Hey Brethren,

Hit the road for our first of hopefully many trips to "The Jack" yesterday. I will be posting as much as possible in my blog to give updates from the road from our rookie team experiencing the event for the first time.

Hope to meet some of you there!

Final blog from our trip to the Jack has been posted. It's kind of long, as I tend to be a real windbag! Pictures are also posted at our web site under pics. More pics will be added in the coming days.

We did get a ribbon for 10th place dessert, but no jugs. Had an incredible time.

Great blog, Ted! You all have so much to be proud of this year. And congrats on the desert!

Ted,

Thanks for sharing your experience. You have had quite an adventure! I'm not a dessert person but it sure looks good!

Yours in BBQ,

Cliff
