Future BBQ Run?
« on: July 11, 2020, 10:05:29 pm »
I was watching Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs TV show tonight and he was in Gray, Ga. cleaning the equipment of Old Clinton BBQ Restaurant.  Old Clinton was named Best BBQ in Georgia. 

Gray is located between Milledgeville and Macon.  It would make a nice Saturday or Sunday cruise.  Maybe down Hwy 11 from Bethlehem, or maybe Lawrenceville or Loganville. 

From Bethlehem, or Lawrenceville, it's about a 2 hour drive.  Bethlehem is just 1 highway all the way, but from Lawrenceville, there are at least 4. 

Maybe do it the third weekend of August?

Been there.  They're good.

Count me in.  Probably meet up with y'all when you cross I-20.

Maybe if yellow 86SE and AeroDonamic are on the road by then, we can loan out our extra Fieros to those who don't have one and really make a showing. 

I looked at the place on google street view and there's a really long area right along the front of the lot where we could park the cars. 

It looks like Saturday would be a better day.  Sunday hours appear to be from 10 to 4.

I also have more Fieros than I can drive at any one time. BBQ sounds good.

I've been trying to decide upon a good location where everyone can meet.  For those who even mignt be thinking of going, would Pleasant Hill Road near Gwinnett Mall be a suitable place to meet?  From there, we could easily access GA. 316 to Bethlehem to pick up on Ga. 11 all the way to Gray. 
(See new suggested meeting place below.  709 Christmas Ave. (Ga. Hwy 11) Bethlehem, Ga.)

Ga. Hwy 11 would have the fewest traffic lights that could break up the caravan.  I realize that it's a good distance for some to get there, but I think it's the most direct route without a lot of different turns onto different roads.  Some might want to meet us at I-20 East and Hwy 11.  Return to the Atlanta area can be done via I-75.

I've been rethinking about where the group could gather to start our caravan to Old Clinton's BBQ. 

Since we have the possibility of people coming from a widespread area, there's no need for anyone to have to backtrack after we meet up.  We will all be traveling down Georgia Hwy 11 through Bethlehem, Ga.

When traveling East on Ga. Hwy 316 and turning left (South) onto Ga. Hwy 11, there is a large church on the right.  Bethlehem UMC.  709 Christmas Ave. (Hwy 11) Bethlehem, Ga.  There is a large driveway where we can meet.  I think this would be better than having persons drive from the east side of the state, then have to back track.  It wouldn't be out of the way for out Atlanta west and north members and is much easier to find than the area at Pleasant Hill Road. 

How about 10 AM?

I just spoke with the people at the restaurant, and they aren't allowing inside dining, but the tables out front under the porch shelter are available.

August 15.  The Saturday after the club meeting.  You won't be back in time.

I didn't know I was going.  Somebody put the BBQ place further from me than the Duluth Diner.

It would be torture, anyways.  I cannot eat solid food for 2 weeks.

Pictures are a great idea, though.
