Ummmm..........what awning incident (wink-wink)! I look forward to heading to the cooler mountain temps and the gatherings are always such fun. I've never been lei'd in the mountains either! Let the good times ROLL! 'Til then, happy camping.

New attendees added!

Welcome Neal Reust.

He is getting here a week early... he must have LOTS of work :-P

**Gina D.** · 08-09-2009, 11:12 PM

Yay! Phil Caster checked in and he will most definately be here with his new to him Bigfoot, AND he will be doing his solar oven chicken for us.

I am looking forward to seeing how it's done!

We have "secured" the fresh pineapple and watermelon, with some yummy tomatoes too.

What ideas does everyone have for food for the pot luck?

Remember, those that show up earliest get pick of the sites!

You can get umbrellas at Party Plus. Sorry I see your not in town, If I have time I will go get some for you.

I am having a hard time getting leid...

I will do some serious searching in Show Low this week for the little darlins...I may just buy a wad of construction paper, string and scissors... we can make our own tacky ones

There is going to be a small give away table. One attendees has said he has a few extra items for give away, so if you have extra stuff to give/exchange... bring it along. One mans junk is another mans treasure.

I have an oven in my house as well, but I am going to pretend I don't have a house and my trailer will be in there with everyone elses...

who says you have to drive for hours to go camping? I'll be tugging about 15 feet ...

We have them in Tucson if needed The theme seems to be big at Party Plus They have lots of Hawaiian party goods.

Tacky party supplies found and secured!

If anyone has any tiki torches, and is willing to bring them, that would be great.. well have to see the burn situation before we light off a zillion of them, but I am guessing it'll be OK, as long as a drunk doesn't knock one over

Chris, you can rest, I got umbrellas.

Chris L. · 08-13-2009, 07:41 PM

Thanks Gina.........I am glad to have the "drinking" problem under control! Til next weekend! Chris

We will be bringing some (4) Tiki torches Ace Hardware has 4ft ones on sale (.33cents each) this week. and the oil for them is only $4.99. so we have oil and torches.

**Mary F** · 08-16-2009, 07:58 AM

And if there's a burn ban, you can get solar LED tikis! So realistic they'll think you're violating the ban! (We bought one and my husband won't let me leave it out on the deck - he's afraid the neighbors will call the fire dept. For real!)

**Gina D.** · 08-16-2009, 09:24 AM

I have 4 oriental lanterns like that.. I LOVE them!

They hung from a stump all last summer in the campground at folks thought I was burning candles!

Thanks Pat! I have some oil here too.

Mary,

Where did you get those cool tiki torches?

I gotta have some!

Thanks,

For those of you that are treasure hunters..

the ENTIRE community of Clay Springs is having their annual giant yard sale "In the parking lot of the Old Church" on Saturday the 22nd. 9a-3p.

Its a long walk, but doable, or drivable in about 2 mins. You never know.. with all the country folks here, you may just walk away with some fine handcrafted items...

or a Bad Hawaiian shirt!

Pat And Arleen · 08-17-2009, 05:36 PM

Hello again Gina, Do you have any Scamps coming this weekend? I have some thing from our Scamp to give away and wanted to know if I should bring them.

**Gina D.** · 08-17-2009, 06:11 PM

Yes! We have one 13 footer coming. Bring away!

**Gina D.** · 08-19-2009, 10:41 AM

I found a couple more torches at Home Depot.. "Tiki Party in a Box"

How can that be bad?

**Gina D.** · 08-20-2009, 11:38 PM

I am having fun doing "party prep".. Let the tacky lights glow! We still have a couple spots left! Come on down..er, up!

An interest has been expressed in "Trailer tours", so at 10 am Saturday.. open em up if you want! The folks here in "stickies" are really excited to see the baby trailers come in and they all want a look see!

As would be typical of ANY of *my* rallies... there is a large fire happening off hiway 260, to the west. Please check the roads before coming up from Phoenix on the beeline. I don't encourage folks to tow up through Globe, but.. it may be the only option if the fire gets worse.

Pat and Arleen.. are you bringing telescopes? There is quite the smoke cover right now...hopefully it will die down tomorrow.
