Alternative Oct 23-25, Calico Ghost town & KOA

[darksiders]

For me German food, not so much, but German desserts, oh yah.  So, i'll bring a dessert, maybe a Black Forest Cake.  I'll also head over to Alpine Village and see what's appealing.
I'll bring some Sam Adams Oktoberfest, since the Heifeweizen is covered

[Recumbentman]

Starting out great :U But guys please stay within one category. remember each family only brings something for one category. don't say you are going to bring a main dish and/or cake. This way someone else will know what area is missing or available. remember the whole idea is to go from one site to another for the next menu item

I am updating post #1 with the items spoken for, so please check post #1 to see which area is available.

[Chez Way]

Put me down for appetizers--I'm bringing an Oktoberfest appetizer platter.

[Jamesdad]

Please help me with some suggestions as I have no idea what to bring within the theme.I was thinknig of desert, but what kind. Does Baclava count?

[Recumbentman]

Does Baklava count

Kevin, am I mistaken, or is that a Greek dessert?  I am not big on German food, so I too have been looking up ideas...still searching for my main dish!

For those not going to the San Eligo campout, I am going to wagon-master an alternate campout on the same weekend.

This is the one time a year where Calico Ghost Town  actually becomes a ghost town.
Bring the whole family for a hauntingly good time. Enjoy costume contests, pumpkin carving, ghost stories, and trick-or-treating for the little ones. And if you dar. . . take a chlling stroll through Maggie's Haunted Mine!

Admission: Adults: $10.00, Juniors (6-15) $5.00 per day; Children 5 & under are free;

We will be staying at the  KOA of Barstow across the Hwy. They have a free shuttle bus to take us back and forth. Heated pool and free Wi-Fi. Full hook-ups $41.85 per night.
I have 10 sites reserved so let me know if you want one. After the 10 sites are gone it will be a self-serve rally.

Edited on 4/13/09
All 10 sites are now taken, if you would like to join in on the fun please contact KOA at (800) 562-0059 and ask for Donna. Tell her that you want to join the sccamper (Lopez) group and make your own reservation. Or ask to be put on the waiting list and take your chances.

**********************************************

I would like to propose a progressive dinner in place of the traditional pot luck for Saturday night, here is how it would work.
 
Each family would sign up for one segment of the dinner and we would start at one trailer and work our way through dinner going from trailer to trailer....
Does anyone have a "theme" they would like to do? For example, a "Mexican" theme or the "Thanksgiving" theme...etc...any suggestions?
 
Appetizers: Chez Way, - Oktoberfest appetizer platter
 
Salad: JamesDad, - green salad
 
Soup: CJPoppin
 
Main Course: Hardee's, - brats with beer and sourkrout...or maybe german hot potato salad.
Main Course:
Main Course:
 
Dessert: Darksiders, - Black Forest Cake
Dessert:


We have 8 families...How about two families for Dessert, three for main course & side dishes and one each on Appetizers, salad and soup....any takers?

Thanks, Brad. Add an extra kid to the count -- Gregory is bringing his friend Jacob.
 
 Also, Harald (58Air) is quite the German cook so you can count on him to bring a tasty dish.
