Lord, I wish. I'll be taking "Use or Lose" for this one, so I hope to have facial hair for the event. - Love the idea, though!

"Well now it's on." - No pressure, Pig... just don't F-it-up....

.

No specific timeline that I've seen, so I'm still aiming for mid-late Sept until Pig & Co. can narrow down good spots for us.

Best regards,
Shadow / Marc

I will be there, so if any of you guys or gals go, find me and maybe we can put our heads together and make this happen.

Off of I-40 going South has a lot of nice country. Might be a little cool for the fall but, it sure was nice in late Spring and Summer (Fall was always busy for me).

Any movement?

CINCHOUSE and I are trying to work leave and the calendar for September.

Give us a hollar as able. Would love to help make this happen.

Shadow, right now I am just praying for rain so this can happen. Bluewater Lake State Park is about 30 minutes west of Grants, NM. It has a large group site that has water and power. “Group shelter #1 is adjacent to lower electric loop but not part of the loop itself. This shelter has water and electricity at the location and has plenty of parking for vehicles as well as limited parking for campers and RVs”. I am thinking of the weekend of September 14-16. With the Bash happening on the 15 of September. Grants will have the nearest hotels and the nearest airport will be Albuquerque (about an 1hr 20mins from Bluewater). Here is the catch…we need rain or they will not lift the fire restrictions and the SW Bash may not happen. I was going to try and take a drive out there this coming Sunday and take some pictures of the group site and post them. (Might as well go fishing while I’m there.) I am also looking in the Albuquerque area for a decent place to have the bash.

Yes to that. It's hot and dry as hell out this way.

ShadowDriver · 06-05-2018, 08:34 PM

Amen to the rain bit!

Let me know how I can help, if at all.

I like the timing, and it's going on the family (and squadron) calendar with haste!

Thanks, Carl.

Just need Mother Nature to cooperate.

Unfortunately, I was not able to make it out to Bluewater Lake this weekend. I had a catering gig on Saturday night and spent Sunday doing chores. I'll be at comps the nrxt 2 weekends. End of June looks promising to do a recon. I realize that time is getting close. I'm trying to get this rolling, but life keeps getting in the way.

ShadowDriver · 06-30-2018, 05:49 PM

Bumpitty Bump!

This is still on the books with fingers crossed for some rain and cooler temps in Sept.

As soon as we can pry Carl away from competition cooking, we'll get a link out to the planning spreadsheet (it'll look amazingly similar to last year's TX Bash spreadsheet) to get our collective act together and have a grand time.

More to follow.

I am a newb here, but I'm an Arizona newb so a SW get together sounds good to me. If I can help, let me know. If a location requires some scouting in Arizona, I can go take a look.
