Anything can happen between now and Next Thursday but Dana and I are penciled in for the trip East. We'll have the Hurricane in tow. Really hope we can make this trip happen and catch up with everyone.

Hey Guys,

Not looking good for me this year. I have a meeting down in Tennessee that is conflicting with my schedule. I'd be a long shot for maybe Saturday. But again not looking good.

Not happy about the situation at all. This will be the first Connecticut reunion that ive missed.

Eric, I am going up after work on Saturday, I get out at 5pm and I am planning on staying late as possible on Sunday. While everyone else will be there early Saturday morning.

As promised, here are the details I have been promising to provide. Just over a week out!

For any newcomers, this event is hosted at my family’s place on Tyler Lake. Address: 52 Sandy Beach Rd, Goshen, CT. Accomodations are pretty spartan, but we have a big, flat lawn, so you are more than welcome to bring a tent and set up camp. We’ll have a few porta-potties on site. Goshen is a small town and there arent any hotels/motels close by, so I don’t have any recommendations for those who don’t want to camp, unfortunately- but Im sure there are options within a reasonable drive if you google it. PM me if you want to run options by me- I can provide my thoughts on general areas to seek out (or avoid).

The cottage is in the middle of a fairly large, shallow (sandy) cove. We have several docks and anchors, but would encourage everyone bringing a boat to bring their own moorings. There is a public launch located across the lake, approx address is Park Rd, Goshen, CT. There are only a few parking spots available there and no docks- just FYI. There is no gas on the lake and the nearest station is 15+ min away, so fill up on your way into town- Torrington and Litchfield are your closest options.

Parking is a bit of a challenge, as the cottage is at the bottom of a large hilly driveway. Therefore, we ask that people park at the top of the driveway and walk down. Feel free to come down first and unload if necessary! For those bringing boats, there is limited room to turn around at the bottom with a trailer… so probably best not to attempt it unless you’ve cleared it with me first. We have dedicated trailer parking near the ramp in my sister Sage’s yard, address: 27 Tyler Lake Heights, Goshen CT

Looks like we’ll have a good crowd here as early as Thurs PM. The weekend will be full of watersports- there will be no shortage of skis, ropes, etc, but feel free to bring any and all gear as well. Especially trick skis!

I think that’s pretty much it... I will post up food/supplies info in a minute.

I have a pretty good handle on attendees and their arrival times… we’re looking at roughly 30 people here by Thurs night for dinner, up to 40 by lunch on Fri, peaking at just over 60 by lunch on Sat, and holding 50-something through Sun afternoon. Here is what we’re looking at for meals. Volunteers to provide the items in bold would be great!

Menu:

Thurs night: pizza (takeout)

Fri breakfast: egg sandwiches
Fri lunch: Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and side salads
Fri dinner: chicken casserole, steak tips (thanks Bruce!), salt potatoes, side salads, corn, etc.

Sat breakfast: bagels, muffins, fruit salad
Sat lunch: cold cut sandwiches, chips
Sat dinner: pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, mac&cheese, corn

Sun breakfast: egg casserole
Sun lunch: Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and side salads
Sun dinner: leftovers


That makes the list of stuff we need as follows… feel free to volunteer:

Foods:
Hamburgers + cheese + buns (~150)
Hotdogs + buns (~150)
Salt potatoes
Chips (~20 bags)
Corn (~100 ears)
Mains or sides to add to the meals above
Juice (breakfasts)

Sat Breakfast:
Bagels + cream cheese
Muffins
Fruit Salad

Ancilliary stuff:
Solo cups (~300+)
Styrafoam cups (~200)
Paper Plates (~500)
Paper bowls (~100)
Napkins
Paper towels
Plastic forks (~200, we’re good on spoons and knives)
Heavy duty trash bags


Things everyone can bring
Coolers
Ice
Beverage of choice
(advil)

We’ll have coffee going for the mornings.

I think we're ok on grills Greg- we can move them around semi-locally if need be- we have options.

I'll quote the list in my next post for people to use as a sign up sheet... For those who have mentioned what they're bringing but didn't say how much, I'll ballpark the quantities I think you're grabbing- feel free to make corrections!

Tim,
Put me down for the corn- fresh from Gary's farm stand.
You have at least one but I'll bring my propane burner and large pot too.

Additionally, sign me up for the following:

Solo cups (~300+):
Styrafoam cups (~200):
Paper Plates (~500):
Paper bowls (~100):

We don't plan to arrive till Friday evening- if you'll need the above items for dinners Thursday and Friday then I can swap with something/ someone else.

Brad, I assume you'll be in time for dinner fri (at least shooting for it)? Ha.

We'll need some of the basics early on, so how about reduce the count of solo cups and plates by 100 and styraFoam cups by 50? Someone else coming earlier can backfill. Sounds good on the corn and the propane burner- that'll make 3 and probably not unwarranted!

Anybody from my area want to jump in its just me and the '95 in tow.

Also Joe said anybody coming from the west want to hit him up for a stop over then caravan in with us is welcome.
Let's make it happen.

Tim I'm planning on popping up the tent somewhere/anywhere. if I can bring anything drop me a PM. I will double check with you before I head out.


Hey Paul, when are you leaving PA to head to Joes? Might be able to make it work from IN.

I had to cancel the stop over at Joes due to a change with work. I'm still hoping to make the trip if all goes well I will be heading straight to Tim's Thursday. Fingers crossed at this time.

I know, was able to shift things around. Tried to get the family onboard but my daughter is starting kindergarten on the 20th and I guess it's not the best time to pull her out before starting, not now at least

Guys, seeing all of these pre travel posts makes me sad as I won't be making the trip this year. Family and work obligations prevail.

To those of you who will be there though, have a great time and please post some pics.

Tim- We hope to arrive before dinner Friday. But just in case we don't make it in time I wanted to make sure you guys had all the supplies you'd need ahead of time. So, I just ordered them all from Staples.com and they should be arriving at your lake house well ahead of your first guest. I'll forward you the tracking # as soon as the order ships.

No need to edit quantities or shift to anyone else- we're all set.

Last flight out on Sun is 6:40 or if someone wants to drop me off Monday whenever that works for me too. Looking fwd to this one guys as always. Hoping for great weather at this point.
