JJ, I didn't take any pictures of the ribs or the seafood gumbo. So you know "No pics didn't happen". The gumbo recipe i got from eman, and the ribs are the same way I have been doing them for some time. BB's 3-1.5-.5, with your foiling sauce, and cranking the temp up in the WSM for the last 1/2 hour.

AND NOW... "THE REST OF THE STORY"

I did a head count during the Sat. nite dinner and came up with 37 people, 9 of those were the judges and campground faculty. So that means we had 28 SMF members and their guests, THATS AWESOME for the first time. I'm so glad I had the chance to put names with faces, make new freinds, and learn a few things as well.

I don't know what happened (could of been alcohol, naaaaaaa) but I didn't get any pics of the ribs either. I did manage one pic of mine coming off the smoker



Here's the judges showing their professionalism during the ribs and special dish compitition





AND THE WINNERS ARE



Al for the ribs and his wife Judy for the special dish (seafood gumbo) or was It Al's special dish and Judy was his trophy girl ?? Ha haaaa

All three winners



Having fun and getting full

Mr. and Mrs. Turnip Mockely



Mr. and Mrs. Rubbin Butts



Mr. and Mrs. Smokin Al



Mr. and Mrs. Young One and family



Mr. and Mrs. Frog Creek Outpost



and others







And finally winding down, Sunday morning, the last of the Mohicans

My wife Charlotte and her dog Minnie, Doug, Bill, and Turnip



Hope I didn't bore y'all with the pics. Again I must say thanks to all that attended and hope to see ya next year. Hopefully there will be more attendys next time around.

Man, that lookee like fun; wonder if there are enough people to have one in North Ohio next summer? I live in a charming little Town with lots of Camping and Fishing right here, within 2 miles of town.

My FIL is the Mayor and I'm sure I can get a park to use, if not the Camp ground is at the edge of town.

Would love to meet some of you guys....;}-

Hey ya'll

Just joined the Forum. First, I would like to thank Keith (JckDanls 07) for introducing me to this forum, and welcoming me to join him and Charlotte to the 1st South Florida Gathering. What an excellent time I had meeting a lot of great people like Doug, Al & Judy, Turnip, Craig, Ron, and James just to name a few. I would like to thank all of you for letting me join in the Rib Competition. It was an awesome time. Looking forward to being a member of this Forum.

Thanks again everyone. Had a great time.

WOW, all those So. Fla. folks can party like Texans.  Looks seriously like a huge, well organized, weekend event that could go national! 

All the food looks great, good to see some of the various rigs people have, and all the smiling faces.  Great JOB everyone!
