Ben Adamson took the lead on assembling a first-rate crew for a trip to SVA in August ’09. Ben’s first lady Emilee Carpenter, Stephen and Sarah Adamson, Scott Reed, Duncan Burn, Adrian Bruns, George Stanley and his first lady Brooks, and Cheairs Porter were the crew who self-selected for the trip. Many emails circulated in the months prior, with accelerating spaz-ometer readings as we got closer to August.
Key points of preparation:
- Sarah Adamson worked with a outfitters’ chef to assemble a 10-page menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day we were at the cabin. Said menu also involved a 6-page shopping list, which contained down-to-the-brand-and-size instructions for each item. We did not g hungry.
- Stephen and Ben instigated a bear deterrent arms race among themselves, Porter and Reed. More than $1000 in proper armaments were purchased specifically for this trip.
