Ok guys, I know it early, but its never to early to start planning. Here is what I was thinking.......June 22-24, Rocky Creek Park, Lake Somerville. I checked the SDBA schedule, and its is free. I checked the available camp sites. There are plenty, but the closer to the date, the less will be available. I was also thinkin that if anyone was interested, I could plan a catered meal for us for Saturday night. My In-laws own a reasturaunt, and they would do it for us at cost. All I need is a head count. Could do somthing like all you can eat fajita's for like $5 a person, or BBQ for les then that. Let me know if there is any intrest in it, and I will get it planned.
