Tic-toc tic-toc, 14 days until we rock! Plans are proceeding very well. We've finally gotten all of the logistics worked out (getting performers to/from Maine, lodging, food, set lists, equipment, stage set up). Now all we need to do is learn the songs :eek: Just kidding: the Bluffs have been...

Hmmm, you move out west, send us "wicked pissa" pics from Mts named after women (though I'm not sure you want to mention that you climbed on top of Maude with this crowd :rolleyes: ), and chase some local skier all over a mountain on skis... in July. Sounds like life doesn't suck!

Glad you are fine! Sounds to me like the fall helped you to avoid being vehicle #8 in the pile-up. Karma baby, just good ( :confused: ) Karma.

Knowing the view from Puzzle, it is indeed the best way to get the most of that loop. The feeling of "from whence you came" must have been inspiring. Now, how long have I been telling you about Puzzle? Truth be told: you couldn't have done it any better for your first time on it. I lucked out...

Thanks to all of you for making Ash one happy lady! The thought of spending July 4th weekend alone was none too appealing for her, and as usual, you all came through magnificently! Gris sent me a note, like a proud papa saying he had just spoken to her. After she told him about the hike she...

Hmmm, I wonder who you might be thinking of :rolleyes: Regardless of how it's measured, breaking a record is amazing. The feeling of being "the best", if even for a moment is something to cherish. It's similar to reaching the highest peaks: when nothing else is higher, you feel something...

1) Assumed that ANYONE hiking with me could hike my pace: and have fun 2) Assumed that I could hike at ANYONE's pace: and have fun. 3) Forgot to look up, blindly trusting a weather report 4) Forgot to look down, fracturing a tibia, metatarsal, and tearing a ligament 5) Didn't double check my...

Darren, I heard the news last night from Chomp. Please accept my deepest condolences. After reading the obituary, I see where your overall drive and specific love for photography was nurtured. Although the flesh passes, the memories and images continue to live on. Take care, and see you soon.

Keep it clean fellas! There are ladies and children present! :rolleyes: Happy 4th! :D

Finally got back to this. This was such a great read: almost felt like I was there! And then to get icing in the cake with Hamtero's, and Jean and Nat's news. Life is good, very good!

And we have a winner!

Frodo: yes, it was one I'll never forget. Morning View after successful winter ascents on Katahdin and Hamlin peaks Totally agree with Carole and JohnL. Carole, her husband, Michelle, Chomp and I finished our 67 that day. Does anyone know how to say "Northern Lights" in Polish ;) Also the...

"Hey Mark, I don't think they meant trailless peeks" :rolleyes: "Mats, Bearly Live is NOT that way" "Arm, next time you take a compass bearing, please step away from the car" (you need to think about that one to get it) "Shizzy, next time I'll make the campsite reservations"

Neil, we've got plenty of eels. We are short on thymus gland though :rolleyes: Most folks (except Shizzy) cook on the grill. I'm hoping that this year raw food won't be left out though :( With all the folks coming this year we'll need an extra grill... The Lost Gull, on Rt 26 is indeed...

One last thng: anyone with a kayak can paddle it over from the campground and leave it on my beach if they like. Great spot to listen to tunes at night :)

Please post here if you have available spots on your sites. All of the spots on my/Ed's camp are now taken, so please don't assume that any will be available. Parking space is VERY tight, so PLEASE make every effort to park at the campground on your site. We are attempting to hold all available...

Hmmm... there are MANY ways to read into that one :eek: I can see the headlines now: "Swedish Disco Ball enthusiast found wandering in the Whites with Hot Dancing Queen. When approached, they were found to be safe and well hydrated, thanks in part to Heine Keg" (Doug: I know, I know...)

For the Directionally challenged, I've added a Campground map (here and in the initial post) with an arrow pointing to my cabin. Believe it or not, Mats got lost last year!!!

Lots of good bass fishing in the ponds though I've heard that you need a real long pole to fish with one of those strippers :rolleyes: The flatwater paddling is pretty sweet also! You can go 4 miles up, or just stay on the 2 ponds and do about the same length paddle.

Well, all I can say is I am very flattered that all of you are making the effort (and expense) to come to this year's event! We will certainly do our part to make it worth your while :) I guess I'll have to be on my best (worst) behavior since our esteemed Poobah is joining us! Might have to do...
