Which two nights will we be able to have a campfire, Al? Did I miss that?

We will be on BLM land Friday night, fire is allowed, NP backcountry Saturday night, no fire, & an adopt-a-cabin on Sunday night with a firepit/ring available.

Yes, we will bring firewood also. It can get pretty darned cold at the higher elevations.

We need to do some Feuerzangenbowle planning. Need to figure out how many sugar cones to bring and how much red wine. I sent you all a PM, please respond with the number of people who want to drink the stuff. Tasters don't count, only those who'll drink a cup or more.

For those who don't know the drink it'll be hard to say how much they'll want, as a guideline: Al and I usually meet at the empty pot looking for more after we had 2-3 cups each. Some have a hard time finishing one cup, it's strong stuff.

 

[Desertdude]

Uwe - I sent you a PM...

I will have in my possesion a couple cases of fine red wine making their way from the Santa Cruz Mnts of CA to Sedona AZ - by way of DV and the M101 trailer - I would be happy to donate a few of bottles to the cause :friday:

 

[blupaddler]

PM'd you.

I/we require at least two cups...
:jump:

 

[kcowyo]

Al or ModeratorDude or anyone who has been out that way lately, should I expect there to be any cell coverage in the area?

Just wondering if I should promise my wee ones a good-night phone call over the weekend or if we'll be completely out of range? eepwall:

 

[Desertdude]

Very very very spotty - mostly no service

...they don't call it Death Valley for nuthin :ylsmoke:

 

[whitethaiger]

Okay, the votes re Feuerzangenbowle ( FZB ) are in. We'll need a lot :wings:
The box with it all is already sitting by the truck.

It's time this thing gets an official name. This is the 4th straight year we'll do one close to Thanksgiving on a 4x4 trip!

4th Annual 4x4 Feuerzangenbowle

thirty four cups makes the ground look very close :Wow1:

 

[BajaTaco]

LOL - I am going to get a euro license plate that says "FZB" :jump:
