Week One

Saturday: The crew assembles and donning gore-tex assaults the mountains once again! Drivers push the Meadows to Billy’s watch trail, with flags flyin’ in the opposite direction. Drive two results in the locating of fresh buck rubs and many does dispersing throughout the surrounds. Many mules were spotted by all, with the crew vowing to return on Sunday to find antler topped mule. Chip entertains the crew by learning the most common navigational blunder that most have encountered, the circle walk. But one mystery remains, how does one walk in a circle back to the starting point, when the mission was to stay on the assigned elevation between two other drivers? Dark was ensuing when the Chipster was finally talked in by Denmama via radio. The rest of the crew was so worried, that we all got into evening wear and slipped into a dry martini. A new term may be added to the F-troop dictionary – “The Chip-about”, the term when Chip decides to solo navigate (if “navigate” is correct) the woods! Let’s see how a Chip-about works in the Stay-Away country….. 😉

Sunday: Crew assaults doe infested area, which appeared to have resulted in a re-infestation of the other mountain when the mules decided to vacate the area of interest. Mountain two was attacked, does flying about as always, but no buck. Chip saw his very first deer, a doe; where he was placed on watch.

Work Weekend a Success!

Another fun time had by all, with no injuries or property damage! In tropic conditions, crews assaulted all means of conveyance into the wilds! The Roadcrew readied ingress route to camp for the onslaught of 4×4 Trucks and probably Probie’s minivan in a few weeks! Food was prepared by Hobbit and Tobias, Chicken and Ribs….and the beer by Anheuser-Busch….

Many-many dollars were made once again by the crew on Sunday…which was calculated to be about $0.62 per hour-per man. The Camp Fund is once again “bulging” with revenue! Donations to said fund by the card players probably was more!

Up for vote to be considered, is name for the actual “Cross the Creek Badge”…which after thought should be just that!

But……in the end…..where in hell did Stosh go??!!

Hooter Hilton Grand Re-Opening!

Leaddog and trusty trail mutt Sophie, takes to the trails once again in what could be considered as “uncertain” weather. Driving up the hill from the dry flatland and some sun, into the monsoon’s of the Adirondacks it was apparent it was going to a wet day. An attempt to wake Digger from his “slumber” was made with no result….and the trailer appeared to be still on the jacks!

The trail was wet, as was Leaddog and his trail mutt. After climbing to the Hilton in IFR conditions the thought of viewing Stayaway in such conditions meant that a cleanup of the Hilton was now in order instead of going to the Scenic Vista. The roof was installed, (one more roof item needed to complete the project) crap cleaned up and so therefore, we are proud to announce the Reopening. Festivities were in order for the small gathering of attendees.

A saturated Leaddog and thoroughly soaked trusty trail mutt made a hasty retreat and found no representatives of F-troop in the “flatland”……but three cats were observed on Diggers camp clawing at the roof…. 😉

Photos to be posted as soon as Digger performs said task.
