Hey Moose, I saw that you are going to the Dutch Oven Gathering at Doheny.  Bill and I will see you there!  We are in site 42.

Nope, next weekend.

Stop by and say hi guys!

You bet!!  We wouldn't miss a chance to say "hey!" to a new camping friend!

The DOG starts at 2 PM if you're bringing a dish to share. After that the dessert results will be announced and then we have dessert. I know what I'm doing for dessert, but not for the main dish.

DOG Update:
 
Got home a little while ago from the International Dutch Oven Society--So Cal chapter's D(utch) O(ven) G(athering) at Doheny State Beach and spending the afternoon with Moose and Paula.  The DOG was well attended--some folks even coming from Arizona and I think Mississippi too--and the food was tremendous. Moose made a marvelous chocolate cake for his dessert entry, but didn't win a prize (it had to be rigged!;) )  He did, however, redeem himself well in the raffles.   After the DOG was finished, we went back over to their campsite and saw Tony and Suzanne and their brand new Sequoia.  Very nice!  We also met another pop upper, Ron and his wife Janelle, who have a lovely new Rockwood.  Ron has been lurking here lately, so maybe we can get him to join the group and come camping with us! Unfortunately, we missed FishinBC. All in all, a fun time was had by everyone!
 
The So Cal chapter of the IDOS holds about 2 or 3 DOGs every year, and they are a very nice and welcoming group.  They put on demos and have all kinds of equipment and accessories for sale.  If anyone is interested in learning more about dutch oven cooking, visit the IDOS web site at http://www.idos.com/ and the So Cal chapter's site at http://www.socaldos.org/

We had a beautiful weekend at Doheny.  We invited some friends and kinda wish we hadn't, cause we felt like we had to entertain them.  Couldn't get them involved, so I cooked my pots in our campsite.  

Wow there were so many pots of food and everything was great!

Got to meet Tony! Hey Tony!  And Bill and Paula, thank you so much for showing us all your mods, we are going tonight to get the material to make our shelves.  

Sorry we missed you Lori.

Fishing Tony. Fishing BC and griffysmom were all there and we had a great time and enjoyed the new trailer. We also met another couple who had surfed PUT but had not joined yet. I had gone by their trailer Friday evening and asked their son if his dad was a member of PUT. He said no. The son mentioned it to the dad who then wanted to know who I was. Saturday while walking around the campsites, he saw our PUT posters in the window of our trailer. He was there when we got back from the DOG.

I found out this morning that I was second in the dessert competition. Only 2 or 3 points separated the 1st and 2nd places. The new one is called Chocoholics Cake. I'll post it later. The DOG was a success and we had too much fun and were in bed by 8 PM. We also prepared two appetizers for the Friday gathering.

That's what we should have been doing.  We have a 3-car garage and can't fit a single car in it.  Oh well, life is too short to not go see your friends when they're camping in your backyard.
