3 miles and it is a group site, so water etc. is not a problem. A $2 per person registration fee is welcomed. A lot of money was put into this weekend.

We might have some fun stuff available for us. Until then, that is all I can say.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to clear something up before we go, I DO NOT SNORE!, I'ts Kevin, he's a ventriloquist snor'er, so it just sounds like I'm snoring, just kidding, if this thread keeps going it may end up as long as the one on Chaff, about Carbon Flame Wars.

I camped next to Jack lat year. His first words to me the next morning were, who won? I think he is implying that I snore.

Andrea and I were off to the the other side of Jack last year. Good earplugs + double wall tent = only heard him when we hit the bathroom early AM.

And it was a pleasure to meet him.

So don't let any potential nocturnal symphony scare you away from a great trip.

In the Sierras I'd imagine a good snorer would help scare bears away, or, on the other hand, bring on some aggressive bear mating. Who would be more surprised when a hot-to-trot bear peels back the sleeping bag – Jack or the bear?

Perhaps this year someone will collect video evidence of "who won."

in the Sierra's it may scare bears, but it will keep you awake. Jack and I are like dueling banjos…loud

Ya know Jack, we are teasing my friend!

I guess it's been lucky experience that I've never missed the ear-plugs that I wasn't carrying.
Being new here I'm not quite sure what to expect, but at least I know to pack some plugs!
Looking forward to meeting you all.

Ya know what's funny, is when I'm at high altitude I don't snore as loud, or as much, so I've been told, go figure!
If you guys want, I can stop by Harbour Freight and pick up a 50 gallon drum of ear plugs for evreyone, HA! HA! Ken I'll take Legend, sounds good to me, almost as good as my other title SUPERMAN! able to stop bear's with a single breath! snoring that is.

Sleep at your own risk you've been forewarned!!!

I prefer to just bring a pair of vise-grips. Lock those tightly around a snorer's nose and they stop snoring. Guaranteed!

You mean I am not the only one to carry baby vise- grips in my pocket? I usually leave them in the car while on the trail, but,then again…

Here is a lighter, just as effective alternative:paper clip

Not sure why I'm offering that info … seeing that I'm likely to be one other those banished to the far side of the campsite. But then I'm told that I'm more recently just a shadow of my previous rumbling self … the fact that I no longer fall asleep in fear of my wife's elbows would seem to confirm that.

ok thats it
im going to bring some construction orange marking paint and i will mark a section
away from all the non snorers and label it on the ground as (snoring section only)
if you snore and want a designated site let me know and ill spray an outline on the ground where your tent/tarp/bivy needs to go and if you want it custom ill spray your name on the inside of the outline

no pliers or clips required

LOL

I think the state park people would be particularly upset if somebody used real paint. They will approve it only if they hear the snoring at park headquarters.

I resent this witch hunt against us "known" snorer's. How dare you all single us out and subject us to unfair conditions….why I oughta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between Jack and myself we can out snore anyone!

PostedJan 28, 2011 at 6:12 pm

maybe we just need some small signs reading

I SNORE THEREFORE I AM and hang them on the tents of the known snorers in the group

lol

"Only real men snore"

That's funny, I thought it was real women who snored. They even wrote a song about it:

I am woman, hear me snore
In volume too loud to ignore
And I snore too much to go back an' pretend……

No need for signs. Audible noises will emanate from the tents! And after all this talk, no one will have heard a thing.
