Title: Thanksgiving 2009 SELF-SERVICE Rally
Post by: griffsmom on Apr 07, 2009, 11:45 AM
Want to start a new tradition for Thanksgiving? Want to eat turkey instead of just talking turkey with your fellow SCCampers? Then come camping at Canyon RV for Thanksgiving!
 
This is a SELF-SERVICE RALLY. As of 4/7/09, I have placed a 3-day hold on the following available sites: 41, 52, 62, 66, 69, and 79. These sites will become available to the public on Saturday, 4/11, so if you want to go camping over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, call Canyon RV at 714) 637-0210 and make your reservation. You can arrive whenever and leave whenever since there is no 3-night minimum. Rates are $45/night. I spoke with Sean who was extremely nice and accommodating.
 
Here's a link to the cg map so that you can see where the sites are located:
http://canyonrvpark.com/pdfs/park.map.pdf (//%22http://canyonrvpark.com/pdfs/park.map.pdf%22)
 
If you missed the hold noted above but still want to come camping for Thanksgiving, call the cg--there are usually cancellations--or post here and we'll put you on the waiting list in case we have a cancellation.
 
ATTENDEES:
 
41 Gracy (Fri-Sun)
47 dee4j (Wed-Sun)
48 griffsclan (Wed-Sun)
52 dkutz (Wed-Sun)
 
 
 
Waiting List:
Title:
Post by: Gracy on Apr 07, 2009, 12:07 PM
We have spot 41 for Friday - Sunday

I'm really impressed this campground doesn't jack the rates up for the holiday weekend or make you reserve 3 night minimum!  Cancellation policy is very fair too.  I'm excited about this place!  :)

Lori, thanks for holding those spots!!!!!  Can't wait!!!

They're being held for us by the cg until Saturday the 11th. Unless someone here has called and reserved one of those sites w/o posting about here, they should all still be available until the 11th.

just a note I think tents are allowed for an extra charge but they can't have their OWN site w/o an RV. I think they charge $10 or $20 a night. give them a call

Yea I called them today to ask about 4th of July... boy Sean sure is more friendly to talk to then the lady I got today  :p hahahaha  Anyway it's $10 for a tent and Dee I believe you're right about needing to have an RV on the site with a tent....... although I might call Sean tomorrow and ask him if we had a double spot if we would need an RV on both sites still.  

They still have some openings for 4th of July so we may book there for that weekend too. So far I'm really liking this place! :D

Post by: Freedom_5 on Oct 11, 2009, 05:06 PM
Since you want the "Full experience" I should let you know that Wal*Mart is totaly rethinking how it is going to do the "Black Friday" event this year!

 At least this is what will happen at my store this year! Now mind you, I had to watch a two and a half video on what crowd control measures will take place company wide this year.
Just like big sporting events or Disneyland, The lines will be orderely and controled! No more rushing the front doors at 4:00 am. In fact at my store this year we will be open 24 hours prior to the sale! It will be heavily staged with people from the police dept, the fire deptartment and others hired just for this event.
 I don't have the info yet about what items will be on sale for the Big Event but you know that the Black Fridays are but a few weeks away!
Title:
Post by: griffsmom on Oct 12, 2009, 12:40 PM
I'm not a Black Friday person. I hate rude people--especially crowds of them--and don't want to deal with them at 4:30 a.m. on my day off! :morning:
 
The only exception to my personal boycott of Black Friday is last year--I found an awesome deal on Dave's electric scooter and knew it would be the only way I would be able to buy it for him without him guessing my surprise before Christmas. It must have loooked pretty comical to see me with my roof down, in a drizzling mist, trying to shove a huge electric scooter box singlehandedly into the back of my car at 5:00 a.m. (Apparently, people don't help other people in need on Black Friday--confirms my original thoughts about the whole thing). The good news is that the surprise worked, so my one and only Black Friday escapade was worth it--but only once and only for my boy. :D

I was thinking we could celebrate Kurtis's birthday  since his parents forgot it on Nov. 1st. :p ;)
 
Seriously, who's going to be at the CG for Thanksgiving dinner? If there are enough of us, should we do a potluck Thanksgiving dinner?

I've moved my family thing to 1-ish...I figure I'd be at the campground by 4pm

so I may be there but we surely won't be eating

if there is a movie out that weekend Cinema city has $5 before noon and $6 before 6pm tickets I also have coupons from their website buy any size drink get a free popcorn (it's like a lunch bag).

did we want to do any meals together? like Friday nite Costco pizza and maybe Saturday nite we bring our own burgers and each of us do a side?

my plan is to relax, chill with my peeps and recharge myself for the weeks ahead..gee maybe I can get that scarf done...LOL

We are home safe.  We had a GREAT time.  It was very nice to have an extended stay, and be close to home so we got home really early.
 
Only a SCCampers campout can have red flag conditions for two days, then have rain for two days, then be windy again before you leave.  CRAZY.  It never rained for very long or very hard, so we all survived.
 
Thanks to Lori, Dave and Dee for all the fun and Food!

This was our first time camping over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was AWESOME! Of course, like Dieter said, the weather held true to SCCampers' tradition, with warm temps, high winds, and extreme fire danger Wednesday and Thursday (no campfires allowed), to cool and cloudy on Friday with light rain sprinkles as we sat around the campfire, on-and-off rain showers on Saturday, and back to high winds and heat on Sunday! :eyecrazy: But like the SCCampers we are, it didn't ruin our fun.
 
Cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner in dutch ovens was surpisingly stress-free and delicious. I cooked an 11-pound turkey in Dave's Maca DO, and I stacked the cornbread-sage dressing and green bean casserole on top of that. (I'll try to post some pictures a little later.) We did mashed potatoes the old-fashioned way, and my mom made cranberry sauce and brought pumpkin and pecan pies. Everything turned out pretty well, although I've already made some mental notes for next year so that the bottom of the stuffing doesn't get burnt. Yes, we're already planning on doing this again next year, and Dave has already offered to deep-fry a turkey. YUM!
 
Thanks Brian annd Marcie for stopping by on your bike ride. It was, as always, wonderful to see you. Sorry you couldn't make it back for gumbo, but I totally understand wanting to get those Xmas lights up. Hope you didn't get too wet on the ride home!
 
Thanks also to Dee and Dieter and Dawnne for sharing their dinner and dessert last night. It was fun hanging out by the fire with the kids watching movies outside. Griffin woke up this morning and said he wished we had just one more day. Me too. :)
 
I'm glad everyone had a great time and wants to do it again next year. Maybe more SCCampers will join us?!! ;) I don't how early Canyon RV will accept reservations, but calling sooner rather than later is probably a good idea. Dave liked the site we were in so we would try for that one again.

Here are a few shots from my camera. I didn't take too many--too busy cooking! I'll post more from Dave's camera later...

Lori, looks like you really cooked up an incredible meal!  I'm glad you didn't get dumped on with rain.  We didn't have much here, so I was hoping that you'd be okay, too.  But the wind was another story.  Glad you survived that.

I just might join you next year!  My trailer and Explorer are at the shop getting all set up with a better hitch so the trailer will ride level.  I'll have it back in time to take it out this weekend with another group for its maiden voyage.  But when you make reservations for next year let me know ... I'll join you!

Thanks for sharing your pictures!

Laura -- and Jed

Lori I need the name of that champagne!  Really no joke.  Dawnne loved it.  Wish I had a video camera for her trip to the bathroom.  She couldn't walk!! ha ha

Glad you all made it home okay. It was a nice break on our bike ride to stop by and visit. Sorry we missed Dieter, Dawnne and the boys. But when the weather started to turn it was time to hit the bike trail. We rode in and out of rain showers the whole way home.
Lori the pics tell the story. It looks like a great feast.

See you all at Flying Flags.

Sound's like everyone had a great time.............Lori the food looked great!!!, Hope to see everyone soon. We thought of going up to Hanna flats but the news said it was Coooold and snowing , like Carol said. Dave have you ever had a deep fried Turkey ??? I havent , but I hear it's great.
Title:
Post by: griffsmom on Nov 29, 2009, 10:14 PM
Dieter--the champagne wasn't anything special or too expensive--just Korbel extra dry. I love champagne on holidays and am glad Dawnne liked it too. But in Dawnne's defense, I'm sure it wasn't the champagne that made the walk to the bathroom difficult--I'm sure it was the weight of that darned boot...and maybe Dee's Blue Bombers. ;)
 
Mike--Dave has deep fried turkeys at home a couple of times. The first time, he injected the bird with something and I wasn't a fan. The second time, he kept it simple and the turkey was outstanding. I know it'll be great next year and am a little embarrassed to admit that I'm already looking forward to it.  :o

Mike, I've have deep fried a turkey about 8 to 10 times and it is the best tasting turkey. It's also very fast - 3 minutes per pound and dangerous. Doing a turkey in a smoker is also very good but takes about 12 hours to do. My third favorite is now doing a turkey in a DO.

Oops! I stand corrected--Dave has fried a turkey at home 8 to 10 times. All of them were wonderful except the first time when he did that injection thing. :D I like turkey in the DO second-best. Turkey in the smoker? For me, not so much....

I think it was the fact that she had a hard mikes the champagne and the bomber in like an hour.  I have never seen her like that.  It was pretty funny, and a little irritating all at the same time...

I don't get why irritating...the poor woman has to deal with four boys and has had at least two surgeries and either a wheelchair stuck to her butt or a boot permanently attached to her leg for the entire time since you started camping with SCCampers, and yet she still gets up at 5 am and walks a couple of miles before making breakfast and lunches, getting you all off to work and school, doing homework with three kids, making dinner, doing laundry, cleaning the house, and all the other things I'm sure she manages to squeeze in in-between all those things. Heck, I can't believe she doesn't drink more often! :yikes::eyecrazy::sombraro:
 
And you always seemed like such an understanding husband (just stirring the pot) ;) :p :D
