  if we DO end up choosing Spongs Landing, i will book it immediately. i just went to check it out, and the covered area available has 4 picnic tables, a double sink, free electricity, permanent restrooms, drinking fountain, LOTS of empty mowed fields, a (crappy) horseshoe pit, kids playground, 100 yds from the river and is dog friendly. roughly 4mi off I5, or 2.5mi from my shop.
  and i will host a poker/movie/gaming party, (not NEARLY as cool as the "BEST DAY EVER PT I/II", but kind of, almost close, in a different kind of way, sort of fun ), at my house or shop afterward. and there is plenty of room to crash on my couches, spare rooms etc if needed...........old tony kenobi

We have a date and now we have a location thanks to Old Tony Kenobi. Spongs Landing.

I'm working that day so I'm out.

    I'm going to be at a wedding that day, sorry I can't make this.  Will

[Hoot]

This is just over two weeks away, is it really wise to burn a week with voting, in lieu of pursuing a lock for a location?

If I am able to make it, I can bring potato and mac salad.

Bill,

Need a ride? Baring (Sp?) my boss not accepting my request, to take the day off, I can help give you a ride.

 we have 6 picnic tables (5 in the covered area), a bbq pit with a metal grill (David volunteered to grill), 2 fire pits, a kitchen/sink/clean up area, power outlets and a drinking fountain and kids playground. there are some trails, and easy river access, some people swim there. i would encourage everyone to bring extra chairs. its a dog friendly park with huge open fields for frisbee, football and even hitting/driving golf balls (it is pretty secluded and unused except for the river area, even though is very close to town). and i am going to dig a new horseshoe pit . i will also post some markers to follow. i reserved it from 10:00 am-sunset (9:00ish).
  in the following map, we are right in the clump of trees in the middle.
