Day 1
MEB, Rotted Body Landslide (Giggy) and I planned a 3-day hike (Ethan Pond to Guyot to South/North Twin) just after Bearly Live. Soon after Arm was involved. A few days before the hike Donna was also going. Then I heard rumors of Swamp and Shizzy. They would both show up. We fussed a lot about possible going to the Great Gulf but decided that the original plan was best.
I'll tell this, for the most part, from my perspective although we all somewhat followed different paths during this trip.
I arrived at North Twin Trailhead on time. The rumor was that Giggy was late -- about 4 hours. I made the best of the time by sitting in my car, decomposing on a Friday afternoon. When they showed up (Arm driving Donna's car, Donna, Giggy) I hopped in and we all went over to Ethan Pond Trailhead where MEB and Shizzy were waiting (Swamp was to show up later). Shizzy had lost something -- I think it was his Rubic's Cube or whatever -- and once he found it we started off on the trail to Ethan Pond.
The group separated somewhat... Shizzy, Arm and Donna were behind us... I told MEB and Giggy about how I soaked my blanket with 2L of wine and we could each share sucking on a corner of it once we arrived at wherever we were camping that night and they were excited at the prospect of sucking wine off a dirty camping blanket. Once we arrived at Ethan Pond we decided to check it out. No caretaker present -- we decided to set up for free. Some people invited us to stay in the shelter with them but i informed them that we were strange folk and that they might regret that.
MEB and Giggy set up their tents while I ate a sandwich. When I was done eating I offered to help but they had already finished setting up so it seemed as if it was a waste of my time. This illustrates my more obnoxious side. Soon after Arm, Donna and Shizzy showed up followed by Swamp. They set up on a different platform than us. Actually, Donna stayed with MEB while Giggy got to sleep with me. I promised him some things but he seemed not interested.
We all partied pretty good that night. Swamp had his axe and a bottle of Jim Beam and he was going to wander around the campsite with both of them. I had some wine-soaked blanket . This made me forget the fact that my steripen failure almost ruined the weekend for me. Shizzy had a 4L box of wine plus some other stuff. Everyone had some good stuff and we all had fun... so much fun that eventually Swamp fell down in the mud and we all got shushed by some campers near us. I had the decency to fart as much as possible before getting in the tent with Giggy. Then we all went to sleep.
