ok - keeping with what is now 4 years of the same post on 9-10:
saw it was exactly a year ago I started this thread, which was exactly a year after the 2009 post. we're planning our return, and can't wait to see everyone. PDO here we come - we certainly hope to see everyone again!
Don't know if I'll be able to come down this year....daughter/son-in-law may be moving back to Phoenix around same time (he gets out of Army in Jan. 2013).
The pot luck will probably have to be held over at Chuck's trailer if they have it this year....blame it on San Rafael Park complaining to Rosemary (the owner of the trailer with the nice patio we've used the past 2 years).......about the "wild parties" I've been having there!! Gosh, darn, and nobody invited me! :rofl:
Based on last year only --
More people than usual, but not exactly crowded. Since it's not a holiday in Peñasco, everything was open. A few of the restaurants served the "traditional Thanksgiving dinner."
just checking to see who may be there, Michele sent me the info from Chuck regarding him and Val hosting this year.
very much looking forward to having a great long weekend!
We will bring green and fruit salad. As the group is smaller we will down size them.
I will also bring a turkey, med size, and we also have a deep fryer. I am not sure if it has a turkey rack in it. Do you think we can make one out of a wire coat hanger? If not what do I need to get to make one?
Is the boat trip still on? I need to get Peanut oil if it is and this weekend is the only time I will have.
Bill,
boat trip is on for friday - contact Mark and Barb, she's doing deposits thru paypal. can't wait to see you again my friend, we'll stop by wed when we get to PDO early afternoon! see latest emails with Chuck, Michele and Mark. not sure what you need for the fryer, I'm sure we can all dream something up :)
potluck is at Val + Chucks - see Bill at site #50 PDO for more details. I think we have 3 turkeys so far, couple of stuffings, gravy, salad, veggies, pies, smashed potatoes...and I know i'm forgetting some stuff. we'll stop by and see you in #43 once we get there Wed afternoon!
Can I pay for the boat when we get there? Do you know how much this year? Bouie does not look to good, sure hope it is wrong.
I don't remember does the boat have fishing poles etc. for those that do not?
Bill,
I hope you got your boat reservations in with Mark + Barb in advance - saw that the boat is now full. we paid a deposit thru paypal, and will pay cash for the rest Friday morning. Boat had a number of poles, not sure whose (if they are owned by the charter?) I think Chuck brought a few also. Not sure if Rick will be coming along this trip or not - he was great on the last trip, the poles may have been his.
