Today I picked up the tarp for the campsite,... a 20x40, and a water hose and reel with a sprayer for rinsing gear, putting out fires, keeping people away from the food before it's ready,...
I also picked up the electrical post/stake with three outlets. I will be bringing a few extension cords for accessories as well. We should be able to get power to anybody who needs it. Lighting, fans, stereos, laptops with DVD players, 52" projection screen tv,... oh wait, Simon was bringing that, but he wimped out on us.
NO 52" tv this time. DRAT!
Maneater and I will be sorting gear to load in the van tomorrow so I can be ready to roll on Friday. The only things I will be getting foodwise will probably be chicken, condiments, hamburgers, and buns. So any other food items like side dishes, will be a BYO basis unless someone else brings them. I still have plenty of sodas, but chips could be other items to bring.
I have in stock,... sodas, plates, cups, plasticware, napkins/paper towels, and trash bags. there may be other items, I'll have it all sorted and loaded tomorrow.
Firewood will be needed, both oak and pine. You can bring pumpkins, and/or gourds for carving, and games/painting. Marshmallows and Graham crackers for smores is also an option. I will have a few coolers, but they will be fairly full. If you bring chilled items, we will try to find places for them until use time. I have some foam coolers laying around I'll pack in. Don't forget your bug spray! The vampires get bad at night and early morning. A gallon or two of citronella torch oil is ALWAYS welcome!
I have four torches and Gibbon has a few as well. It usually looks like a tiki party when we light them all up! If anything else needed comes to mind, I'll post it.
