marcos, the thing you have to realize is that everyone on here has different schedules that are generally not a constant one much like mine. you can't say let's have a meet less than a week ahead and truly expect people to show up.
camel, which park do you want to use? i think the lake cookout is a great idea and will definitely make the time to come out. instead of donations for food let's just bring individual items. i'll volunteer for charcoal/lighter fluid and cooking utensils, as well as hotdogs and buns, maybe more. may bring the boat out too if the weather's up to par.
another option is to do a mountain run/cookout the way we do it with the ImportAtlanta crowd all the time. there are so many parks up there to cook at like Vogel or Raven's Cliffs Falls and lots of random parking areas along the Richard Russell scenic highway to park lots of cars at (they were empty last weekend when we did a run and it was beautiful weather). i know plenty of good routes to take up there to keep it interesting too;) . either way we'll have a blast.
oh and camel, shoot me an email to
[email protected] with your phone number if you want any help in organzing everything. i'm just as close to the lake as you are to if we need to scout some parks i'm game. i'll even volunteer to cook:ylsuper
