i'm waiting for a call back from riplely's to confirm our tour dates, but here's what we're shooting for:
11:00 - meet at 7 islands nature refuge by dana's house to carpool to ripleys
1:00 pm and 2:00 pm - shooting for a behind-the-scenes tours (max 10 people per tour)
4:00 - meet up to head back to 7 islands nature refuge for picnic (douglas dam pavilion was booked for a year!)
5:00 pm - picnic
if you can't make the tour, you're still welcome to join the gang at the picnic, and vice versa.
if you can't make it to the refuge by 11:00am, you're welcome to just drive on up to ripley's aquarium, but i'm not sure if you'll get the group rate if you don't enter with the group (its on my list of questions them).
i'll be making a big pork butt and maybe brisket, so we'll have pulled pork/brisket sandwiches. everybody should bring a dish that can either be refrigerated, or left in a crock pot to keep warm while we're at ripley's
we have plenty of chips and sodas left over from the swap.
eddie has volunteered to bring baked beans.
we need an accurate head count asap, because if we have more than 20, we'll need to add another tour.
it should be fun, hope to see you there!!
me, richard, and holly (3)
