FULL PACKER NEWS RELEASE: The scheduled FP expedition “ALGONQUIN ASCENT” has been pushed forward to March 9, 10 and 11, it has also been renamed: "MARCY DAM DESCENT” Be safe Full Packers!!!!

FULL PACKER NEWS RELEASE: Recently, I questioned Jambo, HBS on the Full Packer relevancy to his recently submitted photos (see the 1/21/09 posting below). Our email conversation went as follows:

Cap: May I ask what any of this has to do with being FULLY PACKED???

Jambo: "Nothing at all. Only to show that some FPs and members of the ladies auxiliary are not content to just sit around and drink beer or meditate in a boat shed. Besides, 2 charter members who shall remain nameless were quoted as saying they would never climb "fully packed" again after a torturous ascent of the mammoth Mt Snowy this past fall. Apparently being FULLY PACKED has nothing to do with being a FP!"

As editor of this BLOG, I will let the reader determine if this attack was warranted.

The following photographs were submitted by Jambo
