Unfortunately I can't go - I actually have a coaching conference that weekend. But I do have a question - how the hell did the signup list fill to 23 before anyone even replied here? Am I missing something?

[Disco96JSWB]

Please add Jake and Jeremy.

[Disco96JSWB]

Please don't add Frank B. too

[Tom109]

I'd love to go, but I'm already camping that weekend!

Someone place an order for tons of snow please!

You would not believe how many people text, email and FB message me saying they want to go before the dates are ever posted. The all say, "I don't care what the dates are, I'm in."

I think people do the same to Evan because he gave me several names when he gave me the dates. If we weren't limited by beds I think this would be one of our biggest events.

[LC Rover]

If there is cancellation ...add me to the list

[galen211]

There was a cancellation, you're in!

[billcooper]

Thats what I get for not checking the forum more often. Maybe we can at least come out for Friday dinner.

[galen211]

There is one space available at the moment and I am sure someone else will cancel. Want to be the first on the wait list?

[ollietruck]

Ollie and I will take the spot if it is still open. We will share a bunk.

[kun109]

If this is strictly based on bunk space, I plan on bringing a cot. Maybe that'll open something up?

[billcooper]

I'll let you know in a day or so, and if someone else chips in beforehand, no worries. At the very least, I will come out for Friday dinner.

[galen211]

Didn't realize Charlotte has an event at school that Friday night, so I will probably need to come out Saturday morning.

[DiscoSux]

Trevor is on the list twice. I can barely stand one "Trevor"... :p

[DiscoSux]

Please don't add Frank B. too

?? Frank is an SCC fixture!

[galen211]

I've seen you drive. You need two Trevor's.

Just what we need....

Bummer... I'll be just south of 80 at our family's place that weekend (doing family stuff...), If i can get away for a day, would a day trip on saturday be ok? i could bring my tent too and setup outside "IF" i spend the night.

A day trip would be fine. I have to meet at 9 a.m. Saturday morning so you could do that too. If you want to bring a tent and sleep in the cold, well that's up to you. :eek:

[Disco96JSWB]

Unfortunately, Jake and I are opening up our spots to anyone who wants them. The way things are going, our trucks aren't going to be ready in time and Friday afternoon is an issue this year with schedules.

You've got 3 weeks! My truck is at Randy's with half the interior ripped so the floors can be patched. Then I have to change out the tail of the transfer case and put it all back together! Come on, J & J!

[pushngo]

I am pretty sure I'll be there now we can camp if need be

I have 2 sets of chains for sale too they are 7' long and 15" wide I think I last used them with 305 70 16s but were originally for a 265 maybe they are the V bar design from Tirechains.com 2 sets $60 ea #283055

[80-One]

Any floor space left? I have a chap asking.

We aren't full yet. Would he prefer to sleep on the floor?

[galen211]

Started a food list on the first page of the thread, but since most people don't come to the forum we'll see how that goes....

[ollietruck]

I'll bring 5 dozen eggs. Also some cookies or brownies.

[dbeard]

Kelley won't be able to make it, so I'll be flying solo.

Randy, I could be interested. Would they fit my setup?

[LC Rover]

I have to back out ...have to travel on that Sunday to be in Quebec first thing Monday morning for work

Sorry to hear that Larry. I know we've talked about a State Forest trip a couple of times, we need to try and do that in the spring.

[LC Rover]

Sounds like a plan

[bbettridge]

Plan to bring:

Breakfast:
4 dozen eggs
4 lbs bacon
Pancake makings
Butter

Dinner:
2+ entrees

[BJoslin]

I will be up Friday night rolling in with English. Will have my D2 this year unless the head gaskets go again unexpectedly.

I'll bring a spiral ham and a hash brown casserole, as well as some different juices for breakfast.

Looking forward to it once again.

Bryan

[80-One]

Hey
Are we still planning on meeting at the normal restaurant in Melograno's Pine Hollow, in Canadensis, Friday evening?

I'll be armed with enough Starbucks pastries for everyone and Starbucks coffee.

Yes, Pine Hollow Inn as usual.

[galen211]

Anybody have any thoughts about a coordinated dinner on Saturday evening?

[DiscoSux]

I'll bring an entree, snacks and drinks.

[ollietruck]

I vote we eat it.

[kun109]

I was just gonna bring a bunch of store bought dessert junk and a couple cases of water. If something else is needed, let me know.

[galen211]

I will go to Giant later this week. They almost always have buy one, get one free stromboli's. Then we have something easy for dinner.

I don't think I've mentioned this, but I can't come Friday night. Charlotte has a school thing, so I will have to meet Saturday morning.

Can someone please do the favor of holding a bed or two in one of the side rooms? Charlotte is coming with me and I need to have a place for her to sleep away from the main room, preferably one where I can be in the next bunk.

[ollietruck]

I'll snag two beds for you Galen.

[pushngo]

Evan had mentioned we will meet at a different restaurant Friday due to the exceptionally low food quality the last few times. POUR or the like I believe.

Let me know on the food a coordinated dinner sounds good I will be rolling with Kevin and Rob we can bring food or cash for a shopper which ever works I can bring the grill and do steaks or Ribs just let me know

[galen211]

The Pour House can't accommodate this size group. The Pine Hollow it is.

Randy's ribs are always welcome. :)

Also, this is the first time I'm hearing that Kevin is coming. Will he have his kids?

[kun109]

Trying to get the truck setup to tow the series by the weekend. If it works out, are people still parking the tow rigs at the church, and has there ever been any issues with vandalism?

[galen211]

If there is no snow I would suggest towing it all the way back in.

There has never been an issue with vandalism, but Evan has asked us in the past not to park at the church since they have services on Sunday. Last year I left my car at the Pine Hollow (after asking) and it was fine.

[kun109]

Thanks..

[ini88]

I haven't been on a ROVERS trip in a really long time. Should be fun!

Can I ask how well the cellphone reception out there? Which is better AT&T or Verizon? I might have to do some work while I am out there :)

[dbeard]

Hey Gang, super excited to be able to make it this year. This will be my first trip to SCC. Can anybody give me the run down on how meals typicaly work for the weekend, so I can bring my fair share of grub? What cooking devices does the cabin have, if any? Planning on meeting up Friday with the initial group.

Dan,

I can't speak for AT&T but Verizon has improved greatly over the years. It is possible to have a phone conversation in the "parking" lot around the cabin and texts messages will go through.

The cabin has a large kitchen with a commercial stove and everything you need to make just about any meal. If you look at the food list there are a lot of eggs being brought. Typically someone ends up making a breakfast out of all the stuff people bring for everyone. Lunch is on you on the trail. We used to have a more coordinated dinner, but it seems this year it will be bring whatever you want and we'll make a community potluck out of it.

[dbeard]

So I assume there is electric in this cabin, or are we relying on Randy's generator? :) Is there by chance a slow cooker there? I was thinking about possibly doing pulled pork.

[galen211]

They have a generator and I think it runs most of the day.

[dbeard]

They have a generator and I think it runs most of the day.

Is there a refrigerator, or are we working out of coolers?

Let me know if the electricity during the day is a definite, and I'll plan on making pulled pork. I can bring a slow cooker if there isn't one in the kitchen.

[galen211]

Coolers. There is a propane fridge but they never really turn it on.

Bring your crock pot. Sent a message to Evan asking him if they keep it on.

Just wrap the pork up in foil and put it on your intake manifold. It will be nice and warm by the end of the day. :p

UPDATE: Evan says we can leave it on.

[pushngo]

Ok I'll bring some ribs and my grill and Pine Hollow it is

Did I miss what time we are meeting on Friday?

Most people roll into the restaurant between 5-7.

Unless you are Canadian. Then you roll in around 9.

This is true. If not for Roverbones I would be driving a jeep. Like everyone else.

[scatterling]

Awesome weekend up at the cabin. Thanks so much to Evan for allowing the hooligans to run wild on the property and thanks to everyone for the moral support and words of encouragement. I really needed this weekend. 

[80-One]

Evan thanks for sharing your slice of heaven! Mind you I didn't know heaven can be that noisy at night! :)

It was amazing how everything turned white as soon as we rose out of Canadensis......just enough white stuff to make the traction control kick in!

Safe travels.
