How about December 13 - 15? Geminid meteor shower peaks sometime Friday, most likely evening. Will bring telescopes.

Or else November 8 - 9?

.....and as a good friend of mine always says, "Don't let the weather prevent you from taking a trip."

Dec 13-15 works for me! Don't have a telescope, but love to watch "shooters" in the sky.

Cooking under an awning is nice, BUT, it will get full of soot.
Instead, everything I bring, will be cooked very early that day or the night before.
That way it can cook slowly, giving it that "WOW" taste and tenderness. Hey, good prime rib is always cooked slowly, but carefully.
Please count Maxine and I in, at least during the course of one day. For 14 years there was always a 89 345 motorhome here for me to use, but it is on a trip for now. May or may not be back by mid December.
Regardless, all we need to know, is how many and where. We will have "Tri-tip" (to die for), brats (that will knock your socks off), secret recipe "garlic bread" (oh yeh, gotta have garlic bread that is taken to levels unheard of). We will also fix a tub of outrageous baked beans that would go good with that, followed by two different homemade cheesecakes. Pineapple is one and key lime is the other.
Hey, after your socks are gone and you died, what's left????

Count us (2) in.

Dec 13-15 sounds good, tenatively. Have to see what my wife's finals schedule is. May be there late Friday. We will have 3.

uwe · 09-25-2002, 01:45 PM

We will also try to make it Dec 13-15. I be darned if I miss Andy's grub.
One more check with the family's schedule, but it looks good on my side.
2 Adults, 2 kids. I don't care if it's paved or not. I'd appreciate a dump station or at least permission for grey water disposal. Black last us for a few days, grey tank is tiny.
Look forward!

Bette, Gary Norgan started this thread. You can email him by clicking on his profile. Hope to see you in December!

Your desert trip sounds like great fun. Our son graduates from college that weekend, so that lets us out. I hope some of you post about the outing, and let us know if there will be a repeat.

I wish I could be a California girl.

This Dakota dame will live vicariously...can't wait to hear how it goes.

Hi all: New to the list this week so just saw this thread. Definately put me on the list for upcoming trips to the desert. Will check my schedule for the dates in Nov and Dec. Off-payment is OK with me - have Landrover will travel. Will be going to the Vintage Airstream Rally next week in Santa Maria for a few days, but I really like the idea of weekend rallys since we usually can't get out of town until Friday.

Welcome to the forum john. Hope to see you at Joshua Tree in December.

GoldFever · 10-21-2002, 05:00 PM

Hi John. Your name has been added to my list. I'm wondering if everyone on the "list" would like to have the list?

Okay. Let's get to the business.

1) December is still on.

2) I am getting really tired of working so have decided to take an earlier trip out to Joshua Tree on the weekend of Veteran's Day.....that would be November 8 - 11. I have to play trumpet in the local orchestra Friday night the 8th so will be leaving for Joshua Tree Saturday morning.....early.

If anyone else is of the mind to join me, my wife, son (senior in HS) and daughter (junior in HS) on this weekend, we'd enjoy the company. Probably do some hiking, biking, astronomy, and eating (something my teens like to do often

).

Cottonwood campground, nearest south entrance, off the I-10 east of Palm Springs, just before you get to Chiriaco Summit (heading east, that is).

I will call the park to see if there will be space available at this late date.

We will leave for home sometime Monday. Should be a good weekend, with the weather being cool as it has the last few days..
Email me at gnorgan@pe.net with questions, etc.

GoldFever · 10-23-2002, 10:21 PM

FYI, Cottonwood Campground is "first-come, first-camp" with no reservations. Soooooooooo......
If they are all full Saturday A.M. then we will camp outside the south entrance and park boundary. We've done this before just off the main road up to the park.

LKappenman · 10-24-2002, 10:33 AM

We will be in So Cal for Thanksgiving in Huntington Beach to visit our son. We are So. Dakota transplants, will I am Louise is from Wash. State.
Not sure how long we will be in the area have a Uncle to visit in Palm Springs and a couple of others.

Is an Avion from Phoenix welcome to your December get together?

gwsullivan · 10-29-2002, 02:58 PM

I would say an Avion from Phoenix would be most welcome. Why don't you send Gary Norgan an email and ask him to add you to the list.
See you in December.
