Powderman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Several years ago I was visiting End of Trail when it was in Norco. At that event were several groups exhibiting Cowboy type cooking. i.e. Dutch Oven, BBQ, etc over open fires. There was even a restored original chuckwagon. One of those I talked to said that they had a club that met once a month and had a pot-luck type dinners. They met in the Southern California (LA) area. Anyone have information on this group? Thank You, Powderman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 But don't eat Muley's peach cobbler. If you do you'll be spoiled for any other forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Muley Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Powderman, I'm sorry, but I believe most of the chuck wagons in California faded away with the economy. I sold mine when EoT left and the last event I used it at was 'Shoutout at Deadman's Point. Doing a chuck wagon is very difficult and requires a crew of least 4. Plus, the cost to set-up, maintain, transport, are very high. Another demise of the dream is lack of events and getting any return of $$$ you put out...........$300 to $500 minium per exhibit. I still do some events ("Lost Muley Mine") as a camp cafe.....Dutch oven cooking, Muley's cowboy coffee.......demos and cooking lessons. Last year I was the Chuck Wagon Cook for EoT in New Mexico, good event and met many nice folk, I guess you could call it a working vacation that cost me $1500. Now, the good news is that I do a couple special Lost Muley Mine events at my place for friends (Grumpy Lunch Bunch), you are invited. The food is always good, coffee is hot, and the pards are mostly behaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Muley Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Okay, here it goes and I'm starting to plan. Two events this year minus the chuck wagon, one in the spring and one in the late summer. Doing the full thing, instead of the chuck wagon it will be at the 'The Lost Muley Mine'. I'll be setting up the 'Morning Thunder Coffee' buggy, all outdoor camp cooking, Dutch oven cooking, real cowboy coffee, beans and bisquits, meat, cobblers, tatters, and other. If anyone knows someone that has a chuck wagon, and would like to set up a display, they are invited. These events are non-commercial and non public events, friends and family of the "Grumby Lunch Bunch" are invited. So, if you ever heard of the GLB or would like to, you are invited. New club "The Cowboy Gold Miners"? Just an idea to expand friendship and share ideas. Muley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
