I will grab some pallet wood if available and will bring some from home - arriving Friday evening. (prob be enough for 4-5 hours.. or 20 minutes in Whet Newdel fires).
Have no problem running back out on Saturday if need be to Firewood Brian's if he knows we coming.

Just spoke to Mr. Firewood Brian and he's expecting me sometime midday Friday.

I was pondering on how to coordinate group tacos. Frankly I'm not sure how to do it in way that everyone who wants a taco gets a taco other than leaving it up to everyone to bring their own fix'ns and we can enjoy them together.

Any better ideas?

something to Consider - I don't mind supplying shredded lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream for group instead of everyone bringing their own.
will bring refried beans rather than my original dish as well.

Turns out spending last weekend in a hot tent may have consumed our "sleeping" outside time for January. Sorry to be missing the gathering. Will definitely see you in the spring because H got us tickets to the Canoe Emporium.

Anyone have a big-*** tarp and enough cordage to put a fly over the firepit area? Looks like we are in for some wet weather Friday and Saturday, then things will freeze up overnight into Sunday.

I was thinking the same thing. Nobody should feel obliged to bring enough to feed the group, but it seems that we always end up with way too much food anyway, so I think we'll be fine if we just do our usual ad hoc sharing. I'll bring my usual roasted slab bacon, plus probably an extra sous vide pork belly I want to try searing over the fire. I'll also have a dozen large tortilla wraps if anyone wants to roll their own burrito using whatever fillings are available. Now that I think about it, I have a couple pounds of basa fillets in the freezer. I'll pre-cook them at home and we can use those for fish tacos. If @Niagara brings the garnishes, the rest of us can supply the protein.

I have one that might by 15 x 20?? will bring a few but not showing up till suppertime-ish after work.
Will also be bringing a propane stove and 20# tank - a little unorthodox maybe for an EGL hang considering our fires however options is good thing sometimes.

For chow I'm planning on bringing some taco shells, flour tortillas, turkey taco fixings, chipotle lime salsa, sour cream, couple bags of taco cheese and sprouts. For the smoker was looking to bring a 2 lb lamb loin roast.
I've got a Kelty 14 somewhere.

For chow I'm bringing a dozen taco shells, a dozen tortillas, ground beef taco fixings, hot salsa, a bag of taco cheese and a couple of cans of refried beans. Lettuce, tomatoes courtesy of Niagara for which I'll bring a bottle of Caesar salad dressing if there's extra. Whatever doesn't get eaten is Saturday lunch!

Of course I'll bring my trusty big white and blue tarp.

Sorry but won't be able to make it. Part of me wishes I was back in the day of coaching weak basketball teams when one tournament per year was enough.

Have fun even though the weather will make a gearing up for spring event.
