Post by: Recumbentman on Apr 01, 2009, 11:58 AM
For those not going to the San Eligo campout, I am going to wagon-master an alternate campout on the same weekend.
This is the one time a year where Calico Ghost Town (http://www.calicotown.com/) actually becomes a ghost town.
Bring the whole family for a hauntingly good time. Enjoy costume contests, pumpkin carving, ghost stories, and trick-or-treating for the little ones. And if you dar. . . take a chlling stroll through Maggie's Haunted Mine!
Admission: Adults: $10.00, Juniors (6-15) $5.00 per day; Children 5 & under are free;
We will be staying at the KOA of Barstow (http://www.koa.com/where/ca/05233/) across the Hwy. They have a free shuttle bus to take us back and forth. Heated pool and free Wi-Fi. Full hook-ups $41.85 per night.
I have 10 sites reserved so let me know if you want one. After the 10 sites are gone it will be a self-serve rally.
Edited on 4/13/09
All 10 sites are now taken, if you would like to join in on the fun please contact KOA at (800) 562-0059 and ask for Donna. Tell her that you want to join the sccamper (Lopez) group and make your own reservation. Or ask to be put on the waiting list and take your chances.

**********************************************
I would like to propose a progressive dinner in place of the traditional pot luck for Saturday night, here is how it would work.
Each family would sign up for one segment of the dinner and we would start at one trailer and work our way through dinner going from trailer to trailer....
Does anyone have a "theme" they would like to do? For example, a "Mexican" theme or the "Thanksgiving" theme...etc...any suggestions?
Appetizers: Chez Way, - Oktoberfest appetizer platter and We'll bring French Toast.
Salad: JamesDad, - green salad
Soup: CJPoppin, - Weisse Bohnensuppe (better known as soup).....also will have a sour dough bread
Main Course: Hardee's, - brats with beer and sourkrout...or maybe german hot potato salad and french toast casserole for breakfast.
Main Course: 58air, - sauerbraten
Main Course: Recumbentman, - meatballs on bed of noodles and an egg dish for breakfest
Dessert: Darksiders, - Black Forest Cake
Dessert: Glenna, - German chocolate cake for dinner and potato latke's for breakfast.
We have 8 families...How about two families for Dessert, three for main course & side dishes and one each on Appetizers, salad and soup....any takers?

Just looked at the KOA site and it says "Tent on site (available with charge)".... do you know the details on that? How many tents you can have per site and what the extra charge per tent is?

Funny :D when I read about the tents on the sites, I thought about you ;) The deal is they will allow a tent on the RV site, but the limit per site is 6 people and you can have only one tent. They don't charge for the tent. they charge for the extra people on the site.

I'm going to stay on the waiting list for the beach. I'm not a big fan of the desert, it would be cheaper and easier to get Kevin to the camp.

Gracy Gracy :eyecrazy:
I am not a weather guy (they don't even get it right) But summer ends in Aug/Sept. So normally October is a nice month, but there is no guarentee's. This is a Sccampers rally and you know how we always seems to bring out the best in mother nature :D
So I know that Barstow is closer than Lake Isabella ;) are you taking a site or wussing out :yikes:

We're interested in a spot.
When we stayed at this KOA:
1. The pool IS NOT heated. It was FREEZING when we went and it was in May.
2. Most of the campground is full-hookups (not sure about sewer) and they do have some small tent sites on one end of the campground. I don't think they would hold more than 1 tent. I'm not sure if they would allow tents on RV sites.
They also have a small, cute western type play area for the kids. My kids loved playing there. Be careful of splinters.
This was a nice campground but did have the noise from the highway.

Full hookups.
Pool heater was awaiting parts/repair when we visited last Nov.
MAYBE: Too soon to commit to this rally, but would like to go back again.
Understand the owners are new/newer, we had a good experience.
Expect the weather will be cool.
There is also a county campground with hookups at the Ghost town, looked upgraded/near new, a bit cramped, all dirt and no shade.

NEVER know about pools at these places we have stayed at the Calico CG and it can be pretty bad if the wind comes up it's in a canyon and the wind really rips through there. They are running a camping deal along with camping price you get admission to calico and the Maggie's mine and train ride I think. The weather in Oct will most likely be nice during the day and starting to get a little chilly at night blanket weather. Oct is one of the nice desert months so sign up and join the fun......You do realize this is a SCCamper event and anything can and does happen one thing for sure we always have fun.......

What I understand is that it is very difficult to get sites at the Calico campground and it is extremely cramped there too. I guess, if you want to expand a bit, you can set up camp at the Cemetery's parking lot.

Hi Brad,
Its a little to far out now to commit right now, but put us down on the waiting list for now. We are actullay about 2 or 2 1/2 hours from there, not to bad. We would have to pull our trailer through Tahachapi which isn't to bad of a drive. Its alot prettier than the Grapevine....:)

Heres some pics we took when we were there. Pretty nice CG. The pool is HEATED to about 30 degrees, but really nice owners and well kept.
If you go bring rockets, perfect place to launch them.

Title: Progressive dinner
Post by: Recumbentman on Oct 12, 2009, 03:24 PM
Post by: Recumbentman on Oct 12, 2009, 03:24 PM
I would like to propose a progressive dinner in place of the traditional pot luck for Saturday night, here is how it would work.
Each family would sign up for one segment of the dinner and we would start at one trailer and work our way through dinner going from trailer to trailer....
Does anyone have a "theme" they would like to do? For example, a "Mexican" theme or the "Thanksgiving" theme...etc...any suggestions?
Appetizers:
Salad:
Soup:
Main Course:

We have 8 families...How about two families for Dessert, three for main course & side dishes and one each on Appetizers, salad and soup....any takers?

Lets hope who ever has the last dessert has a site that is down hill, you guys may not be able to walk too well after all that food.
If we did this on Halloween, we would eat all weekend!!;)

For me German food, not so much, but German desserts, oh yah. So, i'll bring a dessert, maybe a Black Forest Cake. I'll also head over to Alpine Village and see what's appealing.
I'll bring some Sam Adams Oktoberfest, since the Heifeweizen is covered

Starting out great :U But guys please stay within one category. remember each family only brings something for one category. don't say you are going to bring a main dish and/or cake. This way someone else will know what area is missing or available. remember the whole idea is to go from one site to another for the next menu item ;)
I am updating post #1 with the items spoken for, so please check post #1 to see which area is available.

Kevin and the whole group
Remember that for each stage of the progressive dinner, that meal item (salad, soup & etc) will have to feed the whole group. we have 17 adults & 8 kids. also please provide the plate or bowel for your item. For the main meal everyone can bring their own plates & silverware. plus remember to bring your drink of choice to each stage of the meal.
Please look at who is bring which meal item (post #1) and the group will start at the appetizers camp site first and then move on to the next item on the menu. For the main dish items, those party's will join forces and have one spot for everyone to meet at. ;)

Typing this from Barstow KOA the day was really nice perfect weather for the desert no wind around 75 we even went in the pool. Stayed in the water for about an hour......Little chilly but not bad after you get used to it....Plus I have a water jacket which really helps.....Jim said it was alright and he didn't have one....Tonight it's just sweater weather and the stars are falling from the sky so pretty. Hope it's this nice when the rest of you get here radio said it's going to be a little warmer tomorrow but they never get it right today was supposed to be warmer than it was. I think all of your sites are empty if you need to know give me a call. We'll keep the fires burning.....Drive carefully and see ya when you get here.

We are home again and again we had such a good time with our SCCamper family. Our pot-luck dinner was soooooooo much fun it turned out to be a big hit thanks Brad for the good idea.....In fact we have bigger and better plans for the next time we do this type of dinner. The German food was truly great but very rich and heavy.....
Calico was fun and decorated for Halloween and the Haunted Mine was [FONT="Comic Sans MS"]SCARY[/FONT] I forgot about the stairs at the end....Wish I would have remembered those.......:yikes:
We spent the late afternoon in the pool after Calico it was nice......
I read that the other group of SCCampers also had a good time at the beach so glad everyone had fun this weekend....Pictures to follow later..

We are also home, got here about 2:30 with one stop for lunch. It was a great weekend as usual, good friends, great food and fun in the sun. Calico was very interesting. Hope everyone at the beach had as much fun as we did. See all of you next time.

We arrived home in just over 2 1/2 hrs., a very nice drive home! We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed spending time with our intimate group of 9 fam.s. Calico was fun and "Maggie's Haunted Mine" was definitely the best. We also really enjoyed the progressive potluck, we got our German on with lots of yummy food.
This was a great rally for us to end our camping season. Now that it's the holiday season, we won't be camping until next year.
Thanks, Recumbentman for organizing a very fun rally!

We too are home! It was a long windy drive and we got home around 3:30 after a stop for gas, lunch and benadryl! We had a wonderful time at Calico, the mine, train ride and mystery shack we all fun! The Progressive dinner was a big hit and gave us a chance to strength out the dinner and social time to visit with everyone! The weather was great, not too hot, cool at night, and the pool was enjoyed by Sean and many other sccampers.
Next campout, New Years, see you there!
Mary, Brad and Sean

Yes, it was a good time at Calico--Maggie's mine scared the bejeezus out of me! We really enjoyed the Oktoberfest progressive dinner and look forward to a possible international progressive dinner next time we have a small group. The ride home was definitely quicker than the Friday Vegas road crawl! Thanks Brad and Mary for putting this one together.

We got home in about 21/2 hours, thanks Brad and Mary for putting this together! It was our first time to the ghost town and we enjoyed it! The potluck German progressive was great, and we enjoyed all the food! We look forward to seeing some of you on MLK. After that we are staying put until May, but when the baby is born I will post some pictures!

We got home in about 6hrs but that is because I made Dave stop at the Big Bass Pro Shop...Spent 130.00 but got some Christmas stuff for the kids.. then I have him stop at Corona for more shopping at Toms Farms. Going the 15 all the way there was a lot less traffic even if it was out of the way a little. I thought it was worth it. Don't ask Dave as he hates to shop...
We had a great time, the German food was wonderful and the progressive dinner was great success and different. It was nice to talk to Wes, we hardly ever see him. We probably won't be camping for a while either Don't want to drive on New Years weekend that far from home. See ya in 2010 :W

Wow, Carol! It definitely sounds like the ScCampers were lucky for once with the weather! We went to Peggy Sue's for breakfast on Sunday--pretty cool place and the food was good too.

Finally have a minute to post. This was a great weekend and rally. Thanks Brad and Mary for getting this trip together.
The kids love Calico and the KOA is a nice campground (must nicer than the calico campground)
We made it home in just over 2 hrs, Matthew got to his friends party and I had plenty of time to clean out the trailer. We have put her to bed (the stoage yard) till next spring, yes Brad, I'm a cold weather whimp.
Carol: some cool pics, we love that one of Sarah in the pool, thanks. See ya all next time.
