FreezeFest XVII- 2018-2019

The bad idea that caught on......Installment # 17.

Who is coming this year? Who is not? What are people hoping to do?
I am hoping for a snowy fest, but it really doesn't matter. I come for the people.

I'll be there, 28-30th (and maybe 31st not sure on that day yet.)

I'll be there if someone is willing to do the 3 hog canyons with me... In one day!

There are actually 4 Hog Canyons. Which one were you going to leave out?
It can be done!

I am planning on attending my first Freeze Fest, #17! YES!! Best case for me is that I arrive on the 29th and stay through The Black Hole. Worst case is that I just make it for The Black Hole, it all depends on work.

I'm down for doing 3 hog canyons in a day if I get down there early. I won't know till the 28th.

I will be absolutely miserable exploring canyons in the Caribbean. On a brighter note, I can not tell any difference in my right ankle I fractured last December 31st during Freeze Fest.

You poor fella. You may be dodging afternoon floods, while we are safely navigating...well we are never sure.
FreezeFest is like a box of chocolates.You never know what you are gonna get. Safe Passage, Sonny

Too cold!

Amen. How about a Sweatfest . . .?

Isn't that just normal canyoneering?

I think I'm up for the challenge.....

I'll probably make it to the Black Hole

Don't think I'm going to make it out this year. Hope you all have a wonderful time!

Hi Ram!! This is Basia...I'd like to tell you that reading your stories about previous freezes makes me very worm on this freezing day in Chicago! Something in my mind is whispering go...go...Right now,I see Jerzy digging in his canyoneering closet....

There is already rumblings about doing all 4 Hogs in a day during Freezefest this year

Hell yeah! We're definitely coming! This year will be my 10th FF!

Cody, Amanda, and I should be in camp Friday or Saturday (not firm plans). Another Army friend says 90% chance he's coming too.

Epic Blarney will probably be the 31st (up Right, down Left, bring Epic Beers). Also looking at the Poison Spring area (I'd like to repeat the Slideanide/Arscenic 2-for I last did at my 1st FF) and/or some Hogs...


Oh yeah, doughnuts will be New Year's Eve, but we've got a fried-surprise planned for the evening of the 30th as well...

Great Don!! i am planning pierogis fest ...as usual!Can't wait to see you guys!

Great name for a restaurant

For those who are interested, any particular day in mind? I'd vote the 29th or the 26th. I won't be able to be there on the 30th-31st.

I’ll second the vote for the 29th. I’m coming down on the 28th, but already have a canyon planned for that day.
