Periwinkle - challenging this bunch (just off the trail with beers in hand) to use the outdoor shower might be a frightening proposition!

But it definitely would have a lot of entertainment value !!!

I give my vote for Brador, Or Molson XXX.

On a different note. How far would Woodstock be from the campsite. I think I found the perfect little Friday dinner spot. It's called Landau Grill. They have a nice deck for a larger group. The deck is covered just in case of foul weather. We ate there on sunday and it was quite good. The prices weren't unreasonable either. Just a thought.

Woodstock would be about 30-40 minutes from Woodland valley. Although the Landau may fit the bill, I think there will be something closer. I know TeeJay has done some scouting in Phoenicia. Maybe I can get down 28 a little farther west. I think there is a nice place that fits the bill about 10 minutes west, but the name escapes me. I think it's called Jakes or something like that.
Also there is a restaurant called Al's that might just do the trick, right on 28 near where woodland valley road come out.
I don't think the food matters much, its the company, isn't it?

Gathering 7.0

I'm planning to come.

 

[Warren]

Ah, but Landau is the place with the smoked trout cakes.

Worth the miles to Woodstock. I think it's about a 20 minute juant from the campsite.
It may be best that Friday night dinner should be at a good place that takes reservations for a group our size. Woodstock can be crowded on a Friday night.

I give my vote for Brador,

I agree with peak_bgr !!

 

[prino]

More Beer!!

Hey Harry..... I don't think I'll manage your Gold Member status.....66 beers Whew!. The customs guy must have been in a good mood.
I'll bring down a few Canadian cold ones though.

 

[peak_bgr]

Anyplace to eat will be fine. It is definatly the company and the conversation that makes the night.

 

[Guinness]

I'll be there and will try to get there on Thursday and stay through the weekend.

AlG and Bubba,

I'll have extra space. I just bought a 6 person 3+ season tent. More than enough room!

 

[daxs]

I have to put my vote in for Labatts Blue. I became very fond of this beer when I was living up along the Canadian border years ago. The smoked trout cakes sound good too. I can't wait.

 

[Seeker]

I'm there!!

TeeJay--how great to have a Gathering in the Catskills! Thanks for all your work on this. Chili anyone?

Dave, thanks for the heads up--I am there. And Bubba's coming too!!

Seeker aka Brenda

Oh no!

I'm really bummed out...I've got something else booked that weekend. Teejay...sounds like you've got a good time planned. SOMEDAY I'll make it down to the Catskills. Have fun!

 

[Tuco]

I am putting this on the calendar- would like try a first event. But having an eerie feeling I am forgeting other plans.

 

[Periwinkle]

Well, it looks like I'll have take the Rollin' Rack (a.k.a, Doghouse, Mini-Rig, Trailer Trash Heaven, Icebox) out to the Catskills, even if I end up towing it myself. And THAT would be interesting. Anyone seen the promos of Paris Hilton towing an Airstream? That's basically me at the wheel. I'm sure I can find some nice burly fella to back it into the campsite for me.

And Harry just uped the ante. I'll have to bring 67 beers. Maybe then I can get the promise avatar of my head cropped onto Beyonce's body.

Peri,

I thought it was Britney's body . . .

It might have been the Dr. Magils, but I forgot all about that. Send me a picture of your head...

You're right, Seema! It was Britney! And I didn't even have too much to drink that night.

Hhmmm, now I'll have to look for a head shot from when I had blonde hair, Darren. Maybe that will make it ever so slightly believable. Right....

 

[audrey]

Teejay,

Count me and Pat in. Sheesh, I come back from vacation and you've organized a bloomin' convention! It will be great to see familiar faces again, and lots of new ones too.

 

[askus3]

Made my western trip plans definite for 8/19 thru 9/5 and my Maine AT trip is scheduled for 9/26 thru 10/3. That leaves me open for the weekend to attend THE GATHERING. So count me in! I really hope nothing gets in the way of my plan to attend this event. It will be nice to see Periwinkle up on her turf a month sooner when I finish my White Mt. peaks and then she is coming down to my neck of the woods.

Me neither! And, I think from everything I've read I better show up with the portable shower just for entertainment value.

Oh, and just out of curiosity, am I going to be tortured in your "neck of the woods" if I don't make a pizza delivery in August?
