Roast beef sound good? Potatos and veggies? Campfire cookies and chocolate cake? (dunno where my dutch oven is though)

Ok , whatever. Just remember, you carry your own gear.

Chewbaccus · 11-11-2003, 12:35 PM

Let me just clarify. This is all going to be, you know, "outside", right?

...don't bears live "outside"?

Griff · 11-11-2003, 01:00 PM

Bears? Not around slangs place... hmmm maybe that power pole fiasco in Mansfield was just a scaled up rodent elimination device?

I have pics somewhere of bears in our campsite, once in New Mexico, the other in upstate NY. Glad we hung the bear bags in the trees those days.

We had a bear break open our Playmate cooler and eat all the strawberry breakfast bars in it. Didn't touch anything else, but he sure fucked up the cooler. I still have it. The latching mechanism doesn't work anymore, but having a bear-clawed cooler makes for good campout conversation.

Hmmm...I have video of that bear...

WHATS ROUGHING IT?

OnyxCougar · 11-11-2003, 02:13 PM

Can we do something more spring-ish? I love camping, but I don't love being cold and hiking in ice and snow.

The term "roughing it" refers to vigorous anal sex. If you've ever had it, you'll understand why.

I have thought about combining a camping/astronomy weekend... the Delaware Valley Amateur Astornomers uses an area at French Creek State Park for dark-sky observing.

oy! i live right next to french creek in historic elverson, pa!

i also happen to have a working toilet. I don't know if the mrs would let me out unattended for an entire wkend, but if this happens and it happens here, i'll at least visit and bring you dry socks.

i traveled the country for 3-4 mos in late fall and camped every night. still have my gear. anyone ever heard of the "rainbow family"

best time i had was in late oct in a canyon in new mexico...hot springs, big horn sheep, naked hippie chicks (my then girlfirend/ present wife included).....

anyway, i wonder if this will come to be, i somehow doubt it.

but if it does, i have room for several tents in my back yard for those of you who cant hang in the woods

I'm considering going camping this January (if a friend of mine comes to visit), probably in the Cabinet Wilderness Area of Western Mountain. I went camping there last June, and it was incredibly beautiful. I will probably try to get advice from my father, who would from experience know exactly what I should have and do (but might also recommend not to go at all =]).

The Rainbow Gathering! I remember one time during my Sophomore year of High School, they had thought of holding the Rainbow Gathering in my [then] neck of the woods. I remember my humor at the reactions of some of my classmates (in my math class. Are math classes more likely not to be on topic or something?): "i'm going to have to be careful to lock my doors at night so that the hippies can't get in!" sort of comments.

My parents may have gone to a Rainbow Gathering in Tungasket at some point, but all I've seen of it is a pamplet of 'this is what the rainbow gathering is about' that my mother kept.

I remember camping at Watkins Glenn, NY one rainy cold weekend in October for the US Gran Prix. Really miserable, the only relief was the heat from a burning bus. But being the pussy I am, I borrowed Dad's truck camper, loaded it on my truck and 4 of us went in comfort. It got a little warm inside so we opened the sliding side windows a couple inches. From then on all you could see was hands reaching up from below, trying to warm up next to the window. I kept flashing on "Night of the Living Dead".
