I know you said byob, but is there anything else you suggest we should bring such as folding chairs, citronella candles, or maybe some snacks?

Snacks are you call. I will provide chairs, fire, and have two citronella candels, also will have bug spray for thoes that rather use that. The bugs normally aren't bad.

I saw that Twigs you wrote "Snacks are you call. "... is the fire safe/okay to bring materials for cooking/making smores and/or hotdogs? (like with a stick or a wire hanger)?

Yes that is all good. But it is a 6 foot pit. Not sure what kind if cooking supplies you are planning on bringing

Thanks for the note about the 6ft pit! I think all I'd bring is a wire hanger and some hot dogs and marshmallows , so I figure that should be no problem, right?; I have or can get all those (wire hanger, hot dog, marshmallows)..... now that I think more about it, I don't have the utensil for making smores though, so probably no smores....

When you get here the front of the house and porch will be locked up. Follow the candles around back and down the hill to the back yard. From there you shall see the fire. The motion lights "should" turn on.
