    I would REALLY like to go. I don't think I will be able to though. I will more than likely be in St.Louis on business until July.....dammit!!!!

    then we'll make it early August just for you Obi -

    Is the first week of August a good time to camp in Maine?

    Seriously, I know it's a long way away, but if I can get a tentative list by the end of December - some of the nicer campgrounds/resorts etc. fill up a year in advance, so starting this early isn't such a bad idea.

    (((Morty))) - my cooler's already packed too - got my camp stove, my coffee pot (I'll make sure to pick up Tim Hortons coffee beans in your honor so we don't get lost ). Got my tent, my sleeping bags! Got Joannadandy's man for underneath the tree & a picnic basket filled w/the appropriate things for her to enjoy her time there I can't wait!

    I'm gonna call it the first week in August, which works for me as well - if this isn't good for the majority, I'll change it.

    I am communicating with the above - check out this place! Right in Arcadia National Park.

    I have stated the dates to be August 6th - 9th, with perhaps some individuals coming earlier/later or leaving earlier/later.

    What do ya think? (The Campgrounds fill up quickly & I'd like to reserve an area large enough for everyone w/some privacy)

    P.S. I would be reserving 2-3 cabin rentals as well (totally stocked RV's).

    Count me in, and the first week of August is great!

    We'll need a plan to import sufficient quantities of Canadian beer too.

    August should be a good month for me. I HOPE.. my only problem is if I don't get a different job, a JW I work with has seniority over me and if her DA is when I want off, I am SOL.

    whoo hoo......... a camping we will go.....

    Ray, I will save hair, just so I can see you in a mullet.....lmao over that one...You can also stay in my old little trashy white trailer with me if you want..it is small, but will make room for you....once my hair is gone, there will be alot of room...lol...it sleeps 6, once all tables and beds are folded out....you have to sleep with the dog though...lol...he does not bite,he just licks alot........lol...

    On a serious note, our trailer is nothing special at all but, if anyone needs somewhere to crash, I have I think 2 spots available....You would have to share a double bed though.....I also have a 12 men tent I can bring....It has 3 rooms in it....It is a huge tent and really nice....only been used 3 times....So if you want to come and dont have camping gear, there will three extra rooms in a tent....I have all kinds of extra camping stuff too...You all really need to let petty know if you are going....things do fill up quick,when camping....the ones that have cabins even quicker....cant say that enough...anyone going needs to let me know if they need tenting so I know who needs what...

    Petty......oh thanks for my coffee.....yes I am a coffee freak and we did get lost on my count.....Tim Hortons is the best!!!! I went with little coffee on our weekend.....I am a little crusty with know coffee.....its like Walter going with know Beer, and Rhonda, Brenda and Carrie with know POP!..( not soda..lol) Poor obwa being screemed at when my eyes seen a Tim Hortons......sorry about that Lewis....Tell you what, so I dont freak out about not having coffee, I will make sure that I look after All coffee, cream and Surgar........I think this might be a good idea that everyone takes some kind of item and looks after it...It may make a little less things for ever one to bring...When we go camping to as well with friends we do the following, just make everything easyer....We have a food menu for the week....for exsample,

    Mondays supper is Steak, potatoes and corn.........Eveyone brings there own meat......one person brings corn on the cob for eveyone, and another brings potatoes for eveyone.....one brings sour cream for everyone , one brings butter and ketchup and so on

    Tues, supper is sausage on a bun......everyone brings there own meat........one brings buns for everyone, one brings corn on the cob for everyone, one brings ketchup for everyone, mustard for eveyone, mayo for everyone...butter for everyone....juice for everyone, pop for everyone, and so on...

    wed...is bacon and eggs for supper.....everyone brings there own bacon, 2 split all the eggs, one brings all the bread, one brings the butter, one brings all the potatoes to make home fries, one brings all napkins, one brings all plates, one brings all cups.....

    thurs...is ham and salads........everyone brings there own meat....then eveyone makes a salad of there choice to brung that evening for supper.....one then brings all untensels, napkins plates and so on....

    not to say that this is what we should all have for a menu ( but this is what we have..it is good) but just using it for esamples....we also do a pizza night.....the kids love it......we cook or pizzas over a open fire in pot irons...we have three or four of them and i am sure other people know what I am talking about.........they make a night so much fun........then for dessert, you use the same way of cooking them except you change the fillings such as , jam and peanut butter, cherry filling, apple and brown surgar, cream cheese and blueberry filling.....GAWD this is making me soo hungry.....it really is a fun thing for the kids........they have a blast making them......So what do you guys think of this? let me know....sorry to hyjack your post Rhonda, but I figure we better get things together really quickly.....
