best weekend in the world, end of story. my claim will be substantiated by those in attendance. all pics: http://www.gtluke.com/gallery/v/outings/NewYorkCabinWeekends/2007-05-28/ highlights, story before i pass out. thursday night i packed my zj and filled the roofrack with camping shit. friday maria and i went to work and came home, packed more, picked up ryan and erin and headed up to the cabin. nothing terribly exciting except for the unexpected lack of traffic. win pulled up to the cabin, the driveway, parking lot, front lawn, side of the house, street in front of the house were all FILLED with cars, i couldn't find parking. wtf i had the VIP (ryan, he set this up) so fuck that we drove past the house, into the lot next door, and took the quad trail around the back of the woods, around the back of the property and back into the back lawn. fucking baller entrance. win, parked next to my tent site, win win. my lack of pictures of this, lose. met up with the gang, set up tents, ate peanuts, and partied.

random picture of utah apparently shitting his pants
hung out all night, had tons of fun, took tons of random pictures of my friends. had a great time, drank a ton of soda, everyone else got fucked up on the kegs or the hurricanes. we ate something, i totally forget what. cheeseburgers and hotdogs plus something else ryan's dad made i think. whatever it was i'm sure it was awesome. SATURDAY woke up, watched ryan's dad set up the smoker and the pig
then ryan and i set up the shower, we are fucking geniuses and all shall hail how awesome we are. we took this heat exchanger out of a hot water heater (thanks steve for picking it up) and hooked up the water to it, stuck it under a turkey boiler and regulated the flow and flame till we had hot water. it could actually boil the water in there it worked so well. we had the flame REAL low and there was steam coming out of the shower, it was AWESOME. there is 1 shower in the cabin, with a really small water heater. the girls drain the water heater and wait an hour for it every morning. fuck that, we have the man shower now, it rules.
ryan even picked up a camping shower with a changing room.
took some pictures of utah on his bike
fixed the CJ5 needed a carpotato, starter, starter solenoid, and we tuned it up. should be good for the rest of the summer at a minimum now.

utah getting drunk
pig is done this was the best tasting pork i ever had in my life. it was so god damn good, it looked and almost tasted like chicken. it was insane juicy and really really god damn good. ryan's dad is the best cook in the world and he can cook for the 60+ people that were there all at once. amazing skills.
bands playing, hanging out at the fire
check out what the heat from the fire does to the pictures (taking the pictures from the other side of the fire pit), fucking weird, i guess it distorts the light somehow, looks underwater
tom making magic, this is going to be an animated gif when i wake up
bunch of drunken fools

fucking YUMMY
partied all night again MONDAY the saddest thing ever it rained briefly in the morning so i put my chairs by the fire, hung my hoodie up on one of the chairs. a few hours go by and this freak burst of wind tips over both my chairs and blows them RIGHT into the fire. taking my dr. martins hoodie with them. i wanted to cry. the aftermath after i yanked the chairs out of the fire, they burned like that for like 10 minutes
whats left of my favorite hoodie
leaving, jeep all packed up and ready to go. i'm so glad the dodge jeep made it the 300 miles, did some off roading and was great to me. came in super handy this weekend.
i'm going to bed, i have to be in brooklyn at 7 fuck that
