It looks like Uncle Bill will be able to make it. I have to take my son to water polo from 8-2 so I don't think I will be make it.

Have fun guys!

May the spicy apple juice flow in celebration!
 
It will be just me - Cooper is coming up in my truck since we live fairly close to each other.

I'll bring something - not sure what yet, but I guess I'll have to decide by tomorrow!

Hey mqqn, I bet I'm not by myself, if you brought your famous Poppers, that would make me happy! But, you know we'll all eat whatever is put in front of us! LOL!

See ya tomorrow,

Please take a lot of pics. It's not as good as being there but it sure helps.
 
I had to make my cajun succotash - I used the Drift Creek smoked salt and pepper - it turned out the best I can remember!

Just put it in the fridge - it'll be better tomorrow after it sits all night.

Going to bed now - Mack - I'll take a couple pictures for you sir!

My sister and Jake won't be able to make it but Jennifer and I are still coming. I got roped into working a couple of hours this morning. Planning on being there about 1 ish. See you guys soon!
 
I have posted my pictures of the Gathering here :

It was a gorgeous day in McKinley Woods - and nobody got pulled over for the heinous crime of doing 15 mph up or down the hill!

Man it's hard to drive at 10mph!!!

I was up late last night making my cajun succotash - this time I used the Drift Creek Gourmet Cape Perpetua pepper and Cape Foulweather Sea salt - the extra smoky flavor was a welcome addition and it came out very good - at least I did not bring any home with me!

Here is the sign leading into the park -

From here it is a 15 minute drive to go the 1/4 mile to the shelter while driving at 10mph (just kidding - I am such a whiner).

The beautiful Shelter - very nice work by the CCC.

As usual, there were a lot of knives on tables at the gathering -

Somebody was complaining that I am never in the pictures, so here.

I brought a genuine, Made in USA, Strider Folder at the Gathering. I know it was genuine and made in USA, because the box said so. Ask anyone.

To win the genuine made in usa Strider, you had to throw a frisbee, closest to the target (a large rock) won the knife! Congrats to Uncle Bill, who can now have a Genuine Made in USA Strider to go with his Chitanium Chebenza!

(please note - I know this is not a real Strider knife - please, no hate mail....)

Even the girls had a chance to win the beautiful GMiUSA Strider!

At the end of the day, everyone piled into their cars for the drive home - looks like Alien dog perked up a little.
