I'm a great lakes guy... Boat it in the summer Cross my fingers and cross it on sled in the winter..
 
Never been there, but I figure it'll take my F-350 about $550.00 worth of diesel for the round trip to drag the Exciter. "T" says she's in if we go so ya'll take up a collection and I'll bring the crawfish and shrimp and we'll all have a boil on the shores of Lake Frozen...I mean Michigan next summer... :)
 
Lol!!! Hell yeah!! ...and you will, tooo!!!!

Hey Redboat, I have family up in Glen lake and plan on towing Pinky up there next summer. Love that Area, can't wait to get to hang out on the water instead of driving around it.
 
Hot sauce...in MICHIGAN??? Haa! Getta Rope!!! Hehehe!

All B.S. aside, I've tried to leave S.La. on more than one occassion. There are alot of BETTER places I'd could live, but I keep coming back becuase there is NO BETTER food on earth than right down here. We know how to cook and we know how to eat. I really enjoy cooking for folks that are not from these parts and seeing their enjoyment. I would really enjoy doing a boil for you guys.
 
I have co worker who throws a great party each May. He'd order up 100 lbs of crawlfish, 50 lbs of gator, and fry smelt all day.And everyone brings all types of dishes to pass. I'm good for a few crawlfish (tails only) 100's of people show up early.


P.S. My brother lived down in Morgan City(diver on the oil rigs) for a few yrs back in 80's. I made it down there a few times and over to Or'leans once.
 
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about.... they say "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roule"...or translated, "Let the good times roll"

Last week, at my buddy's home up in the mountian's outside of Gatlinburg, Tn., he and I put on a shrimp boil for some of his friends from up there and a few of our buds from down here. It was so much fun. I had made a big pot of New Orleans Red Beans to bring up there for dinner one night. One of his buddies from Tenn. had to have the left-overs to take home. I was laughing my butt off. This guy loved the beans. Oh, and the Shrimp? It's like they had never seen boiled shrimp. There were NO left-over shrimp. 40 lbs....GONE!!!!
 
What States and areas is this going to cover fellas?

It seems like we've got support, so give me the areas and we'll get 'er done. :thumb:
