I looked at the sign up sheet
Is Cajun Racer making jambalaya? I might bring some shrimp to toss in pot—-if you wanted extra shrimp. And maybe some potato salad or mashed potatoes.
If there is something you would like for me to bring for Saturday’s Jambalaya supper, let me know, then I might be able to get it.
Thanks, Mooseman,

PG ; Yes Cajun Racer is aka(Barry) and doing Gumbo Fri and Kevin is doing Jambalaya Fri. I'm sure they could use shrimp or if not we could grill it on some skewers with some Old Bay. Yum! Also Mark Holden is doing his Jambalaya on Sat so we should be good on Cajun flavor.

Shrimp and Eggs? Never tried that combo lol Something new, you never know!

Let the May-Lay (Melee) Begin!

I am soooo tempted to attend this but between my car appointment Saturday and Mother's Day on Sunday, I am afraid I will have to pass. I know you will have a great weekend. Looking forward to the trip report since that is somewhere I haven't been.

Starfish Comet until then we will be hanging around

We had a great time hammocking with y’all. The food was out of this world—-kudos to Mark—pulled pork, Mike—-real fried chicken, Paul—-flame smoked chicken, and Cajun Racer———
Jambalaya. Their generosity, outdoor cooking skills and camaraderie made the day for all.
We got to see top of the line new hammocks by vendors Sierra Madre Research, DreamHammocks, Dutchwaregear, Warbonnet and other’s as well as DIY.
Pickle saved our chow from a middle of night invasion of raccoons; and provided great campfire entertainment along with Red Rum and his fantastic dog.
Thank you, thank you, to you all.
Next time I’ll send a hologram of myself on six mile hike—-so that I can keep up with CoffeeGirl.
Three miles kicked my butt, with full recovery in the hammock.
Got to see demo by Pickle of set up and try out of Tentstile flying tent. Sorry if I used wrong terms.

It is always nice to see old friends and make new ones. I enjoyed visiting yesterday. Today we went to Morrow MTN park and picnicked at the quarry picnic ground. Even hung a couple of hammocks for lollygagging.

May-Lay 2018!is in the books.

Wonderful weather, great people and super food. Oh and the hammock setups were cool too! Lol

Started a trip report here > https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ay-Hang-by-TSH

I need a few pics to post as Gunner the trip photographer was not present and we had no Lab reports from Sam.

Not to replay or repeat the report post but it really was a great time, good park and wonderful people! Feel free to post on the report page any activities, events and pics of any interest pertaining to our May-Lay! Enjoy.....
