LAST CALL and final info for the LODGE!
The overnight at the Baker Near Wilderness Settlement is only 11 days away! So here's the last call for anyone who has been wanting to sign up but hasn't done so yet!
http://www.threeriversparkdistrict.org/outdoor_ed/baker_nearwilderness.cfm
Details: noon Saturday, March 28th, to noon Sunday, March 29th
Where: Baker Near Wilderness Settlement, 4001 County Road 24, Maple Plain, MN 55359
$25 covers lodging and meals - for anyone that hasn't paid yet, I would appreciate getting your money by this weekend so I can do the grocery shopping! PM me if you need more info or my address...






















For our meals, I'm wondering if we should go with the same menu we had last year? (Saturday, lunch is on your own - eat before you come, or pack your lunch and eat it in the beautiful log lodge!)
For dinner Saturday night, we had chili and all the fixin's (cheese, onions, sour cream...). I'm thinking of making Rose's cottage cheese fluff to go with that, and maybe mini cornbread muffins?
For breakfast Sunday morning - "egg goop" (eggs scrambled with bacon, cheese, and potatos), and fresh fruit.
Around the clock, there will be plenty of coffee, and water with mixers (Crystal Light, Ocean Spray, Wallyworld's brand, etc...).
Everyone is welcome to bring potluck items to share, but I don't want this to be a snack-fest! Remember - we're not about food, we're about FUN!!
There will be a night hike with a staff person - otherwise, for activities? It's a crap shoot! If you have something you think would be fun (Wii, karaoke, games, knitting...), feel free to bring it along! (There IS a TV at the lodge, although no reception - so DVDs or games only.)
If you do NOT get a PM from me regarding other last details, it's because I don't have you on my pick list of people to send messages to - PLEASE PM ME!!
So far, I have 30 people paid - there is room for plenty more, so think about it!

Yeah...I can't wait to hang out with all the fantastic losers! Plus I could really use some down time! Last week had far too many activities!
I do plan on bringing my Espresso maker for lattes. I will provide the espresso beans, two gallons of milk, SF Hazelnut, Vanilla and Caramel syrups from Starbucks. People may want to bring their own mugs since I think the ones at the lodge are on the small side. This will be my contribution to the snack table!
Thanks again for organizing this Darla!
Oh, BTW....why don't you get me a list of the names of who will be there and I will make nametags.
