[pct-l] John Muir House Tour, Hike and BBQ - Sunday, February 27 - Martinez CA

[Hernandez]

Apologies, Shroomer, we've heard all about your famous BBQ, and are drooling
already.  If Huff 'n' Puff can't make it, Huff Daddy and I may just have to
come without him.  Lord knows we're drooling already.  ;^)

Hey Purple Honker,

 

If we have another grill master coming, I may have to ramp up the feed.
Maybe get the smoker going with some ribs or something else really artery
clogging.  I also do killer grilled tofu too, so vegetarians please give a
holler.  

 

Hope you can make it.

My son, H.R. Huff 'n' Puff, is out of town rafting down the Colorado River
with some hiking buddies from the PCT and the AT.  May I please reserve a
spot for him in his absence?  He is a top flight cook and grill master, as
many of you probably know. We'll make sure he confirms one way or the other
when he returns home.

Thanks!

Susan (aka Purple Honker)

Dear Holly,

Count me in!

If you like, for my "side dish" contribution I can bring in a vegetarian
Entree or a box of Boca Burgers and Vegan Cheese if that would make things
easier for you.  Just let me know how many vegetarians will be attending.
