In the N. Am. case Sacagawea was added to the expedition at the request of her husband.

No, unrequited love there. But you guys should try persuading Camp Chef to make lids suited to Aussie pioneering events.

The indian gal was: Sacagawea, (pronounced Sa-ka-ga-wea) . She is acknowledged to have contributed significantly to the expedition.

If I recall correctly she was able to translate for the expedition as well as the natives that they encountered did not just start shooting because "this large group of well armed white men has a woman and child with them, so they are not a war party"

In Service,

LK, do you really think Camp Chef would make up a special casting for a very small market ?? I suppose you never know unless you ask.
I rang Anaconda in Sydney yesterday, they have the Lewis and Clark ovens..... looks like a small trip coming up.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Get all the outfits that come up with special 'tourist attracting festivals', ie. Millmerran, etc. together to ask for a or two suitable 'events' lids.

After all Camp Chef makes ovens for Cabellas, Sportmans Warehouse. Lodge did a special oven for Japan (JDOS).

You don't get until you ask........

After numerous emails I received this reply from Anaconda Logan today

"Hi Kev

The postage will be $5.95 per item

The price of the camp chef 12” is $89.95 and the set is $99.95.

Total price is $201.80

Payment can be made my credit card with any of our friendly staff.

Thanks

Think I will go with this deal with the postage is so cheap and the saving on the set offsets the 12" price.
Aart quoted freight to Rocky at $45.00 so $11.90 to Mackay 400k north is cheap.
I must add that a couple of stores replied either by email or phone to say that they had the 12" but not with a canoe lid, good service me thinks.

Hey Kev

Thats a good price as a package mate.
That postage is very cheap.
They must have an average price per item and then suffer any excess rates that happen to occur.

Yes Aart, it would cost more than $5.95 to buy a CD postpack and post it to there.
Haven't ordered yet as no management approval forthcoming.

We were very pleased with their postage service. As I had two large boxes, the girl I spoke with checked it all out and came back to me with that it would have to come seperately but she would reduce the postage (registered) to $10 for the two. I think I ordered on the Thursday and they arrived Monday arvo by the po.
