Located in Willow Springs, on the west side of Wentworth Avenue east of Archer Avenue, Columbia Woods has one picnic grove. Popular for picnics, this preserve has a canoe landing and access to the four-mile unpaved Yellow trail and more than 9 miles of Red and Black paved trail, part of the Centennial and I & M Canal Trail System. Alcohol is allowed in this preserve.

I have booked the shelter for all day (7am to 7pm) but feel free to come whenever you are available!

Please reply in this thread if you are able to make it and how many people, and if you can bring a grill or smoker.

If you want to make a dish to share, please post what it is so we don't have too much of the same.

Please spread the word! The only thing I ask is that they are either members of the BBQ Brethren forum or be guests of a member!

You've figured me out :twisted: I'm going to keep this up until you and Red get your butts up here for one of our gatherings!

Or is that "get all y'all's butts up here"? :becky:

I have no ida what boyrbon is but it sounds good. So does the Low Country Boil!

Any time we plan a get together (usually January and summer) the info is posted in this forum, so check here.

Once you get you vacation dates worked out please post back in this thread if you can make it to this gathering.

Besides posting in that thread and here you can send PMs to folks who may be interested. That's what I do to let local folks know about our gatherings
