Thinking of doing another GTG/cookout at Patapsco State Park in Elkridge, MD. The pavilion that holds 20 people/cars and is available October 14,20,21,27 or 28 as of today. I will take care of reserving the pavilion if others bring food.

Finally a reply. I know that bar. I'm thinking 10/21/12. I did this 2yrs ago and we had a good turn out. Pavilion has a fireplace so if someone could bring a little firewood. Also, could someone start a list of food stuff (I'm not good at that). Have room at the pavilian for 20 cars but more room down the street if we need it. Please post this on other sites. This is first come, first serve for parking. Go O's!!!

There we go. Finally a MD pep. U could be right on the year. We did have a nice little GTG/cookout that would be fun to repeat. Just a little later in the year, but we have a fireplace to warm our toes. Do u remember who did the list stuff???

I'm tentatively down for this as it's not too far away. I also love cooking/grilling/baking, so I can definitely provide some food for everyone.

What time do you plan on arriving Stuvo?

Is this the same pavilion as last time?

I'm gonna try to make it I think we'll be back by midday. I'll hold off on signing for food until I know more about me being there.

They open at 9AM I'm shooting for that.
Yes, it's the same pavilion as last year. I thought that was a pretty good set up. Maybe we can use the fireplace this year.

Also, a big item we need is CHARCOAL.
