That sounds like fun - a winter solstice bonfire and get together. What should we bring in the way of food, drink, logs (for the fire), etc?
On the evening of the 21st, to be exact?

No need for any logs Anders. The big guy gets a half cord of fir raging with a half gallon of diesel and there's enough heat to warm up the smoke bluffs. It's a roaster.

Sadly, the full moon isn't until the 28th. No chance of seeing this:
The exact combination of winter solstice, sunset and (visible) full moon would be magical. This photo was from December 9th last year, which was close but no cigar. I got a similar one on December 1st, 2009, which again was in the hockey rink. I wonder if I'll live long enough to get the trifecta?

It would be nice to have a respite from the deluge but... it hasn't stopped us yet.

Saw this when walking the dog yesterday in the rainy forest. It would appear that some climbers are standing up to the rain, fighting back so to speak but......Yea the tarp didn't do nuthin but make me laugh. A for effort though!

Speaking of those not formally invited, I bet Nate is feeling a bit left out too.
Look what you did perry, hurting feelings and sh#t.
Nate is probably still a little shaken up from our most recent attempt at zorros

Perry making a white man's fire? I don't think so.

Big Mike,
I assumed Nate would know he's part of the crew and is invited.
Ghost may have fled south but he's still a frostback hoser at heart so he's in too.
As far as the size of the fire goes, hey I'm part wagon burner so you can do some extrapolating.
It won't be a smudge for fending off skeeters!
Based on invites and responses, this might have the makings of an unruly debacle.
Thank God Mighty will be there to provide moral compass!
