Ok, probably be the most memorable moment on the Chuck Wagon happened on Day 2. Somehow we managed to get Michaele (Conrad) and Kristen (Lila) on the van as well in effort to get dinner started early. Wellllll.... we made wrong turn out on the peninsula, got lost and ended up at Camp Coleman of all places. So... we had no map, no GPS and limited cell phone connectivity. In front of us were three signs:
1. Camp Coleman
2. Joemma Park - pronounced by Kristen as "Joe Mama"
3. Almost Home Kennel (with a phone #) - Reading this sign made us all want to cry
So we decided to call the Kennel. Here's Dave's conversation with the nice owner:
Anyway..realllllll lonnnng story short, by the time we un-Lost ourselves the bus was already past us and so now we had to devise a way to keep dinner on time. So we called ahead to Jay Berry's Pizza in North Bend and ordered 10 pizzas. Luckily Anthony (Isabella) and Money-man Paul (Shira) were in a separate car ahead of us and were able to pick up the pizzas. In the meantime, we nearly arrived to the camp the same time the bus did. The Chuck wagon folks then scurried to get a salad pulled together with fresh greens from Sunny Farms Market in Sequim.
Great Pizza, great pizza loving kids... and the gracious flexibility and understanding saved the day. Note to self: Bring your GPS next time.
i was wondering about that....you should have taken mine....robin
