F3 Dad’s Camp 2025 – Recap!

Glad to see some Dads / 2.0 2025 HPSP Campers able to climb interior of HPSP Monument and do BD at the base. 

Welcome to Lambo. 

Fun and soaking wet times by 2 isolated showers to dampen some moments.  Twice, rain came at wrong times:

1. Saturday 3pm, when we’re about to start our hike up the monument from the campsite.  We ended up scrambling to try to tie a tarp covering over fire pit but did not work. 

Joke #1: How many F3 Pax will it take to get a tarp covering built for rain shelter? 

2. Saturday dinner cooking time.  On the 3rd spaghetti box to cook; burgers, chicken, hot dogs still on bbq grill, Pharmer says, “I feel rain drops.” All of a sudden 2nd downpour.  Nothing was showing on the weather app when Lambo checked. 

Joke #2: How many F3 Pax does it take to bbq burger, chicken, hotdogs? 

See pix for answers to the dads camp jokes… True F3 principle of “Held Outdoors; Rain or Shine, Hot or Cold!”.   

Was able to celebrate @Killbill bday. Thank you to @Pharmer (the camping master) @Killbill (camping bday dad) @Dustin Crosby (Kolisi) (camping bbq master) @Srikanth Bondada (BabeRuth) (camping egg sandwich breakfast cook) @Fred Kelly (Grassy Knoll) (camping cereals king) @(SureShot) (camping umbrella man) for signing up and coming out to dads camp 2025 with 2.0 or not and make F3 Princeton Dads Camping 2025 successful in its own rights.  Appreciate it!  Til next year!!!
