Camping Swanking - June 28 - July 3 - Page 26

Visible mojo to JWB for the pics. I looked all over and couldn't find campsite pics!

So the box'll fit approximately 5-6 filled paper grocery bags.

I added a table to the LoTwiki to track who and when people plan to be there

innerSpaceman · 04-17-2007, 08:04 AM

Wow, I'm already listed and I didn't do a thing. When the time comes, will you also please indicate which camp items I'm bringing (and, ya know, um, buy them for me)?

Oh, and if anyone wants to eat when it's my "team's" time to feed us all .... well, some cooks better join my team.

You are definitely right about that. I was just tossing the idea around.

Whether I am there for the swanking or not I have an idea. Each Campsite becomes a team. Sometime during the week all the campsites compete against one another in a wacky Olympics sort of thing. You know like Three legged races, egg on a spoon relay, trivia challenge, watermelon seed spitting, horseshoes & hand grenades (oh wait did I say that? LOL)

Re: Transporting items.

Has anyone considered maybe renting a small uhaul or trailer? Then everything, or most everything can be loaded and transported easy.

Thoughts?

Im working feverishly to get everything coodinated to attend (vacation time, dog sitting blah blah). I have a half ton PU that we can easily load a pretty good amount into and since I have to come in that direction anyway, you can feel free to load me up for a caravan up. just an FYI

a trailer would be a royal PITA (IMHO)

Not Afraid · 04-17-2007, 10:25 AM

No trailers. I'm putting my foot down.

innerSpaceman · 04-17-2007, 10:40 AM

From what I hear about the long and winding road, trailers would not be such a hot idea anyway.

Let's just stick to our vehicles ... some of us, including yours truly, have the type better suited for cargo than human transport. It would add inconvenience to departing but assist in general travel if those cars (cough*gas-guzzling-SUVs-or-trucks*cough) could be loaded with junk, while more passenger-oriented cars be loaded with folks.

Technically, my car seats four ... but won't hold four people's camping loads no way. The backseat passengers would, in any event, be uncomfortable after Hour Two. Would it be better to transport 2 humans with 4 people's stuff, or 4 peoples with 2 persons' junk?

While we're at it, let's get totally ahead of ourselves and start planning what we are going to wear each day!

Can people just commit to what days they're going to be there first?
