 OC CampersLooks yummy, Lori!  Since we don t DO (yet), I m making my colorful, tasty and good for you veggie salad.  It s heart healthy and I still love it.  [8D]  And for the sweet tooth... Rice Krispie treats.  How about oatmeal for breakfast?  With raisins and brown sugar.  Does anyone besides me and Scott like that?  We will also bring OJ with and without pulp.  [:D]

 Ah, the Ying and the Yang of " cholesterol for breakfast" .  " Why, yes, thank you, I ll take some of each."   [:D]

 OC CampersOk, we will be doing a heart attack on a plate.
 
 Randy will be making biscuits with gravy and chorizo and eggs.  The biscuits will be DO done.
 
 For the potluck dinner it will be a DO casserole of some sort.  I am shopping for a new DO cookbook.

 P.S.  We ended up at Vail Lake this weekend.  Had a great time once we got settled in on the correct site.[:@].  We also brought and used the DO and just loved it.  We made Mooses beef stroganoff and his peach cobbler.  Our tent camping friends that came with us were quite impressed and are thinking of buying one themselves.

 OC CampersUm, uh,[:o], I don t quite know how to say this, uh, but we re not going to be able to come with you after all [:(].  My daughter s All Star coach, after giving us the three firm tournament dates and telling us we MAY have a tournament the weekend of the 13th, called at 10 PM last night and told us he got us into a tournament the weekend of the 6th [:@].  After me screaming at him that he can t do this to me, I have camping reservations and he said it would be the 13th, I calmed down and told him she d be there.  He even offered to keep her that weekend so we could still go, but we thought that wouldn t be very fair to her, and I m a stage mom and she can t play without me being there to cheer her on!  That s the price of having the #1 All Star pitcher in the family, I guess [:)].
 
 So anyway, someone else needs to pick up my dessert duty for that night.  I m going to try to make it up to the family by getting into the Thousand Trailers campground with our free offer (You know, the time share sit-through in exchange for a free weekend) on the following weekend.  If the coach enters us into a tourney that weekend, I ll kill him [>:].
 
 SimiRich, you might want to see if you can change to our spot so there won t be a stranger camping in the midst of everyone from our group.  I ll probably call tomorrow to cancel.  E-mail me if you want to coordinate our cancelling with you changing so they don t give the site to just anyone who calls.
 
 Anyone remember the cancellation policy?  Will I lose the first night fees?  Or if anyone wants to add on, could they pick up my spot to save my fees and just reimburse me?  Keep it in mind if anyone else wants to go.  
 
 Man, I was so looking forward to showing off my lawn chairs that Randy liked so much.  We had them airbrushed with " The Camping Coxes"  on the back, and they look really cool!  Paul s really disappointed too.  I hope you all have a really great time.

 You may want to read Tracy and David s post about that sort of sales pitch--it may not be worth the hassle.

 I think that if you call first thing tomorrow, you ll be far enough in advance to not lose any money.

 Is this a trick question?  [;)]
 
 Their screen name is actually " Tracy and David"  and just so you don t have to go digging to try to find their post, here it is:
 
 
 
QuoteORIGINAL:  Tracy and David
 
 Aaagh!  We re so glad to be back among friends! [:)]
 
 We sneaked off to Soledad Canyon to finally take advantage of the " free weekend"  sales pitch we ve been putting off for over a year.  YUCK![: (]
 
 We really didn t like it, and mostly it was because nobody from here was there!  
 
 Actually it seemed like EVERYBODY in L.A. was there.  I ve never seen so many people in one place in my life!   And talk about " different" ..we were just shocked at the caliber of people there.  Usually folks who drive lowered vehicles, are tattooed and pierced from head to toe and blast rap music non-stop just don t go camping a whole lot, at least not in our experience!  I was afraid to run into one of the teenage girls in a dark alley!
 
 The pool was so crowded they had to close it off and let the kids in in shifts.  It was ugly!  There was nothing there to entice us to spend $4000 on a membership and $400 per year in dues!
 
 Then, to add insult to injury, the " free 30-day Thousand Trails membership"  we were supposed to receive just for coming to visit turned out to be good only if we left that park and went straight to another park and never spent a single night away from a TT Park for the whole 30 consecutive days!  [>:]
 
 We were really bummed because we actually wanted to go to Idyllwild as our one and only free visit and figured this way we could see it and another one, too!  Oh, well. [:(]
 
 Really makes me appreciate all you wonderful folks all the more!  Sure wish we could go to the Temecula Mini, but Erik graduates from 6th grade that Friday and since we missed his Kindergarten graduation, he s really looking forward to this one!!! (Yes, REALLY!)
 
 Hope you all had wonderful weekends camping!
 
 J.R. and Sue, since we had to come home a day " early,"  we d love to come visit your street bash tomorrow.  Lake Forest may be a little far for us, though.  When are you going to be partying?  Erik and Alison still remember KoAi from Lake Casitas (we were camped right next door to you, remember?)
 
 Anyway, it s great to be back among friends!

 OC CampersFLIP!
 
 Trina - Sorry to hear that your family isn t going to make it. [:(] We ll raise a drink to you guys and we ll be rooting for you! Knock  em dead at the game!
 
 On another note - Kerry and I have looked over the potluck list, and since it is a little light on meat - we ll bring the Spagetti with Meat Sauce.  (Not the mashed potatoes.)  
 
 Also, Kerry wants to do some horseback riding on Saturday.  Anyone who wants to join her should plan on it.  As for me, I ll pass on the horseback riding - it s really hard to do without spilling my beer.....[;)]

 Tamara has been cooking many DO dinners & trying out different recipes. It looks like we ll be making chicken for the Potluck dinner. Boy is this good[8D]. We ll also be making a potato/ham casserole for breakfast.

 Randy, my dtr Kendra went horseback riding last weekend when we were there and she had a blast.  It was a 1 hour guided trail ride and it was $30.  I doubt she will go this time but she really enjoyed it.

 Oh, don t apologize.  Glad you could work it out.  I d feel bad for anyone who got in the middle of you guys (like Jacqui said before, but then it turned out to be me in spot 18!).
 
 The way last weekend s tournament went and this weekend s first game went, I think we d be better off going camping!  I told Em s coach that if I gave up camping that weekend, we better win a few games!
