    So reading through the thread Saturday breakfast is covered. Lunch is on our own. Supper is a group meal sometime. (whenever the cooks get it ready) I am driving up after coaching and refereeing a game. I hope to be packed so I can jump in the van and drive. Any thing I should bring for the meal Saturday night?

    Any food/ coffee provided Sunday morning or most people heading out?

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    It also looks like there will be a few dogs there, mine included. The park requires all dogs be leashed at all times. Lets make sure we stick to this rule to keep everyone happy. And please rub my dogs ears, that is if you don't mind getting drooled on.
    Good points!
    And please, lets have a way to pick up after our dogs if they happen to potty in camp.

I'll also have a very large (~32 oz) coffeepot and a single-burner stove with me, if any of the early-birds wants to use that in the mornings...
    What ever you can bring will be good!
    Several mentioned coffee.
    I know Hickery has been a supplier of coffee each morn at this hang.
    It would be great if another person or two can help provide.
    Coffee good!
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    Sounds about like the way I do it.

    Yes, all meals are on your own except for the group meals Sat morn and Sat eve.
    Most from our group eat from the food sold at the festival Sat afternoon, unless they are out hiking.
    Provide for other meals but don't be surprised if others bring extra stuff to share at other times.

    Sunday morn, some leave, some eat in camp and some go to the Log Cabin Restaurant ( about a 15 minute drive from camp).
    From there, some leave for home or go back to camp for a while.
    A few of us will be staying Sunday night and leaving on Monday.

    Reminders...

    At the gate, tell them you are with the Hammock Group staying in the group site.
    You should not be charged an entrance fee.

    Don't forget your rain gear and camp chairs.

    I'm pretty sure they sell ice at the camp store.
    I called the store # but no one answered (9:12am). May not be open yet.
