Good Times

I wan to thank all of you for the time that we could spend together on the Eclipse trip. I don't underestimate the coordination needed to have all of us in the same place at the same time. Thanks again for the effort to make this a true Great American Adventure.

To those that were racked with worry, yes my polo shirt was safe and sound in my closet. Just hanging there on a hanger waiting for me. Oh well. I'm glad I had the Red Shirt for the big day.

With all of the planning etc. it is amazing to me how many things we didn't get to. Yes, some was due to the campfire ban, but others just ran out of vacation time. Did you know we packed the pop corn popper? Yes we did, but we didn't get to it.

It was a great time.

Camping Meal Plan

I am pretty sure this is close to being the real deal. If we have anything incorrect Please let us know. I trust that if you need provisions for any of your meals that we can get, you've forwarded your needs to Mom so we can include it in our packing Wednesday.
