Post by: Dee4j on Sep 12, 2007, 12:11 AM
well I see Sal deleted my thread..maybe you don't want anyone to camp with us ;)  :p

maybe waiting until after the campout is past may be a good
idea..or even better lock the thread and forward it to the main thread...I see people reading  a LOT of "outdated stuff" all the time like NEW MEMBERS..not sure what constitutes outdated the thread was just barely over a month old

anyway OC Campers has moved their site but has not cancelled their original reservation so site #5 is available

please see thread

Hey Dee,
can you edit the title to say that this is for a 2008 Rally.
It just might get more interest, and Sal might not delete it again. :D

And who knows, we just might make it next year.

p.s. Sal, Thanks for stepping up and taking over Moderator for Nor-Cal group.
We'll try to keep it civil, and not get the topics too heated ;)

Hi Kevin..Site #5 is open and guess what it's NOT next to me :D
anyway my original one said 2008 like how it is listed in the sccampers Board...I tried to fix the title but it only added it to the small print next to the post #1 but not the "big" title..

Maybe it will take Sal to fix that :confused:


usually we don't post our rallies in Both , but this is a "meet in the middle" location like pismo

Thanks for the offer of site #5, but Wayne said he would call and book a site for us, so pull out 2 more cactus cooler cups and put our names on them ;)

I'm still a Mod so I fixed the title to include 2008.

I thought it was for 2007 that's why I took it out. As such I thought it was outdated and since it was from a differrent group It fit more in your own group. I still see it as a better idea to post a link and have it point to the thread in your own group and have all the disscussion there. This was discussed at our last campout and if Nick had been there he would have known.
This is NorCal Campers and we are just trying to relieve the confusion.

Actually, just because a thread is "old," it shouldn't be deleted. Part of the wealth of PUT is that it has info for newbies or "lurkers" (or even a long-time member who wants to take a trip down nostalgia road) by being able to use the search function and access info that may have been archived.
 
If no one posts to a thread, it'll eventually wind its way down to subsequent pages and you won't have to see it. Of you can just click on "view new posts" at the top of each PUT page when you log on if you don't want to keep seeing old posts.

It was deleted because at the time I thought it was dated, nothing had been posted for quite awhile, and it was not about Northern Cal.!
At any time anyone could go to YOUR group and see all the info!
We have discussed this among the members of our group and are trying to get
the information out about Northern Cal. not central Cal. or southern Cal.!

I am quite sure the search function would be able to find it all in your own group!

Hi Sal I accept your apology for deleted my original thread.

But ..in Lori's defense ,I must say this since it was my thread to begin with:

I'm really not liking this "North/South thing"...First of all this campout is directly inland from Pismo were for the last how many years we have had our "meet in the middle" rally to bring our groups TOGETHER....This does pertain to the Northern group as it is a rally in a reasonable distance for you guys to join....I notice you mention "not a central goup"
so what area of California does that pertain too?

Our Moderator has not deleted any threads "Norcal" has started in the SCCampers forum, as a matter of fact, Other than the disneyland inquiry all the posts in sccampers from Norcal has been rabble rousing...nothing about camping rallies
IMHO 6 weeks is not that long. (I also noticed zoom is gone which last post was only 3 weeks ago)

maybe you need to posts some guidelines on your criteria for "what is acceptable" to post in the new "Norcal" forum and what period of time is "outdated"

WOW!And I quote: "We have discussed this among the members of our group and are trying to get the information out about Northern Cal. not central Cal. or southern Cal.!" un-quote
 
I would think that we, the ("I guess former?") sister club of our Northerners, would only help in getting the NorCal name out there.  Judging from an activity standpoint, we (SCCampers) are the Super Wal-Mart of the West Coast.  We enjoy the meet in the middle campouts, and alot of SoCal members show up to these events to prove it.  Maybe if SCCampers plan a Buellton or Pismo trip and place it in the NorCal thread, it may entice more people to join so they can meet people from down south.  I know that's why we made the Pismo trip a couple of times, so we can meet some of you Northerners.   That's all I have to say about that.

Ok Ok so we did talk about getting the new NorCal group more up and running. But I speak for myself and I have no issue with sharing mutual info that is appropriate for both groups. I know a lot of you have been with Nickneffcough and now the sister SSC group for some time and if animosities exist, well being the newest member, they don

Well I was hoping Wavery was going to call them in the morning, and see if they had any sites left, but Wayne being the trouble maker that he is, forgot to call.

So Dee, put us down for site # 5, and get our names on two cactus cooler cups :D

But if you ever show up at Dee's site,
pay her a few compliments, like how nice her hair is today, or that's a pretty dress she's wearing, she will pour you a cactus cooler.

I've had a few, but have no idea what they are ;)

Anyway, I just wanted to invite you and everyone in NorCal Campers to any and all SCCampers rallies. We don't care where people come from


Wow.  I am not sure how this happened, but, despite my numerous visits to PUT and clicking on "show new posts", I (somehow?) never saw or noticed this thread - or the allegedly "deleted" predecessor!

I have to balk at this, though - July 2008???????

I barely know what I will be doing NEXT MONTH.  I am trying to plan Thanksgiving.  Christmas is a blurry future.  Next July????!!!!

The only thing I can estimate, is that our 2nd daughter will be approximately 6 months old by then, and Shelby will be a whopping 4 :)


********


That said,  I appreciate Sal's goal; we all talked, and our desire is to try to focus the new "NorCal Campers" forum to our area so that we can coax/lure/deceive/trick new people to poking their heads in here and helping us re-vitalize this area.

Sadly, a perfect example is... SURFcampers.  Uh, hello, last time I checked, San Francisco was quite darned closed to Sacramento and the entire Central Valley... I was happy when they reached out and joined us at Pismo, but guess we've been so inactive that they have forgotten about us :(

(of course, now they're Toy-Ho's, it may be even harder to convince them to camp with us "locals"! :) )





So, I know I have no hard feelings - I know Kelly and I would like to do Newport Dunes (we just have to figure out the work/baby thing); I think 2 STRONG groups in CA will help both of us... I just want to see the NorCal side regain some momentum again :)



Oh, and don't EVEN get me started on Cactus Coolers.  Yum!!!!  :-()

Yeah, that is what I meant -- inactive with NorCal'ers... I know they do a lot of camping with you Southerners (hence how I knew they had upgraded!).

I'm hoping to get NorCal more active so we can get a larger group of "regular" campers - as campouts are more fun with larger groups.

Cactus cooler...  Thanks to those, I've started buying one of every type of energy drink I can find, then we've been doing "taste tests" on them (Kelly, me, my friend and his wife (when they are over)).

We've each ranked them from 1-10 (raw, or un-"diluted").  I think we're up to about 30 so far.  A few that stood out (we all gave 8+ or 9 to... none have earned a 10):
Full Throttle Blue Demon (Blue Agave)
SoBe Essentials Orange
Coolah (tastes just like 7-up or Squirt!)

Runners up:
Amp (Mountain Dew)
Amp Code Red (uh, Code Red Mountain Dew...)

Best Diet:
Diet Full Throttle Fury (red can)
(diet, as you might as well save the calories for the ALCOHOL!)

Post by: Dee4j on Sep 24, 2007, 07:31 PM
Monster Green label is our energy drink of choice...can't stand any of the orange flavored ones...

Surfcampers new Trailer is NICE!!

Glen hope you sign up for Newport , it would be good to see you guys again
