Any interest in a Thanksgiving rally?

[griffsdad]

Ok the Kutz's are in Thurs, Fri, Sat, leave Sunday. Sounds like we will do thanksgiving here with family and spend the night, and drink blue bombers and spend poker money thursday night with sccampers. I can see the t-shirts now.....
 
Field trip to Balboa for Balboa Bars anyone?

Dieter, after watching football from 10 am to 6 pm, eating lots of turkey, and drinking beers, I don't think we will have poker games on Thursday night, unless I consume massive amounts of cactus coolers.

Well then I will save my $$ for fri, or sat.  Don't you play poker while watching the game, don't they go hand in hand?  Or better yet you should have a football pool!

We could have a football pool. But we need the players to buy the squares. We could pick one game. There are 100 squares; 0-9 for top team on sheet and 0-9 for team on side of sheet. Payouts would be when a team scores and scores at the end of the first, second, third, and fourth quarters.

With all the games you should have everyone pick winners for each game, and then who ever has the best record at the end of the day, gets Dee's flame thrower.

This is now a formal rally. Check the first post often for details and updates.
 
Newport Dunes requires that all sites be booked for the same block of dates, i.e., one of us can't come in on Thursday if the rest are coming in on Wednesday or leave on Saturday if the rest are staying until Sunday. Therefore, we may make this a THURS-SAT rally, and everyone will have to make their own Wednesday and Saturday night reservations.  You can still get the group rate for two days before and two days after the formal rally dates. Stay tuned....
 
[Hmmmm....I'm beginning to think that maybe we should make everyone wagonmaster a rally just once so they can see what it's like to deal with all of the details that go into a rally....] :p :sombraro:

Some day my friend, some day.  Problem is most of the campouts we post no one has interest in.  I guess we just aren't as popular as you are!

I don't think popularity has anything to do with it--I've never been one of the "beautiful, popular people." In fact, I was a total geek in high school, anti-social in college, and lucky to make it out of law school alive.
 
I'm pretty sure people can't resist seeing what I'm going to do next to embarass myself and that's why they come to my rallies.

3.  Azusateach WED-SUN

I'm in for Wed-SATURDAY, please.

I'm in for Wed-SATURDAY, please.

As much as I

Lori, since I'm obviously too dense to understand this, are you saying that if I leave on Saturday I'll still be liable for the Sunday night costs?  I understand that I'll have to call the CG for the Wed. night reservation.  Did that at Easter with no issues & got the group rate.

When I posted that I'd be in for Wed.-Sat. that was BEFORE any definite dates were mentioned.  All that was said was that you MAY make the rally from Thurs-Sun.  And I thought that by providing the departure date it would give you & Dee an idea of what my intentions were.

So, if this is too complicated I'll be happy to bow out.  I don't want to be a trouble-maker.

I'm not trying to make it complicated, so my apologies if I am; I'm just relaying what the cg is telling us. I also don't want you to bow out, but if you chose to leave Saturday a.m., you would still be responsible for site fees for Saturday evening. Given that this cg is so local, you could leave at your usual early Sunday morning time and still be home before 9:00 a.m.

Laura.. ..first of all we don't want you to bow out..

Here's the deal:
1. WE have to maintain 10 sites for the group rate for the ENTIRE time of the rally. Nick didn't mention the 3 night min, but it's on their website. I have a VM to him.. I'm 99% positive they will not break up the weekend, especially being a holiday..most hotels don't and Vegas you can't get a hotel for one night on ANY weekend w/o paying for 2
regardles again 10 sites  the said rally nites...

2. by accomodating your Saturday departure THE ENTIRE GROUP of 9 people have to call and make seperate reservations and risk having to move OR not having a site at all. hense the reason for the arrival days to minimize this from happening

3. by you leaving early ALL 9 familys have to pay for YOUR site to maintain the Required 10...It's one thing to all agree if we have 9 pay for 10 and split it but everyone will be using it for eating/campfire

normally it wouldn't be a big deal but when the  rate is dependant on a certain number of people to maintain that rate, I only think it's fair the rally dates are set that the commitment be made..unfortunetly when someone chooses camp with the group they have to suck it up go with what benefits the group as a whole.

ok I'm in. What is checkin time? If its later, I'll probably plan on arriving on Wednesday (I know I have to book this night myself).

We are in for Wed through Sun!

Lori, I find it hard to believe that you were not one of the beautiful people in high school or college!  As it goes, you have always been wonderful, gracious and a joy to camp with!  Furthermore, Ronin thinks you are one cool camper!

For Thanksgiving we can also cook a Turkey up to 18 pounds should be okay.  Let me know if you would rather have us make something else or in addition to the turkey.

Also, let me know who and when to send the money.

Do we dress up for the thanksgiving dinner?
