West River Westies VI - Going Green in the Green Mountains

[rmace]

Oh great and powerful Gnome of the Locks. I ate the last photo last nite, does this mean I have too go straight to detoxs? Or can I come and share some of my Cazadores dakilla with volks? Volks if you haven`t been too the River you are missing a great campout! So do not miss this one, you will be sorry. The Gnome knows how to make it fun, come one come all. You will love it, later the Con Kid

When you see this beautiful waterfall on State Forest Road, you'll know you're pretty close to West River Westies.

Hey Nevin,
Question: I'd like to get a t-shirt, are taking in orders for them or are they going to be available at the campout?

[Vanagonjr]

Do I need to make reservations, or can I show up (sat aft) and get a spot?

John

[The Blue Max]

Just show up!!  Plenty of room for all.

[Vanagonjr]

Neophyte (or stupid) questions here (I have only had a abbreviated attendance at one VW camp-out).    I saw one quick reference to pot-luck supper.   If there really enough food for all with the pot-luck set-up?  Any set time for the pot-luck (I might be arriving late after climbing Mt Monadnock)?

Is it OK to just bring a desert to the pot-luck - my cooking skill is not so great - i.e. I can bring better things baked by my better half - gluten free if there is any demand for such.  

Guess it is time to unpack/repack from last weekend!

Pot luck is usually around 6PM.  Bring desert, that sounds great.  I'm planning on making my Italian sausage soup.  Going out to the store to buy the ingredients later today or tomorrow.
