Smithwoods RV Rally - Summer 2009

[cjpoppin]

Hummmm good question about the amount for pot-lucks I once read that it is enough for your family plus 4-6 extra people.  Just make that DO dish and bring it on over to dinner on Sat. or Sat. Morning and watch it empty...
Sometimes I make a main dish and a dessert for dinner or just a salad it really is up to you we SCCampers eat almost anything.....On big rally's like Smithwoods I make a little extra due to lots of people coming....carol

This may sound like a stupid question but this will be our first Rally.  How are the potlucks organized?  How do you plan for the amount of food for everybody?  Do you plan for your own main dish and supplement sides by the potluck?  We have been using our DO and experimenting with different dishes with excellent results so far.  Any input from the Pro's. would be very helpful.

 welcome and no that's not a stupid question I don't do DO but enjoy it..so if you have a DO dish that you like to make that would be perfect. I generally try to make enough to serve 10-12.I don't think anyone has ever walkied away from a potluck hungry. If parents keep check on their kids and everyone remembers that a spoonfulsample of many things equals one Ginormous plate that leaves you wishing you hadn't eaten that much

as far as organization well we "usually" do breakfast potluck sat. morning at 9-ish and dinner at 6-ish and some of of like to post what we are bringing (not required) and the wagonmaster usually keeps a list going on page one
 
Bonnie has gotten an exra site for us to organize all of us in and the food gets somewhat put on the tables from salads/appetizers main and sides to desserts

you will find that we are pretty eazy going and there isn't any Real rules..


R we there yet???

Thanks for the input.  We are giving some thought to our contribution.  We will probably make a couple of dishes for everyone to try.  Looking forward to it.  The kids, big and little will love our campfire roasted Twinkies.  I would highly suggest everyone bring a box of Hostess Twinkies.  They will go fast.  Yes, my wife says I act like a five year old at times.

mmmmm sounds yummy.  I will try to remember to bring some.  DO is always a hit.  So many of us DO that it is great to get a new recipe.  

There are so many people coming I will be making donuts for hours.

according to weather.com the avg runs mid 80's..it 78 there now

[boncrab]

Yes, it is usually in the low to mid 80's. Keep in mind this is only a few minutes from the coast in the Santa Cruz mountains.  We could have some cool mornings & evenings if the fog rolls in.  I do not anticipate it getting near the 100's.  We are really looking forward to it ourselves.  We are currently at 109 degrees in the San Joaquin valley.

[cjpoppin]

We are in count down mode now soooooooo ready to get going....This will be our first really long trip so excited....Is it time to leave yet :-():-():-():-()
