[Brian Crum]

Illegal, Trust, Crazy and Fun... that's what this gathering is all about !!!!

Brian, you sound like you are going to fit in just fine!
Hopefully you get there before all of Charlie's beer is gone????
Oh well, booze is cheap in the USA........they are just giving it away down there!
Gas too!

DId you say Home Brew.....? you need not say more!!

I shall be there Thursday around noon to 1.

I'll bring my friend Sailor Jerry.

And if "The Dude" makes it this year, then White Russians will be on tap! (attached is a picture of The Dude and Me few years ago)

 

[Vedette]

Yes, wish it was just one big group.
I am not on Facebook.....and it seems there is way more info on this event there?????
I jump back and forth between the "Teardrop Forums" ......but get my info second hand from Sandi, who spends her time on Facebook and Pintrest???
Guess one has to be on "All" of the social media to keep up theses days???
This is from a guy that refuses to get one of those cellular telephones.
Old School rules!

Oh. and I have heard from the other room, that Grant and Kay may be coming , and there is 80 + trailers booked to date,
only 67 sites reserved (that means there are lots left) and that Antlers keeps regular business hours in the winter ....like any other business.
No excuses not to be there!
We can't wait!

Lets make it happen!
Just 23 more day until we hit the road .

I brewed the beer for the Gathering today. Assuming all goes well, I'll bring 10 gallons of my famous DAM Red Ale, and 5 gallons of my Dark Mild session beer. Should last until Saturday night at least (which it didn't do last year ;-)

I will load up on ice on the way down so we have it when we get there - got the 58 qt. 5 day Igloo that holds at least 4-10 lb. bags along with the 2 other smaller ones to boot - that should give us a good start on the cooling process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! got the trailer hooked up today - will be stud grinding tomorrow morning (still have to shorten my lug nut studs on the trailer 1/8 inch each so I can fit my "new" wheel adapter on in case of a flat tire - will be able to use the truck spare, in stead of carrying a separate spare for the trailer - saves about 50 lbs. of tongue weight) Has finally stopped raining here with today hitting just over 70 and after a month now of doing nothing after the major malfunction and the installation of my new ignition system, I am ready to get with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! take care and stay safe!!

We stopped by Antlers resort today on our way back from a week in Oregon. It has changed a little bit. I spent my summer vacations there two to three weeks each summer there when I was younger 1970-75 and there was only the office and the store.
Brought some good memories and I hope to camp there again soon.

 

[gudmund-TNT]

ELM, 'soon' should be like the end of this month soon!!! There was enough room in 2013 for over 170 trailers - am sure there will still be room for you to along with it being a great deal at $11/$15 per night for the event!!!

I'll second this ELM you should come, the more the better.

This might be an odd question but at these kinds of events are there like small swap meets that happen, this being my first one. I ask because I get the opportunity to travel a lot and I bring back wines from all over the world. I was just curious to see if there are some folks that would like to do this sort thing?

Let me know I currently have a bottle from Sicily(red) and a bottle from Chile (red spicy)

I thought I had more but my wife likes to enjoy them sometimes

 

[Liddybug]

Swapping has happened before! You're welcome to initiate it!

I'll have a friend down doing MaryKay facials Saturday at 11:30. There will be munchies and such, so come visit, snack and get refreshed!

And I know I'm late to the party... but... mmmmm beeeeerrrrr

 

[gudmund-TNT]

what is this? someone mentions "wine" and Vedette/Brian has yet to comment? what's going on? Brian, did you go to bed early? or are you digging tree holes under the moonlight ??? hopr you are ok?????????????????

 

[Vedette]

WINE???
After a hard day......I picked up a couple of bottles of Red (from Chille) and a couple fine cheeses.
Sat on the couch and did end up in bed early.
But, I am up now! And this thread has re-stimulated my brain.
Just another great reason to make the 804 mile drive to Shasta!
See you there!
Brian
PS
Looking forward to my Mary Kay Facial too!

Is there going to be the "giant pot of chili" potluck like previous years??

<Chas>

 

[gudmund-TNT]

whether there is or isn't - I will be bringing some big cans. Got to have chili !!!!!

 

[Vedette]

Beer...Chili....Oh, Good Times!
And did anyone mention Canadian Margaritas??????
Brian
Oh.....and Ice Cream!

We were so excited about meeting you......but now we may be more interested in meeting you wife??

OH so now they are Canadian Margaritas? though they was Montana Margaritas?? Must be a different variation - ??new version?? so in July at the Farm, does this mean there is going to be a runoff contest between the Canadian and the Montana Margaritas? (first it was the 'Brain and Dean Bean War')

Okay Ted
Your memory is too good!
But, just a warning!
One should never enter into any kind of "Drinking Contest" involving a Canadian????
