Looking forward to my first FF pigroast.
So, lets see, Sparks has the count with him at 52, gspren and Petefrom bearswamp have put up their hands, so that makes it 54, and so Teea and I bring the count up to 56.

Our first too.
Couple of questions for Jeff
Are adult beverages allowed if consumed in moderation?
Do you need help setting up as I am retarded er retired and can get there a day early.
Can we bring anything in the food or supplies category?

   Another question for Jeff, can you recommend a doggy daycare in the area? The last times we came to the PR Ginger did fine in the RV all day long but this year she will be 14 years old and just can't hold it like she did when younger, I know the feeling myself.

Adult beverages are allowed, but not to be flaunted or consumed in anyway other than a responsible way. This is a family event but even your host likes a beer now and again. Friday evening, or Saturday evening around the bonfire there is typically a few consumed. :)

If there are any close, I don't have any idea or recommendations as its not something we have ever utilized. The only one I know of is between Coleman and Clare, about 30 minutes from here and I would recommend them as we have Icey groomed there.

  Jeff, For the dog care I did a Google search and came up with Dan's Royal Pet Grooming at 3370 N. Clare Ave., Harrison, MI. I assume that's close. On Monday I'll call and see if they do a daytime boarding on that Saturday. If you know anyone to ask fine otherwise I'll check them out. Getting anxious, I think that pig injected with Blue Creeper helped my knee. :D

A very generous offer but I assure you that I can easily afford the boarding. I had briefly considered boarding her in PA for the whole trip but we've traveled all over the country with her for 14 years and I just don't want to leave her for more than the day.

Since Gary declined your offer, and if it is still open, I would like to accept it.  But I would opt for a "Wife Daycare" facility such as a nearby Factory Store Outlet Mall.  A couple of days would be OK, and to expedite payment you could just send a valid credit card.   ;D  :D :D

I am a strong maybe. I would make it a motorcycle trip and it would depend on the weather. The pig roast is 524 miles which makes for a nice ride but not in the rain.

Diane and I rode 600 miles in the rain in one day to go to a funeral. Not a good day all the way around.

Diane, BTW, is still undecided but my buddy Gerald and brother Chris and I are riding our Geezer Glides in.

@Dan_Shade and I did it last year from VA & MD eastern shore.  Over half the trip in monsoon type rain.
Been there, done that.   Never got caught [/b]

     I did it last year from Florida; no problem.  This year I'm taking the truck, but that's for unrelated reasons.  (I can't carry a canoe on the bike.)
