

[A_B]

@Horton, so he might be about 3 minutes late... :)

 

I am involved in running a Wounded Warrior Golf Outing in July. We have Kirk Maltby playing in a group, and have sponsors for 2 groups of wounded veterans to play in it.. A good cause!

 

[ForrestGump]

Trent and the Berry's are putting on an awesome event. Your entry check gets written to the Wounded Warrior Project. Trent and the Berry's are covering all the expenses, party, fireworks, etc so 100% goes to charity.

[klindy]

See you guys in Austin Thursday/Friday!

[thompjs]

@ShaneH, I thought the Utopia tournament was exclusive?

 

See you there.

[ForrestGump]

@thompjs Horton and I have them fooled. They should have probably turned us away.

[Chef23]

@Horton I would imagine that skiing then drinking is encouraged though.

[usaski1]

I wanted to get in on the july 4th tourny too.. but then I was bummed when it said exclusive... I think I'm going to try to do tx state... Its not full yet is it?

[ForrestGump]

We're also going to try and get some sets at Quickset over the weekend. I'm looking forward to that. So if all works out, we'll ski the following lakes over the next week:

 

Quickset

Cedar Ridge

Ol' Ward's Pond

Cottonwood

Lakes at Cypress Hill

Aquaplex

Utopia River Ranch

 

That is a pretty damn good week, if you ask me. Even if we don't make it to one or two of those.

[ntx]

@ShaneH What, no SMRR. I think I saw that State was being moved to SMRR due to low water at Aquaplex

[The_MS]

You guys should make a reality TV show out of this.

[ForrestGump]

Oh that's right. SMRR, too. Although I'm not entered in Texas State. They were full when this trip came to fruition. But if we get to Austin early enough Wednesday we might can still grab a set at Aquaplex with @MAD11.

[skidawg]

shane, the rule of road trip w/ Horton is no bad beer!!!

[Horton]

@skidawg there is such a thing as bad beer.

[skidawg]

You know there is bad beer! You drink it occasionally

[The_MS]

Get it before you cross the MS line. No good beer there.

[Horton]

need to find some Kilo Kai on the road

[Razorskier1]

I think as reality TV goes you guys could give the Duck Dynasty boys a run for their money.

[The_MS]

Or the Hillbilly bootleggers.

[jdarwin]

Ah, geez. Cottonwood? Really? Shane, you realize that I have to live there - Bringing "probable cause" with you will only serve to diminish my already tainted standing in the community.

[Horton]

"Probable Cause"? I am afraid to ask what is the joke

[Cypresskier]

Shane, so you will be ready to start another 28 day program come Monday, July 8th?

[skidawg]

Horton=Probable cause

[Horton]

why?

[Horton]

should be "Probable Awesomeness"

[Zman]

OK

[skidawg]

Horton=Probable cause of hangover

 

There-fixed

[thager]

Horton & Hill? Sounds like a reality show about a couple of on the road drama queens who don't

drink any more................or any less!

[Cypresskier]

Shane is off to an early start on the long road to sobriety...skied tonight and might have had a few beers to prepare for the coming days....

[ForrestGump]

Dammit, I had a plan to ski, then head home and pack. Until @cypresskier said "Want a beer?". Now I might have to put off lunch with the young lady on the way so I can make it to NOLA in time to pick up the ball of hair.

[estrom]

Is this a remake of Thelma & Louise?

 

[Horton]

I am 10,000 feet over the sierras now. Next stop New Orleans. Let the tour begin!

[ForrestGump]

And we're rolling......

[MattP]

@ShaneH did you forget to pick up @Horton? He's still in flight...

[ForrestGump]

Pick him up at 3:30. 300 miles from now.

[klindy]

@MattP @ShaneH has a drive from Houston to NOLA first....This has some potential (not sure if that's good or bad potential but......)

[MattP]

Why does @shaneh and NOLA just seem like a bad combination. Then add @Horton to the mix and they might not make it to the big dawg.

[ForrestGump]

I've got my Sig Sauer with me. So if Horton gives me any trouble, I'll just pull an Aaron Hernandez on him.

[Horton]

Booze & guns on a road trip. Yep this should be a reality show. I hope Chad can get us out of jail in time for me to go to back to work on the 8th.

[estrom]

Has anyone warned NOLA that they're getting attacked from both land and air??

 

[Wolfeie]

With John 2000 miles away it is looking like a nice quite (hot - 104F) weekend on lake #3

at Ski West. You can keep him for a couple of weeks if you want.

[skidawg]

@shaneh - don't leave any chewing gum

[matthewbrown]

Easy on the porn, or at least don't watch it together.

[Horton]

@matthewbrown our porn is slow mo video of you

[klindy]

That's kinda creepy....

[skidawg]

This thread has derailed into a train wreck!!!!

[ForrestGump]

We made it through one evening with no jail trip and no one getting shot. Right now Jones and Horton are telling each other bed time stories.
