This place, right? The link takes me to a generic search in Chicago, of all places.
24-27 July: Monkeyfest, the heresy
- Thread starter johnbryanpeters
- Start date
Try it a couple times. It worked for me on the 2nd try. The place looks pretty sweet. Can't wait! !
Yup, that's the place. I had to try it a few times to take me to the house instead of Chicago too.
Looks like plenty of room to set up a tent in the field!
Can we have a bonfire?
I can see the Evil Knieval fire jumping contest for sure!
kanye swim in the pond?
The house discription states that there are two ponds and one of them is a swimming hole. There's also a swimming hole in the brook.
Still waiting for an answer on campfire (didn't use the word bonfire) and tents. The owners are staying at the farm next door.
Menu is shaping up. I am trying to plan according to what's in season and/or on sale (to offer the best price).
Breakfast:
Sandwiches (egg, cheese, bacon, sausage)
Breakfast Egg Bake (ham/sausage, veggies, etc.)
Pancakes w/bacon & syrup (likely there will be blueberries too if the picking is good)
Dinners:
Turkey, salt potatoes and maybe some sweet corn or broccoli slaw
Homemade Pulled Pork sandwiches with coleslaw
Seasonal Pasta dish with veggies (I'm thinking pasta w/sundried tomato pesto)
Snacks:
Chips & Salsa
PB Pretzels
Sweet Breads (either banana, zucchini, etc.)
Mixed Nuts
Hummus & pita chips
Fruit
Veggies
Dessert:
Cookies
Fruit Crumble or something like that
Lunch?
I'm thinking we'll be on the trails for lunch so I am bringing lots of mini Mojo bars for everyone to fuel their rides with. I'll also bring snacks to the trails we ride too, but other than that I don't think we'll be around the house for lunch so I am not planning on bringing anything special.
Thursday lunch at Long Trail after Pine Hill Park ride! Can we plan on riding about 10:30 or 11am?

Sounds good. I'll plan on arriving at the parking lot by 10:30, then hit the trails when everybody is ready.
One more commited monkey. Most of you remember Laudy right? I'm working on one more now.
Awesome! I'll talk to Brenda, we'll probably meet you all at Pine Hill.
My dietary restrictions are still the same as always... no onions and extra bacon on everything.
As of right now, Crombie and I will drive to your place Wednesday after work so we can make the Pine Hill ride on Thursday morning.

If we make it, anyone against us having an almost 3 years old child that talks a lot but don't understand english and might cry at the vision of JBP??? Most of you know Jasmine our daughter, she's not really a problem most of the time, just a typical child...
Hooray for Jasmine!
You're not against her picking up a few bad words of English, are you? Bring her, she's a great kid.
That's the one - the one and onlyAs in... makes hilarious sounds effects when riding and yells "Holy sh*t Batman" Laudy?
LOL! I think I actually learned how to swear in French before I could speak English very well
Any idea when we'll have a street address so we can actually get there or do we simply follow the aroma of bacon?
Well! We're gonna be there!!!! We should make it to pine hills thursday for the ride too....
BadDNA, she sings happy birthday in english!!!
For the bad words... well... she probably pick some... anyway!
yeah!!!!!
Mmmm....Bacon!
Are you joining us at Pine Hill? We'll all caravan from there. Check-in isn't until 5pm.
Yes, I'm coming to Pine Hill. Vero plans a later Pine Hill ride, will need address.

Excellent! Later the same day or later in the trip? We could be convinced to hit that on Sunday on our way home as well.
Damn, MonkeyHouse 2.0 looks pretty swanky. Don't go and screw it up for future gatherings, monkeys.
why, are there running trails nearby you might like to visit :O
Don't be rediculous. I run on paved roads.
do you have a full service daycare on site sos I can leave the kiddo while I'm off diddlydinking?
It could be arranged LOL!
So I know that Pine Hill is planned for Thursday.
What other places/trails are we planning on checking out?

The local bike shop (Laudy knows the owner and has been emailing them) leads a ride Thursday night. Perhaps some might consider joining that (bring your lights!). They also would probably be more than happy to give us some advice on good rides. I want to hit all the BEST TRAILS!
Millstone obviously...
I've heard/seen video of good things at Blueberry Lake...
DH day at Killington/Sugarbush?
Norwich University Ski Hill...
These guys have been building some tasty looking stuff in the area: http://sinuosity.net/
