Event Description
Let's get into condition for Thanksgiving with our fourth (or is it fifth?) Annual Thanksgiving Feed. This year we'll be at Del Valle again, since it worked well last year. We'll provide a turkey, but bring whatever side dishes you want for the Saturday Potluck under the Tent of Doom.
Please note that the park locks its gate at 10 p.m., so you have to arrive before then.
Friday Night will be Pizza Night. Those of you with camp-stove ovens are encouraged to bring them. And those of you without them are invited to use ours, although you'll be on your own for the actual pizzas (8'' diameter maximum).
We'll be using the same part of the park as last year ... the loop that contains campsites 31 to 41 (31 is the only one with power, if you need it).
A map of the campground may be found at http://www.ebparks.org/files/Del_Valle_campground_09.pdf
Reservations can be made after Labor Day Weekend.
I'll try to reserve space 38, and suggest that we start booking the ones on either side of it and directly across the road. I am willing to share my space with somebody else, so let me know if you want to do that or get your own.
And, of course, bring wood, bring wine, bring musical instruments if you've got 'em...
(Speaking of firewood, I suppose that the info we got last year still applies:
"FIREWOOD: To limit the spread of Sudden Oak Death fungus, you may NOT BRING UNPROCESSED/NATURAL FIREWOOD into the park. You may bring wood which has been commercially purchased and certified to be uncontaminated, processed fire logs or cut lumber. Family campground kiosks at Anthony Chabot and Del Valle have firewood for purchase".)

Spot 37 is parallel and the rest are tandem parking.

Dang. Sorry for multiple posts.
So I see that a potential of twenty one of yinz are going to partake so that's 11 sites that need booked.

I only see seven known sites booked by VWCF members. Joel had to bail from site 20. Reimburse him and there's two vehicles. Mary stated earlier that she (they) won't make it at site 31. It's across the grass a bit but has hook ups. Reimburse her and there's two vehicles.

I missed Kris is site 40 so that makes eight sites booked for 16 of you.

One more and I'll leave ya alone.
The campground entrance is set up that the ( in ) gate gets locked at ~10 pm, IIRC.
The ( out ) lane has those tire spike things. You can always leave but can't always get in.

Oh I forgot! Since I'm not able to go, I will give site 20 to the first person that responds to my email jbubeck@hotmail.com

41 Gene BurrisI'm kinda keeping my own second slot open for some friends who may or may not show up (his mom has surgery on Thursday, so his weekend is still questionable). I probably won't know if they are going to be there until Thursday night.
As for the rest of you, get in touch with Mary or Joel or start buddying up. I wouldn't want anybody to be disappointed.

My second slot is spoken for at the moment. If that changes, I'll let you know later.

Blake and I will be taking Joel's spot with room for someone to join us. We won't be there until either after 8pm on Friday or on Saturday morning.
