Its all good Cowboy, yourin good company. Jennie is freaking out herself.

[parnold]

This ain't nuthin'

Last year at Crossroads of America, there were 120 trailers. Now that was one helluva buffet line!

[Woodbutcher]

Maybe a good time to ask this.
What can I expect going to a gathering like this. I saw on the IRG pics a buffet and wondered ok do i need to plan something in my dinner to share with others. will it be go do your own thing till dinner time. really new at this.

Forrest, Most gatherings I have been to go pretty much the same. Slow Cowboy had never been to one so we decided to bring the gathering to him. So the idea was to do a traditional gathering as I know it. Since most of us are coming a good distance the idea is to spend time as a group. The easiest way is meals. This leaves the day time for site seeing ,exploring or just visiting a camp. You are welcome to join into everything or as much as you want. I will guaranty when you will leave you will think you have always known us. It happens every time. Don't stress over the details. We will have a great time.

Paul was right on with the food. Since we are a distance from town I thought we would have Friday and Saturday dinners together as well as Saturday Breakfast. If you don't want to join us for any meals that is perfectly fine. It may not be for everyone. But as it stands now there is no burn ban so we can grill and Dutch Oven cook for those that like it. Make or buy anything you like . It does not need to be fancy or a lot. Just something to pass.

I started a separate thread for the meals to make it easier.....

We did lose one today....Lynn (Wannabe) had to cancel.

You will do fine Slow. Everyone knows you already, you just haven't met yet. We are all driving across the USA to shake your hand

[shawnandherbie]

Well slow look at it like this......... if your the first to be there, you will not have to set up in front of a croud but if you show up late and everyone sees you pull up and start setting up there will be no escape from people asking if you want help hahaha. i got dibs on the spot thats down wind from everyone so when the stoves get fired up ill smell it all! So for a fire pit to keep us warm........ i didnt see or hear about that yet and are we going to have one big fire pit or multiple fires?

[Mukilteo]

There are two Geocache's near the lake for anyone into it.

[Woodbutcher]

Hey Slow, good to see ya back on the forum. I watched the national news and did not see anything about a cowboy getting shot so you must have done Ok meeting the parents.

Bring the Turkey Fryer and propane for Saturday breakfast....cause you and I are cooking Omelets for those that want some. A few dozen farm fresh eggs would be nice. Don' forget your camera and Dutch Oven and something to make in it. Do you have a lid lifter for the DO? Oh and some patience for the city slickers!!

[parnold]

I use a welding glove for my DO lid lifter.

[shawnandherbie]

This gathering will be my first gathering! As well as my trip coast to coast with as many national parks i can endur! Ive also installed everything on my trailer, lights, switches, battery, solar,insulation, sink, custom 12v a/c........ this will be the ultimate test for the little trailer so thanks agins to slow and wood butcher for setting this all up. Fingers crossed for good weather! See everyone soon

Shawn and herbs

[sagebrush]

Well that explains the coffee shortage here!

I was about to fall asleep all the way from lusk. I held the pedal down till I got to casper. and filled my butt up with coffee!

Hey, Slow, I've heard of coffee enemas but I think you're supposed to drink the coffee!

By the way, there were approximately 241 people at the IRG Redwoods gathering. Are you ready to handle something like that?!!!

[suckerpunched]

Woodbutcher,,,Slow,,,,
I will have to move to the maybe list, as much as I don't want to.....Was planning on taking friday off and leaving early,,,but....apparently the payroll people at the company I work for made a mistake last February.....it was my five year aniversary so they gave me 3 weeks vacation,,,,now they're saying we don't start accruing the third week till then and have to wait till our sixth year for it......soooooo,,,,they took back 40 hours from me leaving me with one day for the next eight months.....as we have no sick leave I need to save it for doctor's appts or for being sick...thinking I had 120 hours vacation,,,I took days off to go camping and had to leave one day early due my screwed up back. If something changes I'll try to make it. Hell I make a mistake and I pay for it,,,,they make one,,,,I pay for it,,,,,go figure.....roll on retirement....If I do make it just for one nite,,,,I'll find a place in the trees to park...

[Woodbutcher]

TC, that sucks. Sorry to hear that news. If something changes, or they feel bad that you now have to cancel a planned trip and let you go, come ahead!!

[gdpipkorn]

Oh Boy!! Can somebody HELP! I was shaping the banks and.....
See you all in a few days.
