As I mentioned earlier, both the charm and the trouble with Washburn is that it is on an island. It's really easy to get carried away by bringing too much.
For the potential 20-25 people who will be able to attend the dinner on Sunday night, we need to consolidate what we bring in terms of large bulky or heavy items.
Tables: If I recall there already is a picnic table out there. I have a outdoor full sized table as well, so there will be two. I can either take it back Monday night or leave it and get it later if the hard core's need it.
Coolers: We really only need two large coolers at camp - one for fish and the other for drinks, food, etc. I can bring a 100+ quart cooler for either purpose. We need someone else to also bring a big cooler, particularly if the person is staying the duration. You should bring tupperware to keep your food dry in the large coolers. Fish should go into one, food and drink in the other. <font color="ff0000">We need one more big cooler.</font><!--color-->
Stoves: For a peak attendance of 25 people, two (2-burner) propane stoves should suffice. I will bring one, so only one more please and it should come from someone who is staying the whole time. <font color="ff0000">We need one more coleman style stove and fuel cans.</font><!--color-->
Grills: To grill food on sticks means no cleanup and great eats for the group dinner. To do kabobs we will need two small portable grills like last year. I plan on buying one. We need one more - unless there are already two out there then I will not bother. If those staying the whole time want to grill, then you should be the ones who bring the other grill. <font color="ff0000">We need one more small grill and fuel (or charcoal).</font><!--color-->
Lanterns: We can adequately light up the site with three or more lanterns. Those who are staying all three days should bring the lanterns, but I will probably bring mine for the big Sunday gathering. <font color="ff0000">Full term clavers should bring two or three lanterns total.</font><!--color-->
Tents and sleeping bags: We should all plan to bring what we need in terms of shelter and comfort. If you only have a huge tent, please tell us that so we can maximize the people/tent ratio and lessen the load for boats.
Water: We should try to use no more than 3 gallons / day for cleaning water (5 for Sunday) and 2 gallons / day for drinking (other than personal spring water, etc). I will bring a 5 gallon container of wash water and 2 gallon container of Poland Springs on Sunday morning. <font color="ff0000">We need one or two 2 gallon spring water jugs and additional wash water. Alternately, we could all bring our own drinks and therefore we only need additional wash water.</font><!--color-->
Sunday Dinner: The auction proceedings will pay for dinner. Anything not covered will be collected by a passing of the hat. Those who can pick up designated food items from the list (coming shortly) will be reimbursed, let us know ahead of time that you are the one getting an item to get refunded (and avoid multiple items).
Boaters: Those who are kind enough to take us out to the rips will not pay for dinner, and we should offer to cover gas for their trouble. I suggest some flies too, right GregO?
