Hard to believe we're only 6 weeks out from the big weekend. Starting a new thread for a general discussion and plans we're all putting together.
Di and I will be up Thursday. I'm be there mid-morning and Di will arrive later with Nick and Bo. Nick has been on the wagon but we might turn him loose for this weekend.
I'm making a large batch of corn beef hash for breakfast. Is breakfast Friday or Saturday this year?
I'll confirm our tent site for those who'd like to stop in for a Bloody Mary.
Start a thread to rub it in we can't make it this year.
Camper needs massive renovations, tent was taken out by a wind gust when we were camping in July. Work schedule isn't in my favor for that weekend.
In other words, you are being mean.
:eek:
Breakfast is Saturday morning. And I love corned beef hash! Are you making ribs for the pot luck????? I'm waiting. I've also hired a woman to help with the potluck. The first year I actually got to eat and it was the best pot luck I've ever been to. The second year we were mobbed and I didn't get to sit down. All I got was two of the ribs Dan cooked and a wonderful piece of apple and pear pie (by the way, who brought that???). So this year I'm going to EAT! :)Quote:

What about swapping schedules?
thanks everyone...maybe Kev and I will make the next years event....just think my elderberry jam and Dubord207's bloody marys.....breakfast of champions hehe
Francis Family and I are planning on heading up Wednesday and we have reservations for lot #1. It is moose hunting season for family. Not sure what we are bringing yet but will post to this tread and on GC.com when we work it out.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Here's a trick I used once to get a friend out of work a day early for a fishing trip: I can have a US Marshall stop off at your place of work and serve a subpoena on you right in front of your boss! Will that do it?

While we were up this week we made our reservation for site #9 (close to the playground for the kids) We'll be up Friday night after school ends. I'm thinking Lasagna!
You guys and gals keep talking about all this good food you're going to have up there so now I have to fight back.Quote:

This is absolutely my favorite way to have zucchini.
Then, to top it all off, she (Pam/JustPJ66) makes an eggplant parmesan that's simply out of this world. She used to get it all put together, slide it in the oven, call my folks and tell them it had just gone in and they'd be here before it came out of the oven......no matter what they were doing.
So, I get to eat good whether there's a meet and greet or other type of get together scheduled or not.
Oh, and don't forget her blackberry cobbler and the blackberry jam she made and raspberry jam.
And homemade blueberry pound cake she's won blue ribbons with the pound cake and adds either blueberries or strawberries to it occasionally.
And, oh yeah, there's still a loaf of zucchini bread in the freezer ready to be taken out and thawed so I can have that too.
And the dilly beans she just canned, and the dill pickles and the salsa she's gonna can and the Dynamites she's gonna can and the hot dog relish.
Anyone hungry yet?
:D
Most certainly! I've been three weeks without my stove while the house is under construction, so your meals sound especailly scrumptious. What time do you ring the dinner bell? :D:D:D;)Quote:

Di, Nick, Bo and I are staying at site #60 this year. It's a huge site with room for a very large cocktail party on Friday night. Keep that in mind. Di thinks I should bring my electric and an amp... could happen, we'll see. Any of you like Elton, Billy Joel and James Taylor?
I'll double up on the Java Bone ribs this year... 6 slabs and I'm reserving a bunch for Jean and Stan. For anybody reading this thread, bring food Saturday... it's the right thing to do. There will be a huge crowd at the community center. Last year, there was barely enough food to go around. Post here and brag about how good the dish you're bringing will be!:)
How do I get site #60A?!! I'll be up Friday afternoon, just in time to set up everything before Trick strolls in that night after a hard day of caching. Not sure what I'll be bringing for the potluck this year, but it will be good...Quote:

I can't quite set up the tent and the EZ up by myself, just not enough arms! Of course, the first thing I will unload is the Bloody Mary fixin's so there is incentive for the effort! LA stopped by at the right time last year. Thanks guys!
No problem, glad to help. Nix the Bloody Mary, I will accept Mirmosa however.:DQuote:

There is a group site.... no? Jon and I plan on going. Last year we had to squeeze it in between a triathlon and a mountain bike race. So far, the weekend is clear.
Group sites 1 and 2 are available for us again. See the cache page for specific details K. See you there!
We have site #25 and Barefoot & LisaS from CT have site #24. LisaS is going to bring her pulled pork again (which lasted about 90 seconds last year) and I am going to bring a crock pot full of meatballs.
A great event - really looking forward to it again. :) We will be arriving sometime Friday afternoon. See you then!

Did I just see "dynamites?" Sort of like spaghetti sauce only with larger pieces of veggies (like celery) and spicy hot? Often served over hot dog rolls? If so, that's one of four "noteworthies" that originated in Madison, Maine. Salute! :)Quote:

Well - does the family share recipes??? Maybe we need that for our Geocacher's Recipe thread???Quote:

Thanks for posting - I will get it intergrated into the book.
Actually, My Great Great Uncle Alfonso brought the recipe from Italy when he settled in Cornville where he started selling it from his roadside stand. Old lady Debee got him drunk one night and stole the recipe from him and pawned it off as her own!Quote:
