I suppose this is more of a general discussion but still for camping.
Here is what I propose:
First of all we should all thank our lucky stars for the Lindleys and Palmers for providing that awesome big truck that helped us all get our stuff home. It made things pretty easy and pretty nifty.
Second, I was really hoping that we could all go in on a truck like that. It would be the responsibility of the driver to get up there and back with our stuff, but it would be the responsibility of clan members to bring your stuff to, and afterwards pick your stuff up from the truck. This means that the truck will not make stops to your house to get your things or bring them back to you. It would be your job to do that on your own and at the same time everyone helps to load and unload as best they can. This allows us to bring more things to war without regard to space, less vehicles, and therefore less gas.
Each household within our Clan (George and Sandy, The Lindleys, The Palmers, The Michlowitz, Rick, The Badgetts) would all provide an equal amount of money towards the rental to be paid up front to the driver. If there is anything left over, it can be split back up between those that gave. If there is more that needs to be paid, it is paid right away to the driver of the truck.
Does this sound like a good idea? No more hauling trailers up hills that are too heavy. No more of having to scrafice bringing stuff to camp because it doesn't fit. I have seen other houses do this, and they seem to do it successfully. Now, I realize that some people have a lot of personal stuff that they bring and have a system, and that's fine, no big deal. You only have to go in on the truck if you are using the truck.
Thoughts?
