EDIT: See post further below for specific dates, time, etc! This post is not 100% up to date in places. ~Kiril

Cultas Lake OR Manning Park... TBA

The dates are still wonky but I propose we go on a weekend, from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon (get back by the evening).

Yes, we may be removed from the comfort of our computers and clean toilet bowls, BUT it's time to embrace your inner druid.

To entice the weary:
Fireballs... erm, I mean firepits,
Stargazing (no, that's not Kathulu),
Tree climbing,
Yumyums in your tumtum,
Sand castle making,
Disco twister on elevation,
Potential waterslides,
And more!

We should probably make a base fee of around $30-50 so we can buy food in bulk and to rent the camping grounds (depends on how many people go). I'll try to see if we can get grants from the sfss to cover such costs. In regards to the food, we can try to cover the major food groups but it would be nice if everyone brought some form of dish or packaged goods (ex. sausages & bananas).

I'll start a list when we roughly know who might be interested and what yumyums to bring =D (please tell me if you have any allergies!)

With bundles of excitement,

Chi

------------------------------------

Note:

The following are events are OPTIONAL but not endorsed by the ARC or mandatory:

Tent sex with Tarek
Larping with Chi
Mahjong with Tin
and bear hunting

It's like a Lan party without electricity. =)

In the place of sand castles I suggest we make sand vaginas:

I'm scared about your specific mentioning of sausages and bananas. Why is all the food long and cylindrical?

I might be able to swipe some camping equipment from my parents.

Ahahaa. You can make whatever you want out of sand, just please don't try to preserve it and if your junk gets stuck somewhere... well the ARC is not liable for bodily harm or loss of genitals.

As for the bananas and sausages, I totally didn't notice >< Those just happened to be the first items of food I thought about. Ahem.

I'm down with the clown, and by "clown" I mean "camping". I've got a (sex) tent and stove to share. Must bring your own weapons.

Count in Jesse and I. Let me know the date in advance and I can book it off hopefully. We probably won't have our own transportation, but I may be able to contribute tents and mattrasses if you can get us up there. Jesse might go into computer withdrawl, but that's ok. It just adds to his character.

Well as far as equipment I have: A 6 person tent that comfortably sleeps 5, a pup tent that sleeps 2 sort of, a propane lantern and stove, a full set of cooking uttentsils, a cannopy, plenty of tarps, hatchet, axe, shovel, a full set of plastic plates/implements that work great for camping, plenty of mattresses, and a set of marshmellow/weenie roasters.

Basically anything you could need to get 4 people camping, and a truck to dive it all up in :D

Oh, theres also firewood if the campsite dosen't sell it :O

Cultus is going to be packed more than Bob Saget's anus at an America's Funniest Home Videos fandom covention hotel bathroom minus the rectally injected speedballs.

HAPPY CAMPERS

SUCCESS! We have successfully secured three camping sites (Four people each) near each other:

Place: Maple Bay, Cultas Lake
Date: August 17th - 19th (two nights, three days); Monday - Wednesday
Time: Let's all meet at SFU at 800hrs (which really means 900hrs) on the 17th. We must leave the campsite by 11am on the 19th.

How: I believe that Tammy, Tyler and Andrei are driving. May you three please tell me how many seats are available? If we have more than one car per camp site, I believe that it is an additional $10/night (which we can cover if necessary)!

Price: FREE
Your hard cooking mama labour has been fruitful! They have yet to determine how much grant money the SFSS can fork over but the camping sites have been paid for and hopefully we can cover some basic food groups. Drivers, I am looking at getting you guys some gas money and for depending on whether people want to go to the water slides, you might have to purchase your own admission.

Food: It would be wonderful if everyone could please pitch in and bring some food for our trip. I'll start a new thread so we don't have oodles of people bringing the same food (unless it's TRIX).

---

For those that want to take a closer look, we booked them through discover BC; Itinerary ID: 2925625

---

The camp site is supposed to hold a dozen people but in the event that we have more than that number, may the stealthy please ninja it and volunteer to hide in the trunk/gear compartments when we're checking in? =)

For the weary: They do have washrooms nearby.

Since we have to leave by the afternoon on last day, I propose we spend it at the cultas lake water slides =) It is about $25/person but once we have a more distinct number on how many people are coming, we can look at potential group rates and other lalas.

(Please check the forums periodically for updates)

Sorry for editing your first post Chi Chi, but just in case people hadn't been following or missed out on that post later on.
