2008 Reunion

Hi all!
This past weekend we stopped in McCall to check out the campsite, I took pics.

Good news: firewood and water are provided. (Though we have to split the wood.) There is a great creek not too far from our site where the kids can play. The trout fishing should be good. Calling all canoes, rafts, kayaks and row boats. The road is good all the way in, only a couple of miles on gravel. The camp host is really nice and helpful. There are some hikes that look fun...didn't try them out though. No bears have been sited for the past 3 years at the campground.

Bad news: The lake is still so high that there is no beach near our site. There is a LOT of water everywhere, so I assume the mosquitos will be joining us. We have 2 weeks, so it could dry out by then. The forecast is for nice weather, so let's be hoping for that. Oh yeah, the campsites themselves are dry.

It was 68 degrees at 6 pm when we were there. I am sure that it gets pretty cold ( 40's) at night though. There is still some snow along the road ways.

Cory, do we have the entire group site? Do you know the site numbers?

Do we want to have some dialog about the food, and gear that we could possibly coordinate? With the 4 nights, we could assign dinners based on families, or groups. That way, we each bring enough dinner food to feed everybody once and we are not cooking every night.

For Example:
WED: Ester's group (Aina, JJ, Eddie, Dan)
THURS: Nancy's group (Eileen, Greg, Diane, Leslie, Nancy)
FRI: Mike, Kevin, Coralee (Mike, Heather, Kevin, Coralee)
SAT: Eric, Tammy, Kathleen (Eric, Danielle, Tammy rep?, Kathleen rep?)

I don't know if any of Kathleen's girlies are coming, or any rep from Tammy's fam? Eric's girls? What's the status all y'all?

How about a count of who is coming? Take the poll...please only once per fam. Post a personal note to let us know who is coming if you wish. (that would be helpful)

I will be camping the week prior to our reunion in Cascade, so this is what I will already have up there: (no trailer this year.)
Camp stove(large two-burner with propane tank)
Griddle
1 dutch oven
Raft
Screen tent
Solar shower ( a bag with a hose on the end of it, don't get too excited!)
We will need an axe, or a splitting tool with a sledge hammer for splitting wood. I only have a sledge hammer.

K so post your numbers so we can figure out who all is coming.
