I will be un-able to make it, due to the holiday.

I won't be able to make it either :(

Bummer. Sorry about the timing. I was afraid of this.

Mist, I have the Bag of juice, We will be there what time is the party?

I'm thinkin' about 4:30. Shooting for dinner around 6:00. I just got back from the fancy-pants gourmet meat store in Jackson with 10 lbs. of nice looking beef brisket and 5 lbs. of salmon to smoke. My brother in law is doing pulled pork in his smoker and my son in law is bringing 30 gallons of craft beer.
Anything else will have to come from all y'alls.
Hope lots of you come. It's supposed to be hot and sunny but there's a lot of shade here.
If anyone needs directions please pm me.

Yeah for 90 degrees and sunny Sunday. Can't wait to eat some of that meat and wash it down with your sons beer!

How are the roads in your area? Were thinking we might ride out on the motorcycle but if I recall correctly theres several miles of dirt road. Is it like a wash board or smooth?

Do you have an approximate head count so I know how much potato salad to bring? Looking forward to seeing everyone.

If you come out US 12 it will only be the last 2 miles that are dirt. The washboarding is not that bad right now. the township grades and re gravels the roads on a fairly regular basis but the farm equipment screws them up pretty fast. You can crawl the last two miles if you feel you need to. Lots of bikes out here in the summer.
I have NO friggin' idea about a head count this year. I'd suggest just making a 9X11 pan or a big bowl. I think most people are bringing something so we'll be alright.
I have 10 lbs. of brisket and 5 lbs. of salmon plus my brother in law is doing a .... roast for pulled pork.

Well I was sure I was going to be able to make it but it turns out I can't, dammit. Work stuff and funeral stuff (close friend's father's funeral) is going to keep me from getting down there. The food sounds awesome and mist I hope plenty of people show up to eat, drink and vape!
I hope the Lansing meets become a regular thing as well because I'm totally up for that when life doesn't get in the way.

Also hope someone will be taking photos. :)

I'm looking forward to this.
I know what two of the beers will be. We'll have a scotch ale (my request) and a summer wheat ale flavored with nectarines or peaches or some such shiznit. I guess the third one will be a surprise. I think my wife's planning on mixing up some beergaritas too. There will be wine and some limited soft drinks as well.
