Yes MadJohn I did my 700th at LP and was proposed to on the same jump! I am looking forward to 800 too. It probably won't be into the brewery as I am only 8 away and arriving on Saturday for the full boogie. Shell save us a space if you can. We upgraded the trailer again. Shannon

QuoteWell I'm almost ready (car is halfway packed) and it looks like I'll get to do my 400th while I'm there so if MadJohn will do the honors I'd like a 40 way please

It also helps if your really good at Rock Paper Scissors I've been practicing, not that I need to..... right MadJohn? Shannon

oooohhh can't wait! Hopefully tomorrow!

Don't know who was on board. Anxiously awaiting the names, we must know some. My prayers are with the families and all our friends. Shannon

We love you Lena and everyone at LP! We came this year for our selfish reasons and also to show our support. You still and will always have it! I paid Tod! I want a video! The sooner the orders are in the sooner he can get working on it. I would love mine before Halloween. The longer it takes for the orders to come in the less chance of there being one. Like Tall Guy said, pass the word! Shannon

We left Tod our money and order so the sooner 40 of you send him money the sooner he will start and we can all get the video. Don't be a slacker you know you want it!

We won't get there until late on the 30th. I am going to the Canadian women's record so we will be late. Shell can you save us a spot near you so we won't be parked half way to the lake? Jim proposed there last year, we considered getting married there this year too. The Prairie is special to so many in so many ways.

I have a great photo of Joel I will bring. His loss has been hard felt. We will sing loud and strong for him. On the 4th we will look to the sky and remember. Shannon

The Jello people are on to us. I went to the store today and found Margarita and Strawberry Daquiri flavored Jello. I know I don't get out much but mmmmmmmmmmmm Jello. Mmmmmmmm Lost Prairie Jello Wheeeee!

"The Canuckians priorities . . . American Beer" Are you crazy?? American beer is mostly water. The alcohol content is so low all does it makes you pee. The only good American beer is Lang! Shannon

Has anyone heard if Packing Cathy will be there? Fred? Just wondering if I should start bribing a packer to come along now. I packed all mine and my hubbies last year and that won't happen again. Thanks Shannon

Is it bad form if you wear the same thing two years in a row? Hell no, it may help those of us who drank a few to remember you.

One month until summer vacation. I can hardly stand another week if they are like this one. OH I can't stand the wait until LP! ArE wE tHeRe YeT?

Amazon wrote, "Someone HAS to have a picture of him up in the rafters on Cocks night singing us all a song." What a great couple of guys, the last two years we have spent the whole year talking about the previous and looking forward to our next visit to LP. Joel was the first staff who went out of their way to welcome us the first year we went. He never failed to smile or stop to chat no matter how busy he was, what a sweetie. My husband Jim did his first tandem there that year on the same skyvan load as Joel had the TSN guy. That guy looked like he would pass out, Joel was so great at calming and distracting him with his fantastic humour. Jim said he wasn't near nervous watching how ill this guy looked. Last year an enormous fresh cow pie jumped up and attacked me. Joel walked by as I deperately tried to wash my rig, canopy, and brand new jumpsuit. He shook his head and took pity on me. I had asked anyone I could find for laundry soap, Joel got me soap, a bucket, and a scrub brush too. I would never have got all that crap out if he hadn't helped me. Joel's smile, laugh, and extremely friendly manner meant any of us who met him felt like we were instant friends. I only wish I had known David as well. Lena and Fred and all who knew him loved him and my heart aches for the loss this community and their families are feeling. Their lives will continue to be celebrated. Shannon

Someday early: Shell arrives does all the work and looks relaxed Friday night: the early arrivals seek the perfect spot to put up their Lost Prairie home - Byranada Rocks if your allowed in, consult the gatekeeper regarding her fees. Saturday: a slow but steady stream of full weekers Sunday -Tuesday: jump beach jump Wednesday Wine Tasting Thursday: Red nightie night Friday: the tower and the men sing badly Saturday: cross country search and rescue and the women kick ass Sunday: the weak and the tired go home Monday: the Canadians enjoy the prairie while your at work, bahahahaha! I think I got it but can't remember when the Lang jump is. I had such a good time on that last year I will _______ for a spot this year. Woohoo can't wait! Shannon

I had the joy of meeting up with Perry a bunch of times. The last time I saw him was at Didsbury for the Western Conference (?). It was dark and the bonfire was 100 yards or more away. I knew Perry was there. I could hear him laugh. Who couldn't! I miss you Perry, you are not forgotton, I can still hear your laugh. Shannon

A friend just called, he wonders if his reserve will require repacking while we are there. He will go over the 120 days US cycle but still be within the 180 Canadian reserve dates. Does anyone know if they will accept the Canadian repack cycle?? Thanks Shannon
