What a splendid idea! It always looks fabulous. Will Yogi be there? How is it for beasties? Should I bring my industrial strength insect repellant?

**Maresche** · 07-27-2006, 07:06 AM

I've got the suncreen and Bug repellant. Just pass them around.

I love camping, especially camp cooking. I make a mean smore, baked potato and chili, but what else can you expect from a former Girl Scout?

Oh boy, camping! Needless to say I love camping. Are any of these sites long enough for a 45 footer? Yep, roughing it smoothly is the name of my game.

I've got the refrigerator and a real stove if anyone needs them because I know sometimes coolers and campfires just aren't enough.

I make these potatoes over the fire. Slice little red potatoes onto aluminum foil, add lots of butter, onion and seasonings, wrap them up good and cook for 20 minutes a side over a good hot fire. Yum-me!

As long as we've got 50 amps to plug into, I've also got an ice maker in the freezer so we should have plenty of ice for the slushies.....as long as we don't drink them too fast.....sometimes the ice maker can be a little slow.

We're not really going camping again until probably Labor Day weekend and I've been going through withdrawals, so this Thursday is just what the doctor ordered - oh boy!

Oh boy!

Yay - camping. Sounds like lots of fun.

With Debbie's amps we should be able to plug in the blender and make some slushies. Now that's roughing it.

Are we anywhere near a lake or stream to go fishing?

**gini** · 07-27-2006, 09:39 AM

I have a battery operated blender I can bring.

Yeah, roughing it................that's the best.

That sounds great Richard, but did LH tell you he doesn't like to do anything for recreation (sleep on the ground in a tent) that the army makes him do as work?

I can do a real mild chilli and definitely some cornbread and watermelon and bring on the s'mores. Nothing goes better with camping than beer, if you please.
