Nor Cal & North SF Bay GTG (November 11-14, 2022)

[Frank Boyer]

2dogs (bill) and i have been talking about organizing the food for the gtg. Both of us have done food for groups and have some equipment for quantity. We looked at sat lunch/ dinner and sunday breakfast/ lunch. We would need help with set up, clean up, money (probably around $6 a meal) and cooking.
Eccentric is covering logistics and very busy. He needs a head count, and we would need a head count for food.
Is anyone interested?

Tosca reh on Sunday, Lohengrin performance Sat evening. I've been in the SF Opera chorus for about 20yrs.
the only lead roles I've done have been with the smaller opera companies in the bay area.

That's awesome! My grandfather (baritone) sang professionally, and my dad (tenor) sang for fun with a light opera company in the East Bay for the Mikado, Pirates of Penzance, etc.
My old man has reel to reel recording of my Grandfather. I am a baritone as well, but I only use it in private.........LOL!!!

what a kick. My dad sang with local groups here as well as being in the Cal Berkeley glee club in the 50s. His dad sang with RCA radio out of Oakland in the 20's
4th generation tenor

10-4 i can only stay for a couple hours though...

i got to get cracking on the northern California chainsaw refuge 2.0

20-8 (10-4 twice ) - 10:00 Am and stay as long as you can. We'll get stuff done any way we can.

Have chains ready and ropes. So Skyhorse is coming on Tuesday to choke out some cuttin wood. His tractor is already there

Everyone who can should bring swap meet stuff.

Bring your instruments and voices too - Rob is a guitar/mandolin player and I know others are too. Seems there is a bit of old timey tunes and groups loosely forming around the Bale Mill and maybe this thing too?

Saturday will be excellent day as I'm sure some folks will drift away to travel back on Sunday.

Well I have guaranteed that you all will have some big cubes there. A Homelite 2100S and a PP 655 BP are on their way.

Are you bringing your guitar JP?opcorn:

You never can be sure................but the forcast looks good for next weekend. Should be some showers on Wednesday and Thursday, then clear on through the weekend. The forcasts for that weekend have been 'revised' every day.......with it looking better each time. This is the weather however, and nothing's guaranteed....opcorn:

I can bring it, as long as I can carry it on the plane. I'll check into it.

I didn't even think about it, but we have been going crazy at work with all this hurricane nonsense. We had to work all day today. If it hits hard, I may have some issues getting out of here next Friday. Let's hope for the best.

Crap. I didn't even think about that since it's on the other side of the country. Hope and pray that you don't get held up. I just noticed that the storm in question shares its name with the park ranger at Bothe. Ranger Sandy Jones......

Yesterday Robby and I put the camper shell on then truck and this afternoon we got all the camping supplies together. We will get the food together this week. He is so excited and can't wait to go. He turned 4 last month and this will be his first camping trip.

Is there running water at the camp sites? I need to know before I go shopping for food.

Well, folks, the time is drawing near. I have to ask (like I always intend to but usually forget) -- is there anything I can bring that will be useful to the hosting and planning folks? Paper plates? Anything? Just wanna make sure I do Due Diligence, y'know.

Bring JacobJ and RandyMac and Paccity and Farley9N and T and....

As far as I know we're on our own for food.
Eccentric expressed interest in the Timberline sharpener. If yours is still tied up I'll bring mine.

There are spigots along the access road throughout the campsite areas. I believe it's potable water, but can't saw for certain. Hopefully Bruce will pop in and answer that question.
