The Ulitmate Tailgate
As the Clemson football season comes to a close (at least as far as me going to games is concerned), I felt it would be a good time for the preparations for future seasons to begin. After going to several different tailgates this season, I thought it'd be fun to plan one of my own using some of the best ideas from all of them--and hopefully some suggestions from you. If I had a million dollars, I'd have to run out and buy an SUV to carry everything, but since I don't, I'm going to make plans based on having my Jeep.
I decided that the list got to big for a blog entry, so Click here to see the list. There's lot of pictures for those of you who, like me, don't like to read really long entries!
Let me know what you think!
