Carolina Meet 17-19 April

Alright gents, so we are a week out! Where are we meeting in Fayetteville for the convoy out?

 

I vote for here 35.147565, -79.059334 or 35.227164,-79.078195

 

speaking of coordinates does anyone have them for the camp site?

 

The El Dorado Outpost link-up worked well last time if we wanna exchange cell phone numbers and driving people in. I think even with good directions I woulda got lost last time.

 

hell...first meet we had, came right up on the eldorado outpost, it was there on our way in......going to the campsite......drove right past the road for it 2 friggin times.....barely could see the sign the second time.

 

And nothing starts off an off-roading wheeling like pulling up to the outpost first thing in the morning and seeing a bunch of dirty Yotas lined up and a bunch of stinky hairy guys inside getting morning coffee.

 

haha....true!!!

man, they got some damn good fried chicken at the outpost for lunch too!!!

 

hell yes!!!!! so.....what are we eating on friday evening??

 

.......next friday needs to hurry the hell up!!!

 

damn!!! man, we are slow at work again.........and talk of layoffs again, and me thinks they are serious this time. hopefully, since i have been there almost eleven years(june first), i'll be safe. never can tell with them tho.

 

I'm tryin to figure out my food situation. If I wanna do Coleman or Jetboil or PB&J or breaksticks or just Donner party it.

I have a skillet/grill top for a 2 burner Coleman. Jamie you bringing your Coleman again? Can anyone bring a French press or significant size coffee pot to plug into my bed? Do we want to do campsite breakfast or is everyone deadset on Outpost b-fast sammiches? We did communal food last time so as long as it stays in our group we can split it up and we'll be alright. 2 dozen eggs, a couple pounds of bacon, some bread/biscuits, some cheese and we'll be straight. That'd work for Sat morning.

Friday night we could do hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausage again? Easy enough camp food. Figure Sat lunch will be on the trail. Sat night/Sun mornin we prolly don't wanna pack cause then we gotta worry about crap spoiling or someone hauling a loaded cooler.

 

last meet i was at, we ate breakfast at camp..................grits,eggs,bacon,deer sausage.....good eating man. i plan on doing the same again. we basically did breakfast for everyone....which was only about 6 of us. a few of us may need to do breakfast this time!

 

I have tried a coffee maker in the bed plug, its not enough power at least for my coffee maker (cheapo one). Best thing for coffee is these little coffee packets that are like tea packets that just go in boiling water.

 

Boo instant coffee. I wish a had a French press for my jetboil. Then we'd be g2g. I can do 30 second hot chocolate though. Nothing like sitting on the tailgate over a valley at 12,000ft when a cold breeze hits and 60 seconds later you got a sweatshirt and a cup of hot cocoa. Don't suppose anyone knows if Gander Mtn sells Jetboil crap? Usually its the smaller camping stores.

 

true I hate instant coffee too but this isnt as bad its like half real/half instant.......hmmm that makes no since, but its not bad ill bring some

French press is the thing that squishes the coffee grinds out of the coffee so you take water, add coffee grinds, boil, when its done you press it down and it pushes all the grinds to the bottom and you pour off the coffee. Old school. At least that's what I put together from that part in blackhawk down. I've seen'em but never actually had to use'em it.

 

Its going to be nasty and muddy bye next weekend looking at a lot of rain coming. weather should be good for the weekend though have fun guys and gals

 

ah......ok, i'll go look and see if they have one. otherwise......you could use a piece of flat iron or something.
