Setting a date - Whacky Weekend 2005

[sli74]

So, I haven't seen any decision for setting a date for the Whackfest 2.0 . . . I hope I am not stepping on anyones toes by putting up this poll but I thought maybe it would help us make a decision. Someone wanted an October weekend and we had 2 Nov weekends suggested so I will post this poll with 3 choices.

I also voted for October, but I will go anytime.

I'll see your donuts and raise you 3 French crullers.

What is this "whackfest" anyway?

Sounds like a scratchy good time! I also have to agree on October as a better choice; hunting season, rutting season, and bushwhacking just do not go together well...

Well, some of us just went whackin. I for one left the camping and drinking part out.

I think I could enjoy the camping part, but would have to agree w/ Carole on the drinking part.

Ah ha... mercy buckets!

 

[Double Bow]

All of the above!!! It's like the Triple Crown of good times (minus JJ)!

Unfortunately, the weekend after Thaksgiving is the only one I can do. I'll bring the cranberry sauce and the orange duct tape!

I promise not to rut.

 

[SteveHiker]

possibly a dumb question, but why not all 3 weekends?

 

[post'r boy]

cause gettin real bushwhackers together is like herdin' cats!!!
skip the cake cookies and the dr. this is whackin' time!!!

What "rutting season" were you referring to? The moose rut usually runs from late September thru October and the chipmunk rut ended in July.

I'd prefer early November myself, but any weekend is ok as long as it doesn't interfere with my Acadia weekend.

 

[MichaelJ]

I didn't realize the moose season ended so soon. I thought it just got started in October and went into November. My bad, I should Google before posting.

 

[Periwinkle]

Well, well...since this was my swan song last year, maybe it will have to be my season opener for my return. Keep me posted. If it's at Hancock again, I can at least come up for a *blazin'* campfire, etc.

 

[Puck]

A few questions about this...Which campground do people stay? Where are people whakin Mt Bemis? Mt Nancy perhaps?

I have to be up there on 22Oct so this could be great.

We stayed at Hancock Campground last year . . . maybe again this year, unless someone has a better suggestion.

If the Nov 12-13 weekend is decided upon, then I will be there, if not, I will look forward to the trip reports. Looks like it will be a "contest"

I'd like to change my vote to Nov 12-13. That does turn out to be a much better weekend for me, though I could still make either. I can't change it in the poll. Someone will have to proxy me or remember.

Whackfest 2.0, the lighter fluid returns!
