OFFICIAL Kings Canyon Camp Swank Thread

[Ghoulish Delight]

Last time I was up there I recall being able to get cell reception. So that might be an option, still no?

If not, I don't know. Maybe leave a trail of bacon crumbs?

At the campgrounds we used to go at Eagle Lake when we were kids. There were large kind of bulletin board signs near the enterance with various postings from the Forrest Service. People would leave messages posted to the back of the signs saying stuff like "Fred we're at campsite 27". Any idea if there's anything like that?

So I had my first look at the wiki in a while. I had assumed that with all the manic planning, all the meals had already been spoken for. I was under the wrong impression! Only Friday night has been spoken for.

Guess we should pick a meal, Camp Sausages and Muffins...

I'm actually a yes now, just haven't re-updated the wiki.

I do know I'm arriving sometime Friday night or at worst by early Saturday (which would be a waste, so expect me Friday). We're coming back from McArthur-Burney on Friday and stopping for what we hope to be an early dinner with my father in Sacramento. Then it's about 4 hours to Kings Canyon. Methinks I shall be sleeping under the stars that night... (if not in my car)

I'm bringing peppers and onions to saute for people to put on their weenies/sausages, and my original plan was to provide the dogs and sausages. I'm still willing to do that. What I don't know about is side dishes.

edit: Sunday night is probably a great weenie roast night, and yes, since I'm not racing back for work, I will be there Sunday night... and yes, I'll bring the weenies.

Okay, I have updated the meal wiki with this and added all of the group meals (as mentioned above). Please feel free to modify of necessary.

Also, I can do my breakfast on Sunday instead of Monday if necessary.

And as a side note: leftover sausages will work well for Monday breakfast :9

Good point. Maybe Monday should be a mish-mash. I have changed my breakfast to Sunday (but again: I am flexible on that).

When camping, there is no such thing as too many weenies.

I'm torn. I do love the idea of semi-fine dining. But I'm also kind of a camping traditionalist. All I really want is some hotdogs stuck on a stick and held over a fire, PB&J, and hashbrowns. So I'm not super-enthused about the whole meal idea. But I'm willing to be a team player and if we are needed to handle one of the meals will be more than happy to oblige. Just let us know.

ETA: Okay, I looked at Kevy's Wiki update. I guess we'll take Saturday breakfast then.

If it makes you feel any better, I am a simple person and thus, my breakfast is quite simple. I'm not up for the fancy, but I too roll with the flow.

If you would rather take Sunday, let me know - it doesn't make any difference to me.

[Morrigoon]

That's not a bad idea, just make monday a scrapple of whatever leftovers we've got.
