    Temagami?!? Awesome!

    Now it's up to our resident Temagami cartographer Iguana to research all sources to devise a multi-day canoe route worthy of the most adventurous marshmallows amongst us. My only requirement is "fun", "good times" and no small measure of "sweat".

    That being said, we should take care not to confuse the Valens and the Temagami hang threads. I barely remember which shoe I have on which foot.

    I take it Temagami is a consideration for Summer/Fall trip? If that is for the trout trip, that might put ice out a bit further along as it's so far North. Wish I hadn't cheaped out on the Temagami map at the symposium now.

    I think we were talking Temagami for the EGL Fall 2020 hang. Spring for me means "no bugs", "trout", "long portages" and the rare "Scottish trout" (hint, hint).

    Merry Christmas to all celebrating in the EGL gang and extended forum friends!
    Hope you all got some nice new hanging/camping gear in your stockings and under the tree.

    Don't think I can make the Jan 10th "Tacos from the Burrito" event due to a work conflict.

    Enjoy the fire, but spread out your hammocks and lift a corner of your tarp a bit if refried beans are served!

    Got my fingers crossed you get snow!

    I was just talking with Pit Master Jiblets.

    As of now, we're aiming to have the main hoe-down on Saturday Jan 11. The smoker will likely be running all day, so it's up to the us to bring whatever meat we want to eat and/or/and share. Of course Jiblets can only do so much in the smoker at one time, but grilling over the open fire is, of course, a welcome option. If your can bring whatever roadkill you can drag in by mid-afternoon, we'll be sure to cook it up right. Don't forget to bring whatever sauces you want to go along with your roasted beast.

    Frankly, if there's one thing I've learned about the EGL crew, is that no one's against tucking into a rack of ribs at 11 pm. Call it a bedtime snack to ward off the cold; something about digestion, fat and all that. If anyone so much as dares to mention the word "salad", there'll be hell to pay!

    Mexican's still the theme of the weekend, but honestly, who's ever really had a belly full of tacos that couldn't have been made better with a dripping rack of ribs. Ola! As before, I'll drop by our firewood bro Brian and grab a trunk-full, but likely we'll need a little more.

    My bib is ironed and ready to go! And on top of it all, our early Feb winter-camping expedition is right around the corner. We really should nail down some dates: how about Feb 8th?

    I'm so stoked!!!

    Should we start a separate topic for the Feb trip planning/details?

    I've got a lamb loin roast ready for the smoker. Heading to the grocery store tonight to eye up various other types of roadkill. I'll look into taco type options too. I've found sprouts a lot better than lettuce on tacos so I'll bring some of those. I'll probably be up Saturday with the Pittsburgh crew. They look forward to the Canada hangs.

    "Should we start a separate topic for the Feb trip planning/details?" - Yes, lets start planning. If anyone is interested there's a PA hang Jan 31-Feb 2.
