Hey all, we are trying to lock down the dates of this year's Annual Guys camping trip.
We have had several people ask if we could move it to Labor Day weekend. We did this one year and it was crazy packed. It was still fun, but it was tough with all the people there.
The majority of the years, we have done it the weekend before Labor Day and it has been great.
You do not have to come for the entire time, some come out on Wednesday with us, some don't come until Thursday or Friday. S ome stay until Monday, others leave on Sunday. The main thing is that we would just love to have you all come out and join us for a great time with some great friends, eating some great food.
Here is the link from last year's event http://www.azbarbeque.com/smf/index.php?topic=515.0 We had 17 guys attend last year and we are hoping to have a lot more this year.
We had guys fly in from Pennsylvania, Texas & Phoenix last year and I'm sure there will be more flying in this year. If you wanted to fly, you would have to fly into San Luis Obispo airport, so check out how much it would cost to do that.
Most of us drive and come from all over, San Diego, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Northern California, etc.
It is a great time and we all have a ton of fun. Camping on the beach with the BBQ, eating like the Kings we are and enjoying some relaxing time together.
Hope to see you all there.

Hey all, after discussing this topic in detail with Ryan and a few other guys, the weekend of Labor Day just won't work. Too many obstacles to overcome.
So, the dates of Wednesday, August 22nd - Monday, August 27th will be the locked dates.
Wouldn't it be great if we could plan a BBQ Contest around it and have a BBQ Contest at the campsite there in Morro Bay? Would that entice you more into coming?
Let's explore this a bit... Thoughts??
-
I am in !!! I will be there this year !! I will probably come Thurs-Sun.Should be a great time ;D
-
Do you have a Head Judge for this here shindig?
-
Hopefully a BBQ contest will entice you and Kyle into coming out and joining us... ;) Then we would have an IBCA Head Judge... :P
-
We could get a few teams from California also LOL
Wouldnt that be wild? Great way to meet folks
-
That would be really awesome. I'm sure it would be really tough to get them to come out to a BBQ contest right by the beach... It's certainly roughing it. ::)
-
Guys, we are ready to start taking reservation deposits for this trip. If you are planning on going, we need a $50 non-refundable deposit so we can get enough campsites reserved. Don't wait until the last minute as there won't be any camp sites to secure, this is a popular campsite we go to and it is always reserved to capacity.
Hope to see you all there, we always have a great time and eat like kings.
E-mail, call or PM me for payment details.
Thanks,
Mike
-
I am in,I will get the money to you this week !
-
Sure would be nice to get junior wet. I know I asked this, but have you seen any surf there?
-
Oh yea, there is some good surf out there. Surfers are out there all day.
-
Mike,are we going to do some type of contest like you and Thom spoke of ? I was just wondering if I needed to bring just camping equipment or the smoker as well.
-
It doesn't look like it as the CBBQA has another big contest going on that weekend, but I'm sure Thom is still looking into it.
-
Mike,
Not sure whether that weekend will do, but if not, I may be able to at least get up to see you guys off.
-
Ken, I hope you are able to work it out and join us, even if only for a few days. Besides, you can't leave me with Pete as my Spades partner.... That would be cruel and Unusual punishment... :o
-
Hey all, I now have deposits from 4 guys who are now committed to attending.
Tim (BBQCZAR)
Me
Ryan(Devil Daddy)
George Algo (Admin)
Don't be shy, if you are planning on attending, we need to know ASAP so we can reserve the proper camp sites. They do go fast, so we need to get our reservations in ASAP.
Hope you can all join us. Last year we had 17 guys go, this year we are hoping for 25. This will be our 7th year doing this trip.
There is lots to do out there or nothing to do, whatever your choice is.
From playing football on the beach to sitting by the campfire.
From boogie boarding/Surfing to playing cards or dominoes.
From golfing to napping.
From drinking Beer to Drinking 20 year Scotch.
And of course, eating like Kings.

-
Don't forget ASU 1st Home Football Game of the Season.
Who are they playing that week, Cupcake State or Powderpuff Tech?
-
San Jose State is who we play...
UofA plays BYU...
ASU Should be 1-0 after that weekend, UofA should be 0-1... ;D
-
I think a friendly season long wager is in order here.
-
OHHHH, I like that idea. Whatever one has the better overall record???
-
Are any of you guys going to the Corn and Que?
-
San Jose State is who we play...
UofA plays BYU...
ASU Should be 1-0 after that weekend, UofA should be 0-1... ;D
San Jose is playing better ball than they were years ago
BYU is always fun to watch and they travel well
-
Jay, unfortunately due to the agreement we now have with ASU, we are committed there that weekend. I am bummed about missing the Corn and Que as I really had a great time out there last year.
Anyone who is looking for a fun contest in a great area of the state, make sure to check out this competition, it is really a great one.
-
Are any of you guys going to the Corn and Que?
Jay,I will be there,I missed it last year,but I will be there this year.Looking forward to it :)
-
We're already registered for the Corn & Que too.

Hey all, it's getting close to our Annual Guys Camping Trip. This will be our 6th year with it and each year it has gotten better and better. The dates for this year's trip are Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 through Monday, August 27th, 2007.
I would like to personally invite each of you to join us on this year's trip. Last year, we had 17 guys attend, coming from as far away as Pennsylvania and Texas.
We bring our Big BBQ Grills out there, spend the day playing cards, reading, golfing, relaxing, playing football on the beach and just enjoying life. It truly is a great time.
Most guys don't come for the entire trip due to work conflicts and such, so come from how ever many days you can. Some guys can't drive, so they fly. The closest city to our campsite is San Luis Obispo, so check out flights and prices and get your ticket locked down if you are going to do this. Let us know when you will be arriving and departing and we will work out getting you to and from the camp site.
I hope you all can attend and make this an annual event like we have for the past 5 years.
If you are planning on going, we need a $50 non-refundable deposit from you ASAP so we can secure the proper number of campsites.
Hope to see you all there,
Please call or e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns.

Just an FYI, the 10 day weather forcast for Morro Bay, CA is Low to Mid 60's for the High and Low 50's for the low...
I can't wait to get to Morro Bay for this year's Annual Guys Camping Trip....
Who else is planning on joining us??

Hey Guys,
These are some thoughts about the guys camping trip that we do every year. It really is a great time!
If you don't come this year you will only be another year older when you do finally come! Worse yet, you will regret one more year that you missed.
I don't want to be preachy about this, but when Mike and I set out to plan these events so long ago we only ever wanted to bring something good to our friends. While we do miss those who "can't" make it we have no regrets. For those that don't make it can you say the same? Can you honestly remember what you were doing on 25 August, 2002? I can and I will never forget it! I got to spend that time and make memories with very close friends whom I will love until the day I die. Do you remember what you did on 23 August, 2003? I can! I got to watch a life long friend's boy take his first steps into manhood. I got to see this young man and his father start to finally forge bonds that I know will stand the test of time. ( no matter how hard teenage life will be on them both) Can you remember what you did on Labor day 2004? I can. I found out that another life long friend was going to have major surgery and he was worried. On this trip I got to comfort him in his hour of need. At no other time had he opened up abut his concerns. Do you know what you were doing on 24 August, 2005? I do! I was with my very good friend who had spent a year and a half away from home defending our freedom in Iraq. He was forced to miss 2 trips due to his service in the Army. Do you think he was happy to be in Moro Bay that year? Hell yes he was. Do you think we were happy he was back home and able to join us? Hell yes we were! Do you remember what you were doing 26 August 2006? I do! I was listening to a very good friend discribe how he almost made a very bad decision that would have cost him his family. Again these are things that don't come up every day. There is somethig special about this trip and the men who come forge a bond that is stronger then steel!
Like I said, I will miss any of you that don't make it this year. But I will have no regrets. Will you?
-
Well,it's getting close ! Anyone want to hitch a ride with me either late wed or early Thurs. morning ? I can either take my truck or I can take my Tahao for more room too. I can leave either day,and come back on Sunday anytime.Also do we have a roll-call Mike or Ryan for who is coming so far ? Anybody want to get in on this e-mail me if you want to truckpool over.

Hey all, I'm going to be making the campsite reservations this week, so if you are planning on joining us, now is the time to let us know. One month to go. Don't miss out on this great trip. Friends, BBQ, Beer and Beach.... What's not to love...
-
OK, any other AZBarbeque Members planning on joining us out in Morro Bay for this great Annual Event?
We currently have 17 guys going. If you are contemplating it, but are unsure because you have not met us yet or don't know a lot of us, I would highly recommend that you do plan to join us. We had 4 new guys come last year and we have 4 new guys coming this year. It is a great time and everyone is really easy going and fun.
Can't beat the 50 degree weather in mid to late August. Plus, sleeping with the sound of the ocean all night is awesome.
Hope to see some more of you jumping in to go. ;)
-
56 Degrees in Morro Bay today.
Sure no one else wants to join us??
So far the menu consists of:
Cajun Shrimp
Tri Tip
Brisket
Pork Butts
Rib Eye Steaks
Hamburgers
Italian Sausages & Peppers
Ribs
Beer Can Chicken
Veggies

Hashbrowns
Eggs
Lots of great Eats...
We do eat like KINGS on this trip and it's all great food. Even if you can only come for a few days, make it happen, you won't regret it.
If you need to fly in, you want to fly into San Luis Obispo. Let us know when you are due in and we will pick you up.
2007 Guys Trip Motto.... "NO REGRETS!!!" Every year we get new guys attending and they all say the same thing... Wish I had not waited this long to join you guys. So, here's your chance, you never know what tomorrow holds, so come on out and join us this year and see what all the fun is about.
-
Only 2 weeks left.
Temp there today is 55 Degrees... I can't wait...
If anyone wants to order any items for this year's trip, you need to do it now. With production time and shipping time, you are cutting it close.
http://www.cafepress.com/guyscampingtrip
Anyone else planning on joining us?
-
55 degrees?? Is that Celsius??
Sounds like a really good time Mike. Especially the football part. I love playing football. You guys have a good time and have a beer for me.
-
;D Last year's Football game was a "Run Away"...
Pete had the ball, I went to tackle him and let's just say, I was able to grab his "Uniform (Shorts)". He got away.
And for some reason, no one else would try to tackle him and he was able to score. Glad we didn't have any photos of that.
You should try to join us Aaron, you would have a blast. Either way, I'm sure we will have a few beers for you. ;)
-
We will talk.
It does sound like a darn good time though. It just falls at a bad time for me as I am sure that you can understand.
-
Hey all, just an FYI, temps are predicted to be High of 66, low of 53 while we are out there.
Also, the campsite just booked out both Friday and Saturday nights, so there will be plenty of people there enjoying the smell of our great BBQ cooking.
Any one else tempted into going yet???
