[at-l] What goes on at a "RUCK" ?

[Bror8588 at aol.com]

Those of us that have never attended a RUCK but have paid close attendtion  
to the submissions to this site have information about a certain "Room #13" (or 
 was that #17?).  There is also a tradition to weigh a newbies pack and  
prevent them from taking along favorite items for their travels.  Also we  have 
learned that there is a strong emphasis on food;  Someone makes  pancakes.  A 
Spaghetti Supper takes place at some point.  Many  participants bring stuff to 
share.  Work Crews are formed.   Friendships are developed.  Lots of talking 
takes place.  Some acting  out (in Room # 13?) is the basis for rumors and 
rumors of rumors.  Some  hiking gets done.  More eating takes place.  Some 
presentations are  made.  A vendor or two are present but this varies.  And then 
everyone  goes home.  Anything else?

Being the novice that I am, and having never been to a  Ruck, I'd like to 
hear your experiences as to what goes on at this  event, that is, the ones who 
have actually attended one, or two  ?
