I always carry spares...but they're plastic. We should have plenty of spare parts.

no kidding, that sucked sitting in the dirt, tearing into Hera's differential in the heat!

 

[gottwins?]

Im looking forward to that. Beats the hell out of sweating from just getting out of my car!

ok, with Neil out, we do not have a bbq grill.

That's going to make lunch difficult... I don't want to build a fire just to cook a few things and then have to put it out to go back out to the trails.

So, we can skip lunch since we're eating breakfast and then cook dinner on the open pit fire after everything. It'll be easy to cook up some sausage and beans... I have a cast iron skillit I could bring that you might be able to set in the fire to cook burgers...
or
The tavern's kitchen might open at noon but I don't know for sure.
or
someone else could bring a grill... I don't think I'll have room in the wrx for my grill.

 

[gottwins?]

How big of a grill do we need?

I have a Coleman grill I'm bringing (got it on a special plus 20% off... schwing). It has a burner for heating something and a grill surface to cook burgers, etc. on. But its not huge, so maybe two burgers or a couple of brats/dogs at a time. [Sorry can't bring the one that is on my deck...]

But yeah I'd say that lunch can either be at the tavern or just bring your own, etc.

Could be muddy this weekend.

 

[gottwins?]

I can bring mine but it's just a small rectangle one that I would through in my cj when we went wheeling. Maybe 3 - 4 burgers at a time.

are you camping?

 

[gottwins?]

I'd like to, not sure though. Even if I'm not I'll leave it for you guys to use overnight.

 

[gottwins?]

Of those camping, are any of your wives, girlfriends, or spouses camping too? Trying to talk the wife into camping.

Yeah, Gottwins, if my lady was coming she could definitely keep yours company... she's a drinker, she's Scottish "thumbsup"
