Great idea Happycamper.

I need to plan for more activities too...

I hope kids like stuff animals..

Parents that have kids, I have something in mind for the kids to do, but they will need to bring some photo's. Make sure the photo's that you don't mind to have them cut.

I have a lot of stickers and paper they can use to make a mini scrapbook album.

sounds great! I just pm'd you about something I ordered today to bring. I think it will be alot of fun for the kids.

Thought if the kids that are going to make the mini album have a least 5 photo's below is an example of the stickers I will bring for them to use.

Example of what stickers I will bring are
School stuff
camping
friends
all boy
all girl

you should join us at BANDY CREEK.. that trip is only a few weeks away.

I wanted to find out which types of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa you like. What are your favorites, and perhaps how many different kinds of coffee and/or tea that you like to drink?

Some of you know that I work for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. I will have several different kinds/types of coffee and tea available at the Smokey Bear trip in April. We also have a Keurig single cup brewer with us when we go camping. The brewer will allow you to try a different coffee or tea one cup at a time without having to brew an entire pot.

I was never a “gourmet” coffee drinker till I started working for Green Mountain, since then, we have had the opportunity to try many different coffees and teas and have been amazed at all of the different types and flavors that are available, we have several favorites.

So I thought it would be fun to be able to have several different varieties on hand at Smokey Bear for anyone to try including light, medium, and dark roasts, blends, decaf, flavored varieties and different tea varieties of hot and iced. I will also have hot cocoa.

From your posts I should be able to have choices available for all.

Thanks

That is a rel generous offer Dave. I would know the difference from one to the other since I just buy the cheap stuff

I would like to try flavored coffee.. maybe something like the Carmel/Vanilla Cream.. and the Hazelnut sounds interesting. The Chocolate Glazed donut coffee sound delicious too.

India Spice Chai Tea sounds good.

Dave, that's a great offer. I'm not a coffee drinker at all, but Butch is. I will drink hot tea on occasion. He's not much for flavored, but LOVES most other types.

I am with Donna... I don't drink coffee. I think it smells wonderful, but don't like it. My personal favorite wake me up drink in the morning is Mountain Dew, although I am trying to break the habit. Craig, on the other hand, is a real grump until he gets a couple of cups of coffee into his system. I like hot tea though...

India Spice Chai Tea is great with little milk and sugar what some favor (My favorite) Also the Carmel Vanilla Cream is great along with Wild Mountain Blueberry.

The breakfast blend and Columbia are smooth coffee, not bitter very nice to wake up to.

Then this will be your chance to live it up a little.

By the way, Butch wanted to know what time you get up when you are camping. He is an early riser and I told him about the coffee......he's ready at the ungodly hour of about 6 am.

Part of that answer depends on how late I get to bed. While camping I am usually up around 6-ish to 7. I guess I may need to bring an alarm clock...but that would probably wake the whole place up!

ok.. you guys do yer thang at 6am.. but come near my camper that early.

I'm with Chuck, just be quite guys

Darcamper wrote:I'm with Chuck

you won't be with me.. Hopefully.. you'll be in your own camper at 6am!!!

Dave, you don't need to get up.....he can drink whatever we bring....usually Folger's Regular Roast.

He can come and drink your coffee after you get to moving.

How early Dave gets up.. probably will have more to do with what he has been drinking the night before.
