I’ve got the small Blackstone that’ll work on a picnic table. 

If you'll bring it, I'll marinate some backstrap medallions and they'll cook in no time when folks are ready. What say?

Sounds good to me.

Well it sucks, and I'm very sorry, but I can't make it. Just spent three days on the Jacks Fork and I have to take the lady of the house to the beach on the 21st.

I hope you guys have a great time.

You just reminded me of an old joke.  I'll put it in the humor thread.

Alright, let's get this nailed down:

Are we meeting at Y Bridge Park in Galena, around 1:00?

What's the head count?

What's on the menu? Backstrap medallions & ?? Hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, chips, beans, condiments?? 

I'm happy to chip in wherever.

Head count, arrival times, and a meal plan. I usually do a Friday or Saturday night for 20 while primitive camping on a gravel bar in January. Your  meal plan should include the gear you intend to cook it with so you know it is there. It helps to have a big stock pot, a couple of campfire grills, full size two burner propane stove, big skillet, a couple chef knives v pocket knives, cutting boards, and some portable tables, a couple dutch ovens. Pre cook and vac pack what you can so it wont get soggy in a cooler. Have a great time guys! Wish I could make it, but I have another commitment.

This isn't an overnighter -- just several guys floating and then them, and a few non-floaters, meeting up for a quick gathering afterward around Galena. 

I'm going to drive down Friday evening, stay overnight and wade fish in the area Saturday morning. Then I'll head over to the meeting place. I plan to head home Saturday evening.

I plan on going, I'll just be there for the eats.  I'll bring my small grill, charcoal and lighter.  I will also volunteer to bring cups, napkins, plates, and plastic utensils.  I'll try and remember to throw a case of water in there too.

Who is bringing the Vienny sausages?  😃

Well, it's a hamburger/backstrap/hot dogs quickie at the takeout.  So probably no stockpots or propane grills.  But I bet we do not starve....

It's not that big of a show, I think we will be doing good to have 10 people, 1/2 of which aren't floating, but I think it will be fun.

Thank you though maybe next time
