Good times on a nice Fall day in Maryland. With meetups, it's not the quantity, it's the quality, and I want to recognize two of our areas nicest members for making the day memorable. Shane (Peaspurple), Mike (Stavlund) and myself, along with assorted family and friends met this afternoon for some great food and good company. The park was very nice, even though Ranger 1 did not see eye to eye with Ranger 2 when it came to the pavilion rules. After dodging jail time, we were able to proceed with the set up.
My Mod-Month rig made it's first public appearance, along with my '79 18.5 for it's first cook.
A little chimney action on the crimson Joe got things started:
Things got a little messy.
Good thing I had table space!
The colored kettles competed well with the falling leaves.
Of course, Mike seems to think red kettles are just a little more perfect than any other color.
And his daughter agrees. (And after last night's waterworks
she was NOT going to be denied this meetup!)
Look Ma - No Grills! Maybe my best shot of the day - thanks to Mike's girls.
Nice way to end the meetup season, but we'll be back strong in the Mid Atlantic next year. And of course we'll be grilling through the Winter months. Keep the kettles warm WKC!
