Wednesday Arrivals

Some of us will be there Wednesday and I know two places where the espresso is superb....

Also, on Thursday, before the activities begin, if any of the folks who want photos are around, this would be a good day to do this.

I will be shooting snapshots like last year

https://www.flickr.com/photos/fantin...57651597466675

and this year, most will be close-ups...for those who tolerate this invasion...LOL

Looking forward to meeting everyone again.....maybe we can have a chat session on Wednesday evening....

Rebecca and I are working up some good recipe's for a Dutch oven demo. Will do a few different breads and some other fun stuff. We are bringing 4 ovens but if others have cast iron and want to join in the fun send me a p.m. and we can chat.

I am also bringing my gas detector if folks need to look for leaks.

Thanks Sue, I sorta figured he was busy at work. I appreciate his work as keeper of the list.

And while he's at it, please add Mike and Pat to the list, might be #133.

THURSDAY - I have two dutch ovens and a semi-decent recipe for baked beans from scratch. I've never made vegan beans but I have a friend who makes them - using onions, red peppers, green peppers, celery, minced garlic and the standard stuff like ketchup, mustard, molasses, and a few secret spices. I could do one traditional pork & beans and one in the vegan mode.

Also bought the makings for pumpkin pies on Friday or Saturday.

Excellent Jon, and thank you.

We are trying to put together a project that may require a gas sniffer.

Will your tool detect methane gas.

In or out???

Looking at the latest list this AM and Barbara & I aren't on it. Your post on Oct. 7 added me after Jaywaltz had to drop out. Now it's my turn to be confused. Let me know if we are in or out.
Thanks, Bill & Barbara

After a very long and tiring day I finally made it to TOG well after dark. It is as always very relaxing here and starting to show some nice color. Plans are to head on over to Cleveland on Tuesday. Octorfest is going on in Helen and folks seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Are we going to have an dent pulling pros in attendance? Courtesy of the previous owner I have one that is starting to annoy me.
FYI, TOG has raised their rates to $20 a night for non TOG members. Still a good deal.

The welcome page for Palmetto Cove says there is private river access.

Does anyone know if you can kayak on that river?

OK..... everything/everyone is fine

Bill and Barbara....NHdigger. You are definitely IN. We will work on the list, it always gets crazy near blast off and easy to lose track.

crosswinds.....very glad to have you join us, you will like it.

Silvereagle6....the Saluda river runs along the back edge of the park and is beautiful but too many rocks and not enough water for kayak. Good for cooling off and some tubing.

A week from today...................

Regarding the list, I see NHDigger and BobandJan are both missing. I'll update the list after work.

The threat of rain may cause some people to doubt the sanity of camping. We'll see how it plays out.

With the bean recipe I can see where you may need the tester. You are welcome to borrow it as it is designed to test for methane but I will likely stay away. I am not worried about propane blowing me up but somethings scare me.

One thing I thought about this morning (not at 3am though) was the RSVP page. I have not checked it at all. Hmmm. There could be many, many entries saying "No, I cannot attend" (but I doubt it).

Got to get ready for work (Retail, it never ends...if you're at the Blairsville Home Depot, stop in Flooring and say "Hello".)

Fact Sheet

Hope John doesn't mind but I put together a brief fact sheet on the rally. I gathered information from several posts here and put it in a summary (dates, general details, directions, schedule, fees, food needs, . . . .). One of our friends suggested that I should share it with all. So here it is and hope it helps.

I put one in my truck, particularly for the directions part. Hope this helps.
