"There is something hypnotic about the sound of 40 generators and a drum beat!!"
- Plus1, from the 'McLotofus – Top Ten Things Learned from Camping'
I just love that line and it is so true!
Welcome to the Clan Mclotofus Camping Thread for the 2010 Season!
It is time to start thinking about camp! Huzzah!! Be sure to log in on the McLot site and put your name on the camp roster, see what's for dinner and other discussions and events we have planned!
We will be in our usual area for the Big 3 on Rows 7/8, roadside. These are the only weekends that we request donations for meals and drinks. The donation request is $20.00 per adult, per weekend and this includes:
Friday: Dinner
Saturday: Breakfast & Dinner
Sunday: Breakfast
We will also have the usual water, juice, coffee, sodas.
Camp is BYOB.
A lot of folks in our clan also camp on the other weekends as well and some members will attempt to keep claim on or around rows 7/8. There will not be an official camp kitchen on these weekends.
Don't forget that Celtic Christmas weekend we will have our Fourth Annual TRF Thanksgiving Dinner! This will happen on Thanksgiving Thursday, dinner time yet to be announced.
We can keep a running tally here but please sign in on McLot to ensure you are officially accounted for. This will not be the "official" roster.
All Hallows Saturday we will be having our Chili competition! More details on McLot site!
Thanks BP. ;D
Huzzah! I am so ready to get started planning, and I can't wait until TRF is here.
It has to be that time again. I am back. lol ;D
Done!
* stickied *
Let's keep it to two stickies each for McLotofus and Phoenix Risen. As we near opening gate there is usually a general TRF Camping thread also. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in a few months.
Thank you Sir Martin!
FYI! We are having a little culinary competition....
Chili!
Any clan member that wants to vie for the honor of braggin' rights as the Chili King or Queen, head on over to McLot and sign up! :)
Can't think of hot chili right now. Feels Like I just at some of the hottest, sweatin to death. But I'll sure be ready for it then.
is Fraser of in charge of the potato salad again? ;)
hehehehe
*makes note to put antacids on the clan shopping list. wonder if it comes in 10,000 count bottles?.....*

*bounces off the walls

it will be here before ya know it!
then it will be panic mode and asking yourself 50 or so times if you packed this or that... :)
Is it just me, or are we going to have a smaller group camping? Where is everybody?
Folks should start waking up from their summer naps soon, don't worry. :) We will also have a few folks camping with us that don't post here or on our forum.
I would not be surprised if there are less of us this year though due to economics. Nature of things these days. :(
;D ;D ;D Whooooo Hoooooo! ;D ;D ;D
When Bonnie...me and a bottle of tuaca get together...it doesn't matter how many are in the group! It's going to be fun...and we will be drunk!!! lol ;)
Who's ready for Rennie Math??? ;D ::)
Is it too early for Rennie Math??? :'(
Go for it!! ;D
Hooray Rennie Math Time! :)
I have SO much to learn! Boob pong, rennie math .... :P

I'm right there with ya Brenna..i mean Boob pong???? rennie math I think I get..it is sort of like counting those sit-ups in gym class..1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 25, 26, 27, 28, 49...so forth and so on...lol
There's a slim chance I might be able to get down there for opening weekend (pending a band gig). I'll add myself to the roster, just in case!
Sounds good Batninja!
:o :o I'm awake...I'm awake!!! :o :o
Hum, I think I responded some time ago but will be there for AHE. Will drop in McLot forums.
Yeah no kidding 29 days til opening. Well I hope we havent lost them in the shuffle. :D
Thanks for the rally Fraser! ;D

Well, Hell.... more chili for me! ;D
*note to self.... stand
up wind from fraser......*
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! :-\
Leave it to Bonnie to say OUT LOUD...what we all were thinking! lol ;)
Bonnie/ Jules
point away from fraiser and nasty's T/T, as far as possible
when we arrive opening friday
So, as you guys know, the fiance and I will be at faire for AHE!
The question I have is will there be space for us to set up camp, etc...we wont be there until early Saturday.
Do we just find you guys and set up shop where we can find a space?
Heya...question.
Arrrrr any of y'all camping on Roman weekend? I know it's the "meh" of all weekends but my parents are coming to visit me for the first time since i've moved to TX! I want them to see faire and camp..so jw if McLot will have a base that weekend, or if I should just find a spot wherever for us.
Quote from: Fraser of Lovatt on September 20, 2010, 12:18:40 PM
oh, there'll be space... we usually circle(rectangle) the wagons(Travel trailers) and have the tents inside the T/T's. If we know you're coming, we'll have the space. McLot, on the Big 3, usually takes up an acre... maybe a bit more.
*cackles as we take over the faire in style!!
Please add the Dirt Fairy's Daddy (James) to the list! ;D
Opening weekend camping list ;)
I added him on our list on our clan site! We don't have one here on R/F as it would just be too much. :)
Gotcha ;)
I posted this on the clan forum but will post it here as well.. for AHE weekend we will be bringing 1 additional person. I will be sending the additional $20 for camp donation one day this week.
okie dokie! :)
Impressive camping setup over opening weekend, McLotofus. (:

Well thank you kindly! We do try to make our camp pleasant for all. :)
yes camp was nicely arranged..leave it to my son though to pick the spot closest to the kitchen...lol
Ahoy! I'll be joining for pirate weekend if there is room. I have a 3 ... (person/room?) tent and am bringing me salty wench!
Do I need to bring anything fancy, like grog? Or ears of my failed first mates?
Welcome aboard Omgwtfbbq. Pirates is not one of the BIG 3 weekends (opening, AHE, Closing). There will be some of us out, but not an official meal, or event planned weekend. Ask around row 7 thru 9 close to the road.
Posted on mclot,
We will be there on celtic christmas arriving as of now noonish thursday
Hoohah
Ok...it's been officially decided...WE WILL BE CAMPING WITH CLAN MCLOTOFUS ON HALLOWEEN WEEKEND!!!!!!
Tim and I are both going to get off work early on Friday the 29th so we are hoping that as soon as Dillon gets out of school we will be able to head for the TRF campgrounds!!!!
It's been almost two years since we camped....I'm so excited!!!!!
to all that are new to camping at trf:
enter the camping entrance which is Deerwood from FM1774. traveling north (from Magnolia) it will be after the main entrance and you will turn left. traveling south (from Conroe) it will be before the main gate and you will turn right.
you will need to show your faire ticket to the guard and pay $20.00 per vehicle to camp. follow the asphault drive. you will see parking rows that are usually roped off until it's time for faire. when you see you this follow the road to the right. stay on the asphault. the rows have markers counting down. you will see row 9 first and that will be us. we usually take up rows 7-9.
see everyone soon! :)
Its gonna be some chilly nights this weekend, keep them fires going and have a great camping weekend (o:
Good eve!
I am looking for information about the burn ban and wondering if it has affected the campgrounds. Our group is going next weekend and is curious if fires are still allowed? Any info would be greatly appreciate.

Once the winds winded down, we were allowed to have fires as long as they were in a off the ground fire pit WITH a cover over the fire at all times. They enforced it in many camps.
