 griffsmomWOW, a Dutch oven rally with a side salad. And we ll be camping in the San Bernadino forest.
 
 Well, we started changing utilities and addresses. Ordered the dumpster and rented a truck. Have the big bottle of Advil ready. One of our sons will be there to help us Saturday through Monday. He got Monday off so this will be a big help. I m no help to Paula this week as I travel up north again.

 griffsmomHey Scott, Randy and I are going to be camping at Sycamore Cove/Canyon with our neighbors over memorial weekend (I never know what the exact name of the campground is, they keep changing it) if you and Georgeanne are out and about.  Saturday night is Taco nite if you are interested.[:D]

 PS  just read on NNC that you are riding your bike.  Randy is into Mountain Biking and is bringing his bike this weekend.  He would love company on his ride.  From what I remember there are some really good trails to ride on at Sycamore Canyon.

 Jacqui,
 
 That sounds great, but unfortunately I am working eleven hour shifts, from 9:00 - 8:00 both Saturday and Sunday, so not possible.
 
 Yes--great mountain biking up Sycamore Canyon.  Mine is a road bike only although G and I are talking about getting some inexpensive mountain bikes for cruising around.
 
 Have fun.  Thanks for the invite.

 Aill right, this will be fun.  Lori, is Starship gonna be there or was that a " leader"  into the other bands?  Randy is all excited, he loves blood, Sweat and Tears too.  Wow is he lucky, first Leonard Skynard and now Blood, Sweat and Tears.[:)]

 Well shoot, I guess someone has to watch the harbor.   I bet this is one of your busiest weekends there.  Well we will have a MGD in your honor.[:D]
 
 I think I will drive him up to Newbury Park and let him take the bike trail down.  I have heard it is a beautiful ride down the mountain.

Camping Coxes

 OC CampersSince we don t have a DO and we tend to cook easy when we camp, I think I better come up with some sort of dessert(s).  I ll volunteer for that.  It may be simple cookies, but it may be something more like cheesecake or something.  How does that sound?  I won t be able to compete with Moose s peach cobbler.  If someone has dessert covered and I missed it, let me know and I ll change my contribution.

 I checked out the Web site listed, and it looks like the bands will be out at Lake Skinner, whcih I don t think is too far from VLR.  We shouldbe able to see the balloons from where we re camping though.  I m looking forward to seeing those and showing them to Lil  Griffy!
 
 Actually I forgot to post one thing about our trip to VLR this past weekend.  We were sitting by the campfire on Saturday night and we could hear a bunch of Bob Seger songs. Of course, we immediately thought of Randy and how it was probably only " Bobb Seegar"  playing.  We were besides ourselves laughing silly![;)]

 We did it as a walk.  Spotted a car at the bottom and walked downhill.  Nice walk.  On a bike there are lots of alternatives.  Would be lots of fun.

 Yes, my husband is a little crazy about his rock music.   And yes he loves Bob Seger too.  Heaven help me if he ever comes to VLR to play.
 
 I love to watch hot air balloons.  I can actually say, I have been up in one.  My dad bought my mom a ride in a hot air balloon a few years ago.  Unfortunately, he was over weight and scared of heights so I got to go with her.  This was one of the coolest experiences.  What a view!!

 OC CampersWe (by we I mean Kerry...) are thinking of bringing Spaghetti for the potluck.  After all, everyone loves spaghetti, right? [;)]  Another idea Kerry has is instead of spaghetti, bring some Garlic Mashed Potatoes to compliment all the main dishes from the DO s.....  Any thoughts?
 
 Also, are we doing a breakfast thing Saturday morning?  Kerry offered to make up some french toast to contribute.  As for me, I will be contributing my brilliant smile and sparkling personality.[;)]

 OC CampersWe ll make chicken pot pie for the potluck.  I decided to just make something up in the DO tonight and using about 3 different recipes for reference, did a chicken pot pie in the DO.  It was good!  Even my 17 y/o stepson and his buddy had 3 helpings each--a true sign of success!  Here s what it looked like before we demolished it: http://community.webshots.com/album/74475018SFRelW
 
 We ll do sausage and fruit for the shared breakfast.  [:D]
