Also, I'd like to suggest that we put together a group to go to the Cowboy Dinner Tree on Friday night (or Saturday if that is preferred).  This is south of Silver Lake (where fuel is available 24/7 now!).  It is about 45 minutes south of our typical camp spot.  People come from out of state to eat here and we'd need to reserve our spot a month or two in advance, so this will take a little pre-planning.  I know of at least 5 people that want to do this so I'd say its a go. 
I'd also like to ask Eric if he'd consider changing up the camp location or at least plan to explore the area south of Silver Lake, around Winter Ridge and such... We just did an adventure ride down through there and found a lot of cool places and neat backroads.  Might be cool to explore more in an area that we don't typically go. 

Here's more info on Cowboy Dinner Tree:

Great input Davey! I say yes... Let's plan for the Cowboy Dinner Tree for the Saturday Dinner. I'll do some recon on that camp site and get back to the group. It has been quite awhile since we explored that forest. I remember the LP powered Toyota and the driver/passenger probably more than the area.

-Eric

Thanks to Drew Anderson, we have a confirmed reservation for the Cowboy Dinner Tree on the Saturday for 15 people. This is really a placeholder so  We'll need to get a headcount here as people confirm so we can let the restaurant know how many as the time draws near.

Thanks, Eric

Luke and I will be there again this year! 
The ole 2.3L sport is running great and ready for another adventure! 

That's great! I'm in the midst of getting the Sikekick up to snuff. I'll hopefully be pretty exploring around where Davey and his biker gang   was this summer for places to see next weekend.  Would you like to fly in and ride with me?

Like on a pre-run? 
Airplanes AND Suzukis in the desert?  I like it...

Hey everyone~ 
I was re-reading the Cowboy Dinner Tree website and it sounds like we need to actually place our order when making the reservation.  Since the reservation was made by Drew, I don't know if he placed the order? (I just texted him to find out).  Anyway, please see the website and comment if you're going and what you're eating.  It's basically the steak or a chicken.  And we'll need to specify how many kids as well since it's pricing is basically based on you're age.
So as I mentioned earlier, Mason (10yrs old) and I will be going and both of us are eating steak.

I'm setting up the final Cowboy Dinner Tree party list.  I have 2 in my group, 5 in Greg M's group, 2 in Drew's group, 2 in Matt V's group, Eric, & Kelly.  That's 13.  Bagwell is a maybe.  So we're close to 15 at this point.  I'll be sending this list to Eric and Drew so we can lock it in with CDT, along with the food choices and age/price designations.  If you plan to attend, I suggest contacting me immediately.  Otherwise you can also setup your own reservation in the coming weeks.

Thanks a ton for organizing our new food adventure. We've been talking about this for years.. Now, it is to happen!

Happy to help with it Eric.    We're up to 18 people - gonna be a party!  Drew and I will lock it in with CDT on Monday with the final numbers.  If others want to join in after that, they can make a separate reservation or inquire about joining the big group at that time.

Update on the Cowboy Dinner Tree plan for Saturday night.  They handle children's meals differently than I thought, it's kind of like family style I guess.  So $33 purchases a full adult meal.  Kids  7-13 cost $11, but they share your meal.  So if they want their own meal, it's $33. 
Also, I'm going to request that the dinner reservation get bumped to 7pm to give us more time to explore and get back to CDT.  Dinner lasts around 90 minutes.  Googles say that this location is 33 miles south from Camp Morningwood and drivetime is around 50 minutes.
LASTLY, the dinner is CASH ONLY, so definitely plan ahead and bring cash!
