    I believe we can roll up and hang, yet those that have booked the sites must register and pick up their respective name tags.

    Tracker is a large, expensive knife. Tracker owners gather together and talk about their knives for hours. One second you could be talking to fallkniven or monkeynono about continuous ridgelines, when suddenly the conversation will turn to Tracker, and non-Tracker owners will feel themselves getting very drowsy, in danger of falling into a comatose state.

    Sometimes the victims can be shaken out of their stupor by someone yelling "TRACKER" as loudly as possible. It is only a temporary fix. If you can't get the conversation changed to a non-Tracker topic, your best bet is to high-tail it to another campfire without delay.

    Yes, for those that didn't book a site, you can show up pretty much whenever on Friday. Since there's likely not a lot of site reservations ending on a Thursday that we'll need to wait to clear out, chances are you'll arrive to a mostly empty camp. However I'd suggest you wait to actually start setting up gear until noon, just to be sure/proper.

    I'd avoid setting anything up in or around the group site until NJR and I get there to figure out where we'll situate the kitchen, and I'd potentially steer clear of site 9 (in the back corner) unless we absolutely need it, as that's the one that is booked by someone outside our group for Saturday, and I'd hate for people to have to move their setup Saturday morning.

    Would rather we debate the existence of the word "nothing " and how it contradicts itself?

    Likely show up just after noon on Friday and grab a nap.

    We could instead discuss Silvr's use of "afternoon nap" when he posted at 5:22pm. At what point does afternoon transition into evening, exactly?

    I think most people would generally agree that afternoon begins at 12:01pm (literally after noon) and "night" begins at sundown, but when afternoon ends and evening begins is a bit of a hot button debate.

    If one lays down in their hammock at 5:30, is that a late afternoon nap, or an early evening nap? Inquiring minds want to know!
