Fourth Annual Bob Johnson Camp & Fly

Another big party for the Oahu flying monkeys: we will be hosting the Fourth Annual Bob Johnson Birthday Party and Flying Festival from May 3 to May 5, at Kahana Bay. In celebration of Bob's life, we are hereby inviting all pilots and friends to join us for our fourth year of birthday flying festivities.

We will be camping at Kahana from Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5. We are getting more organized every year and the crowds are getting bigger. This will be an all family weekend - we will have kayaks, surfboards, boogie boards, bocce balls and many other activities for both pilots and non-fliers. Everyone is encouraged to come and join the fun during the weekend!

Here is the schedule, weather permitting:

April 2, 2013 at mid night.  We will need 10 people to log on to the State Camping Permit Site to reserve sites 1-10.  Sites 4,5,6 will be priorty so we can set up the main kitchen tent/head quarters.  As people comment as to which they will try for it will be added to the list below to fill your site with 10 names we figure out before the call in day and can be chirped in on the comment section.

Saturday Menu change.

Seeing as it is Cinco De Mayo going for a mexican theme.

I just may have to make a 5 gallon cuket of Margaritas.

sandy said...

I can go for 2 or whatever you think is best ...
Thom -- can you really make 5 gallon? John makes a really good Texas Margarita too (maybe too good)

Thom said...

Thanks Sandy I added your name in on #2. We Will chirp tonite at midnight. You can put 10 adults on your sites. You do not need their license number or any thing and apply for the max parking permits too. You can even make up names no one really ever checks. But having the parking passes printed up just in case is good. Although I have never even posted either the parking or camping permit and have never been asked for one. The managment likes us, Ginny has a buddy on the staff and we have so far been clean and respectvul of th e area so they don't bother us. Reaper's Wedding was the biggest event we had there and we had no problems. We just need to reserve the sites.
Thanks everyone for your help still need 8,9, 10

All,
For Bob's:
Friday night meal--Duck and Ginny are Bringing Italian. Everyone else BYO, but we'll have a start with some pasta and meatballs and fresh bread!

Saturday Lunch--Ginny and Ces are doing chilli dogs (chilli and hot dogs). The foodtruck will not be there, so if you want something other than chilli dogs...BYO.

Saturday Dinner--Mexican! Duck is bringing Peruvian Chicken...not sure who else is bringing what (please post a comment to further identify what will be there).

More to follow! But please post comments if you are bringing anything.
