520eek: "MnLindsey....how successful were you in the quest for the mystery of the red wool blanket?" I asked. Nobody recalled. Have you checked out the Pendleton Blankets though? That could have been it? Regardless, they look pretty nice. |

WHEN: September 21, 22, 23 WHERE: Marshview Group Camp at Baker Park, Maple Plain, MN IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU ARE INVITED! *It is a 2 day camp out at a private site, close to Lake Independence, Maple Plain Minnesota. You will not be charged for joining us at the group camp, but we will gladly accept what you can donate to help cover the cost of the site. *You may arrive anytime on September 21. Plan to camp Friday and Saturday with departure on Sunday. You don’t have to camp. In the past many people have come for a day or even a few hours. Whatever time fits your schedule you are welcome! DIRECTIONS: Marshview Group Camp/ Google map *Potluck will be on Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm. – Please bring a dish to share! The variety of food is unbelievable! Many people cook on site. There are no grills. There is a fire ring with grate. Bring what you need to prepare your food. WHAT'S AT CAMP: *Barn shelter with electricity. (Electricity is not for camper hookup.) *A water pump is located on site. There is a latrine building without running water. *Picnic tables, yes. BYO chairs. *There are showers down the road at Baker Park. They should be open weather permitting. *LOTS OF BWCA.COM FRIENDS TO SHARE STORIES WITH!!! PADDLING: Feel free to bring your canoes or kayaks and your fishing gear. No lake to put in at the site but you can go to Lake Independence to paddle. HOUSEKEEPING REMINDERS- *Please Leave no Trace! *You are responsible for yourself, your family, pets and your guests when it comes to keeping a clean camp. This includes the latrine building and things left (tossed) in the woods. *Recycling bins are available for all recyclables. *Garbage cans are on site so you don't need to pack-it-out. ANOTHER NOTE- If you are someone who wants to go to bed early or sleep in late, it is recommended you camp away from the fire pit. Socializing tends to go on around the fire pit both late into the night and early in the morning. RSVP ON THIS THREAD PLEASE How many? Camping or not? What will you bring for potluck? We would like an idea on the number of people planning to attending. Feel free to ask any questions if something was missed! |

Zwater: "Is bringing my 5 year old too young? Just wondering." I use to bring my kids when they were babies. So any age is fine. Mine are older now so spend a lot of time in the woods building forts. 2 years ago there were coyotes nearby that sent all the kids running back to the campfire. 3 years ago it was hot and all they kids played in the water pump and they all went home soaking wet lol. When Kanoes was there he always would make sure the kids would come home with a prize at the drawing. |

Steve " hey Steve, bring some chairs for sitting around the fire. Pretty private group area so kids can play without watching like a hawk. Some folks have been known to bring a special beverage or two. It's fun but not crazy. I bring my maps so when folks talk about their trips I can follow along. Hoping to have 10 yr old grand daughter along. Kids make friends so easy. See ya there." Thank you |

Zwater: "Is bringing my 5 year old too young? Just wondering." no... I don't think so. Especially with how many other kids will be there this year. I think mine were 5 and 7 the first time I brought them. |

mr.barley: "I won't be able to make it this year. I have company rolling in from NC that weekend. Damn." I have been a member for years, but haven't contributed much. Mr. Barley and I talked one night on chat about crappies on Iron. I was looking forward to meeting you, and Mooseplums. I might be there Saturday with my 5 year old daughter. Don't know yet. A lot of other people I would like to meet in person! Great community! |

Thinking about camping this time. (Hanging) Otherwise will bring MiniMN with as per-usual on Saturday for the Potluck... or maybe camp Friday, run home on Saturday and get her, and come back so she can play with Canoearoo's kids (not that they never see each other), and the Ducklings? Stay tuned for my final response. |

I am assuming it is ok to bring our own grills? I have grills, smokers, and a griddle that I could easily bring. If so, I would probably smoke something for the potluck (ribs, chicken, pulled pork, brisket...), and the griddle could be used for making breakfast(or anything else) for the group, its pretty big. I know dogs are allowed, but are they welcome? Not sure I would go if i couldn't bring The Grizz. |

We always have a blast. It's so much fun to see the usual cast of characters and fun to put some new faces w/ the screen names. If you have never gone to one because you are unsure what to expect.... "just do it". You won't regret it! |

Don't have to help our friends with freezer camp after all - so MiniMN and I are back in for the potluck! Mr.MN will be bow hunting. I won't be camping Fri-Sat as I have a huge bushel of tomatoes I'll be canning Friday night but we will be there Saturday, and plan to bring cold (ring pasta) tuna salad. I know some of you (Ducks) were intrigued... so I will bring my CCS rucksack that Dan customized for me for my SHT hiking adventures. It's basically a Rucksack and Wanderer mashed up into one. |
