Getting cleaned up and tending to the GF. Glad to have met you all that made it out; looking forward to meeting the rest this spring at the Hoosier Hang.

Ok,... Here is the plan I'm working with for the soup, erhm stew or whatever...

Diced Green pepper
Diced Onion
Minced Garlic
Navy beans
Blackeyed Peas
Chicken stock
various spices
Olive oil

I'm sure there will be plenty of deadwood (great series) around the area. Be forewarned that it is going to rain here wed - thurs. I just thought some dry seasoned wood might be nice to kick things...

It's looking like the GF and I will make it just before dark on thursaday, weather permitting. I didn't get the firewoods squared away but will grab a few bundles at a gas station on the way so there...

How close do we need to be?

While I would prefer to filter from a running water source, did I hear mention of a stream, I'd probably pick the pond over lake Monroe. The lake has alot of motorized...

Jerry,

From the sound of it you have changed the official gathering location from the original GPS cords. If that is correct can you repost them?

From G-maps it would appear to be about 1 mile down a fire access road (I refuse to call it a trail) and about .5-1 mile down actual trail; depending on where you decide to set-up. Topo looks like...

My Weather channel app is saying highs in the mid 50's & lows in the mid 30's. Of course this is Indiana and that can change tomorrow.

My girlfriend has decided she wants to join us. So, I'm...

It's about 3Gal, the stew pot. I was planning to bring veggies too...

I was thinking I'd bring carrots, celery, shallots (in place of onion & garlic), peas, quinoa (instead of rice; if I can...

Well, I'm still planning to bring SOME firewood in with me and my stew pot. The pig was Lisa's thing so we'll have to see what she's gonna do. I can always make chicken noodle soup instead; I'm...

I plan to bring:
A 3gal stew pot & plenty of potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, garlic & pork stock. For one hellava veggy stew.

2 mini kegs of beer, New Castle & Heiniken

A strong healthy...

This still has me confused. You mean the trailsname is "Axson Rd."? Why does it appear on maps as a road if it's not open the vehichle traffic? Was it ever used as or intended to be a road?

I'll be coming into Bloomington on SR46w from Nashville, IN

turn right onto 446s (Knightridge Rd) at the first light.
About 5 miles past the causway,
Turn left onto Tower Ridge Rd.
Turn left...

I just pulled this from the Farmer's Almanac website. It's not alway 100% accurate, but has generally been a good guidline for me in the past.
So, for those coming be prapared for cold, wet...

Damnit Man!

Here I was thinking,
"Cemetary, awesome maybe we'll see some orbs or something classifiable as paranormal."
and now you're telling me the best chance out that would have been...

Jerry,

Will charcoal work? I think that would be more efficient than wood. What 2-3,4 bags?

IDK about the spit, someone's gotta come thru on that one.

How much hog are we talking here?

According to this site a 75lbs dressed pig will yield 30lbs cooked meat and serve roughly 20 people.

Honestly, I've never been to a hog roast. I know, I...

Ah! Man! The new guy is supposed to carry our stuff, or bring coffee crisps, or something show their determination to be accepted by the group. Ya can't just be like "open invite" then who knows what...

Does beer count as a fix'n?

I don't drink very often (3-4 times a year) but was thinking about bringing a micro-keg; maybe it should be 2?

Anyone object?

on second thought I don't think the 9yo will be coming. Would cut into his trick or treating, and we all know that's more important.

I have a friend (a ground dweller) who has asked to join us. I...

Oh Yeah Baby!

I been waiting for this. I'm pretty sure I will be making this one, since I missed the Hoosier Hang this past spring.

Might be bringing my GF's 9yo old for his B-day. He turns...
