FibArk anyone?

[Storm11]

Anybody heading up to FibArk this weekend? I'm heading up to meet up with some rafting buddies in Canon City, but as of right now I don't have any kayakers going...anybody want to meet up and go run some shit?

Probably looking to do some laps on the Numbers and Royal Gorge and wouldn't be opposed to Browns (morning or evening run), Pinnacle or Pine Creek.

I'm not a boater - (but sometimes a viewer), look me up for a beer after work at Bongo Billy's in Salida or somethin.

[Stone-Free]

I usually go up every year and watch some of the bands and events.

I'll go into Bongo Billy's and shout out Change for a Nickle Saturday night...

[Alpine Dreams]

I wish.....

The little hamlet of Salida is a zoo right now... all kinds of "animals" walking around.
Hot out. Come on down.

Well, one of the "best" things I saw over the weekend was: my lil' niece got a new T-shirt, and I think it's a good one, after the afternoon raft trip down Browns from her "new" boyfriend...

Now, she's just as cute as a button, as just about any twenty year old is, and a petite lil thing ta boot. Any ways, they get back and pull out the "touristy foo-for-aw" and all of a sudden... she's not so sure about the T-shirt... turns out when they bought it she thought it said something about "Jump" with a J not:

"I ENJOY A BIG DUMP"

Now that was not only some funny shit, she was a good sport and wore it out to dinner. I think the "new" boyfriend has some time to do...

I hate to do it....but....we'll need to see pictures to understand the t shirt thing.

[ridinshockgun]

Said picture should include only the t-shirt, you know, to really understand.

Lost dog at Fibark. A small black lab female wandered out of her yard on the last night of the fest. She had Stowe Tags and her name is Zyra. I know it's a long shot but if anyone happend to pick her up, call me, she was not lost or abandoned and is greatly missed right now.

I was at FIBArk the whole week and posted a TR in another thread: http://tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87986

Dave,

I hope your dog is OK. There are enough people at FIBArk that hopefully someone picked her up and will return her ASAP. =(. +++vibes.

[JerseyDave]

Not actually mine, but she is a friend. Her owners just moved to salida.
