Thats great!!!

Any other families out there?

I was shooting to camp at the killbear provincial park, but looks like we may be a little too late for that... I think we just missed the july 1st long weekend... all the waterside camp sites are gone...
Will look in more details at the other camp grounds later...

Any other families interested? we gonna have to act quick if we dont want to miss the good camp sites in July!!!

To start off, Here is my proposal :
we get a rough idea of how many families are interested and
on the dates.
we can all book our own campsites online.
we can try and get neighbouring campsites...but that may not be possible ( would depend on how big our crowd is )
we'll party once we're there : food/cards/beaches/swimming/fishing/limited drinking,etc,etc...



From my end, i am open to any weeknd in july from friday to sunday. Thats 3 days (maybe thursday as well)
I will be camping with my entire family : 2 adults and 2 kids.
Another family would join me : 2 adults and 2 kids again.
And there may be yet 2 more families who are currently deciding

Last year, i camped in Parry sound at the Ostler lake park.
It was nice and clean, but i think kill bear provincial park is much more popular and hopefully we can get in there. Last year it was all booked for my dates

Its roughly 4 hours drive from 401/404

Even if we manage 5/6 families, it would be fun!!! But the more the merrier

Let me know ur thoughts !!!

I am in with you Bison ......

You guys are right .... if we procrastinate we'll miss the boat ..... but I would suggest let's get an organizing committee and keep it organized instead of total chaos.

I am pretty sure since last year a lot of Desi's have joined and would like to come to the Picnic. ..... I would volunteer to help, plan / organize this out...... Bison U with me ?????? obviously with the blessing of the seniore Desi's and the moderators

Chandresh ?????? G.G. ????? VJ ?????

Bison you DA man !!!!!


I agree with Bison ..... We need to get a certain number ..... to minimize last minute entries / gate crashers we need to get organized ..... whether a PINCNIC or CAMPING

How about placing an " AD " on the front page ???? this way we attract more and more input as to what is an approx number ...... I guess one of the Moderators need to jump in with a certain agenda etc. etc. I do not intend to go above my head

sign me up too, my family of 4 is interested. if i have a rough idea, i can pull some more families too...please let me know

What happens in camping? How does it work? Where do you get the tents, sleeping gear and all? Buy? Rent? Food? Do you cook at site? Using what? Pots,pans? Are all these things available for hire near the camp sites? Any good website that gives all these details.
Will search for some now.

The Cynic

Hi All,

I apologize for a delayed re-entry to this thread. But as I have already said, PICNIC (ENJOYMENT) and VJ are synonyms to each other, SO I AM ALWAYS THERE. Only 18 days from today to leave the MOTHERLAND, hence tied up in lots of things.

As far as the two streams are concerned, I feel CAMPING is an APPLICATION SPECIFIC OUTING, where PICNIC would be more of a GENERALISED outing (one stop shop), where we can think of having everything under one roof.

But both gives great enjoyment, so I too am happy for both, but first choice would be a PICNIC as a fresher to the new land. PICNIC would give us a chance to meet new friends and know each other well.

I am infact looking forward to have sort of a week end gathering with MUSIC, MASTI, GAMES, DRINKS, SINGING etc..

BUT WOULD GO WITH THE MAJORITY. We are two alongwith 3 members from my host in CANADA (4 with a small cute dog)

Let the ball rolling now....



Love,

VJ
