Id love to attend, but again, it depends on my girls. If I can make it, I can supply propane for the grill.

Now that I have a 4x4 running around again, I should try to make this one.  I'd be there later in the day, but I'll figure out something to bring for a late snack or something.

That sounds perfect, since whatever I bring will have to be in a cooler.  Done!  Cool

 

I'll see if I can bring up some brats from Cincinnati, OH.  Those are goooooood eatin'!

Still don't know if we can make it yet…. If we do we will be on our Harleys, so we'll be bringing some sort of finger food.

I'm off Saturday, so I will be making this one. I can bring a couple of apple pies.

 

BTW, are we allowed to bring alcohol? I can remember if we did last year?

Yes.  You just can't drink in the roadway like we once did back in the day.

 

On a side note;

I shared a few stories regarding Busse Woods back in the late 70's with members of this club last year.  To make long stories short, the place was cleaned up after it got out of control when the (then) head of the Cook County Forest Preserve warned it's residents to keep your families out of there until he could clean it up.  Today Busse Woods is considered "family friendly".  That first Grove west of Arlington Heights road on the soutside was legendary and some of the things that happened there would shock you – and maybe scare a few of you too.   But I digress.

This will be my first time going to one of these events. I can bring a pie or two or something if needed. Is there anything I need to know beforehand? 

 

Thanks!

A side note from FacePlant regarding the confusion on the "Grove / spot number"….. The club does have hand held CB's now so IF you have a CB in your rig and you are lost, just try channel 22 for directions.  That is assuming one or more of the Kick booty Moderators will have the hand helds..handy.

We'll be there…hey for some reason, the site for bringing stuff lists me twice for salad. I only submitted for that section.
Is there a way to remove my duplicate entry?

Ok, I just got the green light so, since I work in the propane industry, I will be bringing a tank to burn.

Cool Carl!  I have the standard ACME connector or whatever the hell it is called.   Glad you can bring some since I am running low, one less thing to do in the AM.

Doug, if you have exchanged your tank recently, it should be an OPD valve. Does it have threads on the outside and the inside? How old is the grill?

Since it appears that a member has left the club, we will also bring a 24 case of beer (Coor's Light) to make up for theirs and our portable gazebo for some shade.

See ya all in a few hours. Gonna be a HOT one! Cool
