Location: Martin Dies, Jr. State Park - http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/martin_dies_jr/
Spot #37 - Enter the park and drive straight to the back. When you see the lake, the road will turn 90 degrees to the right. Spot 37 will be on the left hand side, in the 90 degree turn. I will have my pull behind pit parked at the camp spot.
Time: Anyone interested in attending, should do so between 12 noon - 6pm.
I will most probably pull my pit over to the park and put some meat on the grill. We are talking brisket, maybe some ribs, hot dogs, pork chops, sausage,,,,. I have a chest freezer full of meat right now, so having plenty of food should not be a problem.
This will be a family friendly event.
You do not have to have a fishing license to fish in the park. So if you want to bring the kids, and do some fishing, go right ahead.
If you plan on attending, please bring lawn chairs, some kind of snack, your own drinks. If you want to cook something after you arrive, there should be room on the grill for whatever you bring.
When my wife and I pick out a camping spot, I'll update this thread.
