Eagle Lake Excursion

Cash only, yes?

I do believe so. Cash is king out in the woods anyways  

Where are u thinking camping on first night? Just a thought maybe the big pit on the adom dam rd

Are you guys taking auto fluids ( coolant, gear/crankcase oil, etc. ) with you? I'm preparing an ammo can with some, just wondering?

Pack light... skip the coolant.

Reasoning: you can put water in the radiator, but you can't drink coolant.

Bring the other fluids (plus funnels or tubes to get them in into where they need to be).

Prolly a quart of oil, tranny fluid, power steering fluid, and a bottle of brake fluid. All of which are normally stowed thru-out the Jeep.

So is it the " Gang of Four ", it's less than a week away. I'm not bringing my stove, but will bring the lantern with extra stubbies of propane. Also, should I pick up paper plates w/ plasticwear for all of us?

I've taken the 24th off so I can relax and load up, then I'll head on out to Wayne,Me at 2ish, should be at Jareb's between 5:30-6:00.

Jareb thanks for the overnight stay!

Is there a good breakfast place in Wayne before we head out?

Me still in don't worry about plates I'll have plenty my dad retired from chinet we do use real siverware and wash them not sure what the others do

Also, I'm bringing my " Sasquatch Stick " that should keep them entertained!

Strictly for communication purpose's only!

I'm fully self sustained with cookware and cutlery. I can bring my dual burnah stove.

I hope everyone has a 2009 Maine Atlas & Gazetteer.

Carlo, I have an excellent place to enjoy breakfast Thursday mernin
You'll also be able to join me in some Fire Department activities Wednesday night

I bought my Maine Gazetteer last year, should be current.

Ah Breakfast, Who ordered the Lumberjack special????, This GUY!

Cool, Fire Dept. activities, do I get to switch on the lights & siren???

Awesome self containment Jareb!

We'll discuss the trip over some IPA's Wednesday evening, can't wait!

Jeep's all set, replaced rear u-joints, topped off fluids, mounted recovery gear & petrol can, camping gear packed, tools also, waiting on a Rain-X 36x36x18 roof bag, being delivered tomorrow ( Amazon Prime Rocks! ) the bag will keep my stuff dry and organized!

Looking forward to this excursion!

Is that Hi-Lift securely mounted? I still want yer J-truck  

yes, yes it is my friend

Have ya thought about putting some cargo on the passenger side to help distribute the load? That would greatly improve the handling characteristics.

Yes I have, when I load up I'll be placing tools ( two Ammo boxes ) and other heavies on the right side, camping gear on the left. I should fine load wise

I've placed the hi-lift & jerry can ( all of which is 70#, once Gerry can is filled ) on my side so I have an clear range of sight though the deluxe clear plastic window when I need to back up and view on coming traffic!

Just been on NOAA ( according Aroostock airport ), we should have great weather during this excursion!

The next few days they'll have some T-Storm action there, but it'll clear out once we arrive on Thursday, plus, with all of the down pours they've been getting, the ground should be moderately saturated, less dusty, Maybe??

Yes, yes you can  

I'll be tossing the RTT on my RT today with the help of Mr. Mike. May try and fab up a quick awning set-up today too. Otherwise I just hafta pack up and I should be ready to go....

I scored the whole week off from the summer job!

So I won't driving my Jeep till Wednesday afternoon ( If there's a reason to leave earlier I can   ) . Jeep's all set, so is my gear & fluid/tools,

Jareb is there an W-Mart ( need propane cylinders,etc. ) that would on my way to Wayne?

Or would we stop at one Thursday morning after our most excellent breakfast?!


Is everyone ready to roll out on Thursday????

Awesome!

Indian Trading post it is, is the Trading Post in the Twenty First Century ( I. E. Debit Card )
or Cash only?

Cash or charge. Have cash on you for the woods tho.

I plan on it!
