We are having it. Wanna Come? :)

This is not the official RSVP topic, we will start one of those with a count the first part of June.  This topic is to let you know, yea, we are having it, I DON'T CARE WHO SAYS WHAT!.  It's our home. We will make food and welcome anyone that wishes to show up!!






Area Motels

Area Camping

I strongly recommend getting opinions on hotels or motels in the area from us or other members that have come to the pigroast. There are a handful that turn up on those google maps that we will strongly advise against. There are plenty of very good places to stay.

WHO ARE OUR PROSPECTS? :D :)

A little early to tell, but I did run the directions. Its about a 12 hour drive for me. The most direct route has me cutting across Ontario and I am wondering what the borders are like just now. I don't have (and because of COVID) can't get one of those fancy licenses that would let me through and my passport is long out of date. I am assuming a border crossing is out for me, but maybe someone here knows better? Anyway, I am thinking hard on it.

I want to come to it, and I'm bringing the wife, but she needs a hard date so that she can submit it for her to be able to take off.

I don't remember what the date(s) were because I've never been able to come. Please give me the date(s) again.
Trying harder everyday.

Hope y'all can make it this year.

Yes, I got that. But the date is the thing. I'm assuming 8-1-2021ish. It's to vague for the wife and our 14hr drive, both ways. Because of my medical condition she'll have to drive lots of it.

The date says August 7, 2021. That would be the seventh of August.

We are going to try. Long trip (12.5 hours) but no doubt worth it.

Going in and out of Canada ain't gonna happen especially without a passport.

According to the first post you have approx. 150 days to resolve your issues.
You might be able to get into Oh Canada ok eh, but getting back into the USA without an 
enhanced drivers license or a passport could be a nightmare.
Approx. 150 days and counting tick tock tick tock ..........

I made the mistake to go through Canada to go to Boonsville. It's shorter they say. Distance wise maybe. I'd rather be driving than parked in a line for hours.

About a 10 hour drive for me.  It's a strong maybe if the wife approves it.  I may bring the camper to avoid hotels.  Is there some good trout fishing around there?  I need a fishing trip.

You know, I just saw that and I got spastic. I'll try a little harder next time. 🤓 just how's I feel. Oops! I guess it's what I get for being all exited. Y'all can make fun of me in person, if my says that WE can go.

I didn't think about my son's birthday being the 9th.  I will try to come up several days before the roast and spend a few days fishing and then be at the roast on 7th and then drive home on 8th.  Probably meet family in Branson MO as that's our traditional spot to spend the last week of summer vac before kids go back to school.

Only a 40 hour drive for me! ::)  With fuel prices the way they are going, probably cheaper to fly!  Alas, not in the cards for me but sure would be fun to put real names to the handles and see some faces...

And Roxie, may I add that you're setting a fine example of only using you're Superpower for Good ("Encouragement" and "Acknowledgement" are mine.)....

P.s. We'll plan on making that 40 minute drive this year, also!

In my experience, going across Canada takes longer time wise. You spend too much time in line at the borders!!

Since 911 it is not worth it to try and cut through Canada.  The time you would have saved is taken up in the long lines at border.
And I can't imagine what it will be like now with Covid.

The Canada-US border is closed to all non-essential ground travel, and has been for eight or so months.
However, by August, that might be changed. Hopefully.
