When I first started reading this thread, I thought maybe it was separate from the original so it could be in memorial of Derek Stimeling: "I'm going, no wait, I can't, I mean, yes I'm going, maybe."

Anyway, I am going, and it's Jill's fault
plus I want to see somewhere different.

[vlucdog]

Jill, are you camping and if so do you have a campsite?

Fraser, same ?

[todd watkins]

There will be 4 rigs coming from down south. We will also be camping.

I just called to make reservations at the campground and she said it is first come first serve. She said they will have plenty of room that weekend. I guess I don't understand how they know that when people don't make reservations. Oh well.

BUT... If you are planning on staying in a cabin, you MUST make reservations.

[Matt Brown]

Yeah they told us that last year and we almost didn't get enough spots. Post up a guestimate of when you expect to get there and we may see about getting the person that will be arriving first money to camp so we can have all the spots together. This is what we ended up having to do last time or we would have been seperated all over the place.

[BMAC]

I'm planning on coming with maybe one other. Doubt I will camp though....probably a Saturday morning arrival and Saturday evening departure.

[Jill Martin]

Camping that I know of is:

Matt and crew need 4 full hookup sites for 2 nights
(I) Jill needs 1 full hookup site for 2 nights
Fraser needs 1 full hookup site for 2 nights

I plan on getting to the campground around 7:30 on Friday night.

Jill

[vlucdog]

Bill needs 1 full hook up site for 2 nights. (fri&sat)

[alkat]

kat & i are in, we have a room reserved at the sullivan inn for fri. & sat. nite. we called about the cabins with water at the camp ground but were told they were on hold for repairs.
what time will everyone be getting to the park on sat morn., about 9;am ?

[Matt Brown]

OK, one week to go... now we need to make food plans. We will be bringing the stove and pans to do breakfast at camp on saturday and sunday morning. Let it be known what you want to eat, we will probably do eggs, bacon and sausage of some sort. If there is interest, we could do hot dogs/pork burgers at the park for lunch. Any suggestions on supper for Saturday night? There is a good italian/pizza place in town the we hit last year if we decide to not fix supper at camp.

[alkat]

the italian/pizza on sat nite sounds good.

[vlucdog]

Vic and I vote for pizza sat night. Your breakfast plans sound good to us. let me know what i need to bring to help out.

[todd watkins]

This is our plans. We are staying in Danville thursday nite.Friday we are hitting the cover bridge festival along route 41 heading south.then finally arriving at Sullivan days inn that nite and leaving sunday morning.

[Jill Martin]

I just called and asked if we could bring firewood. The answer was NO. The wood has to be from Sullivan County.

[Jill Martin]

After thinking about the wood situation, I was thinking..... So I called and asked if we could bring lumber. The answer was YES!! So if you have some old lumber sitting around throw it in.
