OC/CC/NC ~ Cookout & Picnic ?

[Ricochet]

Okay hold this shit up right here. No picnic of any sort is going to go down in my hood without proper Q. I'm talking about a real smoker, and some pork shoulders. Brined, rubbed down, smoked proper, brought up to 200 degrees and melting apart before a fork can even touch it. Topped off with some homemade BBQ sauce and horsey. Can you smell what the rock is cooking?

lol

Sounds good to me.

If you have the equipment and the meat, bring it.

I dont know how to do all that.

I agree about August; summer is crazy from now through late July but August is open.



There might be other, cheaper places and I'm up for anything. Good thing about Ross though is it's close to the city and easy to find plus there are a lot of members in and around the North Hills. And I know at least one RTPD officer is a member here...

Yes I think you're right.
Ross does seem like an ideal location.
And since many of you folks have experience with the place lets shoot for that.

August also works well for me too. Saturday the 13th or Sunday the 14th would be just perfect.

I'm not sure if I can even respond to this. Can't... say... anything...

I was looking at the Ross Twp. Parks Map.

Which one do you guys recommend? Keep in mind, some of the members will probably be bringing their kids, so if there's a playground near a pavilion that would be good too.

Here's the link to the map:

lol your making me hungry......do you deliver

Sadly I need quite a bit of notice to make the Q magic happen. But this sounds like it's going to be fun... mark me down for some Q. I can bring the equipment.

That second August weekend should be right after softball playoffs, which is perfect.

Count me in for the 13th. If it looks like there will be interest I can go and talk to the people at the Township building to make sure it'd all be okay with them. Would be embarrassing to have OCers getting hassled at an event...

LOL!

Westies are going on their fifth year of hosting monthly PAFOA group shoots - they are a good time with lots of bacon

I was thinking the park at the township community center itself. Shelters 2 and 3 are right near the playground and there are bathroom facilities & grills there. Plus my hunch is that there would be less chance of other residents not "in the know" freaking out about the guns. After all, we'd be right next to the police station so any concerned soccer moms wouldn't have far to run to drop a dime on us!

Another good option would be Evergreen Park because it's bigger and more private but I'd bet the RTPD would be fielding MWAG calls all day.

Well, I have never been to these parks and you seem to be familiar with the area.

If you fee like makings the call on which park, I trust your judgement.


I really appreciate your help.
