We started off with a Shawns GREAT beef stew, Gregs mashed taders and a great pie that Michelle brought made with Ricotta cheese peahes and blackberries.Yum.
Shawn & Stacy Tracy made popcorn and I think we all got caught up in the movie and eating the bags of popcorn.. We choose to watch the movie outside and not in the heated Add-a-Room
We had 12 members camping and one visitor Sat night, George G. he was helping with the popcorn. MORE PHOTOS (https://picasaweb.google.com/103751315247720367757/FreezeYourBussOff#) (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aCFTbwHh4BU/TxMT_Y391lI/AAAAAAAAJF0/uGfjTH7eS0k/s640/P1140211.JPG)

Great pics Jack!
You wouldn't think you could have a good time in 14 degree weather.
We had a great time. Learned a few lessons about what NOT to leave on the picnic table.
Hope everyone took a hot bath and a nice nap when you got home!!
Ha... I crashed on the chair, she on the loveseat. Woke up 4 hars later, the van door was wide open & there was still stuff in the driveway. Guess we were tired #@rofl3

Propane heaters in those lean to's.. but still sounds like where you'd put your horse.
Are we all going to room together? They only accommodate 6 people. Heather, Tim, Justin, Karen, little Matthew, big Matthew..but that doesn't leave room for Katie ,if she decides to brave the cold. &$hmmthin_+ Have to figure this out..

Well, I kinda wrote it wrong I meant sacrifice myself ( ie. maybe missing a nap to stay up and guard the women) but maybe subconsciously maybe I did mean sacrifice the women in that if the New Jersey Devil shows up, I dont mess with him ( he may tax me to death at the very least) so have to appease him through uh, .. sacrifice. Sorry.

Matt, I wouldn't challenge the Jersey Devil if I were you, either. Of course, Don't you live in PA, too? Judging by several of my family members, everyone from Jersey is afraid of those bridges that cross over the Delaware, even the Devil himself so I think you're safe.

Well, I never planned to attend the FYBO campout, because I thought camping in January was just plain stupid. But then I heard there was going to be poporn. So, I figured I could wear long-johns like I do snowboarding, bundle up, have a HUGE fire and we could have Mr. Heater warm up the bus for sleeping. Soooo.... I attempted it... and had a great time!! I was actually never cold (until the last 1/2 of the bus ride home) and it was tons of fun! Movie night was fun - a documentary about an old dude living off the land in Alaska was good - we could still chat and joke together during it. The popcorn was excellent!! And all the candy made it feel just like we were at the theater.
The stew and garlic taters were good... but my favorite was the midnight macaroni! clap2-*
Karen & Heather - you don't have to wait for FYBO2 next year, we'll probably be back at Belleplain in March or April and that may be a better time for you and the family to go. It will still be cool at night, but the days will be warmer. The boys will have a blast, you can join us by the campfire for smores & good times, then go to the cabin to sleep on a nice warm bed.
It's always a good time camping with SJVWCC!! =+grouphu9
