Family Car Camping Trip

“I asked her that before and she did not answer. i think she is afraid to tell us. you know its like SURPRISE here he is...j/k”

“lyra-
Are you going to share a site with one of us sited poeple?

The limit per site is six people and two sleeping units.

My family will probably be just four and a tent.

You can pitch your tent in our site~~~~%^}”

“LOL!! well, i haven't asked him if he wants to go yet, but he seems leery of the Undead. we shall see! neither of us are really the type of people who make plans this early in advance...”

“And though I live in Baltimore(don't tell anyone), I was bone in D.C.”

“Maybe you could put him on a leash so he doesn't run off and chase deer through the woods.”

“well, thank you, Tom! as i told Mape-dog (like that one?), i may just come up for a dayhike, because we're moving at the end of June, and that is the last weekend of the month, i do believe. so i may have to be packing and whatnot. but thank you, and i will take you up on that, if i do spend the night!
:-)

hmmm...now there's an idea, Geo!”

“Bone in DC Tom? Really?”

“you should have planned a "moving party"
im sure we could have gotten SOME of your things to the right place.
LOL”

“And so's my old man.....Geo

Moving party!?!?

"Will Move For Beer"”

“ok time to bring this back to life!!

3 weeks and counting!!!!!


hope you all got your cooking gear ready to use?

so whats on the menu?

I only ask because treebeard is going to leave your cooking in the dirt with with yummy ribs!!


gee is that a challange?


YES IT IS!!!!”

“Yoos better be well!
None of this injured reserve crap!

I'll bring my Weber Limited Edition "Homer Simpson" grill.”

“That's it, Maple. Stir the pot. Bring the spirit to life again!!”

“Doh!”

“Where's Geo? He should be back by now, right?”

“HE CHICKEN!”

“I'm not up to a cooking challenge. I will just be happy if my kids and husband have a good time and eat the food I cook. If not, there is always the margeritas! For me I mean.”

“Lyndy, you can opt out of the cook-off. That's no problem, but it will cost you a marguerita or two...”

“LYNDY IS CHICKEN!!!!”

“Hmmmmmm, should I kick back and get hammered, or step up to the plate and knock Treebeard out of the park with my ribs?”

“I'll be there!”

“I thought that you had to step forward to get hammered?

I cook chicken, but I am not chicken. I challenge Mapleleaf to a duel of cooking, female style! She cannot receive any help from anyone else, though.”

“There they are. Welcome back, you two!!! Bring on the ribs. What style do you make, Creek? Mine are a Chinese, red sauce style...”

“Hi Geobeet. So besides cooking and eating and drinking margeritas, what are we doing at the park? Is anyone bringing a canoe or kayak? I would like to bring bicycles, but we don't have a car hitch yet. Anyone going to fish?”

“And hiking, I forgot hiking. This is a backpacking board, so how could I forget?”

“Fishing would be fun. We probably have enough people for a volleyball game. Anybody have a net and a ball?”

“Hiking. Oh yeah! Got to take a break from drinking and eating for that...”

“My ribs are Minnesotan-style, red sauce and super yummy based on my grandmother's recipe.”

“Mmmmm Let's do it, Creek. Between the two, we will have a feast...”

“Also, I am bringing my telescope for some nighttime viewing...”

“Man did not live by ribs alone.

Or at least that is how some people see creation.


There are lots of foods to bring for car camping, but I'm not sure how long the ice in a cooler lasts for. I have to think about what foods to bring.”

“My two teenage kids are coming. We will bring a Sailfish sailboat (9 feet) if I can get the trailer tires fixed. My son will bring his fishing gear I am sure.

Treebeard, I have a net and a volleyball that I will bring.”

“ummm me cook?

tree you want to handle this one?

im bringing my kayak. (no laughing)”

“I don't think that it was Treebeard that called me a CHICKEN! Unless you guys were trading password hell.”

“She's calling you out, Maple!”

“but but i cant cook.”

“You'd better learn how, quick.”

“I think that I will bring chinese food to heat up. That always goes well with ribs. My husband will be happy with that.

I don't make ribs myself, though because of the fat content, my gall bladder (which I'm going to rip out myself if it keeps acting up) doesn't like ribs much.”

“No, it wasn't me, Lyndy. I think it was the ptomaine queen who did that. She made a meatloaf in a bag one time. It turned out that the melted bag was more appetizing looking than the meat! j/k honey”

“Hee hee I can cook, I can cook. I just don't like it much.”

“Busted!”

“you forgot the smoke that came out of the oven. too funny!

ok lyndy bring on the gall bladder
hhmmm BBQ bladder!

if you bring chinese food, you will be teased for the entire time!!!!”

“Lyndy, this weekend the ice in our coolers lasted from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. We bought two big bags though.”

“I like to make meatloaf, but all the stuff that you read about how they make ground beef, and how mad cow prions can't be killed by cooking, I think I only want to eat steak when I am eating beef now. Of course I eat soup every day with chunk TVP in it and there is probably something unhealthy about TVP too, so whatEVER!”

“Okay two bags of ice should work if the temps are not too hot.

Leave my gall bladder alone you flesh eating zombie!

So I can bring my homemade potato salad which is spectacular, and steak, and salad and

sesame chicken

.”

“between your gall bladder and my liver,

HEE HAW BABY GOOD EATIN I TELL YA!”

“Can I chew on the adrenal gland? Or sample the extract of pineal?


Well, it worked for Hunter Thompson...”

“ooops bold, back to html class for me.

A sailboat and volley ball game sounds great. I have two cheap kids' fishing poles and hooks. I think that we need to get fishing permits for that. And Mapleleaf will bring her kayak and PFD? Sounds like we will have fun!”

“life jacket?

heck no

i plan on drinking all weekend and then kayak naked with no life jacket and moon the coast gaurd on my way back to shore!

oh yes fun time!”

“Mapleleaf, I have two young daughters and and you have one young son. They are really trying not to be afraid of the wilderness. Be reasonable!”

“hey, when is everyone planning on being there?
tree and myself are taking Friday off and are going to head out in the am and try to be there by 12:00pm.”
