Glassblowers camping party

[PyroChixRock]

Hey guys, who likes camping? :bouncy: I was considering organizing a group camping trip for us glass freaks, somewhere on the west coast...redwoods maybe. A glass event without torches, just to get together and have some fun, roast some marshmallows, play some games. Late June or July is probably a good time to bet on the weather being rad. Any interest?

[MUPH]

You should have one on the north shore of lake superior.. I wont have to fly anywhere then

[Greymatter Glass]

New Mexico has some nice camping spots....

just saying.

[Galaxie Glass]

Washington has some FINE views Too !

[Blade]

and Colorado. . . .

[michaeL25]

you're all kidding yourselves. suburban small towns in central massachusetts are where it's @.

[mer]

yeah, but redwoods... c'mon guys. redwoods ftw and norcal for proximity to the largest number of folks.

or we could just go camp in everybody's state for a week. we'll make a jam band and try to sell each other glass all day.
...oh wait, we already did that one.

[CripSkillz]

redwoods aint to far from here weeeeeeeeeeee.......

[$$$$$$$]

Can we tell scary stories around the campfire about how a 5 pound bundle of nile fell off a table at Northstar once?... or something along those lines

[The Lorax]

i would like to get a bunch of glassblowers together to rent a camp spot in NH but bring our torches and gas :D

[menty666]

Can't make it, but I'd rather do the NW only because then I'd be "in the area" close enough to go drop up and see the color manufacturers. Just sayin'

[Mr. Whale dick]

[PyroChixRock]

:lol


so yeah, back to the camping idea. who likes to go camping? swimming, fishing, all that good stuff! :D

[sertaiz]

i know a hangliding place in NH, morningside flight park.
there pretty laid back might be able to camp, torch, and see hangliding in the morning.
id recommend it for anyone looking to hanglide too for sure.

I doooo!!!! except i live on the other coast. I would love to treck it to the red woods but cash is a bit tight right now and I can't get time away from work. eehhhhh.

[Kool]

We like camping....and the Redwoods are cool....someplace in NorCal seems good for a West Coast thing, it's accessible for a lot of people...but right off the 5 is one of the best kept secrets in Cali...or anywhere, really.

[PyroChixRock]

hey...that's my backyard! :D

awesome pics, kool. :blowkiss:

[mark206nj]

Damn kool, those pics are sweet. I wish that was "my" backyard. Way too flat here in Jersey.

[Kool]

Just to be clear, I didn't take those photos. I pulled them all off the internet, mostly from Wikipedia...Wikimedia, whatever.

Most the photos I have from the 8 1/2 years I lived in Mt. Shasta are on film, so I would have to scan them all. I used to have a ton on my computer but somehow lost them all last year.

I did actually take the photo I use for my avatar, though....here is a slightly bigger version of it and a couple others I found that I shot from my old front porch and scanned several years ago (shitty scanner). They are the only ones I still have on my computer.

Anyway, easy I-5 access and tons to do there...I think it would be a good spot if this trip comes together.

[Uscalus Storm]

Hahah id be down for some camping. colorado i think would be great! but wherever is a possibility if its in july

[GlassFreak]

IM A GLASSFREAK THAT LOVES CAMPING!! but im about 1000 miles away and broke... maybe next year, i plan on moving to north cali soon, im thinkin redding.

[Kool]

...i plan on moving to north cali soon, im thinkin redding.

Hope you like it hot in the summer.

[skip]

Nice Kool I think I have gone off every one of those waaterfalls in my kayak.

[Kool]

Nice Kool I think I have gone off every one of those waaterfalls in my kayak.

:D HAHA. You're an even bigger pimp than I thought...those are both about 50 feet high.

But...that first one (Middle Falls) is near another set called Lower Falls that is do-able in a kayak. I have a sweet photo somewhere of a guy riding it. It's at least a ten foot drop.

[misticglass]

im goin to Humbolt end of june for a wedding and will have my camping gear, and a rental car with me. might work out......

-m

[Meta Glass]

Big Sir?

pinnacles national monument is badass too
and ill be up there around that time

[Wierdeer]

hmmm... north cali redwoods sound fun

[ALIEN!]

Im too poor to go too far this year, but Wisconsin Dells area would be a great spot for a regional gathering. Wi, Mn, Il, Ia, In, Mi. Plus it would be easy to find a spot for a big group not to mention there's tons to do in the dells. I could probably get six blowers alone up there from Wi. Of course its even more fun to invite your glass illiterate friends too. The more heads the merrier!

[Galaxie Glass]

I'm down for the redwoods or even "rockaway beach" just north if there... just sayin
