It time for a roll call of those planning on attending and what you can bring (food, plates, etc.) to the picnic Sunday, May 16th. I will update this list daily.

Anyone know if Oil is open yet? Kind of off topic but some pre-outing scouting would be fun.

Oil is open and blown out.  It was stocked last week.

Count me in.
Not sure what to bring, yet.
(Jack, I lost your number)

Today, I called to reserve a pavillion at the park. I was informed that to reserve the large pavillion,(the same one we have used in previous years), there is now a $64 daily fee. All the other smaller pavillions are free and on a first come, first use
basis. Both the large and small pavillions have grills, but only the large one has an electric hook-up. IMO I think we should take a chance and hope that somebody else doesn't reserve the large pavillion that day, then there would be no charge I'm told. If we do this I will call on Friday, May 14th to check to see if the large pavillion is not reserved. Anybody else have an opinion about what to do?

That sounds good to me Greg. We never really see many other people at those other pavillions.

Somebody else can take care of the pavillion if you all want to "rent" one.
As stated above, I think we should take a chance that nobody else will reserve the big pavillion.
If somebody does reserve it, we can always use a smaller pavillion. Remember the small ones are closer to the bend upstream.

The lady at the park suggested I call her the Friday before on the 14th,
to see if it is reserved. I will do that if needed.

I agree with Greg. No sense in blowing money.
