Cabins reserved for Thursday and Friday nights, May 17 & 18. Total price $200, we can square with them after we get there.

We can check in and leave without any set times.

I'll be first on site, and Freemans may actually be on a family getaway of their own til Thursday evening or later.

Larger cabin: (women's I'm thinking) four beds, a queen bed and a futon= 6 beds two-burner stove, small refrigerator
Smaller cabin (men's) one downstairs bed, two up a literal angled loft ladder = 3 beds, small fridge
A picnic table will be set by larger cabin
We can use their inside cooking stuff in their house (i.e., with our master baker and whoever else)
We can fish, if we bring fishing poles.
If we want to do fireworks, we can.
What am I missing? If no one wants to mess with food arrangements Thursday evening, I'll cover pizza, chips (Lady Melodya has already confessed to being addicted to chips,) and soda pop/tea for the group.
If we want an away outting for Friday, there is Robbers Cave State Park that we went to in 08, or we can wander the Freeman's place.
There is a local hole-in-the-hills diner four miles from the cabins that makes mighty fine grub, I'm told, at very reasonable prices. I also recall a good diner in the town 10 miles to the north.
I think the town 10 miles north (Clayton) has a grocery store.
What else?

Oh man. I SO wish I could surprise Chris with an anniversary present of two tickets to OK. Ah well. Some year. :)

You two are the great success of the original Stargazers. It would be my honor to somehow host the two of you, if ever you return to Oklahoma!

We've seriously talked about trying to talk the Freemans into letting us rent a cabin some year for our anniversary. :) But if we got to see other GPers on the trip too... well, even better. :)

I think I'm  going to try to have Clarence cook a brisket and pack it in the ice chest to bring for either Friday lunch or supper.  If Isaac is bringing lunch meat and cooking breakfast and John is doing pizza Thur evening, add to that what MY is bringing, we should be pretty good on food.

I wonder how it's looking for the Porters? 


If you get to come Roscoe, I wouldn't worry about food.  We all REALLY want to meet you!  You know Nathan is taller than Mini, right?  I'm hoping someone can get some fun pictures. 

This is top secret.   I have a itty bitty goal for the weekend there.  Nathan and I rarely get to go do stuff and while he is extremely laid back, and wouldn't admit it but for the twinkle in his eye, he enjoys my shinanigans.  I don't know when the last time was that he climbed a tree.  But I want to try and get him to climb a tree with me and/or the kids.  He's not scared of heights.  I'm always on the lookout for a unique fun memory to mark an event...

In 08, we all went up to a state park for part of a day..There are caves that bad guys (and a gal) holed up in during Indian Territory days. It has a lake with paddleboats and foam kayak-type thingies, even miniature golf.

Oh and there are trees! :)

I'm not so old that I can't still climb trees.  Sometimes I like to just sit up there and watch the world go by.  Very peaceful. 

Until the mosquitoes come out, that is...

Sigh.  I miss all the good stuff.  I've decided I need to get rich so that I can take off of work as I please.  That aside, I hope you all have a splendid time and if anyone does climb trees, photos are in order!

Okay.  Arrange to use the following code: 4,2,5.  That'll get into the first part of the building.  :-D

Girl, some of us have guns and other toys. We don't need no stinkin' code. I'll just contact a Federal Marshal friend and arrange a "hearing/warrant/pressing engagement"- the latter with Newsman  :freaky2: :freaky2:- no prob. :thumbsup2:

9 people guaranteed, right?

+ Possibly:
Roscoe (Chey & Lou?)
Jennifer's family of 4+baby?

We have 2 queen size air matresses that I'll bring with sheets.  Jennifer's family comes I'm wondering if I should bring our tent?  The kids maybe could each (boys/girls) take a turn camping in it?  Thoughts?  It's a size that fits the 2 queen sz air matresses comfortably, so the kids would have plenty of room with just pallets.

My hubby isn't going to be able to come.
I was thinking Isaac might want to bring his air mattress.

Also, just a question...
Do we want to do a white elephant exchange like we did last time?  It was really fun.  Everyone brought something either unique to their area, funny or just that they had on hand and we drew numbers then did the "dirty santa" where you can pick a new gift or snitch the gift someone else already has when it's your turn.

I was already planning to bring my air mattress (it'll fit two adults, or six large dogs) but the second person might want to bring his own blanket and pillow.

I saw a mention of a gift exchange in the thread you linked to about the last one.  We do that every year here, and call it Dirty Santa.

Grandma asks how much money should she bring?

How much will her part of lodging factor to?
