As we are approaching the countdown here are some suggestions of what to bring. Remember, you are camping, so you will need a tent, sleeping bag, pillow, and what ever else you usually need when you are camping. Please, bring your own towels.
You are welcome to shower, but too many cannot plan on showering on Saturday morning unless you get up really early. We are hitting the trails at 8:00AM which means we leave my house at 7:30. Please plan accordingly.
There is food provided Friday and Saturday night. If you would like to bring a dish to pass, that would be nice. We will have chicken and corn on the cob for the Saturday BBQ (if you have not been here, not you're standard red-sauce BBQ chicken, much better), so if you would like to share a salad, bread, rolls, a great desert, that would be fantastic. Just be aware that fridge space is very limited so bring something that can go in your cooler or won't spoil.
Bring your beverages and/or beer to share. Most libations are on your own, but we at NEXTerra tend to be a generous group. If you have a good local beer, and you are so inclined, bring enough to share...I'm partial to a nice, unfiltered wheat beer.
Lunch on Saturday is on your own, so bring what you want to eat on the trails. Don't plan on stopping at the 7-11 on the way to the trails. We don't have time and we don't have one. If you need to pick up something on the way to the trails, there are farms...you'll have to kill and gut your own lunch and deal with the owner later.
Did I mention beer?
Fix your truck before you get here...I have hosted scores of mod days...this is not one of them. If your truck breaks, we will help you fix it to get you back. If you bring junk, it will stay that way.
Beer is always a good thing.
Most importantly for the weekend is to come and have a great time. Bring a positive, fun-spirited attitude. If you're grouchy, bring beer. If it doesn't help you, it will help others tolerate your attitude, or make the rest of us more likely to tell you what we think.
This has always been a great event!
