Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
Hello all! I figured since this is my first long-distance jeep trip with the club, that I'd start a thread for this trip. The MIJC calendar has the date set as the 3rd- 5th of September. A couple of us are going to head down on the 2nd of September to do some exploring beforehand... Nonetheless, I'm excited!

Spitzer I checked on the cabins and they are all booked for the dates we are looking at. It looks like we are going to have to camp after all.

Re: Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
We used to stay in Aurora KY.
It is a short drive to Turkey Bay from there.
You may want to check there too.

Re: Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
I think that's what we are going to end up doing. So it'll be 5 of us in a cabin with 3 Jeeps

Re: Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
Will Turkey Bay be open by then? Their website says they are closed due to storm damage.

Re: Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
It has been years since we have been there.
Lots of hills, not really too tough.
No mud, as I said they will close the trails if they have too much rain.

Re: Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
LBL was always my favorite place to go. Anyone remember Bruder in the parking lot getting soaked cause he went in the "little" puddle?

Re: Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
Yep.
What about the time his Jeep took off with him half in?
The waitress who looked at Jill like she was crazy when she asked for syrup for her hush puppies.

I will call Turkey Bay in the morning to make sure they are still open.
We are also planning on leaving on Friday sometime.

Re: Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
I just called Turkey Bay. They are open!
It is a recording so hopefully it is up to date.
What town is everyone staying in?
Do you want to meet up at Turkey Bay on Saturday morning?
Oh and to let people know, last time we were there it was a dry county.
If you want adult beverages, for after wheeling, plan on bringing them with you.

Awesome!!! Good to hear. I believe my group (Mike, Ron, and myself) is staying in Aurora. Mike can confirm. Saturday morning meeting at Turkey bay would work for me. How early we talking? Dry county okay with me --> (This guy is not 21 ).
