..bout time....
a CAR CAMPING / DAY HIKING TRIP...So you can bring the grill, a cooler or two, fill a pickup with Fire Wood....Pit toilets, water from a tap, a fishing pier, and within a hundred yards, full toilet/shower facilities with hot water and flush toilets....

All that and all the hiking in Sipsey ya kin crowd into a three or four day weekend.....
(NOTE: Each site is $5.00 per day, with Picnic tables, Lantern Stands, Grills and Fire Rings). No water or electric although water is available from stand pipes in three or so locations within the campground.

Stovie this one is for you Bro...bring the Teardrop and a chair and cuddle up next to the Far.....

Did I mention this is a good place for a creek boat kayak?

stomper - after 4/15 or later? As there is a good bit of bushwhacking involved, I would rather it take place before it warms up and the snakes are out and about.

div - what creek are you referring to...Brushy itself?

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that stomper is an accountant and is worried about his own taxes.

It looks like this is the opening weekend of the kids spring break. I'll just have to see what we have planned for the holiday. Last year we wanted to go beach camping but reservations were full. We'll see about this year. I probably won't know until January sometime, but hope I can make it.

fill a pickup with Fire Wood...ToyBoy

Careful! Someone might be coming from the land of the imported emerald ash borer or the gypsy moth! These bastards will get there quick enough on their own without hitchhiking a ride from someone.

interesting...I have never bought wood on any car camp trip. I look for wood on the way to the campground, set up and go cut some up.

But I won't look a gift horse in the mouth...

True. Blood/gore, mud-butts and strolling just don't go together, do they?

Cheers!

No and I hate to admit it but the real reason is a complete and utter breakdown in my scene control. I have to dog-sit that weekend so Down Booties can go to an art show with her mother.
