We need to keep up with the planning!

I seriously had a dream last night that we arrived, and I had packed everything except my clothes. :eek:

It's a sign that we've been too lax about this!

What?? I thought that was the plan.

Well, Rhode Island's a bit far. But, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check out the laws for Sequoia. ;)

(I wonder how many people think I'm some crazed nudist now after this post and the one about my having danced topless around a campfire...... ;) )

Don't worry - I promise to at least acquire a fake tan before we go, so I won't blind anyone. :evil:




;)

I have a surprisingly easy schedule from Thursday thru the weekend, so maybe I can get some stuff together.

It's still 7.5 weeks away... right?

I am officially out.

Turns out that my sis in law will be at Lake Crowley {Crowley Lake?} and we'll be heading up the 395 instead .

She said we'll probably be camping out at the place she'll be at because it is pretty small. :D

Another time, LoT'ers. :cheers:

Hahaha ... reminds me of the last big camping trip I did ... it was probably 15 years ago, at Yosemite. My friend Laurie arrived with everything but a change of clothes. And her husband left his wallet at home. They both had all their camping gear.

Then my friends Lisa and Eric arrived ... without the tent poles for their tent. None could be found in any of the camp stores in the Valley. They ended up hanging their tent from a tree limb .... and it hung there all weekend suspended like a giant nylon teardrop.




Ah, good times! :iSm:

aww. :(

OK. I'm going to propose some pairing up of camping and meal buddies. This is a PROPOSAL. If you disagree, take matters into your own hands, revise the list and let me know. I will put up a WiKi spreadsheet where you can pick the days/meal you want do prepare with your "team".

Meals that will be available are
Friday Dinner
Saturday Breakfast
Saturday Dinner
Sunday Breakfast
Sunday Dinner

I will put up the WiKi spreadsheet tomorrow evening and sign-ups will be on a first come, first served basis. This gives you some time to consult with your teams and come up with your first and second (and perhaps third) meal choices.

Proposed teams (You can name yourselves)
This is who you will share your campsite with and prepare the group meal with. Make sure you consult with your teammate about your team's needs (ie: Bear Box capacity, cooking equipment, etc)

Team 1 - Kevin/Susan/Ken/Teresa
Team 2 - Chris/Lisa/Kara/Tracy
Team 3 - Erica/Audra/Steve/Alex
Team 4 - John/Bill/Cindy/Joe
Team 5 - Erik/CJ/KatieSue/(I'll help with this one too- gotta have something other than meat ;))

MEAL GUIDLINE: $50 per meal (breaks down to $12.50 per person for 5 SCREAMING good meals) NOT including alcohol. You're on your own with the drinks - you're responsible for your own drinks at each meal.

So, the challenge is: GOURMET meal at a BUDGET price. I think we can do it and do it well.


OK, so that's my proposal. Take it, leave it, tear it apart, do whatever you want but come up with some other resolution.


NOTE TO REMEMBER: Each person needs to bring their own MESS KIT (plate, cup, bowl, utensils) to each meal - if you want to eat, that is. ;)

We're number one!
