Did I sat we broke two poles?, ripped a 2x4 hole in the tents side. All four of our sleeping bags were full of sand. Boy...Thats sand gets into EVERYTHING!!!!! Got to go on one of Chuys nite runs. no FTFs though. But did get a surprise!!!!!! I am so glad I didin't have to use my tow straps to get ME out. Glad we had them. The birthday went as good as it could have with the breeze we had. I would like thank Fattboy for his special song. Met Mrs. Skillet...I never knew he was married. She's really cool. Oh Ya.... Picked up a couple of bags of trash and one cache went missing. As again as last year....With all that went awry. I don't think I would change anything, Well maybe some more rain. Would like to thank Skillet for the use of the lovely facilities. Pictures to follow as soon as Heidi learns how to do it. Edited April 16, 2007 by DaMoores Quote Link to comment

+Chuck B Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 When I went over to my tent to go to bed the wind was blowing so hard it had moved the tent about two or three feet even though it was tied to my truck by three ropes. It had already broken one pole which we fixed. I decided then I would sleep better in the truck, so took blanket and pillow and slept in the passenger seat with it put all the way down. I also had dropped the tent, so it wouldn't blow away or create more damage. In the morning it had a lot of sand inside. Quote Link to comment

+The Lost Clan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I just wanted to say what a great time I had with the SDCET this weekend. This was my first CITO and campout (although I couldn't spend the night), and I really enjoyed it. Many thanks to SKILLET for the hospitality, the food, and the tour, and also to Team Adelos and Chuy for the rides. You guys really made me feel welcome, and it was great to meet some more cachers from SD and some from out of state too. I hope to see you all again soon! Quote Link to comment
+W9JIM Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Posted this in the SD Thread too. We all know the Fattboy had a bit of a problem in the sand on Saturday. That evening he claimed that he was, in fact, NOT stuck. I have video that proves that he wasn't. . And a photo. Jim - W9JIM Quote Link to comment
