Looks like we'll have a good crowd. So far, seems like 7 vehicles (assume that Winnie is catching a ride in). I'll see if I can find out what their policy (if any) is on extra vehicles (site lists 10 as the limit along with 50 people).
I suppose a trailer to haul gear is considered a vehicle?....maybe separate parking.......
Maybe have to put on a rack for the poles....Hummmm

I'll call tomorrow or Wednesday and ask.
Looks like a good group to camp with. I am sure we can spin a few yarns around the campfire at night and in the early morning when the coffee is brewing.

I spoke with somebody at the camp today. A couple of vehicles with small utility trailers are OK, so H63 and Krat should be good. There aren't any provisions for over flow parking. If we get to over 10 vehicles he asked that I call him back so we can work something out.
Cool, thanks....make my life easier with the trailer.....maybe could fit in the truck....new truck isn't racked out like the older one.
But It's good to know now.....gives me time to make adjustments if necessary.

wow thats alot food! looks like fun also looks like a person could gain some
weight what do ya'll normly do besides eat? sit around drinking and tell lies?
or just sit around and drink?
would my dog be a problem? she is well mannered and quite nice
she likes people and wants to take a part in everything
Thats about it from what I understand. Crash had been kind enough to provide links for local hiking trails and waterfall so we can view them before we arrive so we do not actually have to hike while there. LOLQuote:

I caution on one very important point.
I'll have varmints wise to a canine. Natertot will have varmints wise to fur. That's two completely different varmint mind sets.
What kind of dog do you have? Can the dog take part in dinner?

Looks good! But I don't think I could eat a whole one.Quote:

Hey Crash would it be a good idea that we have someone's cell # so that when we arrive we know exactly where the site is or if maybe someone cannot get there at the last minute? I hope to be able to get there early this year but it all depends when I get on the road.

Sure. We can exchange numbers via PM.
I am hoping to arrive on Thursday, but the whole trip has become tentative for me. We just moved my MIL in with us. Her health is not good. I do not think Mrs Crash will make it, and depending on the situation at the time - I might not be able to either. My plan now is to attend, but it's not in my hands at this point.
We are going to try to get over as soon as we can, but who knows what time we will arrive. Someone going to have a welcome meal ready for us?

Well folks. Things have conspired against me this year and funds have had to be diverted elsewhere. Sadly I can't make it. I had been holding off as long as possible in the hope things might improve, but hey ho, Murphy came calling.

Sorry to hear that Winnie. I'm still planning on attending, but my final decision will be a day or two before the scheduled departure date.
Looks like I will have to back out as well. I have a personal obligation to attend to that weekend.

Any additions or deletions? Mrs. Crash and I are a definite yes.
Soon time to start planing the group meal (if we want to do that).

Two of the things that we've done for the first four Jamborees is a group meal on Saturday. Last year worked rather well with everybody picking a dish or a small part of the meal to contribute.
The other thing that we've done is drawings for "door prizes" for lack of a better term. If you have something you want to throw into the mix you can. If you are unable - that's OK too.
Do we want to continue both of these activities? Are there other things that you'd like to do as a group?
we are still coming, but will be down early, early Friday morning as we have to leave early Saturday Morning. Forgot that Bridge Day in West Virginia is that Saturday and so we are driving up there as well.
Hey Crash,
The Tot's are still a go. I'm all for a group meal again, that was fun. If we door "door prizes", I'll contribute as well.
For those that haven't been to a jamboree, it is alot of fun. It is interesting to meet the actual people behind the screen in person. Alot of good people that I look forward to seeing again and anticipate meeting more good people. Lot's of food is an understatement and coffee is never out. I think we had four or five pots on the fire non-stop last year. Lots of campfire talking.

Saturday Evening Meal
Crash - spicy veggie wad
********************************
OK - let's do a sign up for the portion of the Saturday evening meal that you want to bring - post it in this thread and I'll archive it in the summary posts. I'll do the spicy veggie wad again.
