I see (from the video) that the Gorge Rat Mischief had name tags, are we doing name tags as well? Methinks it is a good idea.

I do plan to bring a tarp or two and at least one hammock that needs a new home. I am out of town now but when I get back home the packing begins. I am nearly certain I have Roz' hammock and will bring it. I also plan to bring some cookware, a few stoves, maybe some trekking poles, maybe a back pack or two, a dry bag for you water folk and at least one DIY gravity water filter. I plan to sell, trade, or just show and tell. It's all fun when playing with gear.
Looks like at least three of us agree on eliminating or at least reducing our identity crisis.
If this were the church camp I do, someone would cut 50 or so cross section slices of a 2-3 inch branch, drill two holes to run a string through each slice and we'd all decorate our own name tags.
Since I am not that "crafty" I'll try to remember tobring some stick on labels and a sharpie or two.
The 2nd Texas Fall Group Hang is just around the corner!

Hey Guys and Gals,
Alan is right and the countdown is on!
- The burn ban is off!
- The weather forecast looks good! (Count on it changing, we're in Texas after all.)
- Mike's beginning plans for feeding nearly 50 folks Saturday morning Breakfast and looking forward to whatever the Saturday evening Pot Luck feast provides. (We're on our own for all the rest.)
- Gear's being fiddled with and packed for use, show and tell, or sale/trade
- We're all reviewing previous posts to make sure all the questions are answered or getting ready to ask them in the next day or so.
- We're reviewing park rules and fees so there are no surprises

I'm stoked!!! Slept out back last night with my ghetto fabulous zip tied UQ system I was testing! Think there will be an award for the most rigged up hammock system??? I've got to be in the running on that one!!
