My favorite part was always the hype: the clues and the guesswork involved early on. The Jimboree was a great satellite idea IMO. And my apologies for forgetting about the second and its attendees. Am I right in recalling that Stumpy never made it to either?

All I can say for sure is the idea of intentionally busting my butt to share a lake/campsite with others has always sounded backwards to me. That said, I attended a pickup Jimboree last year and enjoyed the experience tremendously.
