I'm passing through Iowa isn't there a lot of corn grown there.  How many ears are needed?


Thanks Barb, Lets wait & see if someone local can bring some home-grown

Nah, there will be a couple dozen local stands up around Rochester - Red Wing.  The corn here hasn't impressed us yet.

(But...there's tons of corn here.)

Iowa and Nebraska seem to never fail to grow enough corn to contaminate our oil. Fortunately we can still buy 100% premium fuel and Burnin Daylight will be full of it when we get there.

FYI - There are at least 2 fuel stations in Red Wing that sell non-oxygenated premium.

All Iowa stations sell the old stuff Barb...only the '89' mid-grade has 10% ethanol.  The 87 (what I run) and 92 are non-oxy gas.

Does anyone have a second turkey fryer?  We could get by with one, but two would be nice!

The tents and awnings would be nice everyone!  Thanks for everything listed so far!

Craig, the parts man at Supreme Marine, recommends either Mobile or BP. Stay away from Holiday or Super America. The debate is whether to use 87 or 92 octane. I have heard both ways. Use 92 myself.

We had an interesting trip to say the least.  Left a day early from AZ and got here 2 days early!  In Glencoe now doing a few more things to the boat. Anyone traveling up give Omaha a wide berth!  Took us 4 hours to get across the river there due to all the flooding.  See you all soon!

Anyone needing a boat for the weekend?   I was in Michigan this past weekend and drove by this '65 Frequent Flyer.   Had to stop and take pictures.    ;D

I sincerely hope you guys have a great weekend, everybody be careful out there!  Those of us who aren't able to make it this year will be with you in spirit, for sure.  We'll be hanging around waiting for pics and reports, so don't forget to fill us in.   :P

UPDATE:
As of today, I have 78 people registered.  6 parties will be bringing RV's (which is up from 4 last year) so we will have to squeeze them in where we can.  That's a good group, and there will be more that are coming for the day on saturday that haven't registered.

NEEDED ITEMS:Please consider the types of items that are needed to make group camping more comfortable.  Please feel free to sign up for any of the listed items, or bring other things that you have available.

1) Paper plates, cups, napkins, etc. (Paper is best as it can be burned).
2) Plastic cutlery
3) Table cloths or coverings with clips for the wind
4) Lawn Chairs
5) Tiki Torches / Citronella Candles
6) Projector and screen for kids movies
7) Awnings / Tents / Sun Screens, etc for shade and rain protection
8 ) Firewood - (or money to purchase wood. there is fire wood available at the campground for a fee.)
9) General tool kit, spot lights, backup up fuel cans, emergency gear.
10 ) Coolers with bottled water / beverages
11) 2 turkey fryers with propane and frying oil


I'm interested if you can think of otherthings that I should post.  Please reply if you have any of these things, or are willing to bring them.

Thanks!

I don't know if any of these things have been spoken for, but I have an 80" tripod screen and projector, plus dvd player, etc that I'd be happy to bring (used to do screenings for my independent movies). I also have a TON of plastic forks/spoons and plates from various Sams Club runs. I'd be happy to bring those too!

I'm packing up tonight to get ready to head down tomorrow afternoon so please let me know!

Thanks,
Josh

Josh - Bring 'em.  I have a projector, dvd player, speakers, but we need a screen...and the project & etc would be a great backup (or primary) plan if my stuff doesn't work or we have issues.
