Has anyone been to the Honda homecoming before?ChrisM 07-23-2006, 03:17 PM I'm curious, has anyone ever been to the Honda homecoming before? Are there consessions in the area? Is there any shade? I was thinking of doing the ice chest in the trunk thing for the meet and bringing a 10 X 10' sun shade/canopy. Am I over preparing? From what I understand, on Saturday, won't we be in a big parking lot all day? ChrisM 07-23-2006, 03:54 PM I would also like to add that maybe we should start a list of things people should bring to the meet so there won't be any surprises and everyone is prepared. I have been to other small meets but nothing this size. Here are the things that I am bringing for me and the wife. Camera- Shade - I am going to bring the 10 X 10' canopy I mentioned in my previous post whether I need it or not. Cold Beverages- Ice- Folding Lawn Chairs- Lunch- For those of you that are camping, are you bringing firewood or are you going to try and source it locally? If I remember correctly, getting wood locally is pretty expensive. If anyone would like to add to this list, please go ahead.

I'm staying at the hotel but I have some seasoned split pine logs (around 35 pieces) I can bring to the campground if anyone wants them for firewood. Let me know...

Dave...I think you should just stay at the campground in Ridge Court/Ridge Suburbs/Ridgeburbs with us. Grab a tent and cancel that hotel room. ( And bring the Dulcimer ):p :D CUinaRidge 07-24-2006, 07:40 PM but I have some seasoned split pine logs (around 35 pieces) I can bring to the campground if anyone wants them for firewood. Let me know... Only 35 pieces??? I was thinking we could get at least 10 RL's loaded to the gills with firewood!! NOW THAT WOULD BE A BONFIRE!!! or would it be a forest fire?? :eek: I would say... got room?? bring em and we'll burn em!! Don't forget the Marshmellow's.... :D SHUEY027 07-24-2006, 09:32 PM This will be my first also.:cool: Chris you raise very good questions. djeaux 07-24-2006, 09:38 PM Only 35 pieces??? I was thinking we could get at least 10 RL's loaded to the gills with firewood!!:D Anybody who wants to make a 1600 mile detour can have all the oak firewood they want. Seasoned since last August 29. I have dozens of trees that the salvage loggers left. Plus a 40-foot log trailer full of pine chipwood they didn't take either. Bring your own chainsaws. A skidder & knuckleboom or a couple of Bobcats would help, too. | |
