    Default Cabin Fever 2011

    http://coord.info/GC2KV4Z

    I have written my letter to Camden State Park requesting the weekend of January 14th to 16th for the Cabin Fever Event. For those who are not familiar with this, it's a winter camping experience not to be forgotten. Watch the date carefully, there is a chance I may not get the weekend I requested. My second choice was the following weekend.

    January 4th = I've got confirmation from Camden State Park and we have the cabin booked for the weekend of January 21st to 23rd.

    I tried to make this last year . . . by sled . . . but broke down . . . the only time my beloved Skidoo left me stranded in the woods . . . newer sled this year . . . if there is snow I may try coming in by sled to say hi.

    I got mine at Aubuchon http://outdoor-living.hardwarestore....ed-147520.aspx

    Almost any cheap sled will work, but if you get a wider one, it might not tip over as easily. A smaller one will keep you from taking too much gear.
    The farmer gave permission to place the cache in the field, but the bull charges.

    Yup TAT - right on!

    That's the one I got (last year) and with some parachute type cord wound through the holes (I think I got that there - or at the Hardware store at the end of Exchange Street - used to be Bangor Hardward/believe not Aubuchon anyway), some bungies (if the sled people don't have any - try the hardware store near Blue Seal Feeds N Needs, or Blue Seal or Marden's) and a few knots in the rope (opps - maybe I got the rope at Ocean State Job Lot) - I was good to go. This year I am considering the blue (or other colored) tarp wrap of everything in the sled before bungying it down into the sled.

    I have gone through my list of gear - ready and waiting to hear the "real date"..............
