Illinois Fall Paddle Party

Illinois Fall Paddle Party
October 16-18, 2015

Moraine View State Park near Bloomington in central Illinois has a nice lake for paddling and fishing. Bring your boats. If you'd like to paddle but don't have a canoe/kayak, the park has rentals available.

If you're not a paddler, there's still plenty to do. The park has some nice hiking trails and horseback rides. Hopefully we'll be in the first stages of fall color.

We'll do some kind of potluck both Friday and Saturday evening. It could be a chili dump, fish fry, etc. The rally is in the preliminary planning stages at this point.

What's important is that you go to ReserveAmerica.com and secure a campsite. We're trying to fill in the small loop by the lake which includes P13-P23 on the outside, and F1-F9 on the inside.

Some paddle, many don't.

At the summer Moraine View Rally we discussed doing a big chili dump for Saturday's main dish at the potluck.

For Friday I was thinking maybe a taco bar. Lay out all the ingredients to make tacos and burritos. That would be fun, but it might take too long with a lot of folks. We have a few months to discuss it.

STEVE; I notice that October 16th, the start of the fall Paddle Party, is also SOMEONES' BIRTHDAY. You wouldn't know who that is, would you?

I think a potluck both Friday and Saturday would be nice. I can smoke a pork butt for one of the meals so we'll have pulled pork for sandwiches. Also, chili always goes over well in the fall.

I think potlucks Friday and Saturday are a good idea, but it is too early to think about what to cook.....we need to know what the temps are going to be.

Those of us who are in on Thursday will probably gather for a little something, too, if only a drink and catch-up.

I hope the temps are cool and fall-ish. We need campfires. I will put the hitch hauler on the Interetate and bring some firewood.

There is always: Peppermint patties, cinnamon apples and taffy apples. Made with Cinnamon and butterscotch and peppermint schnapps. Maybe we should not advertise due to Illinois regs.

The initial date posted on the Punkin Chukin website appears to have been wrong
The correct date is the 24th. Bummer.
