Ummm. I would just cancel so u don't have to give out ur account info. After u cancel I'll sang it

If you transfer it you'll only get charged a transfer/change fee. I think it's less than $10.

If you cancel you get charged a rather high cancellation fee. Much higher penalty.

I don't know how! There was no option for me to do that. Any suggestions

That I'm not sure of. You may need to call reserve America.

I certainly wasn't suggesting keeping receipts - honor system is great. I'm not suggesting anything other than pooling expenses and using a little common sense with regards to waste. It ain't that hard to plan a menu and divide the cost.

I know some people want to feed the multitudes for free, but then there's people like me who don't want to cook or bring squat but want to pay my fair share. And if some people want to donate food to the Stokes State Forest hang and want zero reimbursement, then that's just less shared expense we have, which is pretty cool. However, don't be selfish with your hospitality - let us lazy bums contribute in some way, even if only monetarily. I don't want to feel like a total freeloader.

So for Saturday breakfast and Saturday dinner, let's just determine how much food we wanna have and make sure we have enough, then add up the costs and divide it.

For Sat Breakfast, I suggest:

4 dozen eggs
3 lb. bacon
1 lb. pork roll
18 Rolls or 20 tortillas
2 lb. Cheddar

I'll bring 1 dozen eggs, 1 lb. bacon and 16 tortillas. Anybody else wanna volunteer?

PBTB12: you're making drop biscuits and sausage gravy too. How many servings you think you have?

Saturday Dinner

So far we have Perrito and a pork with beans in tomatillo sauce (I love tomatilloes), aircoder with sausage, potatoes and green beans, yooz85 with ribs, and Suede with pulled chicken and buns. How many servings you guys think you have?

Once we know that, we can decide if we want to supplement with burgers, dogs, slabs of meat, cole slaw, potato salad, or whatever.

Wood:

I haven't seen any follow-up posts on wood, so I'll bring two packages and a couple of fake fire logs. Should we add a column for wood on the spreadsheet?

I expect we'd need 12-16 pkgs of wood for Friday and Saturday night? As I recall, there was a fair amount of firewood at the site but would need to be collected.

A plan is evolving.. There is a 2nd worksheet on the signup that is "Items Needed". There are a few rows for wood there. So far, Coder is bringing wood. Wood at the site may be wet after the noreaster and finicky/smokey. I will likely pick up a bundle or two to contribute as well. I'm also thinking about picking up some cole slaw to top pulled chicken sammiches.

I transferred the site T218 Successfully to Jshep420.

[Jshep420]

Ok. I'm sending to ur account now. Thanks

[The Tree Frog]

I updated both spreadsheets. I will bring a couple dozen eggs, sweet roles for breakfast and paper plates and plastic ware for whatever meals.

Still need more breakfast volunteers. And second spreadsheet stuff.

Been a hectic work week, thanks to all for the coordination assistance.

I've updated the info post, link in my sig. I'll continue to do so with pertinent info until my edit period expires.

Re: Spreadsheet, I've tried to consolidate the gear & meals onto the second spreadsheet, hope I didn't muck it up in the process. It *seems* like we have enough food for dinner, although approx # servings may be helpful. Breakfast could perhaps use hash browns/grits or something to accompany the tortillas and biscuits. There are still a few outstanding holes to fill, check it for more info. One thing worth pointing out is that I don't have a dutch over per se, just a deep cast iron skillet (PBTB12 it should suffice for your chicken, at least on Fri). So more cast iron is probably a good idea.

I haven't had a chance to call and inquire about local firewood in bulk, will definitely do that tomorrow.

On the subject of receipts and reimbursement, honor system works too and I'd rather leave it up to the individual to contribute freely or not. I'll make the announcement for anyone to offer their totals, at the end I'll just add up whatever is submitted. My idea wasn't to be super official about it, apologies if it came across that way.

Ok. I talked to RA and I now have 3 sites(212, 215,218) settled. tried to cancel 212 but it didn't make sense because the cancellation fee was the same as the site. Ha. So there should be no problems with Parking or space available.

I'm excited. This should be a good weekend!!!

Yuuup!!! Really looking forward to it. I think I will be getting out there mid-afternoon tomorrow, maybe around 2 or 3.
