The club now owns a dome tent. Clearly we
need to use it.
This trip is highly experimental - if I
could
it would have radioactive signs
all over it and numerous fire exits.
Things you should know:
1. I have never used a dome tent.
2. This might be the dome tent's first
excursion.
3. I think it's gonna be F*cking awesome.
Okay - here's the plan:
1. Either Friday night or Saturday morning we
will drive out to whatever
mountains likely have the best snow.
2. If we drive out Friday night, we'll then
sleep in cars/ditches/tents on
the side of the road or at a hostel if there's
one conveniently located.
3. Saturday morning, we divy up pieces of the
dome tent, load ourselves down
with food and wine and then head off into the
mountains. This could be
horrible - I've never carried a 40lb tent
before.
4. Find a likely campsite, dump all of our
gear. This could be really
difficult, the tent is literally 5m in
diameter.
5. Shred the gnar if our legs still work.
6. Come back to camp, set up personal tents for
sleeping and the giant dome
for communal purposes. I have no idea how to
set it up. Sleeping in the dome
is also a possibility.
7. Dome tent party - we'll bring lights, music,
food and stuff to drink. This
will interfere with sleeping in the dome.
8. Wake up Sunday morning, reinvigorated by a
night of shedding our cares.
9. Shred the gnar.
10. Pack up camp, ski back to cars. Could be
horrible again since we're still
carrying a gigantic frickin tent.
11. Bask in our own awesomeness.
