Event Description
In celebration of 4/20!
We will be camping again at Lake Solano County Park campground, which is technically in Winters, but somewhat closer to Vacaville.
You'll need to reserve a site for yourself (and maybe your pal) in the range of sites from #39 to 45. That's the main VW area. If those run out, then consider snagging sites 9,10 or 11. And if those run out, there are lotsa other spaces.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR SITE. Or don't. No worries.
This campground is easy to get to, has a swell nature center, fishing opportunities and has unabashed roaming peacocks.
Saturday night will feature PANTRY-RAID CHILI!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Important notes:
(1.) This campground LOCKS ITS GATES at 9:00 pm. If you do not arrive before they lock the gates, you will be camping outside the gate until the following morning.
(2.) Although this event occurs near 4/20 day, it must be pointed out that all Solano County Campgrounds are smoke-free and they're quite serious about that.
Discretion is nine-tenths of the law.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PANTRY RAID CHILI INSTRUCTIONS:
Look in your pantry. Grab a 14 oz. (or bigger) can that matches the description on the list below.
Then, bring along that can (and a bowl and spoon for yourself) to the camp out. We will add the contents of your contribution to a base of beef and onions. There will be plenty. It will be supervised by Adults.
PANTRY RAID CHILI CONTRIBUTION OPTIONS:
Bring along one 14 -15 oz. can of any of the things listed below:
Pinto beans
Red Kidney beans
White beans
Navy beans
Piquinto beans
Diced tomatoes
Diced tomatoes with Italian spices
Diced tomatoes with Jalapeños
Crushed tomatoes
Chopped tomatoes
Rotel tomatoes
Chili con Carne
Chili sin Carne
Chili con Zarigüeya
Ranch Style beans of any variety
Please do NOT bring Black beans.
Please do NOT bring Garbanzo beans.
Please do NOT bring Lentil beans.
If bringing a can of beans won’t work for you, then bring corn bread, tortillas or a scrumptious dessert. Or a bottle of wine. We like wine. Or firewood. We like that too. If that won’t work either, then just bring yourself, a bowl, a spoon, an appetite and a new joke.

It took a couple of tries, but I got site #11 and got a confirmation email from the web site.

I’ll miss this year. A trip to Scotland trumps camping this time.

Hi John, It looks like the site finally gave up on me and I'm SOL. Fortunately, it didn't charge my card. I'd like to take you up on the offer to share your site if it's still ok. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kampnking

Karen and I were already planning a trip down that way in April, so this is perfect! Looks like all the preferred sites are gone. We're also happy to share with someone or get our johnny come lately exercise from somewhere elsewhere in the park - anyone still looking to share?
