Gravy, munchy veggies and firewood.
I'll bring the grill again for warming and breakfast along with some tables.

F&K will be there with bells on. Probably more than that since we don't know if it will be snowing or not. We'll figure out something for everyone to chomp on too.

Don't forget your drop cloths...

Even if my Waggy is not done we will be there.

Might just have to go RV America, but I WILL BE THERE!

OH!

Cranberry sauce, and what ever else we need.

We are all in, kids been bugging me since they got back to school. For some reason my son now see's the changing of the weather to be time for "Thanksgiving in the Desert". So we will be sporting some of the best part of "Wilbur" and a table or two.

Myself and the boys (Cayden-6, Ryan-4) are in, maybe my father-in-law too.

After that freakin wind last year, I am dragging out the camper. When we get closer I will see what is missing and bring that.

Lisa is a maybe, but I'm in with the kids. Probably no jeep though as we will be pulling the rolling Hilton. I can probably do cream cheese mashed potatoes again if that worked last year.

And glad we have gravy covered... ;)

6k lbs. I've thought about it...I really have. I even have a weight distribution hitch that should keep the back end from sagging and brake controller is already wired up. If I didn't have the recent stalling issues and massive exhaust leak (it's gotten worse I think), I might just have tried it. Of course, getting IN to camp is not the problem...it's all downhill...

Drew,
you do realize that if something now does happen or god-forbid you get stuck, there is going to be some serious groveling to get help now...

Now wouldn't it be funny to wake up the next morning, truck all buried, and some really humorous FSJ'ers reminding you that if ya just pulled it with the Waggy, non of this would happen?...

I'm not saying who, but some of us are just flat sick.
