If you all find the d.o.g.s (dutch oven gatherings) to be your thing, you can go more frequently or join a chapter. You don't have to belong to a chapter but it's a great way to make connections with other cast iron chefs who camp.
Here's where you can look up a chapter close to you.

It's a great excuse to go rving, cook and eat, or all of the above.:W

Well I think I'll have to plan on being there. It should be great around that area in mid October.

Dutch Oven members are a great group to gather with.

That looks like a great way to spend a weekend!

Looks like this would be an interesting gathering. I love Dutch oven cooking. I'll see how things go, I just may attend this. Is this in Arkansas every year?
