Title: 2011 Pig Roast Thread (now the RSVP Thread Please let us know if you might come)
Post by: Jeff on May 28, 2011, 12:18:21 PM
Hey! It's time to start planning if you have not.  This morning the count down to the left says only 70 days to go.  For us, that's like the day after tomorrow. :D   Really, this year is going to be a challenge for the one and a third armed dude, but we'll be ready.   I'll keep this first post updated as needed and link the countdown to the left under the sponsors to this thread. Nothing to really add at the moment other than its getting close!  Who's planning on coming?

We're coming this year unless I get hit by a bus in the meantime.  :D

Don't tell Burl but we're going to stop by his place on the way up.  ;D

Oh and need me to bring anything?

Disappointment for Mary and I. We've been to every roast, except one, so this will be our second miss. The reason for missing is my 50 year graduation celebration from the Michigan Technological University School of Forestry. Mary was there with me. It's located about 350 miles from the site of the pig roast. I have known for a several years that it would conflict with the pig roast, as the reunion always includes includes the 1st Saturday in August, the same as the pig roast.  It's always fun to meet long time Forestry Forum members for the first time, as well as meeting long time attendees again, and again. Sorry we'll be missing Norm & Patty, and probably a number of other folks that we'd really like to have the pleasure of meeting, as the attendee list grows. The one roast that we missed was because I was at the MTU reunion with our son.

Since Ron Scott and I were in the same class in forestry school, it's pretty likely that he and Jan will be at our class reunion as well. They probably haven't missed any of the pig roasts.

I am pleased that I can still do what I am doing in life after 50 years after college (hunting, fishing, canoeing, four times a week tennis, maintaining two homes, etc.), and I am confident that Ron is as well.

So, we're sad  :(  not to not be able to make it this time, but happy  ;D that all will gather again. We wish Lefty and Tammy well.  They always do a fantastic job of making a great pig roast and making everybody feel welcome. They go all out!

Don't miss the pig roast if you can possibly make it. It's worth traveling a long ways to attend. You'll not regret it. Thanks, Jeff & Tammy for all that you do.

Norm & Mary

   I think that I'll make it for the first time this year. My Mother has never been in that part of the country and made a deal with Dad to go up there this summer (she has to go to his class reunion in Texas). As an invitee I said sure, but that I'd want to treat for lunch one day. Jeff, got room at the table for a couple more? ;D

Odd number year and so many other things currently on the 'to-do' or 'go-to' lists that's it likely Kitty and I will miss this year.  We are planning on being at the October Paul Bunyon & Sawmill Shootout in Cambridge OH.

Saginaw is the closest. Exactly one hour from our place. Cheaper to fly into detroit, but you have a 3 hour drive from there. Clare and Harrison are the closest for lodging. Clare is only 15 minutes, we are in Harrison. Harrison only has small mom and pop places, Clare has chain hotels and some other larger ones.  Houghton lake is a half hour away. Largest inland lake in Michigan outside of the great lakes. It has many hotels as well.
Title: Re: 2011 Pig Roast Thread
Post by: Norm on May 29, 2011, 10:50:47 AM
Jeff do you have a list like in years past for lodging?

This will be the first time in 11 years we've taken off more than a couple of days. Patty was just a bit surprised when she opened this thread. I told her we are finally going to travel without having to be somewhere at a certain time, except Saturday of course.  :)
Title: Re: 2011 Pig Roast Thread
Post by: Jeff on May 29, 2011, 11:04:17 AM
There is one place I won't be recommending after last year and that is the lakeside motel. (https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,45352.0/all.html) I think a google search of clare or harrison should return a bunch of options, If you see something intreaging, let me know first before you contact them so I can tell you what I know about it. There are some places in Harrison that I feel are not worthy of a forum member.

You may not want to stay at the Deer Tick place either. ;D
When we got there Tammy and Stacy asked us where we were staying.
Then they said we'll find you another place and did.
We stayed uptown at the same place Burlkraft and Jill were at.

Pigman had to tell a couple fellers something but I only caught the tailend of it. :D

You aren't going to believe this. But I just did an Expedia search from Kansas City to Saginaw, and one from Kansas City to Detroit. To Saginaw is 332 dollars. Detroit is 360. That is with a stop in Detroit. And you wonder why the airlines continue to lose money.

The Lakeside Motel is a fine place to stay. I would just make sure to check every little detail of the room for any damage as you check in and make sure the management checks the room for any damage before you check out. ::)

I was certainly counting on attending my first pig roast this year.  I had already done a search on lodging and air flights.

My problem is that I had to move up my total hip replacement from next year to this because the symptoms have progressed pretty rapidly.  Anyway, I will be about 5 weeks post-op when the pig roast convenes, and that may be a little soon for a flight, long drive, meeting strangers I already know, and drinking a few beers.  Maybe not.  So I have to play it by ear this year.  Sorry I can't fully commit, as I was looking forward to meeting my many friends in person.

Happy birthday Doc. I just had one also, just a few shy of the big 60 mark though.

Well it is official. I will not be able to come and meet you guys up North. We are planning a big turn around here at work and they kind of frown on some of us not being here. Maybe next year.

Jeff, Patty is their any thing we can send to help out with? We hate that we won't make it. Ya'll have fun.

Woodchuck, I am just dang happy to be going to the picnic myself !!  Jeff would be the person to ask, but I do know for sure that money is always a welcome gift. Jeff & Tammy put on a huge production for the piggy roast, and I can not even imagine what it must cost them. A donation to help pay for the piggy or for the paper plates and such would certainly be a good place to start.  ;)

Marcel, if you're swinging down south to pick up all those other fellows, how about swinging through North Carolina and giving me a ride?  

I'll ride up in the van with you, but we can put my Harley in your trailer, and that will give some of those other fellows something to sit on during the trip.   ;D

Dat way  I wouldn't hafta load down da ole Harley as bad.  ;)  Da beer would hafta ride in da cab wit you, it may not survive ta trip if it rode in da trailer.  :-\

Looking forward to it Marty. No need to bring anything unless you feel the urge. Some people bring a door prize, some bring a dish to pass, but its totally unnecessary to bring anything but yourself and family. :)

We need to start getting a count on how many people might attend. So far its looking kinda bleak looking back at this thread.  Its only about a month to go and I don't have a clue this year on what the attendance might look like. I've had very few people tell me they are coming but lots of people tell me they are not. So far I don't have a single request for a camping spot.

So, lets get a count. Please update the number as you add yourself.  :)

Jeff, Tammy and Stacy. Dogman Pete and Lynda,

The Number is now  5

There's gotta be more.....Is the Southern Chapter gonna be represented?

It's worth the trip just for the door prizes let alone the grub and the great conversations  :D :D

Definitely worth it.  8) :) But, as I replied to the Facebook page, I can't make the trip this year. ;) When that saw got factored into my trip, I got a free vacation to Roast 2010. ;)

As Arnold would say, "I'll be back".

The better half made reservations at Harrison's finest 5 star motel, so I suppose we will be there.
I think that makes  11.
Dang Steve, your number was below 10, so you didn't have to take your shoes off for your count. :(

Lindy and I are coming. We decided to drive it instead of flying. Will be cheaper in the long run to drive when you figure in a rental car from the airport. Cheapest air I could find was $340 per head one way. By the time we drive to the closest airport we're already 2 hours toward being there. Road trip it is. Never dorve in yankee land. Ya'll do drive on the right side of the road don't you?

Pig weeds or pig roast? this is my question. We're having an outright war with herbicide-resistant pigweeds; it is a mattter of keeping the upper hand throughout the growing season else, there may be no crop! We cannot even begin to think of a vacation, we had plans to go out to the Tree Farm Conference in, I believe, New Mexico. The wife says she's taking the grandkids to Branson with or without me in August. But thank-you for the invite anyways.

  Hi Jeff, Ronda and I are planning on coming. We are going to be camping east of  Grayling on Thursday through Sunday so on Saturday we will drive down to Harrison.
  I am planning on driving the old woodburner up if I can get the electrical problems worked out in time, when we came up last time the generator quit working so we replaced it with a larger alternator and the old wiring cant handle it.
Looking forward to having a good time, good food and meeting you all.

Pick-up a side car and get Fish on your way up, his good at getting air matresses pumped up by the locals up there. Then again , that may not be such a good idea, ya might have ta share accomodations... A motel does sound wiser after thought.  :)

I thought the air mattress in the car under Jeff's oaks was a nice spot to. I never had an ache nor pain. ;D

The stump jumpers with their travel trailer made fine neighbors to.

The final morning I saw Fish and Raider_Bill both scrambling to get their gear packed up when that thunderstorm rolled in. Old Dang was more interested in the coffee pot. Course he had a dry van for accommodations. :D ;)

For showers, I thought $5 down the road at the campground (can't remember the name) was a good deal. Can wash clothes there to I think. Jeff can probably remember the name of the place, I told him I went down there.

Google's estimate must be straight driving time!  They claim I can make 3,587 miles in 3 days flat.  However, when I was much younger and drove up from Colorado, it took 3.5 days, driving ~16 hours per day, with an average speed of ~85 mph.

Bill, I hope so (as well as to meet and see everybody else at the P.R).  Unfortuantely I had to cancel the Sturgis trip as well, so I am already thinking about doing both next year.

Well it's no pig roast for me again this year. After that July 1 storm, I am surrounded by down trees. Even took one on my camper in the woods. And the MN DNR wants me to look at 10 salvage sales in the state parks and forests just to clear the campgrounds which are still closed.

So have a good time and maybe next year.

I forgot one thing before Chris left Duluth, MN for the pig roast. I had intended to say he respond with "ya sure ya betcha" instead of "no worries" as they say in Australia. I thought the FF members from the northern states would get a kick out of it!

I would like to be there, but I have some major work to do on a sawmill before the first of Sept.

Everyone seems to be having a good time, things are wound down for the day. I'm on pig mode for the rest of the night. When I switch propane tanks in an hour or so, and get everything running smooth on the cooker again, I'll try to get 2 or 3 hours sleep.  Smaller group then last year on a Friday evening but the food was really good. The corn especially. I'm hoping others are taking pictures. I had not even thought about it until a little while ago. I know they were taking a lot of photos of the pig cooking! :)

I would like to attend a pig roast or a chicken crispin but 1309 miles is a bit far for me.  We do a little cooking from time to time. 

These are a few ribs that are about ready to come off.  I cooked 196 slabs that day on two rotations.  There were a bunch of folks cooking to raise money for the families of two police officers who were killed.  At the end of the day, the community raised about $90,000.

And pecan pie. Without grits.

I grew up in a mixed family, and have learned to enjoy new cultures. I ate everything they put in front of me when I visited China for 6 weeks-- after that-- the rest was easy.

I should point out that when I say a mixed family, I mean, my dad was from Oregon, and my mom was from Maine. So a culturally mixed family.

As I said earlier, I enjoy learning from various cultures and enjoying their food.  I can find things to like about everywhere, including food.
