It's Now Only ONE Days Away! April 27th through April 29th. Just wondering who is all coming and what are you bringing for the potluck? The last few camping wingnights we have had, showed that we have some great cooks on this board. Alot of good food with lots of variety.
If you find that you do not have the time or are not able to bring a potluck dish, no worries! There is always plenty of food for all.
We are planning on starting the potluck on Saturday the 28th around 4:00. That should hopefully give those of you who want to paddle the adjacent lakes some time to do that. We will then follow with a raffle. Some of the Great Outfitters from this Board have generously donated some fantastic items, as well as some of our members too. After the raffle we will take our group picture.
Plates, silverware and napkins will all be provided. Just a note that there is no electricity at the group camp so you can plan accordingly.
Also, a reminder that there is a water pump at the facilities, but it is solar-powered. Therefore, it may not work in the evening or morning hours. It would be a good idea to bring along some water jugs for yourself to make sure you have water if needed.
Again, if you are reading this you are invited. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as some new faces!

I will be there all three days. Like the past Wingnights I may need to come and go depending on the B's schedule. Hopefully the B's will be able to camp Fri. and Sat. with me!
I will bring:
*The firewood, so the campfire cooks have their fuel. *Moose Plums of course! *Still thinking on a main dish idea. Hmm?
I am making a wonderful broccoli and cauliflour salad with sunflower seeds, carrots and bacon in it, smothered in Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing....Mmmmmmmmm
Oh and for snacks ....let's try cheese in a can and donkey dick on a Keebler Kracker.

I am going to try to make it on Saturday with one or two of my daughters. We'll be checking out the MM Expo first as a some friends are presenting on Saturday morning. For food I'll probably bring some baby back ribs and/or wings.

I definitely will be there. Dory should be there unless our imminently due second grandson fails to make his appearance before then, in which case she'll have to remain home for that pending event. Don't know yet what we'll be bringing for the potluck; figure that out next week. AND... I'll be picking up my new (used) ride in St. Paul that Friday morning, a MNII. Can you say excited boys and girls? Can't wait to see you all again, and the new faces too. Only two more weeks....
I will be there Saturday, not sure if we will spend the night or not. Not sure what i'll bring to the potluck either! I'll think of something between now and then.

I am thinking of coming. I have been holding out trying to convince my husband to come, but it may only be me again.
So now that I've decided to be there, I WILL be cooking something in a Dutch Oven. Probably CHUCK WAGON DINNER!
See you there!

Might make it for late night campfire storys on Friday or Saturday but no camping for me and the kiddies this spring; to be honest, the event lacks luster with no hug from Jan;)

No camping Matt???? That is 1/2 the fun! So your kids will not be attending or just not camping?
The kids need to add on to the forts they were building in the woods last fall. Very Impressive Forts too!

OK - here's what I think I'll bring : - smoked brown trout - Grilled cheese for the little kiddies ( and big kiddies ) - some pickles - homemade onion rings ( from a recipe book that mocha sent me ) - some cookies - and a couple of kites for the kids , mainly because people tell me - " Izzy , go fly a kite "

Ok for the steak people , here's the recipe from Bogwalker ;
Rub steak with virgin olive oil , season both sides with salt , pepper and garlic salt , sprinkle on worchester sauce, top with fresh thyme and refigerate. Turn every few hours. I'll start to marinate them tomorrow night. I plan to cook them over the campfire in a wire basket that's made for fish. Serve on a hardroll. Onions for anyone with this ? I'll bring 15 -20 steakes. These steaks were cut from the backstrap.
I'll be riding out again on Saturday afternoon, prolly not in time for the potluck though. But it would be tough to carry anything on the bike worth sharing anyway. I'll plan on being self sufficient;) But look forward to seeing the gang! Bummed that my brother jan wont be there:( -cubby

S and Me. I thought I posted my intention on one of these threads. Shannon is worried about the weather. May not be able to get her to stay both nights. Anyone bringing a beautiful cheese tray? She is good at that. Will keep thinking on that.
