KeeWayKeno, are you going to book the site? I'll only be there Saturday night.

Fair enough. I have never joined you guys before so just didn’t want to show up uninvited. I’m just not used to this kind of hospitality.

Didn't think reserving was necessary, can't imagine the place will be busy. Besides, I'm not 100% yet. Solo at Valens sounds a bit, I dunno, boring? A guy can only chase raccoons around for so long.

I think you spelled 'heavenly' wrong.

Hoping this Buffalo pair can finally join this crew for some frozen fun. Girlfriend is chomping at the bit to try winter hanging.

Looks like I'm in for Saturday night at Valens !

76 Highboy's map of Valens

For the newcomers, we've traditionally camped on site 134. Basically $10/car plus a site fee divided amongst the group. I'll call Valens tomorrow and give them the heads up for Saturday afternoon/night. We normally have a fire festooned with grilling meats.

I'm in for Saturday night. Forecast is for a little above freezing, but I will bring an extra underquilt for anyone anyone concerned about warmth.

I'm considering buying a 4'x10' sheet of black UHMW PE to make a toboggan, is anyone interested in splitting it 3 ways? It'll make three 8' toboggans about 15-7/8" wide. It would be $120ea if I cut it on my table saw or $135ea if they cut it. Individually it would be $180, in which case I'd rather buy the kit from Canadian Outdoor Equip. If I get 2 takers I can bring it to Valens.

I would be interested in buying a toboggan. Although I am not sure if I will be camping at Valens this weekend.

Anybody bringing a load of wood, or should I try to arrange for a trunk-load from our local firewood source?

I just checked the Valens' forecast for Saturday night and had to chuckle.
