Had a great day in the ravine this past Sunday. Did my 1st ever cherry-poppin' run on the left gully followed by a trip up and down the right side of the headwall. Will never forget it.
Unfortuneately, as I went back to lunch rocks to work on my six pack of Meister Braus, my brews were gone. Rumor has it some weirdo in a gold jacket with a helmet with a "word" sticker on it, pilfered them. Bad karma man. Reward to whoever tracks this mofo down.

Check "houstoncontrol" under the "report for 4/14/2001". He left you a pretty good description of himself. So. "Houstoncontrol", we've got a problem... - SherpaKroto

SherpaKroto your some detective!
Last year we hid a bottle of champagne in the snow... some kid found it and decided to watch it do tucks. Luckily my wife noticed and ran to rescue it.
Last week I purposely stopped to pick up a beer to celebrate at the end of the day at lunch rocks... in all the commotion at Pinkham I forgot to pack it... no beer were had till we stopped at Shannondoors (spelling).

Dave,
Pretty easy when you read about 90% of this stuff. The "Word" reference struck a chord. I guess "Houstoncontrol" is no rocket scientist (couldn't resist). Anyway, not pointing the finger, just bringing up an interesting coincidence...
BTW - anytime you want to hide more champagne... - SherpaKroto

You QA guys are something else. Being in the Healthcare industry I can attest to it.
Nice job, Sherpakroto!

Maybe SherpaKroto should be upgraded from Headwall Master to Headwall Police.
Any Asti Spumonti (spelling) found in the ravine is mine people...

Headwall Police? Maybe Chief Inspector Kroto...8-)
All kidding aside, pretty low for someone to steal one's celebratory fluids (or anything). I just thought that was amazing that someone who understands the effort it takes to lug anything to the backcountry, still can't understand how this selfish act ruins another person's obviously well laid out plans. Rather than flame, I'll sign off.
Scott O, I'll be having Mount Gay & Gatorade (haven't found a name for this drink yet - "Blue Hermit" is what I got so far), so if you're at Tuck's between 4/28-30, drop in for a pop later in the day. I'm usually Blue Goretex Shell, Blue/white bandana, and 45. - SherpaKroto

http://timefortuckerman.com/ubb/mad.gif WOW!, someone has a death wish!!
My "as yet unnamed drink" is Vodka+Tang+Iodized water. Something like "Cosmonaut" or "Space Screwdriver" was bounced around, but we never came up with it.
Another lovely combo is the Tuckerman Vodka Martini Slurpy. Gotta have corn snow for that.
(Forgot to add, I only have these drinks in the ravine or at the lean-tos)

Skunkboy - Death Wish? No, That's why I said "...later in the day". But I do have to say that when the runs are in and the sun is low, can't think of a better place to kick back and smile. Do "Lunch Crocks" sound better? How about Tuckerman Bowls (choose your poison on this one!)?
If I had a death wish, I'd stay indoors at home. That being said, I'm off to Tuck's tonight. See you all at the bowl! - SherpaKroto

SherpaKroto http://timefortuckerman.com/ubb/confused.gif , Ahhhhh Grasshopper, you misunderstand. Confucius say "he who steals frosted malt beverage has death wish".

wow, someone actually stole a six pack of Meister Braus??? jeez, that's desperation right there, lol! some might even consider that doing you a favor! maybe the dude was trying to save you the effort of packing out?
just kidding; no matter how aweful the beverage... and all kidding aside, that is very very low. it's a shame that you can't get away from selfish and inconsiderate people by driving up into the mountains.
Stealing beer that someone else lugged up to Tuckerman is truley making a death wish. I think if such a person were caught they should be tied up and placed in the middle of the ravine with a big sign, "BEER THEIF", and get a big "Boooo" from the lunch rocks.

Yikes!

I agree with giving this guy a great big group "Boo". Of course, if the clown fessed-up and offered to replace the brew, well, then he could be spared. Must be a first-timer to the North Country -- no mountain etiquette in this guy!
You know what they say... "you can take the boy out of the city but you can't take the city out of the boy..."
