I will see about bringing some apple cider and cinnamon sticks. I know I will be bringing some hot chocolate packets as well.

Well I am going to have Mel show me how to make the Atlatl never heard of this before. I think I would like to learn this one over the Bola.

You'll like the atlatl and I'm sure you will pick up on how to throw it quick. Throwing things seems to be your specialty! One thing about Atlatls is that the larger ones can be thrown over a football field's length with no problem.

Hey Phil can you do me a favor. I don't have long distance on my phone but I am wondering if the ferry is going to cost money to cross? I am not sure but I think this question needs to be answered. Do you think you can find out for me please. I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks for the tip I think I will build a smaller one.

I'll check on the ferry but I believe its free.

The Green River Ferry is free to use. It's open from 6:00AM to 9:55PM daily. When the water level is down, they move only one car at a time with no trailers.

If the weather is cool, Mulled wine is pretty good too. The alcohol is pretty much cooked off with the cinnamon sticks adding flavor. A nice warming drink. I've only had Lambrusco wine this way, but others SHOULD work too....I think.

My wife and I will be heading up from the Knoxville are so if there is anyone an hour or so drive in any direction needing a lift let me know.
EDIT: Phil I keep trying to PM you but the damn system keeps timing out on me. I want to know if you reserved the sites for the exact dates of the Jamboree or not?

Roar-k, the sites have already been reserved. I reserved sites 3 & 4 and Rick has reserved site 2. Each of these group sites are allowed to hold up to 24 people.
Currently the sites are reserved for the days of the rendezvous, Friday night & Saturday night. If there's people that want to arrive early, the sites can be reserved for additional nights. The same goes if you want to stay an additional night, Sunday night can be reserved.
Reservations can be made at: http://www.recreation.gov/campsiteFi...tractCode=NRSO

For anyone that hasn't checked out the campground you can go to the below link that will take you to Google Maps. Once the map is loaded, place the pointer over the Satellite tab and then click on the Earth tab to get an aerial photograph of the area. We have the sites that make up the lower half of the loop. The whole place is surrounded by trees.

Important UpdateDue to an unexpected obligation I will no longer be able to attend this year's rendezvous. Because of this I must cancel the reservations for camp sites 3 & 4 that were in my name. This still leaves campsite 2 registered in Rick's name, which can hold up to 24 people. At this time the one site will be sufficient for the number of people planning to attend. I'm sorry I can't make this year's rendezvous, the past two years were great. PHIL

We're sorry, too, Phil. You will be missed.

Sorry that you won't be able to make it Phil.
I snagged camp 3. We will have plenty of room. I thought it might be expediant.
Right now the Green River Ferry is down for maintainance. We need to keep up with that situation as time closes in.
I had real difficult time deciding how to discribe this group. They have one section for what kind of group it is but they did not have "ugly" as one of the options.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Gimpy, slow and infuriating were not on there either so I just checked "other" when I filled mine out.

What? Ruggedly handsome wasn't on there either?
