I plan to be there. Has the Rally Point updated since the last meetup or is the attendee list form the last one? Is there a head count on who's coming and how many people they are bringing so people can plan for the potluck? I'll be by myself, anyone who thinks they are coming please post if you're bringing family or other guests so we can plan accordingly. Also an idea of what you want to bring for the potluck. As long as i don't get crazy busy (supposed to start planting onions any day) I was thinking I would bring some type of smoked meat... haven't figured out what kind yet.

@JL Lou , could you set up another RP for the 22nd of February with the updated information, then post the link back here. That way people can rsvp for accurate counts.

Thanks,

Ok everybody, Sorry for the delay but the RP HAS been updated. Looks like the weather will be good till Saturday night so I hope you all have a blast.
There is a lot of space at the Horne Rapids CG. Might be a good idea if somebody has a portible firepit to bring it. If wood is needed for the pit maybe each rig could bring a bundle.
I am bummed that I will not make this one since i am in the great salty state of Michigan. I mean, there is so much snow and salt all thats needed is Tequila.
I would be cool if you all took some pictures and posted them here after as well.

Here is the forcast....

I have a line on a propane fire pit I can bring if we don't want to bother with wood. My friend I built it for still hasn't paid me so I steal it back any time I need one, it's been a couple years so I don't think he really plans on paying me at this point...

I am 90% going to be there with the family and can definitely bring wood. I always have plenty of wood to burn. We are going to bring our 4 runner this time and if all goes according to plan it will be freshly lifted the day before

I think doing the propane pit will keep it simple so we don't have to bother with wood or deal with the ashes once we're done. I'll try to figure out my meat of choice tomorrow so people can plan any sides they might want to bring to go along with it. Sounds like this should shape up to be a good time! Anyone planning to stay the night since we'll already be at a camp ground? I thought about it but I have plans for later that evening.

Quick question on our meet up location... Has anyone been out there to know the layout and where we want to setup shop? I have only seen pictures and looked at a sat view. Looks like when you enter the park to the right past the campground there is a large open gravel horse camp/ staging area. This would allow us to park rigs and setup however we want as long as it isn't busy, not sure on the bathroom situation over there. And to the left when you enter the park going towards the boat launch it looks like there is a day use area with a lined parking lot, and what appears to be a bathroom and maybe a gazebo, lots of grass as well. Again not sure if the bathrooms would even be open this time of year. Any thoughts from the group as to how and where we want to setup? @JL Lou, not trying to throw you under the bus but since you're pretty close, any chance you might have time to cruise out there this week and do a little recon for us? Unless someone has been there and has some advice they want to post up...

I'll try to get a hold of them to see if it's open or if they can unlock it for us. Is that a gazebo next to the bathrooms in the day use space?

Yeah it's like an informational hut. Not sure how useful it would be.
