While still reveling in the joy and frenzy of getting a site for Labor Day, we booked another site at San Mateo for the weekend of 9/17 (Thurs) through 9/20 (Sun).
There were lots of sites open for that weekend, if anyone would like to join us. We are in site 58.
Well we can't let you camp alone we'll be coming in on the 17th and leaving the 21st........Might as well enjoy the last of the summer sun.....carol

:confused: You ARE part of the party :-()
There is no such thing as "crashing" the party...it's posted to make the party Bigger :D

Welcome to this rally!!! If you want to get a Dutch Oven may I suggest a Lodge Dutch Oven - 12" deep or regular. You can get this dutch oven at most Wal Marts. If you work in Orange, the Army Navy Store on Glassell just south of the circle is a great place with a lot of dutch ovens from Lodge.
Yea Kelly and Rich and Carol and Jim (who doesn't know yet)!!
PS DOs are not required, but if you have one, you're welcome to bring it! I'll be bringing at least two of mine. :D
Guess since this is going to be a small rally( so far )I'll get out my DO and we'll have a cook off.......Hahaaaaaa
For sure the "Ish" will be in the meal times......... :J

You should get it. I have a Maca dutch oven and it's 15" wide, 7 1/2' inches deep - 18 quart, and weighs 46 lbs. I'm going to cook a turkey in it.

Who needs to go to the gym just cook a few meals and that'll get the job done....and ya get to eat too...... :-()
I guess we will need to practice all summer to come up with something good to compete against you seasoned DO users! The food was so good last time at NB. I can't believe we never saw them before. :-)

It's really not a competition.......you can't hardy do anything wrong is those things. Everyone just enjoys trying what others prepare....no matter what it is....
It's kinda like using the crock-pot at home. Everything just seems to come out perfect and when it doesn't, no one knows except the chef.
Wayne is right about the dutch oven cooking. Throw anything in just like a slow cooker and as long as your dutch oven is seasoned properly; you can buy the dutch oven already seasoned; everything will be delicious.

OK,
I feel that twist on my arm, coming from my belly.
Somebody had better eat all that good DO cookin' !
I'm there in #55 Friday-Sunday. (At least I made a reservation- I have no idea what I'll be doing that far into the future. I'm trying to sort out what's on the agenda for tomorrow)
I figured out what I do for therapy when overworked, I show up on these boards and I make a reservation. Works wonders.
Carl
site 66 is open as of 4:30 pm today.
we can't go nut maybe someone else can
I'm not going to be able to make this one. PM me if you want my spot.
I'd never dreamed I'd be going on a business trip instead of camping.
I'll be thinking about all that DO cooking I'm going to miss while sitting in lines at the airport...

Carl, You will be sorely missed! For your sake, I hope your business trip is at least somewhere good, like the space station!!

Lori,
I'll be in Madrid Spain. It may not be as thrilling a location as the space station, but the tapas, beer, and wine are good. The last time I went, everyone I worked with was older and nearing retirement. Now, I think everyone is younger than me. Yikes!
(Am I gray and bald yet, can I have a midlife crisis now?)
I'll be sending my cousin and my niece to San Mateo for a day trip. My niece is 8, and has some camping stuff (erect tent, cook something) to do for scouts. I'm pretty sure they should be entertaining to watch, but help them too, OK?
Hope to catch a camping trip with everyone soon. I'm sure my replacement will keep things lively- right Wayne?

Yes, Pot luck sounds good are we doing[COLOR="Red"] both breakfast and dinner[/COLOR] or just Dinner? I'll be doing pulled pork for dinner ( not in a DO ) hahaaa
Let me know about breakfast and I'll let you know what it'll be most likely a egg dish.......

Meat & vegies........Does it have to have a name.....:p

Will your cousin and niece be there the same weekend? If so, send 'em on over and we'll be sure to show them the ropes of camping--SCCampers' style! :D
Spain is not so shabby! Tapas, wine, a little siesta, and then wake up and do it all again sounds like fun! Drunk dial us if you want and we'll be sure to raise a glass in your (absent) honor! Here's to seeing and camping with you and the boys soon! :!
Breakfast and Dinner potlucks sound great!

We had a great time as usual. Weather was great and the dinner pot luck was so yummy!!! Rich and Kelly it was great seeing you guys again!!! Come camping with us more often!! Wayne, Carolyn, Jim, and Carol, thanks for the company, food, and campfire!!!! "Slim JIm" keep up the good work. Wayne you have a very nice truck. Keep us posted about Pt. Mugu. See everyone at the Halloween Rally.

It was good seeing everyone again. It's been too long.....How come Wynn just keeps getting younger and I just keep getting older......Can't wait for the "Trick-or-Treat" rally.
Thanks for the compliment on the truck Dave. I'm a little happier with it now. I took on 27Gal of gas on the way home and got 17.7MPG. That's actually better than my best (towing) mileage on the S10 (16.7). The trip up the coast to Carmel will be the real test. I haven't pulled any real hills with it yet. I'm a little leery of the 3.23 rear-end in this thing but if it keeps giving me this kind of mileage without too much grief on the hills, I may just leave it alone.

Great gas mileage Wayne ,maybe a coldair intake and mess with the chip a bit.

Are you kidding me???????[/COLOR][/SIZE] I'm not touching
anything...........I am freaking thrilled. You know the old saying......."Don't mess with success".:-()
I just got an OBDII Scanner. Now I'll be able to monitor all of my computerized systems...:D.....including MPG (and other performance data), and all fluid temps.
Wayne,
Eyes on the road, not on the scanner OK?
I got a scangauge II and it's truly depressing to see the single digit MPGs as you get on the freeway. I did improve my leadfoot habits ~2MPG both when towing and just on the road in general.
The half a gallon an hour for sitting at the stop light is an eye opener too.
(That's a nickel a minute at $3 a gal. Just don't tell the guy honking behind me while I'm staring at my gauge and figuring it out)
Congrats on the new wheels.
Carl

We are home and sure had a great time missed all of you after you left I think you all should work on growing up so you can stay and play with us......Heeheeee ;)
Only eight more wake ups and we'll be on the road again this time for Halloween and beyond......Total time 11 days......Can't wait.....
we loved seeing everyone. It sure was nice to get to know every one better. I hope we get to come out again soon! Thanks again!
