BBQ Parking

This is where we'll be meeting at 9:30 AM to head to Shelton.

Q: “What should I bring?”

1.  Dolla dolla bills, ya’ll. Although not necessary (we want you to come even if you’re broke – seriously), cashmoneyrespect will be helpful for the following:

  • Riding in the van. We are asking for a little help to offset the cost of van rental & gas (probably around $300). $10 is cool. More is ice cold.
  • Food & drink. We’re going to stop at the Shelton Safeway on our way in to pick up supplies. There you can get some supplies for yourself & a little to share if you can spare the dime. If not, don’t worry.
  • Souvenirs. Seriously, the Wal-Mart sells all kinds of shit with “Shelton” written on it. Bottle openers, magnets, shot glasses, & more. Aaron has at least 1 of everything we just mentioned.
  • Merch. We’ll be bringing a couple T-shirts with us if you want to grab one or six.

2.  Anything YOU think is fun. We’ll have some “down time” to just hang out & play some games besides the ones we’re recording for the show (hatchet-throwing, oyster shucking, & more).

Bring what you like to do when you hang with your friends: outdoor games like croquet, lawn darts, or cornhole (we’ve got bocce ball covered), or card or board games. The nerdier the better. Aaron’s bringing Extreme ONE! Brace yourselves.

3.  Chairs & coolers. If you have some folding chairs or coolers that you could bring (Shelton locals would be most helpful, as there may not be room in the van), please let us know in the comments below.

4. Your dancing shoes. You never know…

Q: “Wait. Where is this thing?”

Oh right. Directions for the locals. Check these out:

400 E Cosco Aina Trail
- Drive out past Lake Limerick on Mason Lake Rd.
- Pass the gun range* on your right.
- Turn LEFT onto a logging road** called “Duramen Trails”
- Follow that 1/4 mile to the gate.
- The code will be posted on the key pad.

* Of course.
** Also of course.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment. If you want a spot in the van, leave a comment & tell us how many seats you need. If [anything else], leave a comment.

See you Saturday!!
