Penn's Clave 2005--Dates and Details

About the only good that came of last weekend's stay in Coburn was the chance
to sit down with Rudy and reserve space for Penn's Clave V. I have ALL cabins
reserved for the dates of May 28(Sat) to June 4(Sat). This time period will
encompass Memorial Day, and more than likely, Full Drake Madness. It will NOT
encompass either the birthdays of my spouse or Seideman's, nor Reid's
anniversary, so new excuses will have to be accumulated to miss those social
events, if so desired.
We have the following cabins definite: A six man, recently upgraded cabin, a 4
to 5 person cabin, with new deck, and a two man cabin. Rudy is constructing 4
new full-service cabins in the spring. Whether any or all will be ready for the
clave is very iffy. Needless to say, there may well be trailer space
available(a couple are for sale in the campground, as well), along with tenting
and RV space to beat the band. If possible, try to figure out cabin needs or
interests, and get back to me.
The cabins are $60 for the biggest, $50 for the 4/5 man, and $40 for the little
cabin. Deposit for the week is one night's stay, but as we are booked for a
whole week, it will be only 6 nights rent to stay 7 nights.
Finally, a quick update on the bear situation. Sightings and encounters have
been nearly non-existent for a few weeks. Rudy has warnings to take care, and
not feed them. I figure by next spring, there will be NO problem, as I must
have spoken to six or seven guys with Bear Permits applied for in camp already.
EMail me with any questions,etc.

"Nearly" non-existent? Um.....didn't I read about a bear sighting at
Hemlock acres right here in ROFF within the last week or so?

who knows that near is a rather indefinite term.

Yes, consider the term "near beer," for example.

Around here, it is said the the guy who named "near beer" was a damn
poor judge of distance!

that was by Frank, and he was on his third beer by then, and thus,
unreliableg....along with his, there have only be two sightings in about 5
weeks!

Hmmm, before I even mentioned it to Rudy, he stated that they'd not seen
a bear in 5 weeks and that one showed up Thursday evening in the same
area I spotted him (i.e. the tenting area). I wasn't that far into the
cups (yet) when he ran through there.
Rudy, by the way, blamed the bears on me. He's reading ROFF now. He
knew Tom and I were coming up so he unplugged the bear fence to ensure
we had some good stories.
By the way, Rudy, you're slippin'. Steve used to bring out some women's
volleyball team from that little, podunk school over in State College
whilst the ROFFians were in town. Work on it.

Well, OK, but that begs the question, "How far do you have to be into
the cups to start seeing things?"

Oh, sure, blame it on some poor lurker...I'll bet y'all were seeing rock
bears, wood bears, leaf bears, shadow bears, and tree bears, amongst
others...

Um, careful what you ask for...

Whatdayaknow...my SO was offered a scholarship to Penn State (volleyball
and track, IIRC AND scholastic) as well as where she ultimately went
(but she did especially like the School of Journalism there)...and SOME
of you guys would probably be safer hoping for the bear to show up
instead of the team...

Sounds as if you drunk most of it anyway. Run out of sauce? That might also
at least partly explain, if not excuse, your generally obnoxious
lubriciousness, not to mention the smell. Seems you are using the stuff on
the wrong end. Although who can tell what causes a slimey arsehole?
Or a coarse packet generally?

Bye bye dicky, do have a nice day, ( but keep an eye out for errant
thunderclouds).
