    I'll be unavailable until next Monday night (1/20) as this weekend is my annual winter camping trip in the Adirondack mountains. This year we are backpacking into the Pharoah Mountain area with hopes to climb both Pharoah and another peak.

    Expected temperature on Saturday night -10 degrees.

    My idea of "roughing it" is staying at a hotel that doesn't have 24-hour room service... but hey, Have Fun!!

    my idea of "roughing it" is to be without a computer for more than a day.

    Yeah Bribo is gonna make his tent out of a snow bank in the middle of a frozen wasteland. Hey Bribo, penguin man, don't let your pe-pe freeze and break off.

    Stay warm Brother!

    right now average temp is about -15, but I could see how it would be cold in a tent, personaly I think camping in the winter would be fun

    Bribo, Let me be the first to tell you that you are getting to old for this camping and hiking stuff at 10 below zero. I don;t need the health insurance at work to go up any more due these kind of childish activities. Or read about you on the intranet. If your career dream is being a popicle then OK, but things will break off at these temps. Things that already are feeling their bittle age. Oh, yea, BTW, Have fun and bring the pager to keep warm...

    It was -20 degrees Friday night. Two of our three stoves mulfunctioned due to the cold. Lighters would not light. We had all we could do just to stay warm.

    What a great trip!

    Squid man, you had to go there and say that. Spoon.... oh man, now I won't be able to look at Bribo without laughing now.

    Hey Bri, welcome back, glad to see you didn't become one with the tundra. Or frozen to the tundra, however you want to look at it.

    Catch ya later.

    Make sure you say that first thing when you see him at work.

    A new nickname is born.
