Swine and Dine 2003

WHERE? At Tim's and Hank's Places at the Friars Hole Cave Preserve

WHEN? - Memorial Day, of course! May 23 through May 26

WHAT? - Caving/Hiking/Camping type weekend at one of the premiere caves in the world with a huge Pork/Beef. Fixings/Sodas/Beer meal served on Saturday Night. Sauna!

HOW? - To help defray food & drink costs, repair the wear and tear on the road and (if anything is left over) assist with event improvements, I request that everyone contribute fifteen dollars unless you are under thirteen years old in which case I would ask for only ten dollars. I would never ask anyone under six years old to pay anything. BUT, in order for me to order the proper amount of food, I need to know if you are coming so I would ask that you include an extra five dollars per person if you get your money to me after Wednesday, May 7. NOTE: I picked that day because it is a Baltimore Grotto meeting night, and I will be there to register procrastinators. Please send the proper amount with a list of the names and ages of the cavers and the people attending to:

THE SEVEN DAYS OF SWINE AND DINE

Traditionally, volunteers come down on two work weekends prior to Swine 'N Dine. We cut the wood for the fire, fix the road up and build things during the day. In the evening, we eat like pigs, enjoy adult beverages and tell lies around a campfire. These weekends are really extensions of Swine 'N Dine. Many say they may be the best part.

1. April 5 & 6
2. May 3 & 4

A COUPLE OF THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
  • Please bring everything you need and be prepared to stay at the Cave Preserve the entire weekend in case things are wet. If wet, the roads will not survive constant traffic. If dry, no problem. Ice runs will be made.
  • Bring camping gear, we have nice camping sites.
  • Come early and get the best pick of sites. (we'll be there Wednesday)
