We had a wonderful time again. We got home safely this afternoon. We have booked site 24 for next spring.

Thanks to all for a truly great event.

We grabbed #16 for the Spring with a Thursday arrival.

Uh-oh. Are those the Great Danes???

They and Lily will have to become friends.

Altho, after Cassie nipped her for being too assertive she may have backed off a bit. That's how dogs settle issues and teach each other.

We'll see.

Many thanks to all for a great weekend. John, you earned a sip or two after this one. Great to see Susan too. Got our reservations on #35 arriving Thursday. Here's a shot of the Saturday evening meal chow line and a shot of the DO cooking, looks like I see 8 but I don't see the bean soup DO in this shot.

[GCinSC2]

These DO egg breakfasts came from Jonathan (Chillpoints) and Matt (Mbmbstreamer) Matt's wasn't quite ready when this pic was snapped. Jonathan came back Sunday AM with hot Monkey Bread to share.

We gotta say thanks to Ronnie and his prep crew for the Possum Bog, a meal in a bowl. And that's my pic's for now, just hit the full mark.

I did enjoy trying to share the DO cooking with the gang that gathered for it. We had a real nice turnout and I have to thank Maggie, Jonathan and everyone that took the time to get a new DO and try it out. Joe and Gabriel have a lot of pull with UPS, got their DO delivered in CAMP! IMHO the DO is a wonderful camp based cooking tool that is so versatile but often a bit intimidating. Get a DO a cookbook or maybe even an (ugh) APP that has reciepies, look for YouTube videos ( I prepared a document list, previously posted) showing cooking techniques and GET STARTED! They don't need a lot of high heat, so ease into the heating and try it.

But remember I said if you see a camper with a stack of ovens, go say Hi, well turns out Darrel (Towjob1975) is a certified DO stacker!

Thanks to all that visited the DO seminar, as I said to Kathy several times the next time I present a DO seminar will be my second time presenting one.

Gotta tip the hat to my camping buddy, Linda. She put the bean soup together, I just heated it up.

Jonathan and Allyson, so neat to hear Rebecca play again and Stan great job tickling the Ivory.

Terry and Marie,

So sorry to hear the news, Marie get well soon. We're all pulling for you.

Marie is resting comfortably in the hospital, and has shown some improvement over the last 24 hours. Without getting into a lot of detail, she has better muscle control in areas where it was limited, and some control in some areas where she had none. Feeling is returning to some areas, and she is considering that a mixed blessing. Most of the "feeling" is pain.
A further development is that she now seems to have sleep apnea. The hospital is also talking about sending her to a rehab center for further therapy on the effected areas.
Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers, everything helps.
It's been a long day, and Sophie has announced she needs to go for a walk...

Amazing we must travel 110 miles to meet folks who live nearby. See you next year! We will be in Site 40.

We will keep you both in our thoughts and our prayers. Glad to hear the recovery is under way.

Thank you to everyone for such a great weekend! Enjoyed endless food, tons of learning and so appreciated being able to glimpse into other campers - so many new ideas! Will be signing up for sites and hope to see everyone again soon! Newbies Rick and Julie

They don't need to be friends, just respectful. A nip from one of my boys is a whole lot more damaging than Cassie's. All will be well if Lilly minds her manners.

Once again, this fall's Alumalina was a great rally. I was inspired to put together a video montage of the weekend's activities which I uploaded to YouTube in the wee hours of the morning. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

What great people and an awesome weekend. Totally changed Linda's view of Airstreaming! We made it to Hilton Head in the rain without incident and head back North on Thursday. We are looking forward to next Fall... Thanks to all for a wonderful weekend! John they only get better...

Lovely weekend. Thanks to all and especially to Stan and Rebecca. Sunday mornings should always begin with friends and sweet music...just ignore Pat and Jesse doing card tricks...

The rain stopped as we crossed into Tennessee. We are settled in Jonesborough for the storytelling starting Friday. It's still not to late to join us...
