should be a good time!

Thanks for fixing the thread.

I may drive up seperately as I'm not sure I can get the extra days off.

I think I have everything on the list, but a tarp. I have to get over to my parents house to get my camping gear. So far I am going up on my own. I plan on leaving thursday after work and staying with friends in Kilaloe that night, as well as Sunday after packing up. I can't wait to go camping. I have started counting down the days, especially when I've had a bad day at work.

I have my site til Monday, so I'm driving up on Friday (the earlier, the better), and then coming back Monday afternoon.

I plan on enjoying a full Sunday watching everyone else pack up and leave :) ..

if I'm not working Monday, I might throw the tent onto your site steve and chill for the extra day if that's cool with you

Why I don't go camping

Chances are I'll be getting the Monday off too.

just have to see how many people are going to stay... but if there's room (up to 6 people), it's all good.

we'll be fine.

Although I have a wagon, I'll be maxed out on room, once the bikes are inside, the car becomes a 2seater.

I've got Friday - Monday off. Will likely be there for the entire time.

sweet. extended camping is the only way to go.

I'm hoping to have room for my bike as well..

Can I ride in the basket?

Can we stop for Webberz burgers?

I have a real childhood memory of that place, and make a point of stopping there whenver I go by.

Let me know.

What type of food should I bring? I am a little nervous about bringing foods that could spoil, even though I have a cooler that I plan on packing full of ice.
Thanks guys,
Natasha

don't sweat it too much... bring things that can be cooked easily over fire or in a single frying pan (my rule of thumb for camping).

Eggs, steaks, milk, burgers, etc will all survive 2 days in a cooler, as will beer...

Don't make a rookie mistake like someone else I knew who decided breaded chicken fingers are good camping food.. they're not.

I'll be packing hotdogs, burgers, eggs, and a couple cans of ravioli.

the good thing about car camping with a bunch of friends is that you couldn't possibly screw up so bad as to ruin the trip.

No such thing as practically married. Either your man enough to pop the question or your just a fuktard.
