Lantern are ready, filled, wicks trimmed (two of them were giving me trouble, hope this fixes it) and globes cleaned.

I always feel better after my globes are clean.

Just did that on mine. Got the correct wicks for the Super Babies so they don't jam up like the others were doing. I got a set for you too Hammy. They need 5/16" wicks instead of the 3/8". Now my wick slides nice and smooth.

Spiffy and I are...but from Maupin...I would "guess" at least Bob and Jasan are meeting up Friday am...if you talk really nice to them, they might tell you where they are meeting.

I want in on the meetup too. I'm planing on a very early start Friday.

I won't be rolling in until either way past dark Friday or early Saturday. My work schedule got bounced around, and since I didn't specifically *ask* for Friday off (I was off work that day for *years*) ... I don't get it off.

Gotta remember to go sausage shopping before I hit the road too...

How 'bout meeting here...

In Alice's Country Market parking lot.

How early are you guys thinking?

I also think for us coming in from the North that it would be easier to get onto 35 and take 48 south instead of staying on 26 and turning off on 43. Might cut down on some of the gravel roads. 48 is paved until we would cut off onto 3530. It's also two miles shorter believe it or not. The 26 route is more direct for Mark coming in from the south. What say the masses.

I may be able to go. Looking like about a 75% chance. What should I bring & be prepared for?

Well here's the weather report for the weekend. Looks like we might just get lucky 'till Sunday.

Weather. Hunger. Thirst. Pottie needs. We all usually come pretty self-sufficient...but it typically ends up to be a 72 hour food / drink / fire / fun sharing weekend. Lots of dutch oven fare going by several of us, sausages....bring sausages. Could / will get chilly at night. Small propane heater is handy in your bus to take the chill off before you go to bed and before you crawl out. Pretty much standard late-season camping stuff. Prepare for cold and wet...but it's supposed to be pretty nice. Oh, gifts for everyone are expected

Hope you can make it Randy!

Where's that vasoline pic when ya need it?

Let me see when I can split town on Friday. TBD.

I haven't spent much time in that area so it's all good to me. 48 reminds me of 46 in the Clackamas. High country.

Goneaaa be a hell of a rendezzvooose. If you miss it then you only have yourself and fate to blame. It would be a death-bed-regret. And our last shot before the Ice Fairies.
