Looks like Cedar mountain is where we are leaning, so lets make it duck creek campground. Apparently some reservations are available, I will place one in the next 24 hours if I have not heard otherwise from anybody. I imagine that with 14 impaired the demand will be lower, but it won't hurt to make sure.
I recently got a couple dutch ovens, and have the food already to make that classic standby of dutch oven potatoes and chicken. I have gotten pretty good at some more advanced recipes and can make them instead if anybody would prefer, but I think that this will work fine. This means I will take care of dinner completely.
I will also be happy to make my dutch ovens available for use for breakfast. We will have a dutch oven omelet, or a mountain man breakfast, or whatever you want to call it. The assignments for this meal are as follow:
- Abe - 18 eggs
- Ben - 1 red pepper, 1 green bell pepper, 2 medium onions
- Ked - 1 lb sausage
- Nate - 1 lb bacon
- James - 1 bag frozen hash browns, cooking supplies, oil, salt/pepper, etc.
Everything I have seen calls for great weather, so I plan on sleeping under the stars and will not be bringing a tent. I will bring a large cooler and some ice, and I will bring a water cooler (2 or 3 gallons, I think there is water at this campground for refilling).
We will meet at Abe's house at 5:00 for an immediate departure. I will have my truck available and can fit all of us if necessary, although the back seat won't be as nice for somebody (except Ben who probably won;t notice the difference). I don't anticipate it being too uncomfortable for anybody in just the 45 minute drive. I can probably fit all of our gear in the bed as long as most of you are minimalistic campers.
Anything I missed? Feel free to chime in below and make changes to this plan, and we can get a final version of this plan in another post tomorrow night.
Sounds good to me, but I'll go ahead and volunteer for the bacon and sausage, as I have pretty ready access to that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteAlso - Abe's house doesn't have much by the way of parking, would it be better to meet at Abe's mom's house, with the church parking lot right there?
So does this mean Ben and I are switching items? Or am I off the hook entirely? I plan to be in Cedar by 4:45 so we can leave at 5:00. I'll be in Cedar until Sunday afternoon, in case that makes any difference.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't know about Cedar, but up here you're not allowed to park overnight in church parking lots. Might be something to look into just in case. :)
Nate,
ReplyDeleteYou could bring snack food and/or condiments. Parking in the church lot won't be an issue but if we wanted to we could go down a block and park at SUU or just park on the street.
