By the way, I'm gone for about 10 days starting Monday...but I'll get on this upon my return.  I'm going to Cancun with my mom!  It is going to be a real getaway from it all.

you big lucky...I want to go somewhere really fun. actaully I just made plane res. for St patty's weekend in Ohio to see one of my best buds


BTW don't do anything I wouldn't do...

don't drink the water...drink the beer :!

[Dee4j]

Whoops...I forgot that you already had a rally there.  Let me know when you find out about the supersite.

 :%  :% the first time the supersite is available is Oct 28th. so I was thinking how about Nov. 11-13th weekend most everyone should have off for Veterans day.

well as soon as I here from Jeanne if her bro & Family want to whale watch or not I can check it out and make reservations.  

hmmm as far as a theme any ideas. its looks like its just going to be the 3 of us so far. we have Sat Dinner & Sun Dinner. even if its not a theme .  we may want to do burgers/hot dogs one night and  we each bring or own meat & buns and each make a side dish to share and we can dubb someone grillmaster and all pitch in and make dinner together.  If Jeanne wants to have a Steak Dinner for her B-day we can each bring the meat and a side.  Whatever you guys come up with is fine.I'm easy as long as we eat and drink beer and sit by the fire  

since I make enough burritos to feed half an army why don't I make Sat breakfast and I'll have cereal too (my kids don't like the burritos ).
and you guys figure out Sunday breakfast.
and I'll still have cereal for my picky children :mad:

and Mon. is pack up day so we can be on our own or do a doughnut, muffin cereal day.



I think lkw (Larry & Bev)was thinking about going, I usually see him every thurs so I can keep him up to date. (we'll just tell him he has to bring some Texas loosey's chili!!1

Hi guys,
I haven't connected with my brother yet but I say we do the whale watch on Saturday since it is my b'day. He's more into fishing in the deep sea instead of watching whales so I'm thinking he will probably pass. So 2 adults and 2 kids for us.  Do we need to pay now or just reserve?  

I'm on board for the burritos for b'fast and the steak dinner on Saturday night.  We can bring one of those big Costco packs of steaks if you guys do the side dishes. Sunday I'm thinking pancakes or french toast(we can do this) and burgers and hot dogs sounds good for dinner (we all bring our own).  Drinking beer and sitting by the fire is definitely on the agenda!

whale watching it is for Sat. I think we pay then if not I'll figure it out and we'll get it straight over the weekend. Are you sure on the steaks? we can all bring our own or pitch in $$ for the costco pack. I talked to Larry tonite and he & bev are coming for Sat. nite only and no whale watching. he said He'll bring chili :p

hey pancakes sound great gee both kids will eat that   (amazing)  Bev's B-day is the 21st or 22nd

I will bake a cake :yikes:  what is your fav?? chocolate chocolate and more chocolate? or what?
Sunday burgers and dogs sound perfect and we can each come up with some easy side dish.(store bought potato salad etc)


what time are you and Darksiders coming down? I figured maybe after work so you may arrive late. that's why I picked sat. breakfast

Dan is taking the day off we may go set up and then get the kids from school depends on what they have going on (we're only 20 minutes away)

I'm starting to get really excited

[darksiders]

we will head south on fri nite...we're only an hour away, so we will probably get there around 8:00, just in time for fire n beer!
steaks sound like a great idea, jeanne, if you like i could make potatoes au gratin to go w/ the steaks...let me know cuz i know jim likes his fire roasted potatoes.  sun burgers is very yummy, too.
wes doesn't want to go whale watching after all, so it's just me, now

I will be there @ check in on Friday
so Jeanne its your Bday what site do you want??
do you want the center to be in the middle of the action or do you want me the "party station"  in the center. its your B-day you get get to pick.


aaahhh the wait is killing me!! I want to go camping now :tent:

Jeanne is Gregory bringing his Friend? I forget his name but he's a nice boy.

I think I'm going to charge up all of Kevin's R/C cars for the kids to play with

[mrflinders]

Well geez!

We can't really justify 68 smackers a night to camp in our own neighborhood, but I don't think we could sit at home knowing that you all are having all the fun right around the corner!
 
Kerry and I are thinking of stopping by to visit on Saturday.  You know, to see all of our camping friends that we haven't seen since LAST YEAR.  Maybe Saturday afternoon, stay for the dinner....... maybe a few margaritas.........
 
Do you know if they'll let us in?  We'd really like to see everyone......

[Dee4j]

sure they'll let you in. check out the website I'm sure there is a charge tho. keep watching the posts we are planning on going out Whale watching on Saturday so I'd hate for you to show up and none of us be there.

[Chez Way]

Sign me up for the chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate and potatoes au gratin sounds great.  As far as sites are concerned, I figure you should get first dibs Dee because there's got to be a benefit to making the reservations and being our wagonmaster!  Whatever site we're in, we'll be hanging wherever the campfire is going.  Of course, we will be bringing our fire pit.

As far as arrival time is concerned that is always questionable.  I figure it won't be before dark Friday night but hopefully earlier than our arrival time in Temecula.

Randy and Kerry, we hope you can come on by for a visit.  Newport
Dunes is a very unique camping experience.  We love the movies on the beach and the crafts.


By the way...I'm on vacation for the next 11 days!  Believe me, I'm ready.  I worked until 10 the last two nights.  Margaritas and cabana boys here I come!   (just kidding, Jim!)

[Dee4j]

I bought the Coleman Road house fireplace grill so I now have one too. Target has all their campstuff on clearance and I got one for under $35

If not I'll still be up waiting with beer in hand :!

[Chez Way]

We have some additional campers.  Jim's brother and wife will be joining us (from Michigan) Saturday and spending two nights...they will be going whale watching and we will have another birthday to celebrate on Monday!  This rally is growing as we speak!

YEAH :-()  :cake:


From Michigan Huh??? I'll make sure I have plenty of buckeye stuff out :yikes:

when you get back we'll get an exact head count of who's going whale watching I think you can only make them 14 days in advance.

Do you think the captain will be worried if  I'm carrying a pirate flag  as ALL of us board the boat:p

[Dee4j]

okay before I make reservations (the earliest I can is Sat) Let me make sure the numbers are correct

Darksiders: 1 (Wes is going to guard campsites and make sure beer stays cold )

Fortier: 4

Chezway:6  (?? on Jeanne's bro & son)
