Bob, with all the rain we have had the past few days, do you know if the Kishwaukee has any flooding going on?

That would be great!
If jcavenagh makes his ribs again, and Bonvicken whips up his Venison stew,we will be eating good!
Anyone else bring Dutch ovens?"
I'll make the Venison Stew if someone brings some VERY locally harvested venison!

Shocker of my life yesterday when the teenager asked if we were going group camping with y'all anytime this year and she was bummed that we were not, since we have a conflict.
!!!!!
She said, "I'd love to go as long as I don't have to go canoeing."
(ok, so we're not all the way there...but part of the way there!)
I'm bummed that we won't be there. AndySG, if you are reading this, I think you should plan a fall event in your neck of the woods. :)

The river level is great. No flooding from what I can tell driving over the bridges. All looks good for a Saturday paddle!

Change of plans on the 10x20 canopys. I looked today inside the shed at the club and they are buried. So, I have two 10x10 easy ups. The weather will be good, so we will be ok!

Hoping to make it to my first Wingnight with this one. Will have to wait till it's a little closer to commit to coming and check with the wife to see if she is coming along. Hope to finally put a face with the names and to see if anyone needs a single for any trips since my wife is out of commission for taking any to the BWCA this year due to shoulder surgery.

Ok - I think I'm in for this. I am going to assume if I bring marinated meat I will find a place to burn it to perfection on a grill in camp. I think I have a pretty cool salad type thing to bring also. If I'm in I'm coming Friday I think. Let there be rock.
I hate cold weather. Bringing extra binkies. I have a solo and a tandem. I can bring my Spirit if someone needs a boat.

For those that are bringing canoes, you will need a 2014 Illinois sticker to be legal to paddle. You can get these at any place that sells fishing license, ex: Gander mountain, Walmart, etc. Cost is $6.50 for the sticker.
I was out there today hooking up the well pump, went looking for Morels in the woods and had a couple deer ticks crawling on me. You might want to bring something for ticks, or at least check yourself over for them.
The river level is great, we shouldn't have to worry about low water when we paddle Saturday.
I will be out there early Friday, see you then!

Hey Bobbwca! I have a suggestion. Any way we could get some metal posts set up on either side of the concrete pad? If so, we could hang a few tarps over the area in case of rain. I have two tarps I could bring and I'm willing to pitch in on the cost.

It is basically a family friendly camping weekend. Many of us will have adult beverages at night, but no one gets out of line. There is much discussion of the same stuff we talk about on the site, only face to face. Bring maps if you want to talk tripping options. There is usually a Saturday paddle on the Kishwaukee River that borders the camping area, so bring your canoe. There are two permanent pit toilets on site. There is well water, but it has not been tested for consumption so we don't drink it. I suppose it could be filtered, but most bring bottled water. Also, pets are welcome and there are wooded areas to walk and enjoy the flora. Bring all the car camping stuff including the bag chairs. Plenty of picnic tables available for cooking and dining. Firewood is provided by our host, Bobbwca.

Lot of rain and hail to start the day, then it cleared up and rained and hailed some more. Bonvicken went fishing! By 11 am it was all clear. Unfortunately a well intention-ed club member, decided it would be a good idea to drop off two dump truck loads of wood in the middle of our camp area. So 10 hours later we have that cleaned up. For the most part anyways, ill have it all cleaned up by the camp out. We do have a lot of fire wood tho. Many, many.many cords of wood.
Thanks to Bonvicken, Dave, Tim, Jim,Lee and everyone else that helped! We're all set! 5 trailers of wood cut and split was a lot.

I'm now out of this weekend.
My sister was diagnosed with cancer and her daughter has put together a fund raiser on May 4 at 8am. Naturally, that takes precedence and I gotta support my Sis.
Enjoy the party everyone!

Thanks, guys. She caught it pretty early and the prognosis is good. It's just that the chemo is a bear!

Prayers sent for your sister Jim. Is there some way we can donate to the fund raiser?

Probably 11 am. That will give it time to warm up a bit in the morning, and everyone time to eat breakfast etc."
Thanks. Count me in.

I have an extra tent and exped mat if you need them.

I think I have everything I need. I just bought some stuff to sleep a little warmer, that's all I was worried about. If I can get a couple of things to go right maybe I can be there tomorrow about 8 PM.

I just spent $36.41 at Butera on stuff to make 24 hot, sweet and sticky wings and 20 Jamaican jerk chicken drumsticks. There's no turning back now! I'll bring my tandem Spirit II along with my Prism if maxxbhp or someone else needs a seat in a boat. Cya tomorrow.

Great news Bill! Either post what you need here or send me a e-mail. Tent, bag, pad, mess kit, tarp, or whatever. No problem bringing extra gear.

Chips, desert, potato salad, something like that. I think we'll have many main dishes.

My retirement job started today, so this weekend I will be on a mower most of the time. Was very much looking forward to attending this year. Have fun everyone.

I can only come this afternoon for a short while, but will be bringing cookies. Not sure if they will last until the potluck tomorrow. It will be up to you guys to show some restraint today. JK.
