New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

Definitely looking forward to the next one (and sticking around longer )

 

I was hoping to see you yesterday and wish you a happy birthday...
I guess I can do it here.

Happy birthday good Sir!

 

Thanks buddy. I was still exhausted from Friday. After getting back home super late and going to a ceremony for my son. I only had 3.5 hours of sleep and then had to drive to Buffalo that night.

 

Sounds like you could use a day off, get some rest when you can try not to drive to tired.
You know how dangerous that can be...

What do y'all think of a day on the water? This was Mr. Farts idea and I think it looks like it could be lots of fun. As of now planning this for 8/13 or 8/14. Read thru and let's hear some thoughts.

I did this years ago. We did the whitewater rafting thing.

 

I'm down. Just remind me to bring sunblock.

 

And a hat for those of us with shiny heads

 

I'm bringing my boonie or a ball cap. The top of my head is peeling from when I washed/detailed my truck.

 

Yeah my last day on the water I wore a long sleeve under armour. I usually only go out for an hour or two, I don't worry about that. But a whole day I go full Canadian.

 

Never go full Canadian...ever

 

That sounds like fun! I know we were trying to plan this in N Conway some time ago.

 

I got extra boonie hats from work I can bring. Definitely sounds like fun.

I think I have an extended weekend so I might take it as an excuse to head somewhere but august heat kind of sucks to sleep in a tent.. so I’m down to be on the water lol

 

Could kip up at the airfield in Somerset VT, might be toasty but usually at night it dips pretty comfortably.

 

NETW camp out at Somerset Airfield?

 

Yeah I am considering thereabouts. Any reason to do the airfield versus some of the dispersed camping in the area?

 

The airfield is dispersed, free, ....and I know about it that's the only reason why - also there's a reservoir there we could paddle about in on the second day or whatever the schedule is. Just a thought.

I'm not attached to anything really.

 

OHhhh like a kayak destination.

I use iOverlander to find dispersed camping. It's an app I use on the phone (theres a website too I think), crowd-sourced info. Very useful as when I went to Utah it helped us find places to stay but even like where to refill water. I just look for the icon with a tent with the moon over it. People post pics.

There's one spot thats like a bald with 12 spots? I chickened out after the first half were during Memorial Day weekend and the trail got really rough *for me* as I was going in solo.

 

Anyone wanna come to my place and help me finish rclt install? LOL

 

Depending on when and where you live I like wrenching.

If not me I'll bet someone close will give you a hand.

Do you have everything or waiting on parts?
