Breakfast: pancakes, eggs, bacon, cereal and etc...

Lunch: Sandwiches, deli meats, soups, crackers...

Dinner: A spaghetti feed will be provided the first night by the Panza's & Hittles at site #28, but you can provide other meals for yourself or to share at a potluck. The kids will love roasting hot dogs.                                                                                     Last updated 2/2/05
