Canopener 2017

[Lily&Me]

Glad to see vanilla ice cream is coming for the Rumtopf.

I will also bring some whipped cream.

I jarred this up yesterday morning, one large jar to come to CanOpener, and I have to say the ruby red syrup is absolutely delicious.

Raspberries, blueberries, nectarines, peaches, sugar, and Rum....macerating these past 6-8 months or so.

The fruits look as if they have been immersed in alcohol all this time...macerated, would be the accurate description ...but we'll see how folks like it.

The medieval-housewife-in-a-prior-life in me enjoyed putting it together, and watching it do its thing.

Breakfast with the Ranger sign-up

Every year the "Friends of Topsail", a group of volunteers who help out at the park, sponsor a Breakfast with the Ranger which is really popular with our group of Canopenians. In the past, we had to limit attendance to around 80 of us. This year the park is offering us 2 seatings of 54. The first starts at 8:45am and the second starts at 9:30am Saturday morning before the hike. Not only can more of us get a great Pancake breakfast, but the lines and seating will be a lot better!

This is a great way to meet new folks and hear a little more about the park from the ranger. The breakfast is free but donations are always gladly accepted.

Please Choose your preference, add your number and copy and paste.

Our favorite hints for a happy camper time at the Canopener:

3) When you see a lit fire ring - walk up, introduce yourself and join the party!
4) Be flexible and know that all activities are totally weather dependent!
5) Smile and be thankful you own an Airstream and are a part of the most awesome traveling community on the planet!

The first starts at 8:45am and the second starts at 9:30am Saturday morning before the hike. Not only can more of us get a great Pancake breakfast, but the lines and seating will be a lot better!

This is a great way to meet new folks and hear a little more about the park from the ranger. The breakfast is free but donations are always gladly accepted.
