I would be happy to donate cook space on top of my stove for a group effort. I'm sure we all have that covered, but if it helps in anyway. Coffee is about all I ever have for breakfast but I'll be happy to kick in whatever food, propane or funds I have for dinnertime.
Airdropped double-doubles? Only from a guy who's seen parts airdropped 900 miles into the Alaskan Outback!! So who's bringing the corndogs?
So many healthy eaters and lifestyles. And sure Capt. Corruption - I'll give the Hummus a try. That's probably the best-for-me thing you've attempted to corrupt me with!
Reminds me a funny quote - "I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants."

now that's funny I don't care who you are...:xxrotflma
I don't think its about cookware - its about simplicity and not using resources or water - kind of like a back packing trip on wheels.
I think a microwave will be in order for this trip

In addition to sharing meals...
I have an idea. :luxhello: We are all coming from various parts of the southwest. When I'm not drinking my usual Tecate, I enjoy a good microbrew. I'm going to do some shopping and bring some good local microbrews. I'll post up some choices and you guys can let me know which ones you want to try.
For starters, I really like the locally brewed Santa Fe Pale Ale and the Santa Fe Nut Brown. :beer: :beer: :beer:
SoCal has to have some good ones??

How quickly they forget the lone wolf in Wyoming, *sigh*........
MMmmm Santa Fe Pale Ale... Good on the way down, not too bad on the way back up. Or was that Sierra Nevada Pale Ale?
I'll see if I can dig up some Moosedrool for MFS and if any of the choices in this link look good, I'd be happy to tote some along -

I think I have a beer glass from there still :drool:

OK, now you've got my attention with the microbrew. :beer:
Chuck, if you happen to be in Taos between now and then, I'd love to have something from Eske's. If not, I'd be happy to enjoy whatever you come up with. Same goes for SoCal people - if you care to bring something, I'd be happy to trade for AZ beer.
If anyone would like something from AZ, I can bring Nimbus Brewing (Pale Ale, Nut Brown, or Monkeyshine). I can also bring Oak Creek Brewing (Nut Brown) and I might be able to find Mogollon Brewing Co. (Apache Trout Stout, Wapiti Amber, Horny Toad IPA), and Four-Peaks Brewing (Kilt Lifter Ale, 8th St. Ale). And the most rare of all - if you would like something from our very own Prescott Brewing, I can get a growler and bring it. They have great beer.
Oh yea, I forgot to tell ExPo folks who had mentioned Moose Drool (maybe on the CO trip this year?) that I got to try it on tap, and sadly I was not impressed. Bummer! Maybe just a bad batch? I can't recall the details now, but I think it was just kind of bland (?)
Regarding group meals, I will discuss it with Sharon and get back to you all. We were planning individual meals, but I too like only having to mess with it one night or morning - that would be great.

Hmmmmmmm...now I'm having some second thoughts about the group meal idea for this trip. Unlike Baja, this is a 3-night trip and we're 17 people (if all show) instead of 10. It's a bit more of a challenge cooking for 17 vs 10 (may have to change my menu!)...and if two couples share cooking each night, then there's more pre-planning and coordination involved...WHATEVER, I can go either way:littlefriend: ...I guess we're going thru consensus building at the moment ...but then somebody (our leader Al?) make a decision. One final thought...I really don't care about group breakfasts for sure(meaning - I don't wanna do one but I'll eat one lol) ...oh wait, I guess that's being considered so more folk have a meal responsibility vs two couples doing an evening meal?

Yeah, good point on both fronts...forgot to mention that... it occurred to me too that it might be cold as hell and making a big meal outside might not be so much fun...not like Baja anyway. And then, if it's cold plus early darkness, are we sure of having a big campfire around which to eat?

As much as it pains me to say it, Mark D. Beerdrinker is right. In the proper environment, it's A-OK. It helps that he's a cheap date, too.

Hey Chris, I'm not sure Eskes is sold in bottles, I'll check though. How long will it hold in a growler?
I try to bring the following:
Farmer's Tan Red Ale from the Tractor Brewing Company, based in Los Lunas, NM.
Roswell Alien Amber Ale from the Sierra Blanca Brewing Company based in Moriarty, NM.
Santa Fe Pale Ale from the oldest brewery in NM, the Santa Fe Brewing Company based in Santa Fe, NM. I love the zia symbol on the caps.

Regarding couples making dinner, etc.
My thought would be maybe a pot luck or similar. Or just bring enough to share, and everyone could sample. Cooking for 17? people is more than I am accustomed.
BTW...How the heck did you all go through two and a half thread pages since 0800 this morning? I just got home from work...How am I supposed to keep up?
Oh, and I might be traveling solo...Still working on Cat's schedule :littlefriend:
