@ Bryan ans Shauna,
Denver ain’t NOTHING of a brick compared to Telluride. Those RRE guys were not puling your leg. Trust me… in 2008 I spent 4 days in Grand Junction (5,000 ft.) and the elevation still hit me hard upon arrival in Town Park.
@ UJo… :welcome to my happy place! We’re THRILLED you two are headed back this year!!!

Ginger is good relief for any elevation-related issues. Ginger ale, ginger snaps, candied ginger, and quite possibly, ginger BEER! And if that doesn’t help, find me and I’ll give you some Body Balance. It most definitely helps, and is quite a good cure for hangovers. I’m in Camp Run-a-Muck.
Holy Crap! I just went from a “forumvarian” to an Old Timer with this post! Oh well, after 34 Telluride Bluegrass Festivals, it was bound to happen sometime. :cheers :horsey :horsey :strong
How about ginger boys?
D’oh! :lol :lol :lol
That would probably work too. Maybe we can get Jerry G. to make some at BIT so they are readily available. I went to a Christmas party where we were invited to decorate our own gingerbread people, and there were some VERY creative ones!
Anything to keep from :sick and :hooch or :flight
you heard it here first. any altitude sickness and you can come see me, ginger johnny
Ginger Rogers? Maryann & ginger? A guy has to know his options!
Thanks Johnny? Fitgers Pub returned my email. They will send me an estimate on mailin’ plastic growlers. She said it was unusual but was happy to help.
The brewerys around sell plastic growlers for all th floaters on the rivers. Give ma a day or two and I’ll call around to see if I can pick up a few to bring with me. I always bring a 5 gal. Keg or two and refill my nalgene or stainless bottle. I’ll see if I can get a line on case of river growlers and get back to you.
So I am thinking the keg is going to be the best option for our camp and its definitely a better green option. But I have questions to you who have brought them in the past, how have you kept them cold? I have buried them camping at the lake before but will that be an option in Mary E?
Ice during the day and Mother Nature will take care of the evening cooling!
:cheers

nalgene 64oz bottels, $10 from the web page (I don’t know how to post links) Love you guys, even if this post got way off track. (lookin’ @ you Ginger Johnny!)
I don’t know about Mary E. In Town Park I used to toss 'em in the river, chained to the bank. :lol
Keep in mind, they’ll get chilled every night naturally. So all you need to do is insulate the bejeezus out of them during the day and toss a bag of ice in there with the insulation
If you place in a cooler, add some ice, cover with a towel and keep in shade. It’s possible the ice may not even melt for several days…
In the vein of helping to be green, What are some suggestions on how to cut down on trash, reuse, etc at camp or in the festival?
-Bring cooler items in tupperware instead of plastic bags. They can be washed and used to store food/things later on. Plus they wont let the ice water leak in as easy.
-Nalgene for water inside
-bring your own utensils inside
-bring your own cup/utensils to Homebrew/Bloody/Potluck
I know others have better suggestions
Does anyone have a recommendation for a portable solar panel set-up? Preferrably one with a power inverter so you can plug in and charge cell phones, set-up lights etc.
Thanks! :thumbsup
Thanks Debbie! :wave
