BIG DOGS ICE BREAKER EVENT

Well im gonna end up calling a couple of you guys then to figure all the plans out since i haven't been keeping up on here. I hurt my back really bad and I'm still to the point of being unsure if I can even make it. I think i may end up running easy trails and just enjoy seeing everybody and camping and having a good time. I'm cursed for big dogs...last event was the sprained/broken ankle 3 days before and now it's whatever the hell is up with my back - hopefully the chiro will straighten me out tomorrow!!

Sorry to hear about your back Nick. See if you can get a home TENS unit, it may help after the trail ride.
For breakfast Sunday morning I will be preparing breakfast burritos. I can fry up sausage, scrambled eggs, use some onions and peppers left over from dinner. Also will have available salsa, grated cheese and sour cream. Any objections? Any other recommendations?

A what?!

I'll pitch in to help with breakfast too bill. i'm gonna get the griddle for my grill and do some pancakes!!! They make those ready mix containers you just add water to so it won't be hard.

Hey bill that sounds real good. Also I wasn't planning on using peppers for the steaks but I could pick some up if needed. From dinner I should have potatoes, onions, and mushrooms left over.

also nick you better make it, I don't care if you show up in a wheelchair as long as your down for some beer drinking.

Hey Nick - Bill is bringing his welder incase your back goes out and need to get it fused togeather!

I'm relatively new to the camping thing - how do you keep food cold from Friday until Sunday? Do you just keep buying ice for the coolers? I'm worried about having warm beer for Saturday night!! I can't remember if they have Ice at the house where you check in. Isn't the closest store pretty far away?

I can bring cookout stuff for Friday night (burgers/brats etc) to cookout when we get to camp. I wont know until tomorrow if I get out of work at 3 pm or 5:30. Can't wait to escape the cube!

Im not new to the camping and beer thing!

Beer - separate cooler than food so it doesnt get un-neccasarily exposed to air. ice - will last usually a day maybe two. But walmart by Arundel Mills had dry ice! I like to have a cooler that will hold about 12 packed with ice then a case on the side - as I take one out i put one in. I also will keep the cold water in rather than drain since to quickly cool champagne they use ice and water. That way I dont have to keep 2 days worth of beer cold just the start of the day cold.

I have a half barrel sized plastic containter that I will be filling with ice in addition to the cooler. Something to throw beer in for the evening without having to open and close the cooler a lot. THere will be room for whatever anyone wants to put in there. I recommend buying ice before you get there as it will be in high demand. Joe, Peppers arent necessary. Potatoes that are left over can be fried up into tater cakes.

I picked up some sausage for breakfast.
I am new to the whole camping thing too, but I figured I would try to help some how.
Let me know if there is anything else needed!

I got a bunch of firewood for the pile, loads of paper/plastic ware, napkins, some cheese and meat to snak on, chainsaw and some other crap. I'm leaving work early enough to be there around 3:30 so I'll see ya when you get there. If anything else is needed let me know.

Cool. We will all be gathering at camp 6. I'm leaving around 6 and will be there about 7:30 or earlier

Hey Joe,

I'm meeting Greg at the apartment in Cockeysville at 5pm today. I'll give you a call to see if you are on the road yet by then.

what a blast...man I'm tired.

you are still tired from ice breaker.
