TX>Anybody Want To Bake Some Butts? 3rd Annual Butt Bake Discussion Thread

[sargevining]

wait....sarge is talking about a DIFFERENT lake to go "lose map contact trying to find"....
Last time, Hidden lake was the target.....

Yes, and in a couple of weeks I'm taking one for the team and will try to get lost out there at the new lake. Even if I get lost that weekend, what are the odds that a guy can get lost looking for a lake twice, twice?

August would work with me. I'll keep an eye on the thread. Need to find a summer UQ to test out.

I make what I call an ELQ---Extremely Lightweight Quilt. Its good in the 65-70 range---just enough to take the chill off if the temps get around 70. I use recycled stuff for the insulation, so its pretty cheap. PM me if you want one. Mr Gregg is right about the fan, though---

Last year the Butt Bake wasn't so Butt Bakey. Night time temps hovered right around 70. Some folks needed a little something, others didn't. I generally do. But if the temps are around 75 or above, you might not want anything.

Now who wouldn’t be up for a good, old fashioned butt bakin’. Count me in, too.

Room for (tentatively) one more? If I can get off work, count me and Wandermutt in! Is there a date set yet? Seemed a few were thrown out, but not confirmed?

We're going with the weekend of 8 August. I'll have the "official" post up at lunch today with maps, directions, etc.

These pics are from the Lone Star Trail Hiking Club's Facebook page. They just made this same hike this weekend for National Trail Days. It appears to be OK for swimming (for one guy at least). Someone might be able to catch a fish or two from the pier.

Looking at that last one, I think Zort knows the way there, although he's not in the picture.

I'll be going to SHNF HQ on 26 Jun to get the keys to the lake for the Wilderness Ministry trip, and will reserve the site for the Butt Bake then. There is a 20 person maximum for camping at the lake, but its my understanding that there's no cost. What this means is that participation in Friday's Pot Luck will be unlimited, but we can only take 20 people to the lake. We'll start making a list of who's coming on the "official" post that I make at lunch.

I see what you did there...a wagon in the picture. No, i learned my lesson from Caveman and Spaceweasel...I'm off the wagon from now on. Besides, there was talk last time of putting it up on blocks.

Dang.

I was hoping to call you "Wagon Master" from now on----
