The "Official" 2011 Southern Ruck Thread

[Sly]

I spoke with the NOC a few days ago and everything is confirmed for January 14-16 & 17.

Once again we'll be using the community building for cooking and dining, and Relia's Garden for presentations.

Since a few may not be able to make it, it's likely I'll have a few spots available in the Cabins. Cabin costs are slightly more than basecamp but include private rooms and linens. PM me if you have any interest and I'll put you on the waiting list.

I still have a couple spots to fill on the schedule. If anyone has a slideshow or presentation they'd like to present, please let me know.

OK, that will be fine, I have the room number.

For anyone else that's interested, I have a few more spaces left in the cabins for singles and couples. It's $50 per person for Friday & Sat and/or $25 for optional Sunday. The cabins are awesome, with linen, blankets, towels etc. Good times. PM me for more details.

Also, the schedule is pretty much set.

[mweinstone]

may not come if i dont have a job by rucktime.so ill have to give you the information you will need now. i call this peice, "40 ways to leave your blubber" or"how to have fun at the noc."
limit your walks up and down the hill to less than 100 times a day.
watch the moon from the top of the road beyond the last cabins where the road turns at the top and you cant see a single man made object. this is the noc's sweet spot.
allways fumble with your pack on the wall rear of the outfitter. its where nubee women hikers can be chatted up.
dry your clothes useing the hand dryer in the bathroom.or just toast them up for a morning treat.
sleep out on the deck of the mens group cabin. its where chicks come to hear dude and austin play music.
walk south on the trail from the noc to the top for the quickest best veiw.
eat at the resturaunt its really good.
hang close to sly and marsha as they rule the kingdom.
dont be affraid of the bacon portions at breakfast. this is your bacon oppurtunity nocin.
force loud snorrers out in the cold with your staff or pole as this aint hikin and they dont have dibs on your quiet.
and the number one thing to do to not loose your blubber and still have fun?


ask for more bacon even if it seems dangerous. the human body can take alot more punnishment than you think.

oh, allmost forgot. get up at 530 am to see lwolf in his prime. hes up, showered, beard trimmed, freashly jogged and a hell of a dead baby joke teller.
have fun!

Sly,
Thank you so much for putting this together again! I would love to come down for a day maybe on Friday or Sat. I would love to just help, or if you need a presentation my hubby and I did 4 trails in Europe this summer and we have some awesome pics if you need to fill a spot.
Thanks!
