Some others are busy and or don’t post, but they will come too, Old Pro and Noob alike.
The truth is, many hammock campers keep a close eye on the weather report. With mild temperatures and no rain—more will come.
And with colder temperatures and rain—less will come.
Past numbers have ranged from 19 (it was both cold and rainy) and up to 70 hammock campers.
This weekend very mild temperatures are forecast, neither hot or cold—day or night.
Thursday and Friday have a 50% chance of rain.
Don’t have Saturday and Sunday yet.
Edit Friday shows no rain, now, subject to change
Next week around Monday, we will have a good idea of forecast for Troy NC and or El Dorado NC
If rain is forecast for Saturday and Sunday too, then there will be a rash of excuses for bailing out and no-showing.
Pick from the list or add your own favorite excuses.
I had to take my ferret to the vet
I have to check on my mother-in-law’s cats
I’ll miss Gilligan’s Island movie
Private medical procedures
Just remembered, have a conflicting calendar date
About food.
Bring or cook something that you enjoy eating.
Avoid anything that might cause food poisoning
No need to have any dish for forty people, maybe something that about 5 or 6 people would eat.
And if you are not into cooking—don’t!
At this point, there will be duplication and blank spots, Phantom’s fault! We will probably have excess food. And if not, there is always El Dorado camp store. Their fried chicken is boss. Also there are local pizza places in Troy that are ok. They probably will need us to pick up, rather than deliver.
Phantom predicts 48.5 hammock and tent campers, exactly!
