I'll do a costco run for snack stuff. Chips/salsa/queso/dip what else? I'll get some sodas.

edit:// Condiments?

Double edit:// Seeing as it's going to be a bunch of dudes eating BBQ and getting drunk...what's the TP situation like?

*like*

I was thinking I'd bring lots o **** for todd burgers? 25lbs or so of ground beef and associated seasonings?

I only eat Kobe beef

 

[linuxman51]

also to add to the list, fixin's for burgers and dogs:
kraut
relish(the thought)
mustard
cheese
onions (ok just put like 18lbs of onions on the overall list and let it ride lol)
I'll see if I've got some canned jalapenos.

 

[MrBill]

sugar, onions, garlic powder iirc.

brown sugar, but yes

If you wanted to handle ground beef, that'll be great. We'll have a GantBurger/ToddBurger face off.

sounds good to me. 25lbs enough? Too much maybe? That's 50 half pound burgers lol. I'll do it and suffer the consequences.

 

[MrBill]

I will likely be adding a couple more options. Please pick one of these groups and run with it. Nothing here should be more than $25-30 (except for MrBill, and you volunteered for that sucka)

 

[grnmachine02]

I'll cover the cookout essentials

 

[MikeJr.]

Got it. I will be there around Friday lunch, if not before.

 

[propav8r]

I updated the OP with a couple of driving routes for those of you who don't plan on being permanently drunk or in a meat coma all weekend.

 

[Wren]

I'm bringing a big pot of chili, cheese, and chips that will be ready to eat for Thursday Pm or whenever folks are arriving and are hungry.

Also bringing biscuits or makings for them, grits, bacon, and cheese.

I'll get my money's worth in food. Living that guilt-free lifestyle.

 

[RoadRacer4Life]

I know I am gonna get hazed for this but whats the wifi/cell service like? Any at all? Any chance this place has cable? Ya know football in the SEC is a big deal.

[linuxman51]

I'll cover most of the staples. Won't be bringing crisco or tea bags tho (OR WILL I?)

I'm about 95% sure that this place doesn't even have a TV.

Verizon doesn't have any service there. You may occasionally get a blip of voice/text service, but nothing worth mentioning.
AT&T shows coverage on their map up to about the driveway. You might get lucky.
Sprint? Fuhgeddaboudit.

You may actually have luck with a decent TV antenna. There's lots of tall mountains in that area that have TV transmitters on top.

 

[linuxman51]

crazy that vzw doesn't have coverage there

 

[propav8r]

crazy that vzw doesn't have coverage there

You'll understand once you drive out here. I seem to remember having limited service on the other side of the lake (not that the lake's that big, it just might not be in an antenna's shadow), but yeah, it still feels like 1998 out here sometimes.

Also, if you're only going to do one hike in the area, do Mt. Pisgah. It's a short hike (3 miles round trip) with a mild 750' elevation gain. The views at the top, especially at sunset, are awe inspiring. If you started out around 5:30 or 6 from the parking area, you should be up top in plenty of time to watch the sun go down. Return trip would be in the dark though. Not a deal breaker, just something to consider.

Check out the view.

Moore Falls, Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rock, Dill Falls, Turtleback Falls, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil, Bust 'yer Butt Falls, Paradise Falls, and Cullasaja Falls are all in the immediate area and relatively easy to access.

^ I went swimming at the base of Courthouse Falls last month.... Accessible via forest service roads off 215.

Nothing quite like doing the backstroke as you look up at blue sky and puffy clouds through the canopy, water crashing down in front of you. Cold water, but an unforgettable experience.
