Blue Ridge Beemers

Chase away the January doldrums with a bonfire! This Saturday, weather permitting, we'll be having a bonfire here and grilling some stuff. Anyone local is free to drop by. Nothing major, just a big fire (we need to get rid of some brush) and some beer and grillable stuff. BUT please let me know if you're planning to drop by because I should know these things (I'm sure it will be helpful somehow).

In fact I was going to NOT tell you how to get here, just so you'd need to contact me, but here goes: 670 Rio Road East, Charlottesville. We are right across from the sign for the Catholic School, three houses south of Pen Park Road. Sometime after dark.

295-0496. Stay tuned for weather updates that might change everything.

I'll be in C'ville, so I'll try to stop by for a beer.

We came, we burned, we drank, we ate. Meredith's folks were visiting, Chuck and his family (Suzanne and Eliza) showed up, Steve (our realtor), Dan and Debby, Neal, Steven and Cathy... and us. I think that's it. Lit a big old fire, stood around and drank some beer and talked motorcycling. About eight thirty we retired to the house to grill stuff. I guess the temperature was below freezing starting in the late afteernoon, but it wasn't that bad being outside.

Despite a bit of disorganization, things worked out pretty well and we have plenty of wood left so maybe in another month we'll do this again.

I'm sure I misspelled a lot of names so please post corrections!
