The SDMB Camping Trip

Beeeeeep.

Beeeeeep.

Beeeeeep.

There. I’ve successfully parked my RV here at Camp Cecil. What a lovely place this is! Full hook-ups for RVs, a nice field for pitching tents, and there’s even some cabins back among the pines. There’s Lake TubaDiva over there, and I’m planning to take a midnight swim. Alligators know to stay away from Lake TubaDiva!

I’ve brought hamburgers for grilling and marshmallows for toasting. Fortunately, since this is Camp Cecil, the bugs know to stay away, so we won’t need the DEET. I think I will light the citronella candles, thought, just because we need candles.

My RV sleeps six, so any Doper that wants to can crash. I have the firepit all set up and ready to go to light later this evening.

Camping, anyone?

Unh…Unh…

Lugging this case of wine is difficult for someone so petite like myself :smiley:

walking back to my suv

Unh…Unh…

looking around annoyed that everyone’s just watching me and not helping

Here’s the case of various, um, spirits…

walking back to my suv

Carrying a box of assorted equipment, blender, ice bucket, shot glasses, etc.

Okay!

We’re all set!

'ritas anyone?

Who wants 'smores?

Smalls: What are smores??
Fat Kid: Yer killin’ me, Smalls, yer killin’ me.

I gots some rip bread. Good sourdough. And pistachios. Just throw the shells in the fire when it gets going. (Oh, and if no one gets on that soon enough, I’m buiding the fire. So there!) Annnnnd… pepperoni. Slice it yourselves.

I’m all about snacks here folks. Just no one steal my seat when I go get the rum and we’re jake. (Is there a “Move Your Meat, Lose Your Seat” rule around here? 'Cause I got a nice folding armchair. Cup holder in each arm.)

Eilsel - WHOA!!WHOA!!, you need some help with that. Your pretty strong for a petite one! Come on now, let me help you! I brought some specialty Patron Gold Tequilla for the lucky few who get here first. You got some rasberries in there somewhere? I may be a big man but I love rasberry margarita’s. I brought some Courvassier (sp?) to make some Cadillac Rita’s too!!:slight_smile:

My wife on her way with another homewrecker of Capt’in MOE-MOE for sit around loling capt’n’coke’s… Good for sipp’in!
Let’s grab some of that wine and make some Sangria if there’s going to be a lot of people.

Phlosphr, Eilsel… I hope one of you two brought one of these .

Perfect for making mosquito margaritas.

They’ll go perfectly with this <thunk> big cooler of fillets.

Who’s starting the fire?

“RV camping” is an oxymoron. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry, RT, but I don’t do tents. YMMV. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the drinks, Eisel. I’ll have me one of those raspberry magaritas, please.

I’m hoping Wang-Ka shows up…I want to hear some of his stories around the campfire tonight.

I’ve got the grill fired up…who wants hamburgers and who wants bratwurst?

:eek:

Dontcha think that blender looks kind of…well…phallic?

(wondering to myself if it has other purposes…)

Gee, you guys make your 'ritas real fancy…I figured we’d just put in our mouths a shot of mix and a shot of whatever and shake our heads around. ROFLOL

ahem

…that might be later when we don’t feel like using a blender w/a penis any more.

PUH…LEEEZ I want one of these please!

I like my 'ritas on the rocks please. I have a big batch of cookies (chocolate chip (w and w/o nuts), shortbread, and chocolate snappers) and brownies–but try to save some to take with us when we go on a hike (read: amble around the trails in the woods, not (and I repeat NOT) putting on big heavy backpacks and climbing mountains, you can do that without my cookies*).

Did anyone bring a guitar?
*Okay, you can take some of the cookies with you when you climb the mountain, but only because you didn’t suggest that I’d enjoy it if I went with you. We all know that’:s not true.

I’ll need a little help putting up my pavilion. It’s a little odd for a normal camping trip, but you’ll thank me if it starts to rain, or if the sun comes out and it gets up to about a billion degrees. I’ve also got a couple dome tents people can share if they want.

Here’s a cooler full of homebrew; careful, though, it’s about 5%. Little flat, though.

I’ll set up some tiki torches, too. Those are always fun.

Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya…

oh…

sorry, got carried away blushing

:eek: That’s SOME blender! HOLY TWO HANDLED BLENDER BATMAN!

Hmm… drinks and dinner sound great. I’ll bring the eggs, bacon, bisquick and SPAM for breakfast. And the OJ and champagne for the mimosas. Oh, and this bottle of single malt for later. When does the fire jumping start??

Here, Ethilrist, let me help you with that pavilion. What a smart idea!

I have a nice basket of pinecones to throw in the fire when we get it going. Krisolov, you can put the food in the RV’s fridge.

Anybody need some herb? I’ve got big bags of Golden Thyme, Rosemary, and Chives. Help yourself. If you’re into aromatherapy, the volatizer tent is over there. Yes, the bright green one. I’ve got a big cauldron of tomato sauce right here. It ought to be ready about 5:00. I’ll have spaghetti rigate and farfale. It’s up to you. Woops. The CD ran out. Y’all want Dave Mathews? Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Lucinda Williams? Ry Cooder?

“Herbs.” You meant to say “herbs,” right? I thought you were asking an entirely different question, there…

No tarragon? Hmmm…

whisking away in a bowl

I’ll take some of those chives for these mini quiche I’m making…

OKAY!!!

Who took my 'rita?? It was sitting RIGHT HERE and someone stole it…

blushing

whoopsie! Never mind, I found it…I musta drank it all…

urp

Now thats a blender!!! Uh I’ll have a Cadillac Rita! sounds nice…

Herb.

Hmmm.

Do I smell Brownies??

whapping your hand w/my spatula

Yes and stay out of them…they’re special
