Howdy Jim,

 

Well......................I like Chili, I just might have to make this trip after all. :D Is there a limit on bowl size, do you provide asbestos TP? ;)

 

Dave

Dave:

 

I forgot, while we are eating chili, the smaller dutch oven is cooking up desert (maybe peach cobbler). If I really get motivated, I may throw some blue cheese garlic bread on the hot coals to go with the chili. And, cook up some elbow pasta to make chili-mac.

 

Did I mention that the person who eats the most has to do the dishes? :rolleyes:

Howdy Jim,

 

Well if your cookin, I can probably be talked into helping with the cleanup, my total lack of culinary skills is embarasing. A good friend of mine is really into the Dutch over cooking, he stacks them on top of each other, has a spacer made from old motorcycle sprockets to keep some distance between the stacked ovens, puts burning charcoal between the ovens and prepares some very good meals in this manner.

Thanks for your efforts. I know that you are putting in a lot of time and effort on this project.

I volunteer to make my world famous (?? :) ) dutch oven chili. The chili is cooked in a dutch oven, over a wood fire (actually the coals after the fire burns down) and simmers for hours.

People will just need to come by my camp, bring a chair, a bowl, a spoon and the drink of their choice.

Jim

I will definitely be in line. Sounds great. :D

As an FYI, I posted a link to this forum topic on the Heavy Haulers BoF Facebook page to help get the information out to people who don't follow the forum regularly.

I won't be able to make it that far west for a few more years. Hope the rally takes off and the Dutch Oven cooking remains a part of it. In the Small Iowa town of Fremont my parents attended the annual cook off held there in the summer. When my Dad passed away and I spent most of the summer helping Mom prepare the property for sale I went with her. Her description of getting a little sample of everything that was prepared lead me to think I would have to supplement my lunch after attending. BOY was I wrong. Yes the cups were very small, but the number of them more than enough. I was pleasantly stuffed by the end of the event. I would attend in a minute if I were in the area again.

 

I worked in Reno for three months many years ago. There are plenty of activities in the area and not all of them include gambling. I don't remember when the wild horse round up is but it was quite a sight to see north of Sparks. There is also Lake Tahoe and it's at it's lowest ever. Take advantage and take a look around at things that haven't been seen in eons and hopefully soon with be again covered with water and not seen for a good long time.

JTR,

 

Might have to take ya up on that!

Any chance you might have some free time to come by and say Hi?

 

Scott

 

Sure, where are you located - Reno? We make trips to Reno periodically, actually there's a possibility that we'll be going there on Sunday.

 

 

Edit: Did you mean during the Rally? We will stop by for sure!

Great to have some locals in the group. I called the park yesterday and asked about truck parking and was told even if we as a group were a little longer than the sites they didn't have any issues with that. Most are 70ft pull thru's so I would only be a couple of feet over. :) Now just to convince the boss to take a few more days off of work.

Howdy All,

 

I just now made my reservation at the RV park, I'll be checking in the afternoon of June 15th, leaving the morning of June 22nd.

 

I have made contact with a local Uralista who knows the area well and has volunteered to act as tour guide so we will spend the first three days of my stay playing with our Ural's in the area around our camp ground, desert, forest, paved and un-paved roads. After three days of Ural-a-ling I should be pretty well worn out and need a few days to sit down, do some BSing along with chili eating and beer drinking to get rested up for the trip back home.

 

Looking forward to seeing you folks in June.

Awesome! More the merrier!

 

Scott

Howdy Scott,

 

The lady I talked to when I got my reservation didn't give me a price, just charged a 5 buck registration fee, told me she wouldn't have the price of the site until we had TEN reservations as it will take TEN confirmed reservations to get the rally discount. So we need at least three more campers to register to lock in the discount. Come on you slackers, join the party. :D

I am staying at JGW in Redding, CA right now and I met up with someone here who was very intrigued by the HDT idea (not necessarily for himself, but in general). We are going to talk some more later, but I mentioned the rally to him and he may come to get more information.

Turns out that we cannot have open fires. But, I will still cook up some chili. Not to worry, I have plan B and C in place.

Howdy Jim,

 

By plans "B" and "C", I sure hope your not talking about B3 units in a C ration carton. <_<:lol:

Plan B is Denison canned chili cooked in the microwave, since we will have full hook ups (I think). Plan C is Denison chili cooked on the RV stove, inside the trailer.

I usually boon dock in the middle of the desert. So, I never run into a situation where I cannot have a campfire!

I suppose I could go to the military surplus store and buy some of those "meals in a box" (MRE's) with the chemical heater built into the box, for Plan D. LOL.

Howdy Jim,

 

When it comes to chili in a can, the best I have found so far is "Nalley Jalapeno Hot". However, I have only found it to be sold up here in the Nor-Wet, I always have a bunch of it stored in the trailer, open a can, toss in a cut up hot sausage, throw it in the microwave for two minutes and it makes a good, quick, HOT meal. :)
