Actually, it would be easier to bring the condiments, buns and meat. Meats can be frozen and carry well through an earlier camping trip. Besides which, having just thrown a BBQ for my boyfriend's coworkers, I have plenty at hand.

But if people were interested in sharing some sides, that would rock. Otherwise, it's chips and baked beans for the LoT of ye.

If someone's dying to bring a specific kind of meat with them, go ahead, I'm sure it'll get eaten, but I'll be providing basics.

brats and hot links!!!! theyre sorta hot-doggie arent they?

That's what I was thinking!

Hey NA: I received an email today with a place (Pahaque) having specials on Pet Tents.



This is the small one that can be purchased for $49.00 with Coupon Code 1400. The larger one can be purchased for $59.00 with Coupon Code 1401.

It's like an empanada for bears

I've got radios with a 26-mile range that we'll be bringing.

If I feel creative enough this weekend, maybe I'll make us a LoT Camp Swank flag to fly at one of the sites, not only to mark our claim of Swankdom, but also so others can find us when they arrive...

Hmmm, I've got no radios. And I'm the only one going early who knows where the desired sites are.


Puzzle needs solving. Or solvation!

Well, if I get there my plan for discovery will be to drive around until I find the happeniest party going. Pressure's on you all to make sure that's your camp.

When are you arriving? If it's not during breakfast, or from dinner onwards ... you'll find a mostly deserted camp while we are out having fun.

I have no idea when (or even if) I'll arrive. If that means I end up partying with the Jones family six slots down then I'll have still had a good weekend.
