Hoosier Chapter "Spring" Gathering 2012

[Kurt (Indiana)]

2012 Gatherings:
Spring - Clifty Falls SP
Summer - Tippecanoe River SP
Fall - Mounds SP

[bobhenry]

I think these selections are great. I have never visited two of these parks and Mounds was snow covered and cold ( 2011 shivaree) so we didn't wander far.

However I do now know a good locksmith in the area if you lock your keys in the tow vehicle :lol:






I give it a for what my opinion is worth !

[Kurt (Indiana)]

Thanks Bob, I picked these for the reasons you mentioned plus it balances out the travel time for a lot of our members.

Thanks for the input.

Hey, Dave and I REALLY love the idea of the summer gathering at Tippecanoe SP. We might be able to make the long drive of 2 miles to the park.

Yea!

Let us know if you need any more information about the park.

Dave and Barb Clark

Go ahead rub it in !!!

If we forget anything we can all run to your house and get it !

[clarkbar46]

Yeah Bob but there will be a service charge for you (not for Vickie).

Bob, I was at a Good will Store in Westfield today and thought about you and your love for the stores.
I picked up a "Coleman" battery powered light (with a dimmer) for $3.99.

I even tried to buy a "Goodwill Stores" shirt but they didn't sell them to the general public.

It would have been perfect for you but I coudln't talk them into it.

[bobhenry]

Ah ! yet another convert to the frugal life.


Was in the local GW today on my lunch hour.

The shirt would have been a hoot. Thanks for the thought anyway.

P.S. I know barb has a potato peeler from there if anyone needs to borrow it.

After looking at the Clifty Falls campground a little more, I think that the sites to the north of our originally mapped sites are in a better spot.

Take a look and see what you think. We still have plenty of time before we can reserve sites for May.

That's a nice section we stayed there the night before the Ribberfest gathering

I was watching the "food channel" (again) and they were doing a "low country boil".

The concept is to have a simmered pot of ingredients that everyone (almost) would like.

Here is a typical recipe - http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/daves-low- ... etail.aspx

I (personally) will eat just about anything, but I really like the idea of the "boil" for the gatherings.

This would be a simple (donate a part) meal that we could all enjoy. Part of the fun would be "tending the pot" during the day and then, of course , enjoying the food.

I need comments about this so (if approved) is something we could try at the spring gathering.

After all, the gatherings are actually a "food fest" surrounded by a bunch of trailers, so let me know what you think.

another option , that Carter and Susan are familiar with, is "the Chili Dump". They can elaborate on that if needed.

Kurt, I think it would be fun to try something like that. So the pot would need to feed like 60 people wouldn't it?

As of 7:30 this morning they all show "Unavailable" So we may still be outside the reservation window.

BUT I want 50 or 51
