Memorable moments on Night one:
Steve Pio drank 1.75 ml of Captain alone and then sang, and played air guitar for several hours.
Memorable moments on Night two/day two:
· The ceremony of the new chalice
· Let’s not forget about our little Ween Song.... Homo Rainbow
· Mike Brown on the carving of the Chalice
· Chilly Cook off
· Flush too drunk to find his way down the mountain or stay for second night
· Happy hour on the Bluff and the lighter game
· Pio mounted Gramps head and caused the end of the lighter game.
· Several of us witnessed maybe the biggest shooting star of all time.
· How about adding the fact that Flush actually cut his jeans into shorts only to walk about a 1/10 mi and then turn around to go home. I forget who did the carving, maybe Scott.
Memorable moments on Day three:
· The Beef pulling a Flush and walking the wrong way on the trail
· Spanky stepping in and tracking Chet's shit all around the campsite!

Just a note:
To those of you who haven't experienced Team Hike... you are missing out on a fabulous time.
I implore all of you hike virgins to jump on the bandwagon the next time one of these trips is put together.
The older guys really come through for you. I was dragged in a drunken stupor out of a mid-town Manhattan bar at 4am to go on this trip. I left Puffy and Marky Mark behind for a trip I was completely unprepared for. No tent, backpack, booze, food, or flashlight. No matter! When Al and I got there at noon, they had everything for us. Extra backpacks, extra booze, great food (better than we usually eat during the week), and good times already prepared.
And Flush was sweating so much alcohol, the bugs stayed 100's of meters away.
The adventure and experience are definitely worth one of your weekends.
You don't even need to have much of history with the other guys. Being a newbie, I just sat back and watched the atrocities unfold about me. It's kinda like dinner theater starring alcoholic woodsmen. It's some of the funniest shit you can experience with your fraternity.
DONT MISS OUT ON THE NEXT ONE. ACCEPT THE CHALICE FREELY MY BROTHERS.
