FYAO X Location...

“I past years I have poured over my maps and guide books looking for a good spot and our fearless leader and organizer never picks the spots I suggest. So this time I am going to keep my mouth shut and maybe she will pick one of the great spots I have found.”

“Who jacked up the font?”

“lol musta been me”

“This calls for research, Lt.”

“hey at least I can read it without squinting now...”

“What about water treatment on this trip? I have a MSR filter. Is water treatment necessary in winter? Are we taking snow for melting water?”

“Yes. Bring your own snow.”

“Don`t bring a water filter. It will freeze and ruin the filter. In the past we melted snow or boiled water from a nearby stream or lake.”

“Not sure if I am allowed to bring large quantaties of Swiss snow into the US?

Everybody brings their own stoves for boiling water and cooking meals or will you organise stove sharing?”

“That`s ok. The mountains should provide their own snow.

Hey, it`s snowing right now!”

“Definitely stove sharing. You will not need to bring one, Euro. You need as much space in your backpack as possible. Cold weather clothing is very bulky (mitts, parka and booties).”

“Absolutely, don-t forget the bootie.”

“Hey MarkO, say, do you have a twin brother in Bern? I think I just dated him. He looked totally like you with beard.

Are you going to wear a beard on FYAO?”

“marko is going to cook for me.
right?”

I bet it was that Tom Terrific guy.”

“I usually grow a beard for a few weeks prior to FYAO to keep warm and it looks wicked when the icicles form around the mouth.

Cook for whom?”

“The guy was really cute.”

“If MarkO cooked it, you don`t want to eat it.”

“Oh, stop it!”

“Not you, Zac.

Keep it up and I will cook you.”

“I`ll be sure to show up with my 5 day shadow.”

“I am not going to eat him.”

“I`d taste too gamy anyway.”

“On second thought (I did not get my deer this year).”

“Grem, what are you doing with those fava beans and bottle of chianti?”

“marko, jackstraw are either one of you staying at the treehouse the night before heading up?

signed, DORK”

“No worries zac. My mom used to put game overnight into buttermilk - to soften up the texture and took some of the gamy taste out of the meat. You like buttermilk?
:-)”

“I hope you all get sever indigestion. :-p”

“I like buttermilk.

Who said anything about eating Zac?

I only wanted to cook him.”

“Well, it is prudence that we should discuss who we eat in case we run out of food. I think one person should sacrify themself so that the rest of the group can survive.
I am just skin and bones. Really.”

“We could probably find a ham among this crowd.”

“I am not the other white meat.”

“Are you thinkin` about hockin` some hams?”

“marko are you ignoring me?

DORK



save some zac for me please!”
