Just surprising.

Sue said we need a name for our mascot like punxatawney phil

Winchester Willy
Grafton Gabe

Ashuelot Archie
Winnipesaukee Willy
Needlermeier

Should I split this into its own topic?

[Russell Kanning]

I would like to be part of this histrionic occasion.

I will put you down for attending .... and unless we hear differently .... put you down for bringing drinks and a really big cooler.

Yes, that would be good. I will be attending from the 17th to the 28th.
I think our mascots name should be Anarchy Al=He's not the governments pal.

I probably won't be able to get up there much to help with any
of the work, but I could send a donation.

Thanks to Puke for helping me so much with the cute little burning porc logo he made.    I know I was probably being a pain

Not as much as some clients I've had.
Mainly it's that I use programs and file formats that are not always compatible with other programs.

Perhaps there could be a hiking trip at a near-by mountain.  I certainly noticed this mountain when I was in Grafton in 2005.

Mount Cardigan - Canaan     
Round-trip distance: 3 miles / Round-trip time: 2.5 hrs / Elevation: 3121'
This hike is a moderate hike well worth the effort in summer or fall. The trails from the Canaan side are the easiest route to the summit. Reach this trail by traveling to Canaan on Route 4. Turn north on Route 118 and take a right on the road to Orange. Travel straight over a bridge, and then take a right at a fork in the road. This is Grafton Road and you'll stay on this road for about a mile, when at another fork in the road, you'll turn left to the entrance for Cardigan State Park. A mile road leads to the parking and picnic areas.

The marked West Ridge Trail starts just past the picnic table area and you'll ascend at an easy pace. You'll pass two springs, and after these, keep left past the South Ridge Trail to a side climb with outlooks to the right. Soon, you'll rejoin the West Ridge Trail, and pass the Skyline Trail. Stay on the West Ridge Trail and pass a footbridge, two branch trails, and a shelter area. The route leads to beautiful views of the surrounding area.

[Kat Kanning]

Huh, what about the giant ediface they've built in the woods??

[Pat K]

Bush pinata night?

[Russell Kanning]

We started cleaning up the "amphitheater" this morning.
We also cleared a path to the creek and walked it. What a great way to cool off. There is some sort of bridge or dam remnants near the fire pit area.
