Im thinking i will bring a vegetarian chili, and fried potatoes / hash browns for Saturday morning.

Niagara, sounding a little like you're trying to bribe everyone into coming! Maybe time to update you screen name to Chef Niagara?

What a menu! Whoo Buddy!
I'll bring an appetite, some firewood, my fire irons and some more appetite.

Ok , a dessert is in order. I'll come up with something different.

I'm swapping out the baked beans for a pot of tuscan white bean soup. It shouldn't be too hard to find another use for the bacon.

I'll bring the napkins! I'm going to try for Friday night.

This'll be my first time at Valens, not sure where to book ... what area do you folks usually hang & is there anything a first timer needs to know? Is firewood available there or is it ridiculously expensive &/or crappy like at the Algonquin car-campgrounds?

Hoping my bride will give me a pass for both nights, thinking of changing up my offering to pulled pork sandwiches, just 'cause it's easier to make a lot in one pot.

Where to begin.....

What area do you folks usually hang?
Site 134 has been the traditional EGL site. 133 can take quite a few folks, 135 not so much....
