Last year I camped at this same campground in mid October. The Green River was down to low for the ferry. So when the ferry is out you have to come in from the north. You get off on I65 north of the Mammoth Cave at Hwy 88. Then it's some country roads back. It takes a good extra 30 minutes. You might want to call the park Friday.

Here's actually a phone number you can call while you are still on the highway. (270)758-2166 The Ferry closes at 9:55pm if it's running.
Yeah, but what about the car boat? (snort, giggle)

You're going to eat Kyratshooter????
Recession; A period when you go without something your Grandparents never heard of.
Nah. Too old and tough.
Do you folks mind if I stop by even tho it may only be for a day? I'm working on my schedule to work in a trip and visit my family and take in some time at the get together. I've been a bit reluctant to make a commitment because when I do work goes nuts. Sometimes it's a good plan, (things slow down so I make commitments and wala the phone starts to ring off the hook) that's not taught in business 101 LOL.
Of course we'd love to have you stop by or spend the weekend - whatever you are able to swing.
I will have you know that my body fat content would make me quite suitable for a slow roast with heavy basting potential. By the time you melted me down you would have seasoning for the weekend and enough bio-desil for the trip home!
Last week they said the ferry was down until further notice. Better check on that before you leave.
KENTUCKY ALSO HAS A BAN ON BRINGING FIREWOOD ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER. EMERALD ASH BORER INFESTATIONS ARE THE REASON.

If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
For me - another 30 minutes added to the drive won't really make much of a difference. Since I won't be crossing the Ohio River I wonder how they feel about oak from Florida?
I don't think there's a ban on Formosan Termites or Fire ants. You're good to go.

Bump.
Any others able to fill out some of the Saturday evening meal?
And another note to those traveling in from the north. The Interstate 64 bridge over the Ohio has been closed for about 6 months do the structural problems. The only other bridge that crosses the Ohio at Louisville at I65 has a 3-4 hour wait because of the increased traffic load. So you may want to cross at another location.
And yes, we need takers on the Saturday evening meal. Thank you, Crash.

Well I hate to do this but like my friend Phil I have to back out of the jamboree. I have a series of operations that I have to undergo and had been putting it off until after the Jamboree and summer chores were done. Unfortunately, things have progressed a bit and I have to start MRI's on Friday and meet with the surgeon on the 12th. I would imagine the first one will be the week of the 16th. As it stands I wouldn't be able to make the trip or do much while I was there. So it's better that I just go ahead and get things done. Being a trophy husband is so darn demanding.
I've cancelled my reservation for G002, which is the group camping space. If someone wants to pick it up it should be available.

I still have campsite 3 reserved. It can accomodate up to 25 by the park rules.
I sure hate to miss meeting you Rick! I was sort of looking foreward to putting a face with a name on the computer.

I don't want to disappoint you so here's a recent pic.

Bummer re. surgery, Rick. But I can see now why you might need it sooner than later.
Just make sure you don't make the surgeon laugh while he's holding the scalpel.
