CajunCamperDoes anyone have Buford s e-mail address??[:D]
CajunCamperSounds great I will bring the smores!![:D]
CajunCamperI m in - just love those virtual camping trips- all the beans & chili you can eat and no fumes!!!!! Should I start baking the bricks of pumpkin bread???? Where s NightOwl Elisa?
Count me in. I've been wanting to get out the cast iron cookware to make cornbread to go with the chili. Let me know when y'all will be arriving so I can have the field mowed all the way down to the pond. Where is Chubs? NightOwl had better get back soon so we can get this trip on the road.;) :D Now this will make me get back on track! (after that terrible login episode in the wee hours.):D
Well, this seems to be one of the threads that lost its first posts. Cajun was asking about a virtual rally.
Well, count all of us at PUT in!
As always, we will even bring some give aways to the rally :D
Might be the only way I could attend a rally. So when is it? Shall I bring fire starters?
OK, when are we having this rally. I could use some camp time :eek:
OK, I'm in, but I work weekends, so can you guys go camping during the week?

Me too. Let's do it during the week, say on Mondays & Tuesdays?
Quote from: tim5055OK, when are we having this rally. I could use some camp time :eek:
Quote from: tim5055Right now I'm on day number 17 working without a day off. looks like about 14 more.
You sure can use time to camp. Sure hope that you're not salary. If so, what a lot of comp time ---hmmmmmm long camping trip for comp time OR overtime -- that's a tought decision;)
I'm ready for a trip :p , when are we leaving???
Twinddling my thumbs waiting, but getting the problems squared away with the board is more important right now.
Let's get this camping trip on the road. I have already loaded the chili vat on top of the popup. I am waiting for Topcat to show up any minute as he will catch the wonderful smell of chili in the air. The plan is to go a bit north from NC until cold weather is encountered and then we will all come back to NC for a bit of camping time in the big field of my farm. From there we will head further south toward Camper Jones and then swing back up toward NightOwl's farm. Anyone can join in this campout at any time from anywhere. There's no telling just where we may end up on this virtual camping trip. Anyone who wants us to stop by their place or to join us, just let us know.
Now the chili vat is all bubbling on top of the popup. I was careful not to exceed the popup loaded weight but it was difficult. I put in the other cast iron in the back of the TV so we can have some cornbread. I need someone to bring more wood, so I can build a campfire to cook over for the cornbread. I am heading up to Virginia to pick up Dave at Pop Up Times and the webmaster. They will be monitoring the board by wireless connection through the big radio tower attached to the roof of my tow vehicle. That means that I may have to bypass some bridges and power lines, but now to worry about that as wiininkwe has loaned me some blades from her lawnmower. These blades are installed on the tower so the whole tow vehicle with the tower and chili vat can become airborne. Where is Buford, NightOwl and Topcat? Now who will join us next? Let's get going.:D
I'll join in when you come our way. Chili sounds good right now. Nice campfire, a few cold ones, and nice conversation will help out nicely. Maybe we'll bring a few of the mutts with us anyone have any problems with "MORE THAN 2 DOGS":eek:
All dogs welcome. Let me rephrase that, bring your dogs. Buford is at the back of the popup and trailing behind. He won't mind at all, except the time when I went over a pothole in the road and some of the chili jumped right out of the vat and onto his back. Ouch that had to hurt. Well this popup parade is on the way up to Elon and brydr1's place where he will join in with his new TT (gone to the darkside) and then we'll head down to wahoonc's and get him and AirAngel to go along and even down to Fly's and MrGadget's so they can all join the fun. It may take a few days to get up to Dave's and Pop Up Times. They had better get their stuff loaded with all the freebies to hand out around the campfire when we set up camp and take some break time.:D
Patiently waiting - we won't be able to get the PU out of the drive for at least 48hrs. Doing road repairs and putting in curbs. They are re-doing the apron of our drive (yeah - it's needed it for quite a while) and we can't use the driveway for at least 48hrs.
This cyber tour is going too, too slow. It could be weeks before we even get out of NC unless more join in. The chili vat is so full and bubbling and Buford is going to have to have more rest from trailing behind the popup. Will keep you posted as we head for your driveway. Be sure to clear out a big spot as there will be plenty of popups that will want to park in your driveway. If you decide you can get your popup out of the driveway, then try to join us somewhere on our travels.;)

Picture of our house -- our whole lot is only 45'x94.5' -- bummer
OK why didn't my picture show up -- can anyone else see it:mad:

Save the picture somewhere and then insert it. You put all of your information on the web for all members to see.
I've been holding off to see what the weather was going to do, but it doesn't look as if it's gonna get much better so I'm about to hit the road with my Van, Popup, lil Spanky and my big fry bread kettle. I'm thinking of making traditional corn soup as well, have you got a large hog, and about a half acre of corn that we can make into hominy? Oh, and several large trees, dead and downed to keep the fire going. (Got to scrape and scald that hog, soak the corn in wood ash lye, and then got to simmer all the ingredients for a long while.) I'll swing by NightOwls place on my way down, she's been busy with a new project, she's making glass beads, and they are beautiful. Maybe she'll find room for her torch and tank and rods of glass and give us some lessons. I haven't heard from my little brother, Topcat, but it's a sure bet that he's caught wind of that chili by now and is heading your way. I'll probably meet up with y'all somewhere near Cherokee, c ya soon!

;)
wii, that's great. I have a hog down on the farm but don't ask me to cut up the fat for making lard. That was my job as a little girl.:rolleyes: Actually, the vat I have on top of the popup is a scalding vat we once used. Somehow I will have to find another to use for the hog and we can always find plenty of wood that has been downed in the forest by various storms that have come through NC. So far this popup parade is going slow. No one has joined me so I may as well turn to the west for Cherokee and then we can go south a ways. Buford is going to make sure the hog stays in back of the other trailer behind the popup. I tried to get that hog in the popup door but he wouldn't fit and there was no room on top with the chili vat and the tower with the lawn mower blade for bypassing bridges and other problems like traffic jams. This I-40 traffic gets pretty heavy and looking back there were a bunch of wrecks happening right behind me.:D
I think we need to start a new thread for the trip. People that read the original post may not check it again, but I am going to get my draw bar back. The nut for the ball needed to be tightened, and then I will be joining you. DS has a Boy Scout camping trip that he can't miss, so I am bringing the whole troop along. If they hold real still I can pack a bunch of them into the PU when it is popped down. The rest will have to ride on the roof rack. We will not be able to bring the bikes now. :mad:
Make sure they bring their fritoes and tate chip bags for the campground. I'll let suezque know they are coming.:D

Better strap them down tight --- OR maybe not:D
OK, if we are going to start a new thread for the trip, lets do it. It may take me a day or two to catch up, but I have a box of toys to give away :D
Hum, toys, I wonder what they are. :p
Toni I think you should start the new post for the trip.

Boy toys .....
Come on start the trip !!!!!
No one else would do it, so I started a new thread called Virtual Rally to make the cyber campout rally easier to find.
