Tom and I are planning on going! Anyone else?

I took Thursday off so I'll be home most of that day except to do some grocery getting.
Need a head count and what days to expect you and if you planning on bringing that "Signature" dish with you so I can get the food right.

Me and another member Justin Durst would like to come down on sat and sun if those days are available to wheel. I think our boys will join us and camp if thats ok. Happy to bring food and supplies for everyone, just let me know.

Do you have directions to get to Dukes?
I am sure we will be wheeling Sat. and 1/2 day on Sunday.
Plenty of room to camp.

Lida and I would like to go and plan on camping. Does the group normally eat meals together and should we bring something?
Thanks, Brent

We eat together. Probably have steak and tater dinner Thursday night. I got that along with breakfast and lunches covered. Dinners I'm open for suggestions. I have a well appointed kitchen and a big grill, so if you or anyone else would like to step up to the plate, you can just bring all the fixins and cook it here.

For the folks who have never been here before, here are the loose plans ...
Arrive anytime between Wednesday evening and Sunday. Leave when you like. Breakfast every day around 8 am and wheeling Friday, Sat and Sunday around 9:30 AM. Lunch and diner when we get around to it. Fireworks Friday and Saturday night. Festivities usually wrap up around noon on Sunday.

You can camp. There's power for fans or campers in the "Dun-Did-Er Campground", by the house or in the barn. Or crash in the house, there's lots of room. Just bring your own bedding and towels for showers.

Duke

PS. Bring your favorite adult beverage for the evening liars club about the campfire.

I may have GPS coordinates that will get you within a 1/2 mile of Dukes Off-road Ranch. I'll check Monday.

Post by **wdln** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 4:11 pm

You'd probably be better off following the directions. They are pretty clear. Your GPS might try to take you across the Scary Bridge, which you don't want to do. Or onto some road that turns into a river of mud then you lose your front license plate trying to get un-stuck on your way back from taking a buddy into town to buy plugs and wires for his aging tow vehicle that he should have done a tune-up on at home before he came to Duke's.

I mean, not that THAT ever happened...

I don't have the gps coordinates. WDLN is correct anyway.

I am bringing southwest ranch pasta salad & 2 boxes of K-cups (thanks to Steve & my Mom I'm hooked on the Keurig now!). Brooklyn will be making blue raspberry decorated cookies one of these nights, and I have some berry muffins to bake for just whenever snacks. Yes, Steve, I'm bringing my muffin tins. Lol.
C-y'all later today
