Thanks Derek!!!
(He let me sneak in from the other side of the world...)
You guys got it goin' on!!!
Awesome website, forum and those videos!!!

I'm located on the coast in the "real" Northern California... Eureka, CA
(No offense to my neighbors south of me, but S.F. is NOT Northern California... Heck, it's right in the central part of the state)
This area of the state is somewhat remote and full of the world's tallest trees... The Pacific Coast Redwoods.
My wife and I are into teardrop trailers and camp oven cooking.
She says she's gonna take me to Australia when she retires. (Been saying three years for two years now...)
Really looking forward to meeting you guys in person someday soon!!!

G'Day Fogcrawler from the land of real ".ca".

Yeah, I know y'all use CA for a state abbreviation, but we're not only a country, we have the privilege of ".ca" domain names.

You may recognize my name from IDOS and my namesake avatar.

I too have plans to head to Oz, courtesy of Airmiles and have goodies stashed and waiting for me to get there - a COM, a Billmans oven............. I've been reading and participating here for quite a awhile now.

First up we welcome people from all over, everyone brings their way of doing what we all love and as long as you add photos Cheesy

your accepted. Australians would never be critical of what initials you use for where you live. We joke and tease each other about our different states but I guess only having 5 we dont always mention it and most live in towns that the others know where they are.

I hope you allow plenty of time when you do get to visit, most of our attractions are very spread out. I have only been north in California as far as SF so I wouldnt have made it to your area. But I loved going up the coast from LA...........well except for the curves and seemly being on the wrong side of the road Cheesy

My experiences with my Californian cousins is that the men simply love Australia and our way of life but the females are just a bit picky about things not being exactly the same as home. As your wife is a camper she should find it fine.

I am in Sydney and most find it a pretty city along the Harbourside and I hate to say this but if time is a problem I would skip it and head for Queensland.

I am sure we will all be interested to hear of your plans when you get here and share a meal around a campfire if its possible.

Carolyn,
Well... I'm good to go then, 'cause Derek shared some of my pics for me before I got on board.
I really enjoy doing big prime ribs in the ovens... Using my Cabela's 20"er most of the time. I also have a Maca 22"er, but not nearly the budget to use it very often. (LOL)
I'm currently working on a new pastry recipe and will share pics when I get things dialed in...
BTW- I saw your post about the Raspberry Cream Cheese Bread... YAAHHHHH!!!

George you know you have to allow for my senior moments and one room school education Cheesy

Sorry Dean wouldnt want to lead you astray especially since you were so nice about my raspberry cream cheese bread. Also the fact you can manage 20" & 22" ovens is very impressive but letting slip you cant afford to fill the 22" is a worry. Wink

I did what most oldies do and googled and your right George:
