Group Hug Tour - Cinco de Mayo

[Jim Troyer]

I'm re-posting and re-naming this thread since it fell off the list.

Nothing has changed.

We are still planning a Group Hug - invitation only AZ AP group members sequential visit. 

Ask and you will be invited!

On Cinco de Mayo (5/5/2013) our tour starts around 11 AM in Scottsdale with 2 systems, then out to Gilbert for a mature green house system, then over to Baseline and Central for two more systems.  Then north up I-17 to the  Loop101 to the "hoop house" system and back down to the north side of Camelhead via Sunny slope for two more systems and a BBQ at David's luxury digs.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

David & Jim

We would love to go!

So...what happened to the original thread?
We'll provide 6 pounds of home-grown, grass fed hamburger meat for the BBQ.

[David Schwinghamer]

Sheri,

Its still there but not shown anymore, too much newbie, mushrooms and moving fish. You cant be serious with that much burger meat, all I gotta say is WOW, you guys are the best!

[Jim Troyer]

@ Sheri:

You have to hit "view all" to find it now.  So I just bumped it up a rung...

[Sheri Schmeckpeper]

Thanks. I scrolled through, but didn't see it. Sometimes I don't see my hands before my face, either. ;)

So...we need a general idea of how many are coming and we need other things to go with the meat, like buns, condiments, side dishes, drinks and paper goods.  Anything else?

[Jim Troyer]

@ Sheri

Cerveza fria por favor!   It is Cinco de Mayo after all...

I'm bringing 'tater salad too!

[Sheri Schmeckpeper]

Si, cerveza tambien! Es muy importante!  :)

[David Schwinghamer]

Important beer, I get some! 

Jim is bringin some tater salad and Matt wants to throw in some weiners.

I think this will happen, finally!

I am very interested in attending.  Any idea about how long this will run?  I typically have to work but I am trying to get someone to cover me so I can attend this.  

Total newbie here....thanks for the invite.

Hi jim
Thank you for your "friend" invitation a few days ago.
I just looked at the tour for the first time and would like to participate.
It sounds really interesting to see so many systems and meet other fellows.
I am going to put a few pictures of our system on my profile.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Manfred

Based on what I have read from our two discussions the list below is the people that want to go. Please let me know if I have missed any life partners or friends that want to go. It sounds like we have the food plan done, its time to finalize things.
