Is it the weekend yet?
 
IF I can get over this crud that I picked up then maybe I will be there! If I do make it, then I also have a friend that may come. I will update as to if I will make it closer to the weekend and also what we will bring. I cant dive with this crud and would not want to pass it on!!

For those who always ask what to bring. Here are some ideas...

(Please keep it to Hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, chicken breast and premade items like pulled beef/pork, meatballs, and shish kabobs. If you have something else you were thinking about and want to cook that yourself, that's great! Some have brought fryers or smokers and added to the meat items that way.) Don't forget the buns for items like hamburgers and hot dogs.
Eggs
(We never seem to have enough.)
Items for the omelets (additional meats, peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives, salsa, wraps, cheese, etc.)
Items for Breakfast (Juices, fruit, muffins, coffee, creamer, etc.)
Charcoal (self-starting)
Condiments (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, BBQ sauce etc.)
Paper towels and napkins
Heavy-duty Paper Plates
(no Styrofoam please) and dessert plates.
Plastic silverware
Bottled water
Side dishes
(casseroles, baked beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, chips and dips/salsa, fruit salad, green salads w/dressing, veggie tray w/dip, etc.)
Deserts (Oh please don't forget the deserts!)
Tiki torches and fuel (for around the fire)
FIREWOOD FOR THE CAMPFIRE (Any amount would be appreciated!)

We also need volunteers to help out during meals for the weekend. THANKS!!!!

Monica and I will be there
 
We're in for a treat! Rick with Vivid-Pix is going to join us for the weekend. He's going to create a slideshow in the evenings of the weekend fun and also include photos from some of your favorite dives/vacations of the past (even old photos that you have on slides or prints). Please bring a few along and Rick Voight of Vivid-Pix will scan on site and fix as well. Bring any pics you would like to share and those you would like to have fixed with his wonderful and easy to use software. Slides, prints, cards and thumb drive are acceptable.
Here's a great example of what the software can do!
