The advantages: - Much easier for 4-6 people to coordinate a meal than 15-20.
- Leaves a "surprise" element that can be fun to plan - a campsite could theme the meal, offer a certain cuisine, etc., thus inviting the rest of the folks to a whole dining "experience".
- With coordination being small, it's easier to plan for food locker storage at each site
- Each campsite spends one morning/night doing the cooking and cleaning, getting to completely relax for those other 4 group meals.
Whadaya all think?  |
FANSASTIC!!!!

A ccouple questions:
1. Would you be willing to have me come out for this?
2. I would have no camping supplies with me whatsoever. Would anyone be willing to share?
3. Should I just "Forget it" and come out another time?
I ask these questions since I am new to several of you and I have no idea what your comfort level is with me.

The biggest issue I see would be lack of equipment and transportation. But, you never know.....

We may need to carpool up with somebody; our largest car is the Mini.
I have a lot of camping crap, including a smallish Colman campstove and a Colman lantern. I also have a large canvas tent that is older than I am (but still in good shape). I also volunteer for cooking duty. I have lots of camp cooking experience.
Smores. We must have smores.

I say fit it all in the Mini (although that may require a smaller tent if your tent is similar to what I grew up with). The nice thing about the Mini is that it takes up about 1/2 the space of my Volvo or Susan's van. Makes parking MUCH easier. I think you should go for it.
