Winter Camping at it's Best

We are Too Bold To Be Cold!!

Year # 25 is fast approaching

Bubba, Dig a Pit.  We missed you last year

Sorry for the delay in getting things posted to the website.   Here it is just seven weeks away until our 25 year celebration trip, I had better get in gear.  Here is what we know so far about our 2008 Annual Manly Man Winter Camping Trip. 

The dates, as always, are set for the 3rd full weekend in January.    Raymond ( I still can't bring myself to call him by his grown-up name of Ray) came up with this idea in a full stupor so many years ago to we can't  remember when.   Last year we had a great time at BRHA but missed Bubba.  No one fell down, oh wait a minute, Corry did.  He ran into a tree.  Morris does not know how to use a Bong.  He got it all over himself..  Well let me not digress.  The dates are set for (drum roll please)......... Jan 18 through Jan 20th.    Bill don't miss this year.   As an Elder you have been gone for two years.  Let's not make it three.

We are going to camp along the Wilson Creek river at the BRHA (Blue Ridge Horseman Assoc) land.  Arlie has joined the association last year and it really worked out.    The best way to get there is come in the main entrance from Brown Mountain Beach Camping and travel across the bridge, where I sunk the Jeep to many years ago to remember.   Anyway the BRHA campsite is at the ruins of what we called the "old sock factory" on the right hand side of the  road.   There is even a Port-A Potty there Whipee!.  It got plenty of use last year. 

At this point we don't know who or what we are cooking for Saturday night's group meal.   Anybody want to volunteer?

We are also looking for ways to really celebrate our 25 years of camping in the cold.  If you have an idea, send it to me.

I have started on a 25yr video to recap our past escapades.

Raymond is working on Firewood for the group.  We all hope that we get rain.  There is a burning ban in effect right know.

Greg Price is working on a new design for the back of our apparel this year.  Harold will be doing the printing of 25th year apparel. 

It is open camp this year so if you want to bring someone new this year, that would be fine.   

The cost per person has not been set yet.  We will wait until we have a little more information about the apparel, food, firewood and camping cost.  If you have any questions get in touch with one of us.

Are you willing to pay for any of the following items.  We are looking for ideas for the 25th year  Flashlight  -  25 yr DVD  -  T-Shirt  -  Henley  -  other idea.  Please let me know.

Remember that the group purchased Dutch ovens  and if you want to cook in them all you have to do is say the word. 

I have completed the working on the pictures for the 2007 year
