In reply to: It's looking good that I'll be here but I still have to say maybe. If I do go, It will probably be Saturday for the day. I only live an hour and a half away. :P Mr. Mons :twisted:
Make it a weekend or a day, but try to come anyway. You're welcome to spend the night if you can arrange it. Activities after a hard days climb should be very interesting :wink:
See Ya There!

I'm vegan (probably the one Jake was referring to), but don't worry about me. It's just as easy to pack my own food and then I won't have to worry be a pain in the butt.
Mmm. Rumney.
also: I'll bring a slackline for sure. I bet we can find some suitable trees.

I will do my best to make it. I'm trying to get out of a family type campground trip. Ugh. :? Unfortunately, the wife is really gung ho about it. Going to Rumney is so much more appealing. Plus, Beidermans is right down the road with the best sandwiches on the planet! 8^)
I should know for sure in a few days.

I was hopeing people would let me know if they are vegetarian or not so we could plan accordingly. No worries, there are trees!
Countdown! 23 more days!

Priorities do suck at times, but very understandable. If anyone bails on the wedding and you find a house, we'll be lookin' fer ya! Have fun, whichever you happen to be doing :wink:

BTW, have a friend who was down there last weekend, and found a tick hitching a ride on his leg. They've sent the tick off to check for Lyme disease. Is this a new phenomenom for NH?

Yes, ticks are a concern for Lyme disease, but have been for years. Lyme disease have been found in Southern NH more then in the Northern parts of NH, which they do link back to these ticks. Ticks, Rattlesnakes, Scorpians, Copperheads ... to me, no difference. They all bite :wink:

Enjoy the whitewater rafting! You'll have a campsite waiting if you'd like to come up Sunday, spend the night and climb Monday. I know I'll be climbing, and I'm sure others will want another go at it ... be looking for ya!

18 More Days n' Counting!
Campsites are ready and the days are getting warmer. So far, I have just one reply for vegetarian food. This must mean that the rest of us eat meat??
There are a couple of rules that I've been requested to post:
1. Sorry, no dogs at the campsite. They have dogs there and they love to bark if other animals are around, so the owners ask that you leave your "best friend" at home ... bummer.
2. Since they are on a well, their shower heater could not support all of us, so to be fair we will have to bath in the brook at Rumney or swimming at the local lake. Burrrrrrr. Just like real camping!
Now for the local information.
The nearest store is 5 miles away. If you need anything, you should pick it up on the way to the campsite. There are two stores in Canaan, but Rumney would be the easiest place to pick up supplies.
Friday and Saturday nights, Canaan has their local dirt track races. There is a small admission fee, but for those who like to watch crazy locals slammin' metal, this is the place to be. You will definitely hear it from Colleen's house. The noise echoes up the valley.
The owners ask that we be a peaceful group... no drunken fights ... and they are hoping that people bring their musical instruments for around the campfire.
Any questions??

Burrrrrrr. Just like real camping! Any questions?? Just 1: will people be taking care to not poison the brook through the use of soap &/or shampoos that are toxic to the true "locals" (i.e. birds, fish, turtles, frogs, salamanders, worms, insects, bacteria, etc.)? :?:
Good point ... I will have biodegradable soap and shampoo for those who do not have theirs. We have thought of this and prepared for it. We can only hope that people will follow through and take care of the "natives".

I've been so excited that I've been reprimanded for this, so I’ve been really quiet … Everything is in place at the campsite. The only thing I can think of is crossed fingers hoping the weather is nice.
See You There!

Just wondering: are noobs welcome?
Me and my friend are regulars at the gym for TR. Generally nice guys. My friend plays pretty good flamenco guitar and I can sing after a fashion. We're looking to get outside.
Could you use two more lackeys?
Thanks
Paul

COME ONE ... COME ALL
Anyone who wants to climb is welcome. I can not supply you with any gear, so you'll have to hook up with a group, or just enjoy the great bouldering available.
SURRERITO >>> PM me and we can discuss this off-thread.

In case anyone is concerned about the "biodegradable" soap issue, here is the low-down:
Peppermint Castile Soaps ingredients are: mint infusion, castile soap (saponified oils of olive, palm, coconut and castor), peppermint (essential oil), rosemary extract, grapefruit seed extract.
Doing a little research, it appears that this soap will not harm the environment, but then again, I'm not educated in the art of soap making, a chemist, herbalist, ecologist or anything else that would enlighten us on what is ecologically sound.
If anyone else would like to enlighten us on this matter, feel free to inform our climbing community.
Otherwise, 8 MORE DAYS!

Biodegradable soap does not break down in water, only in soil. I do not know what effect it has on the life in the water. So, if you're really worried about it, use it on land and not in a river or lake.

In New England, the weather always changes from day to day.
In reply to: are people showing up friday? i'd be down for climbing all day fri if someone wants to go up a tad early (assuming the camping place will be available fri night
I'll be at the campsite Friday to ensure everything arrived as scheduled. After that, I plan on being at Rumney around 3 to 4 in the afternoon.
When will people be showing up Friday at Rumney? We copuld meet in the main parking lot at any given time. When do you all think is a good time to meet up? I could have directions to the campsite for those who want to climb until dark.
