Terribly sad news. As many others have said here, he was a very knowledgeable outdoorsman who contributed a lot which many of us benefitted from.

Some details here about morels I did not know. Perhaps useful for any foragers reading this.

RIP Pete

Congrats on a new slaying vessel Alex!  That looks much slicker than the tin cans you usually float in 

 

Thanks, I think?

Ha! I might be taking my 12 foot aluminum to shelter for a few recon missions. Then talk to me about tin cans. Tenderfoot!

Just joking, that new ride looks really sweet.

Make reservation here Sonny. They will call back to confirm. They will assign the campsite. I have not tried but maybe you can request for a specific site. It’s good that they don’t charge by person like how Jack used to do it. I’m paying $95 for 4 people from Thurs-Sun

Thanks for the info Allan.  Tried to call but no one answer so will try again later.  Checked out their website to find out about the camp sites so maybe our group can stay close.   I think it used to be first come first serve under old management.

When I made my reservation, I made a note as to my 3 preferences.  They called back to let me know I got my 1st choice.  It's not noted on the e-mailed reservation confirmation though. The e-mail does say to expect an e-mail containing self-check in details about a week before arrival.

Once you've chosen the dates, click on the "Check Detailed Availability" tab under the calendar.  A list of every site with either a green check mark, or a red X will let you know what is and isn't available. 

I noticed that the rates increased since I made my reservation back on March 1st.  RV site w/hook-ups was $45 a night, now it's $51.67 a night.  There's a $5 per night charge for a pet.

Any changes at the camp ground?

New owners - Jack finally sold.  They're cool and very business-like.  I expect that reservations and delivery will be reliable and straight forward.  There will not be any kind of pay per person, like Jack would do.  It's strictly a campground transaction.

As for the potluck and awards, plus raffle, I have rented the pavilion and patio, so we are set for that - including Jack's Taco Shack!

This thread certainly hasn't lived the life of past GS threads, but I hope that those who are following are as stoked as I am for what we're putting together for the weekend of May 11th.   

We’re much older now Eric. We are saving our strength for the event😁

Seems like it's only the raw ones that hurt you. Yes?
I have some dehydrated ones that I want to eat soon. I've never eaten them after rehydrating and wonder if I should worry, or do a certain way.

Just got to make sure you cook them thoroughly. When you think that they are done.... cook them another 10 minutes or so.
