campout tribute to Bearmagnet

“Everyone who can make it is invited to come!

I plan on Hiking the AT between Pine Grove Furnace and Caledonia State Park in Pennsylvania. At the campfire tomorrow night, we'll remember our good friend.”

“Did everyone bail on the ADK trip?”

“Some of us will be in the Cumberland Mountains tomorrow.

What time are we toasting Phil?”

“I'll have to get with some other trip......”

“If you're camping tomorrow night! Hoist your drink in the air at 10:35 EST.”

“What if I'm just drinking? I'll be giving the man a toast tonight.”

“I'll be hoisting from home, gotta holiday shop with the wifey this weekend.”

“I'll set the alarm.

Remember to look up and catch some falling stars.”

“hoist your drink at 1035 EST, where ever you are.”

“AM or PM, ya hoser?”

“PM”

“Both”

“will do!!”

“from 1035 am to 1035 pm ;)”

“bearmagnet would approve!”

“ENS,

I'd like to hike the AT this weekend, but it looks like the snow won't let me leave the county. Almost a foot now.”

“dang, I thought of heading up to your part of the state and do some of the LT, but, I think I will stay south. We're getting freezing rain, not sure if we will get any accumalation.”

“For clarification, ENS is saying hoist your glass at 2235 EST Friday night.”

“'tis correct.”

“Another foot is possible Sunday, you don't want to do the LT, though it'll be beautiful.”

“my plan is to hike from Caledonia SP, to Quarry Gap and camp Friday night and Saturday, hike up to Shippensburg Road.”

“That would be 8:35p Central time...eh? I'll let er loose and go camp in the park for this one.”

“amen... let's all go camping tomorrow night!”

“No, that would be 2135 Central, 2035 Mountain, 1935 Pacific.”

“chili, you da man!”

“what time should eurohiker and crash hoist one?”

“maybe I'll even drink 45 year old scotch from a funnel for the occasion.”

“I'll be at a bachelorette party tomorrow night - something I know Phil would approve of. I'll raise a glass with a bunch of women at 10:35EST...something else I know Phil would approve of. :) We'll probably do something inappropriate to make him proud.”

“hyway,

according to timezoneconverter.com, the following would hold true:

22:35:00 Friday December 14, 2007 in America/New_York converts to
12:35:00 Saturday December 15, 2007 in ROK”

“The Bearmagnet "Coldfeetz Camporee Toastfest"
Rulz:
1. Camp outdoors
2. Drink
3. With no shoes, socks, or footwear when the toast takes place. (you can put em on after the toast)”

“As Phil would have said, #&%!$ that, I am not taking off my shoes in the cold ass weather.”

“A raised glass I can do. :)”

“bump

Jackstraw!”

“22:35 EST.....Roger, Robert............home, James

LMG, did you actually move to Montana??”

“I'll be out with my little sister celebrating her 21st birthday.

I know she'll raise a toast with me. Bearmagnet introduced her to the wonderful world of falafel when we visited him in DC 2 summers ago :)

Also for the locals who may not have gotten an email:

“I'm in! 8:35 Mountain Time! Beverages will be consumed.”

“Yep, me too.. I'll raise a glass or 5 to him. :)”

“All I'll have is a flask of cheap tequila....that's gonna be one hell of a toast...0.o”

“so who is in for camping tomorrow night, anyone?”

“Tempting. It's right by my house. Perhaps I should surprise you.”

“I will be soloing fri. night at the Fingerlakes Nat. forest with my dog, though I have not met Bearmagnet or anyone else on this sight I will drink to him. Though some of us are unknown to each other we are all connected who share in the love of the outdoors.”

“Rob,

Where are you camping?”

“Any of you Boneheads going to D.C. Sunday afternoon?”
