Toboggans suck when they are used/abused the way we used them. You cannot strap 25 liters of Summit(Bummit) wine to them and expect them to "behave" as they are dragged across the slope of a ridge. Ropes were needed on front and rear to keep toboggans and people towing them from sliding downhill, out of control. On the hike in, several river crossings had to be made. On one of them, the plastic shovel falls into the river and floats downstream. Dave & "Murray" quickly take a milk crate, tie rope to it and throw it at the shovel. They caught it!! On one of the crossings, Murray had made it across, while the brothers Rockwood planned a prank on opposite bank. Steve made up a snowball and Mike inserted a firecracker into it.(Snow Grenade) Steve cocked his arm while Mike lit the fuse. Steve threw it across river at Murray. It landed at his feet and blew up. This startled Murray who tripped and fell on his back looking like a turtle. Even Murray thought this was amusing! Of the 25 liters of wine brought in, maybe three were consumed. Not sure why so much was brought in. First hatchet throwing contest. Pringles lid was target. Jay threw Murray's ax and lost it in the snow. While the group was searching for it, Billy pulled his "I piss on thee!!!" act. Throughout the course of the weekend, various items disappeared. They were found when camp was broken up in Jay's corner of the tent. Hmmmmm....... One of the items lost, was Dave's fork. "LIP RIPPER" makes its appearance and is coined by Dave. It rains this weekend. A suspended tarp keeps everyone mostly dry. In the morning, Dave is getting warmed by the fire. Billy, notes that the tarp has a "belly" of water collected in it. Thinking he was doing a good thing, begins to push on belly to get water off of tarp. The water flows directly at Dave and dumps right on top of him. Everyone was amused, except Dave. Great rendition of the Doobie Brothers song, Black Water, is delivered around camp fire. It turns out, we camped right on the trail. We are visited by other hikers including a woman hiker that could have played linebacker. "Booger Beans" Enough said! Black Smoke" We are very poor environmentalists!!!
