Wow guys just what I've been waiting for. All of a sudden help has stepped up and willing to help sounds like we may have a plan. smoken peachy real nice offer by you. Thank You. Got a reply yesterday that suggested we pick an area and see who was living in that area but we have received a lot of replies for this area.

We have all winter to make plans if Smoken peachy is willing to host this. You live in Amish country man they live without all the luxuries.

What I know about that area there is a lot of motels.

Would be nice to hear who would be interested so sent you reply so we could see a possible number. Expect it to start out small but hey it will be a start.

Again thanks to all for their reply and interest.

The biggest thing I think is if people need to stay over night if it's a 2 day thing.

Tents and campers could be set up. Do you have any clean totes we could fill with water? There is a small creek that runs through my pasture but don't think we want to drink it. The spot I thought might work would require us to drive through the creek but if we don't soon get some rain it might be dry. It's only about 2" deep right now.

I have a 450 gallon tank bit it's not food safe. I see totes that are food safe for sale. I will check into them.

I have a 300 gallon tank on my sprayer but I don't think that will work.
If no one showers all weekend we wouldn't need much water.
I guess if people brought campers they could fill there tanks up with water before setting up.
I think we could possibly do this in the pasture but I am sure a campground would make this easier.
 
A sprayer tank is definitely out cause of chemical use in it.
 
Wow I just can't believe all the interest in this the last few days thanks to all for their reply's.

Cool weather sounds great Sept. Oct. maybe even May.

Smoken Peachy I see on the map there is a campground not to far from you possibly we could check it out.

Thanks all for your replies.

What is the name of the campground you are referring to?
 
Not shore of the name will find out but on the map it shows Strodes Mill.Have to take wife to therapy. Will look in camp ground book I have when I get back.
 
This is GREAT... exactly how the S. Fl.Gathering took shape... Things to look for in a campground ... That sites are close together... not a campground where sites are split/divided with trees/shrubs ... We reserve a site (and split cost between members) that is solely for the Gathering Tents ...If the campground has a pavilion/screen room/something of that sort.. see what rent is for that and maybe do that instead of and extra site .. We scoured websites (campgrounds) ... get address and look at it on google earth (zoom in all the way) .. We find that State Parks are cheaper than private owned campgrounds.... If somebody is close to one ya find stop in and look at it in person before hand ... see what the bath houses are like (keep your lady folk in mind)...

Thai's a few things...
 
Smokin Peachey sent a message and asked if we have lost interest in this. I have not remember it was back in May when I started this thread and it didn't go anywhere then I came back after some problems this summer and things seem to have gotten moving now we are in a stall again but I think after the holidays it will pick up again.

Hey c farmer sorry we didn't connect in OC this past summer maybe next year.

Smokin Peachey my camp ground book did not give a name for the one I mention in Strodes Mill. I like the idea of the one near Harrisburg it would be much closer for me still about 4 hrs away.

I am still interested in doing this next year at some point.

Yea, maybe next year we can meet up Half Smoked.
 
Just want to bump this up and tell you all that have showed an interest that it looking like we may have a gathering in the fall Go on PA group posting and follow what being planed looks like C Farmer is planing on one at his place. If you think you can make it let him know.

I really encourage anybody that's thinking about it, to go... It is a great place to get hands on experience... learn new techniques from other members... get great recipes... eat some awesome food... and also it is a blast to meet the people you talk to almost daily ...

We just had our S. FL Spring Gathering this past weekend.. a little hot (ok.. a lot hot.. record high temps... GGRRRR)... http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/...ring-gathering-apr-28-30-w-pics-you-missed-it ....
