ACCOMMODATIONS:
INDIAN CREEK LODGE:
Call 530 623 6294
The main accommodations will be at the INDIAN CREEK LODGE on the river. These are new accommodations and I highly recommend them. They have cabins with full kitchens and also some with just microwaves and refrigerators. They also have a couple of rooms for people with pets. See the web site of http://iclodge.net/
YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN RESERVATIONS IN ADVANCE AND PUT TOGETHER YOUR OWN GROUP.
You need to do this ASAP because the lodge books quickly this time of the year.
FOOD:
You are responsible for your own food for breakfast and lunches and dinner on for all days except Saturday night.
Indian Canyon lodge now has a restaurant in the lodge, it serves dinner Wednesday thru Sunday. We are going to have Thursday and Friday Night dinner there. There will be more on this as we get closer to the day. You can review the menus on their website http://iclodge.net/cafe/
Now here is the FUN PART.
Yes------- There will be the Saturday night BBQ party.
So be there’ see below.
Here's how it works: You bring one dish of your choice for the potluck. (see below for options) The club will buy beef tri-tip and chicken for the members who sign up. We will divide the cost and collect Saturday night. When making a dish for sharing the best gauge is make enough for four people. Please adhere to the 4 person dishes as we end up with a lot of waste (we are suppose to be a conservation club). There is in our cabin a new 4 burner electric stove and a large oven for use on Saturday night. This is what we will need for Saturday’s dinner.
A. Hors d'oeuvre
B. Salads (like macaroni, potato etc.)
C. Vegetables whatever is in season
D. Club will do Tri-Tip and Chicken
E. Deserts (cookies etc.)
This will be BYOB for the cocktail hour and your own wine for the BBQ.
Cocktails: will start @ 6:00 pm and dinner at 7:00. My Room
Call me or e-mail me and let me know your plans
This year will be good fishing, and we always have a good time. If you don't come you will hear all the stories and not know if they are true!
