Parking will be on asphalt and the pavilion is on concrete. It isn’t really that wet anyway, but I’m sure if one ventured closer to the lake you could find mud? The pavilion is large enough we shouldn‘t need additional shade. There are tables, electric and water. There are a couple of grills at one end if anyone wants to do s’mores. I’m bringing a bag of charcoal, lighter fluid and a lighter. I’ll also throw in a few pieces of oak and pecan if we want a little more than coals. A fire sounds a little less needed than two weeks ago, but? Jen, there is a slight chance of rain early that morning, but it’s like 20%? Signs probably aren’t necessary. It‘s basically a matter of going north at the big sign that has Clear Bay on it to the first crossroads, turn right and follow that road all the way to the end. Or, I think the roads are marked. Take Clear Bay Ave to Little River State Park turn right and go to the end of it.

Rebecca, the original pavilion I rented was much easier to get to, nicer restrooms and better parking. Unfortunately the weather encouraged us to postpone. That forced us to move to the alternate location. It was nice enough, but without Jen’s help (signs), I’m not sure everyone would have found it!

Jen, those are loblolly pine. After this rain, the seedlings will be easy to dig and pot. Once they start putting down a tap root, you have to dig pretty deep in odrer for the tree to survive. I was always told on the larger trees to mark compass direction so they can be oriented the same when transplanted. I don’t know if that’s really a thing? With seedlings, it doesnt seem to matter.

Hi Everyone. Will this SF be another 2017?! So....Tom and I will purchase the meat this week, get it thawed and smoked for Saturday. All of that should be great. About the tomatoes.... The Jet Setters and Heidis are not the best. I suspect I got a bag of "bad" potting mix. However, they are growing. I will bring them...and if anyone wants to give them a chance, please do. I am going to plant some of them still. Rick bought Jet Stars to replace my Jet Setters for the SG. BUT, I'm still going to plant them somewhere else. I have a couple of places in mind. I have high hopes for them. I think once they get planted, they'll be fine. I have 2 roselle plants for Lisa that are still doing great. The Dawn pepper didn't germinate....so nothing there. I'll repeat this at the other place.
