Hey Alf, are there any planned activities we need to come prepared for? I've never been to a trailer rally, but I understand sometimes there are potlucks and such things.

OK. We're still figuring out this cooking-while-camping thing, so we'll bring something easy to the pot luck -- probably a cheese platter with olives and other go-withs.

Happy to join everyone at Betty's...

I'll bring my tongue weight gauge along. It will be available if anybody wants to test their rig.

Hi: dbailey... The beans are baked. Always better the more you cook 'em!!! Traditionally cool fri. eve is right on track... so bring some woolies for the campfire. We find the slo cooker and the exterior 120V outlet handy for potlucks.
Looking forward to meeting lots of new faces and re-linking some.
To those who couldn't make it this year... we'll post some pic's!!!
See you Fri. pm. Alf

I'm going to try Jim, but unfortunately only going to be there Sat PM and pot luck due to the fact we don't yet have a trailer and the fact I still have to work Sunday morning. But our house just sold so an Escape is on the horizon now

Alf - you said you wanted some different foods so I'm making a black bean quinoa salad.

Wannabes are always welcomed at these meets. Glad to hear you are that much closer to a new Escape.

Looks mighty chilly seeing all the coats being worn. I don't mind cold at all, but if it is damp, brrrrrrr...... not a fan at all. Though sometimes a nice roaring campfire can kill the chill. Regardless, great to see everyone having fun.

BTW, when we left the football game in Calgary after 10PM last night, it was still over 20°C. Quite remarkable for Calgary on any day of the summer, let alone mid-September.

Jim

Our week had the ups and downs with temperatures, it hit nearly 35 in Tor on Tues then as Alf predicted, a typical cool Friday night in Niagara. I'm just having my coffee then heading down there, anxious to meet some of these guys I've only know thus far through the forum.

Hi: All... The 2013 Niagara Wine Escape is history. Yes it was cool and slightly damp but as good campers we pressed on with the fun.
Thanks to everyone that helped us pull thru the weekend... Denis for the cake & bubbly for the impromptu anniversary celebration... We did IT!!!
Thanks again to Reace and Tammy for sending most of the prizes and to those that dropped off more on the table. The Riverside Park and Betty's Restaurant for their generous gift certificates.
Thanks to Mary Anne for her help and understanding during my long absents'...seems there's always someone to talk to on the way to the loo and back!!!
Thanks Jon for the great pic's. again this year
Hope everyone had fun... I know I did. Alf
