- 50m rope
- Harness
- Climbing shoes
- Many caribeaners, some accessory cords, 1 ATC
- No helmets or chalk
- Mark Peters is coming?
Cliff Jumping
There are some cliffs worth jumping off of and probably some worth diving off of. We'll just need to find them ourselves.
Fishing
Misc
- Brendan's axe and hatchet
- Brendan's drawing chalk
- Tarps, rope, tent pegs will be brought by various people (inc. Brendan's giant one)
- Brendan's dice
Still needed
Needed:
- A largeish grill that can be put atop a firepit
- Brendan has one but its quality and size is suboptimal
Dustin's Remarks
Have any input, Dusty?
Activities
Since it is Spring and if you guys get bored sitting around the campsite their are many things away from the campsite worthwhile.
-There is always the cliff jumping lake you could go to. It is to the south of the campsite. The portage is a bit of a workout but it's not that painful.
- Mark How high are the cliffs? will it be worth it? Do you have detailed instructions?
- Dustin I think they are anywhere between 20 - 35'. This is just a guess. The last time I was there was 2005. Please check for depth. Look at the placemark on my map for it's location.
- Mark How high are the cliffs? will it be worth it? Do you have detailed instructions?
-At the far south end of the lake their is a river with some nice waterfalls. It is spring now so the river is flowing xtra fast. It would be worthwhile to head down there for a day if you have time.
-The caves and crevases are also fun at the northwest end of the lake (where we went last Sept. long).
- Boehrb: I definitely want to explore some caves.
- Boehrb: Dusty, do you know of any Indian paintings or "spooky" sites nearby?
- Boehrd: There is a island to the south that was said to have native petroform on it at one time. I think since then they have been moved. Other then that the caves are very mysterious, and the falls at the south end of the lake must have been a well known place for the local natives at one time.
Final Remarks
Please park the vehicles above the bridge so that other vehicles can pass.
