Hey, Jay!

Still wear my Flood City Concours Rally T-shirts.
Sounds like a tempting offer you have here, I may just point the R this way and join you.
Cheers,
Tony
 
I'm tempted to come just for the dump stew because I have a can of alligator that's been in my pantry for some time. Seriously.

Great Eats

If you're coming into our rally from the west and you're hungry you'll want to keep your eye open for this restaurant just east of Donegal. It's about 8 miles from our campout site.

It's a just a wonderful stop! One of the most unique eateries in the area.

I highly recommend a stop. The steamed mussels are out of this world!

The smoked Salmon is also wonderful!

Your wife is correct!
Veggies, beans, tomato anything...................
We've had some weird stuff over the years. Pineapple, corned beef, cocktail onions. Always turns out great.

We'll have the pot brewing when you arrive.

We're expecting a good crowd, with the weather being nice & it's our 10th anniversary!

Campout a Success

Well I'm glad to report that our 10th Annual Campout was a success.

We had 97 paid attendees, perfect weather and the new caterer did a fantastic job with the Roast Beef, BB@ Chicken & fixings!!

And our first attempt at a pancake breakfast was also a huge success thanks to our chef Ken Wagner!

Thanks to all that attended, hope to see you next Fathers Day for out 11th Annual BMW Riders Campout.
