Cabin Swank 2010 - Poll for Possible Dates - Page 3

innerSpaceman · 04-21-2009, 02:26 PM

And if it's likely we'd do Cabin Swank and Swank Camp in one year, may I ask where this year's Swank Camp is?

Uh-huh. Thought so.

Cadaverous Pallor · 04-21-2009, 03:42 PM

I prefer one large event to two smaller ones.

That said - it's next to impossible to get me motivated to plan something this far in advance. With Coachella and MA that time of year I don't want to commit to anything until dates are solid.

I think Snowflake was merely funnin'. Or at least I hope so.

Ya know, 27 Lash Planning threads and all.

That said, I don't ever want to do Yosemite during official "winter" again. Too many good trails are closed. Those open can be treacherous. I would never have missed the Ice Steps of Death Adventure, but I've no desire to repeat it.

I don't know Steve, where is it?

Well, I've been trying to plan a trip to McArthur-Burney Falls this year. I was hoping to do it earlier (like June-ish) but based on availability, I'm currently considering the weekend of September 11th.

I'd already planned to invite a few people to join me, so I'm perfectly cool with opening that up as a full on Swank Camp. Still, at that, it should get its own thread and not interfere with the cabin plans.

People camp in Hawai'i.

Just saying.

only 27? We were supposed to have at least 30.

Is there beach camping in Hawaii? Volcano camping perhaps? Or is it all tropical jungle camping? How boring.

Before we embark on a full-out snarkfest, let me assert without any sarcasm whatsoever ... that I believe Cabin Swank and Swank Camp within the same season of prime Spring are mutually exclusive, as a practical matter.

And that's fine. I'm sure I'm not the only one who found cabin prep a welcome relief of workload from camp prep ... and that cabin work was plenty enuf, thanks.

Camping has certain pros and cons, cabin life likewise. I was simply suggesting we alternate ... because it's highly unlikely both will happen in a single season.

I'm also suggesting we needn't decide now. Donna's exhuberance is understandable, considering the circumstances. But I think planning next year's wilderness adventure is a tad premature.

Well, I'm glad to know that all of the cabin prep you did - like all of those meals you made - was easy with your busy schedule.

Well, don't you worry your pretty little head over the planning because shockingly, I think we have absolutely NO problem making plans without your input!

I think we should go to Bryce Canyon, which has potential for both rustic cabin and actual camping.
