We're down to the final week!:) Weather is looking good for next week, Highs in the mid 80's, Lows in the low 70's with humidity in the mid 60's. There is a slight chance of thunder storms Friday night into Saturday morning, but we always have a slight chance of thunderstorms around here!

I just read that the Perseid Meteor Shower will be at it's peak Thursday the 11th through Saturday the 13th. Milburn Landing has an awesome place to stare gaze. There is a fishing pier on the river with no lights and a clear view of most of the sky. Hoping for cloud free nights.

Well, all the electric sites are booked! There are 5 primitive sites left that can accommodate a pop up or tent.

Ok, Anne wants to know if it's dinner or breakfast, she needs to plan, and plug her crock pot in now. LOL

Best Regards,
Norm

Do you want to do dinner so Anne can try the crack chicken again? Any input from anyone else?

We are open for either.  Can't say I've done a potluck breakfast so trying to figure out what to contribute would be interesting.

My goal in life is to be the person my dog thinks I am.

Fire wood has been arranged, I will pick it up Wednesday morning (1/2 pickup load, is that enough Joe?)

If everyone can give me a head count on who likes Hard Crabs I can put an order in with CrabMan and have Bar pick them up Friday morning. Fresh from the bay to the steamer!

Just a reminder if you have life jackets (especially for the children) please bring them. I will be providing boat rides and river tubing.

Also if you have kayaks the river is fun to paddle on. I will have my 2 there if anyone wants to borrow them.

I will be at Milburn around noon on Tuesday to set up. I'm going to head home on Wednesday morning  to pick up the firewood and the boat and should be back by noon.

Any other questions or comments just ask and I'll answer!

Just a few FYI's for the campground.

The campground is self check-in. When you arrive at the Ranger Station you stop and fill out an envelope and then head to your site.

If you need to fill your water tank you will find potable water on the left when you enter the camping loop. It is at the beginning of the overflow parking just past the first road to the right. There are also a few spigots located in the loop but this one is the closest to the road.

Since its self check in, I hope to be there around noon-1 on Friday, as long as things go as planned. Getting trans cooler installed now and than new tires put on Thursday. I love being a procrastinator.

Best Regards,
Norm

You shouldn't have any problems arriving at noon to 1. Both 17 and 18 aren't booked by anyone on Thursday. I'm still packing to head up this afternoon. See you on Friday.

We are leaving our house really early Friday so hopefully arrive around noon.  As for pot luck, will anyone eat teriyaki flank steak?
