That's a nice pile of logs that you have there!

In case that you can't find the address for the GTG here it is...... I will be going back Wednesday afternoon to put out the signs helping to giude you to the site. The signs will have "GTG" with arrows pointing the way.

Simple directions if you are coming in on I-99 you will get off at the Pinecroft exit (can't remember the exit number). Travel through the light till you hit the stop sign at the tee, you will turn left, after you cross the bridge you will go around the bend and make the first right there will be a GTG sign there with an arrow ( if you pass the firehall you went to far), when you come to the next sign keep going straight, the next sign will be a little ways up the road then you'll turn right on to the dirt road. The next sign is for anyone bringing a camper otherwise continueon the road and past the clubhouse.

Anyone that needs stuff refrigerated can stop by the outdoor kitchen and put there food in the coolers (convenience stop coolers) there should be plenty of room.

Just made up 3 quarts if sauce for the supper on Saturday.
1 quart of Memphis BBQ
1 quart of Apple BBQ
1 quart of mild ranch wing sauce

Didn't make it up yet but I am going to be making up some campfire sauce. That's good for topping burgers or dogs with.

I hope this will be enough sauces for the food that we have!

Not sure how it's gonna look for any BIG fires due to it being EXTREMELY dry here. We haven't had rain for 3 weeks and we have red flag warnings for fires. I am sure a camp fire wouldn't be an issue but I'd have to talk to the caretakers from the club.

Got the last 2 photos ready to go !!

Starting a wildfire probably wouldn't be a good look for the group lol.

Anyone coming to the GTG please check into the main clubhouse with Rick and Sarah to let them know that you are there. Thank you.

Also the road has been smoothed out nicely for the campers. I have the sign with an arrow on tol of a pile of shale. The sign wasn't big enough to fit the whole word on there but I am sure that you'll get the idea.
