Looks like a nice group so far.  I'm waiting to see if my younger daughter will come this time, my older daughter came 2 years ago so I'm trying to be "fair" (and the older has an event so she can't come anyway).  I don't know of any other R-poders coming.

I can bring some split wood although between what has been mentioned so far plus the stuff that is usually dumped at the top of the loop I'm not sure it is necessary.  Someone let me know.

In the past our group always set up a few EZ-ups and wrapped them in plastic, 2 years ago there was a full-sized "garage" tent, so they could be somewhat heated and used later in the evening when/if it got too cold to stand around the fire.  I always bring a propane-fired campfire ring for that.  I can do that again if anyone is interested.

I think it is best to answer your question in pictures.

Fire from Thanksgiving 2 years ago....2 cords of wood burned

The winter rally fire last year...only had 1/2 a trailer of wood.

TWO CORDS!  I burn over 4 each year in my house.  😮

So, that would mean NO on the warming tent, too, but YES on the suntan lotion.

I don't mean to jinx us, but the extended weather forecast looks pretty decent for mid-January 🙂

We had to cancel our reservations for the weekend. 🙁  Tommy's Academic Bowl match in Richmond was rescheduled by the hosting school to Saturday. Hope to see you all in the spring. Enjoy!

For Saturday dinner I'll be bringing beef stew over mashed potatoes, enough for everyone.

Does anyone want to make some cornbread to go with it?

Awesome!

I would volunteer on the cornbread since there is an oven in my camper, but I've never used it so I don't even know if it works...

I'll need to talk it over with my wife tonight.  Kids have play dates sat and Sunday.  I'm off on Monday.    Maybe a solo winter trip with the dog.    No snow ice fri.      Crap rain snow Sunday to Monday.

The wood trailer is all hooked up to the RV.  Beer is in the RV.  I'm ready.  Oh wait, I guess I should grab some clean underwear.

Looking forward to this.

The winds have picked up a bit, but the temp feels okay... for now 😉 Time to pack & then it's back to work for me. We threw a few logs & pallets in the truck, too.
