    I have a pork shoulder in the freezer that's to much for my wife and me. I've been looking for an occaision to smoke it so if you all just want to bring beverages I think I have the rest covered.

    I'm cautious about posting my address on social media forums so email me at akicita1963@gmail.com and I'll send it to you with my cell too.

    Looking forward to the meeting and trip - thanks again for the opportunity!

    Can I bring some real German Bratwurst to the BBQ? How many?"

    Would you be willing to just buy some for me and I'll pay you? We're partial to Johnsonville but I like trying new things. Man, I remember when I could get a 12 pack of Johnsonville brats for $5.99 on sale. Now a 5 pack is more than that! Although, I was also in Wisconsin.

    My wife and I buy pork shoulder from Costco. We break it down into 2 - 5 lb pieces and then use the Foodsaver to vacuum seal it and drop it in the freezer. If it's just us eating, we pull one of the 2lb packages out and it gives us enough for 4 meals total. If we have others, we pull a 5lb out or two 5lb packages. It works great!

    If you're not completely opposed, how about we bring a few different BBQ sauces? I have no idea if they'll be good, I like to go to Scheels and just pick things I haven't tried.

    Sure I can buy a selection and you can pay me back. Wimberger's is a German bakery and meat market. The sausages
    are real German style. We can't tell the difference. Note, I have spent over 17 years living in Germany and my wife is
    German, born and raised.

    How many are you thinking of? We freeze them too.

    I'd be interested in some Wimberger's!

    If it works out - spin the wheel as to what/how many (just for me).

    What's the saying: I'll be sure to pay you handsomely... tomorrow.

    I have Mike and Jim on the list for Wimberger's Bakery.
    I'll get 2 of each of several types, depending on what they have in stock, for you to try.
    Let me know if you want more than 2. I will bring them to the meeting on Sun. and I will
    keep them refrigerated.

    The other campsite area northwest of Hanksville: Hidden Splendor Airstrip

    A couple short vids and a map
    The first video shows a large tractor/trailer at the airstrip - apparently the road in is easy enough.

    I'm not saying to tack this onto the list - rather simply giving info on the site (and finding myself that I wish to check it out at some point).

    For anyone that likes flying - this 10min Hanksville to Hidden Splendor fly-by (tents campers) and back is to be enjoyed. Full screen and high resolution. Stay through to the end for low level flight back to Hanksville.

    How is that plane flying?! That propeller isn't spinning fast enough! I flew a Diamond DA-22 I think it was. I would LOVE to get my pilots license. Flying scares the crap out of me, what better way to conquer your fears?

    I owned/flew an ultralight (FAR PART 103, powered weightshift). I "had thoughts" to trailer to sites such as Hidden Splendor and go for some low-n-slow flying around scenic areas. Those thoughts never materialized (sold it last summer) - but Hidden Splendor hits a nice note in my mind. At least I can get there in the jeep and into the air via vids from others.
