Roch, NY 2006 Polar Plunge

Yes, thanks Mike for getting the Plunge all set-up. (also, let us know what happens with the newspaper) RJ and Pete - nice to meet you guys. Katie - thanks for the ride.

Great friends, great times, great food, and some even better wine! Hopefully we can get something put together before I have to go home to Texas, even if it is to just chill out and watch movies. Hope to see everyone soon, if not IRL, then perhaps on the boards!

 

Thanks all for the great time.

RJ and Pete have started their trek back down to Jersey.

Zac - let us know when you leave for Texas. I know that there are some events planned for May 6th and 7th...

 

hey all, I have someone's size large tshirt from the plunge, who's missing thiers

 

Thanks to everyone. The Finger Lakes times posted their article on the event on the web at http://www.fltimes.com/main.asp?FromHome=1&TypeID=1&ArticleID=11416&SectionID=38&SubSectionID=121

They got most things right, not quite. As you can see Pete is from Dansville and I live in Geneva, but hey...

I am working on copies.

Cheers.
Mike

 

Cool article! I made a print-out for the scrapbook.

I posted all the pictures from my camera here.
I also set-up T_StarFlyer and Recaf2000 with access so if you guys want to put pictures in that album - feel free. Just dump them in there and I'll rearrange them to chronological order. I'd especially like a couple from Casa Larga since I didn't bring my camera in with me.

Had blast guys it was cool jumping in the lake next time I wanna see more people go in!!!
Mike there was and article where the guy had done stuff with zippy before and really screwed up his named I beleive it was Ziggy and the spelling of his last name was even worse. I'm sure some has a copy of that post article.

 

Guys it was an excellent time. I cannot even begin to tell you how great it was hanging out with you all.

You made us both feel very welcome.

Thanks soo much.

 

I have two hardcopies of the paper and I am working on a bunch more. As soon as I can I will post scans at least. We did make the FRONT PAGE! THe pic of the toropers headed out into the lake. IN the continuation on page 4A there's another pic that mentions some of us, is a great pic of Zac, Katie, Scotty, Darren, some of my side.

Awesome! I definitely need to get that added to our In the News gallery.

Awesome! Mike - If you are able to get more copies, I would love to get one from you. Thanks!

 

The paper offered extra copies to me this afternoon if I show up in armor... I suppose I can at least get a few with just my bucket.

We shall see....

 

How long is their offer good for?

I don't presume that you carry your armor (or bucket) around in your car to be able to quench that spur of the moment "I feel like trooping" urge. ;-)

 

If your not able to get copies, I'll gladly send you some money to buy me a copy.

 

That is just beautiful. *sniffs* We need more troopers like that down here!

 

I picked up some hardcopies. I will scan and post ASAP. For folks who want one please send me your address.

 

Mike - PM sent.

 

Zac, your article copy is mailed.

Anyone else... PM mailing address please.

Cheers,Mike

 

Awesome Mike! Thanks a bunch.

 

Well it had to happen sooner or later. Did anybody happen to come across my bucket's rangefinder in their bag when they got home from this.

I had wanted to upgrade it anyway so this isn't the end of the world but the timing is annoying.

lemme know.

Mike

 

I'll check my Tub.
Wasnt it missing when you took the bucket OUT of the case originally?

 

I had it at the plunge, Im guessing I lost it when re-packing.

I was going to say, based on the pictures from the event you definitely had it after the playground. So it must have been when you de-armored.

~Doc_Bev

 

All of my pictures are posted. Thanks to Wookiee Cookiee!!

 

I checked my tub for the range-finder and came up emptyhanded. sorry to hear about that Mike, and good luck on your search.

 

Yes! Thanks gals & T_StarFlyer for adding their photos to the album. I think I mostly got them in chronological order. We now have a 175 photos for the days events!
