2 day Trail event for scalers in Marseilles, IL

[johnnyh66]

talked to the tavern...
$8 per person/day
first come first serve
check in at Noon inside the tavern before we head out back.
She said it shouldn't be a problem, we'll most likely have the place to ourselves since this weekend is a holiday, next should be dead.
beer, dogs, fire are all no problem "thumbsup"

Let me know what Hotel, I will get a room at the same place. Don't think my wife is up to an RV trip yet.

yup "thumbsup"

I'm in Johnny... let me know if you need anything form me for for setting it up! Another than a few beers!

 

[neillarson]

Beers, brats, cigars and a fire. We should go to breakfast in the morning, there has to be an Ihop or Denny's nearby.

For lunch, I can bring a portable grill, or do we invite the SCRC and Michigan guy to the campground for a break?

 

[johnnyh66]

nope, nothing... no deposit and no reservation.
We (everyone camping) will need to be there at noon though... that's gonna be kind of a hassle.

Maybe we meet at the Cliffs, run a few hrs then head to the tavern for lunch and camp set up.

On Friday morning, or on Saturday morning?

I was going to bring a couple of those fire starter logs that burn a couple of hrs... it makes the fire so much easier!

Neil, I think that sounds fun... a group bbq lunch "thumbsup"
We should keep it simple... sausage/brats sound perfect!
How big is your portable grill, like a Weber Smokey Joe?

Sat afternoon...
I didn't take Friday off, I was planing on driving down Sat morning.
I may need to leave Sunday around 7am.

Maybe 1.5 time the size of a smokey joe. We carried it in the old RV and never used it. Still in the box and in the new(er) RV.

 

[johnnyh66]

I have a couple of bigger Webers.
I wonder if I can fit one in my trunk along with all my other gear...
If we could get a few grills going, we could have a kick ass dinner bbq!

 

[JHTreyIII]

I have a camping stove I can throw in...but I have a feeling we'll be eating dinner at the tavern...which is perfect really. Who wants to mess with all that cooking/cleaning crap. So is everyone going down Friday night or Sat morning?

Edit: well nevermind...my comment then.

 

[johnnyh66]

we can do that... the web site says pizza and other bar food.
Let's just decide at the comp this Sunday.
