Need comments from this year!!!

Hi, all.

So we always say tht we are going to have some sort of close-out meeting to discuss what did and did not work this year for planning purposes for next year. I believe everyone should be able to post comments below this post to record their own thoughts on this subject.

As for me, I had the following thoughts (but will likely add to this list as time goes one)...

-Need to come up with a serious plan for when we have everyone coming through in the rain.
-Need a lot more people for the clockwise direction (i.e. next year) so we can spell people.
-Tiki torches ROCK.
-Need more fuel for the 6 kW generator...especially for next year when we are open straight through the night.
-WTF were the portajons???
-Need less watermelon.
-Need more utensils by about a factor of 3.
-Need more serving tools (spatulas, big spoons...Sussmans, thoughts?)
-Need more vegetarian-friendly options.
-Need to thaw the frozen food sooner/more efficiently.
-The slow cookers seemed to be a waste of time and energy.
-Need to establish a "specialty food" for our aid station.
-Many requests for banana pudding.

That is all I can think of right now. Please add your comments to the list...we need to get everyone's throughts down!

2007 Photos

That last one requires some explanation. We were driving back from Silverton to Grouse when we came across this RV park in Eureka and couldn't believe what we saw. We had to get a picture (albeit not a great one) just as proof. So here you have these bloody Texans and their whole RV and ATV setup. So what is that under the patio tent, you ask? Well, not like the RV is not sufficient (after all the Texans MUST have their creature comforts!), there is the screened-in patio tent. Underneath that tent is a full-sized famly dome tent WITH THE RAIN FLY ON. No, really. Like I said, we couldn't believe it and sought photographic evidence.
