Weather is nice. They can sleep on there boats.

Yea BlackWidow and her crew used to camp, not sure if they are this year or not.

[h2osk8er00]

HA.. yeah it might be a good year to camp but I know BlackWidow is "slumming" it in the Motel last I spoke with 'em.. 15 bucks a day for slips? Man these guys should be paying us to keep our boats out there! Last year the cable from the dock slit my tire... Not to mention the room had a scorpion in it! Still wouldn't trade that place for the world.. so long as there is water when we get there!

[The Black Widow]

Yeah we have camped in previous years and the campsites are close by and really clean. I think there was maybe one other boat there so it is super private. Definitely a good option for those who may want to come last minute and can't get a room. There is a good amount of tree coverage so it doesn't get really hot.

15 days…
So at this point I'm cooking Saturday night for approximately 70 people. I will have 3 stations set up to serve gluten-full pulled pork, beef brisket and chicken and apple sausages. Im brining the pork in pineapple juice, apple cider, bourbon, sweet onions and minced garlic (if anyone is allergic to any of that, please let me know and I'll set aside a kosher salt slab of meat to cook for you). All the pulled meat will be served with King's Hawaiian buns, Costco red potato salad, home made coleslaw(cabbage, sugar and peanuts available on the side) and cowboy beans (baked beans with mild salsa and cheddar cheese melted in). I will need some prep help so anyone that wants to pour me drinks while I cook is more than welcome. I will provide EVERYTHING so no fingers can be pointed. We think it should be no more than $10/head so I'll put a jar at each serving station and make change if you need to.
BRING BEACH CHAIRS!!!!! I have a feeling we'll all be hanging out looking for a place to chill on the gravel if we don't and if John is putting together that damn raffle again, we'll need a common area like the BBQ area or the void between buildings to chill. Music will also be required but preferably all the same music coming from multiple speakers and since I just turn a wrench, someone who is more AV capable should spearhead this. If anyone has a PA system, that would be clutch. A less desirable option would be a bullhorn but…
Any questions or requests, now is the time to ask. PM, on this thread, call me, all of the above. Corvette summers!!!

PA system? Heck, just have John use his boat stereo. Even if he leaves it at the docks we should hear it fine at the motel...

[Wakeman22]

I am working on finalizing my plans for the trip. What days are some of you coming on? Who will be there tuesday wednesday or thursday earlier? The food arrangements have already made me very hungry!

[boatwakes]

We will be there sun up on Thursday. I'm running into Mccarron airport Friday afternoon to pick up my son on a 6:30 arrival if anyone else needs a pickup.

Sorry for the lack of responses the last week plus....I've been on vacation! We will get something setup for music and let Dan be the DJ! Stay posted over the next week to make sure everyone has the latest and GREATEST info! I'm finalizing the shirt order today, if you didn't previously list that you wanted one, sorry, no extras! See you all next weekend!

If anyone needs a bed I have a fishing cabin. The only thing left to rent. There is a spare roll away if someone needs a bed.

If any of you planners or cooks need something I will help out. Just let me know.

See you all next week.
