I was just discussing this with Mary (wife). No way everyone should carry enough for everyone. People should bring enough for 7-10 people. That way we won't have too much food left over and we all won't have to carry that much stuff on the trail.

Perfect.  Look forward to meeting your better 5/8's. 

Also, there are no less than two dozen cool geocaches along the way.

Especially this Earth Cache at the lava tubes (a great GPS reference to find them!):

Lava Tube of The Mojave Cinder Cones

A few Earth Caches inside the Mojave Preserve, and plenty of traditional caches near Laughlin/State Line area, as well as Afton Canyon on the west side.

In theory, if every one just brought twice what they could eat alone, we would have plenty for emergencies and sharing.  Everybody would not get a 20 course meal but it would be one heck of a smorgasbord
I'm with Danny, let's not go crazy with the food.  Maybe some of the group would rather like to make breakfast instead.  This would help spread the labor and still count to the pot luck.  my 2 cents

I don't drink much coffee, but I can tell you from past experience that if anyone can brew coffee in the morning, you will suddenly become the most popular person in the group.  Or you all may want to bring those instant dunking packets for instant coffee.  It's one of those things that when you wake up in the morning you will wish you had thought to bring along.  Trust me, I've seen the desperation first hand.  "Got any coffee, aww...come on man!!!, someone's got to have some coffee!"

Great post Marshann...

I have experienced this first hand.  Arch'sX hooked me up with one of these during the first CANVAZ outing in Sedona, AZ.  It was 19* in the morning, and I was THANKFUL for the warm cup of Joe each day.

Makes great coffee and easy clean up.

Last Mojave, I was sitting around eating hard boiled eggs and beer in the morning.

That's no sh**!  I was there.  But his wife (or anybody for that matter) was not riding inside the truck with him, thank God.

Might not be fancy but I have a power inverter in the truck and can bring a 20cup coffee maker from home. Coffee is essential for me.

Hey if you have a 20cup coffee maker at home..    I can sure see where Coffee is an essential for you .   Do you have Swedish roots by chance.   

I would like to say that between you and me, we probably will have coffee covered in the morning.   I am bringing ONLY a 10 cup coffee maker.

[AZXterra410]

No swedish roots here, just an addiction to coffee.

[RBduffer]

Scandinavians don't make roots.... We pillage (coffee) and move on
