Okay...I called again to confirm...now they said that we will need to call Saturday morning to reserve the spots we need for the camp site...being that we are only camping overnight they can't take reservations now...

I'm having a map of the camp grounds faxed to me and i will scan it and post it here...so those of you going...watch this post...

also, Tom...are you still bringing that extra tent? thanx

anything is fine, can we have fires there? Also, what time is all this gonna start

Sterling

If we can't have catfish, then burgers, dawgs, beans and beer is great by me.

I'm in.
I want you all to know that I'm passing up ten days in Hatteras fishing off the shore for flounder @ 5 am and lounging on the beach after my beer-batter breakfasts every day for this!!!

(...acctually I got so much work to do, I'm lucky to steal away for this. The wife & baby are going to NC with my folks.)

Sterling

...Maybe I will bring a carb so I can demonstrate to you and Bob that hooking up the vac. box does NOTHING for mech. sec.s.
-NOTHING, DAMNIT...NOTHING!!!!

why don't you try it before saying it won't work
its not like this is some little thing you can *sort of* notice, its a night and day difference dude. Try it and you'll see.

Tom

Extra tent will be thrown in the car..
As far as food goes- I'm game for anything. And speaking of game- I've got homemade sausage, both pork and venison as well as lots of various cuts of meat in the freezer. However- lugging a lot of food will take up serious space in the RX7.

I'm open for whatever.. Burgers and beans or roasted pork loin and fixings. If we have a decent size group of people, maybe we could just settle on a menu and divide up the shopping list. However you guys wanna eat is fine by me. I can always make room for some good food

Here is the fee schedule for the camping...I would think we would qualify for the group camping...I'll confirm that today...

I now have the maps but they are poor quality because it was faxed over...I'm trying to find a way to get a hold of them soon to post where...

Questions needing to be answered:

1. I'll need contact info from those going...please PM it to me. Cell and email

2. Since its just an overnight thing I was thinking of keeping the food / drinks issue simple...Burgers, hotdogs, chips and soda (i'm checking if beer is allowed) let me know what you guys think...

3. Being that we are only staying 1 night, we might not be able to get the best of all campsites...while the one we are getting should be nice...it might not be as convenient as the others like, showers or toilets might be a quick walk or drive...(no biggie since its only 1 night anyways...)

Okay people...here is some more info...

I actually got to reserve a spot...the site can hold upto 50 people...I paid $50 to reserve it...so I'm hoping you guys would be able to split that cost with me...the more people the less each of us will pay...unfortunately...no more than 50 people though...inwhich i doubt we'll get close to that...

Restrooms are very close by and showers are across a road at another campsite near by.

Campfires are allow and a grill is already in place for that.

NO ALCOHOL...sorry...

No pets either...they might be mauled by the bears

Tom

No Achohol? That's just downright un-American to go camping and not have libations at hand! We'll have to bribe the ranger.

Anyway- I'll pitch in for the sidte- no prob.

inittab

Sure but will it hold 50 1st Gens? Now THAT is the question. hehe

iTrader: (18)

bob your not going, get out of our thread
50 people is a big site, isn't our list at like 10 right now?

inittab

Add one more to that list, I might just make it.

Sterling

...I may not. Still trying.

Tom

Geez Sterling..are the fish calling your name all the way from Hatteras?

Let's hear some input on my favorite subject.. the food menu!

Lt. Dan

I'm goin!!! Pickin' up the FB from the paintshop TOMORROW!!!

Dan

Are you camping Dan? And bob, are you really gonna be able to make it?

Sterling

Tom, did YOU make the venison sausage? Cause I wanna try THAT!

The menue?
MEAT! Must have fresh (unfrozen) MEAT!

^bump^...

i got more info in the mail today from the campsite...sorry i mentioned before that it was free cuz it isn't...but it is just a few bucks to pay back for the reservation i made...hopefully you guys won't mind

anyways...i need people to start sending me their info...like cell numbers and names...also, if you guys have the 2 way radio's we could use that once you guys get within range to start finding ourselves...


can i get a role call on who's going either here or those going can you PM me your cell and name info? thanx!

Tom

Sterling- Yup- all the venison sausage and salami is home made. Even have fresh (frozen) pork breakfast sausage too.
Really we are only concerned about what, a dinner and maybe a breakfast?

What about BBQ chicken for dinner? That's not hard to fix and we can buy chicken for cheap (and it goes great with beverages contained in sport bottles ).
Corn on the cob and maybe some baked beans or some potato salad and a cool watermelon for desert? Standard summer camping fare right there...

We can do eggs and sausage in the a.m. or everyone can bring their own (like a granola bar or somethin).

Bizzaro- sent you a p.m.

bizarro

iTrader: (1)

wow tom! i guess i know who's coming with me to the grocery store! what time will you be in the area?

thanx for the info tom...now if everyone else who's showing up could only give up some info to make sure no one gets lost...

You know i'm in so I'll spare you the pm, we're still meeting at my house first I'm assuming right? Do you think we should make a new thread about this? Sometimes when people see the old thread pop up they ignore it. Just a thought. And like he said, what time is everyone gonna start showing up?

Tom

Me and my pal planned to leave around 6-7a.m. Saturday morn. That would put us there around lunch time.
Let me know what time everyone plans to get there so we can adjust if necessary.

Sterling

Are we going to bother doing breakfast in the AM at the site, or should we hit somewhere on the way?
(I'm gauging interest because I may volunteer to make breakfast, but I'm not wasting my time carting eggs and sauge around if everyone's just gonna hit the diner, knowaddamean?)

Also, you have an address for the campgrounds?
The Fairgrounds is only 100 miles from me, so I'll be at the campsite early.
