I may have to rethink my camping vehicle, apparently Pandora's box has been opened in the engine bay of Emily, she may not be ready.....sigh

If I showed up in something else, would I be shunned?

Fingers crossed that none of the kids nor I get the bug that Sommer's had for three days and is just starting to get over.

We're still quite excited about it, one of the only things we have time/money to do during our spring break!

What's the firewood situation? Bring as much as I can? Irish whiskey situation? Bring as much as I can?

Bring wood and lots of it. I don't know how big a rager you will be able to make out of the tree droppings that Hammie mentions (he wouldn't take my chainsaw. Harumph!).

Wish I could come. (pout)

Gypsie only makes about 1/2 of the trips...family before camping, what the hell?!!?!?? (At least some of us have our priorities straight) Yeah I wish he could make more of them too.
Chi am I screwing up your plans by getting out at noon? Do you need a ride from someone else? As much as I'll miss my kid it will be great to have a few days to unwind, what a stressful couple months it's been. And she knows whiny like few others.

I've been a mappy-fool, all the old trails etc. are now marked if anyone is up for exploring.

Jeez I haven't packed a thing, it's gonna be a busy night.

Could you send me a bit of coffee C/O Hambone..? My boss was down in the Bend area a few weeks ago for her daughter's skiiing competition, but didn't have time to pick up some of your work...

Rhetorical questions, right?
