A pretty good group of people forming, looks like it's going to be a good time. Looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting many new ones. The time will start to pass quickly now, I hope many more of you can join us.

I think I can fit my backpacking tent in my checked bag, but a sleeping bag will be a problem, due to its bulk. Anyone have one I could borrow? This desert dweller has no cold tolerance.
I'm also bringing fixings for mesquite pancakes with prickly pear syrup. Any other requests?
Grrlscout - It's no problem for me to bring a sleeping bag for you. If you need anything else just let me know. Even if you want to reduce your load by leaving your tent at home, I can bring a tent for you. It is absolutely no problem, I'm glad to do it.

I'm sure that between Krat and I we'll have an extra sleeping bag or two.

I don't know about you all, but I'm starting to get hungry. I can smell the cooking fires already. (hint, hint, Crash!)

Count me in. I will be there as I already have the weekend scheduled for the Jamboree.
Also I meant to post this for you all in regards to firearms:
There is a new federal policy that allows concealed weapons permit owners to carry firearms into Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. I believe it started January 9th of this year.
Before this law came to be you could only transport into the park in your car unloaded and stored. So if you have a CCW or one from a state that has a reciprocal agreement with the 3 states that touch the park you can carry your handgun leagally.
If people are interested in shooting I can probably get access to a local range.
Oh, and if anyone needs a ride within an 1 - 1.5 hrs let me know. Also, I may have a +1, but as of now just myself.
Glad you can make it.

Anything in particular that needs to be brought? Throwing tomahawks? Sling shots? Blow guns? Extra tarps?
A couple of people will need some extra gear. So far Krat and I seem to have it covered. You could do like me - just bring everything. For me - I'm just happy getting together and wandering around the woods with my camera. We'll do some meal planning for Saturday evening as we get closer.

Im broke too...
It can be hard these days to spend any amount of money on anything that isn't an necessity. I'm also a person of limited funds, I've been saving for this trip for a while now. I've attended two of the past three gatherings and found them a very much worth my time and money. It gives you a deeper prospective into the forum. I've made some good friends whiles sitting around those campfires. The group that is forming this year is a good one and I expect many more will attend. What makes it special is that you're not expected to be there, you do it because you want to. Everyone will be glad you came and will welcome you to sit with them and share a meal. It's a rendezvous, a time to get together and share the year's adventures, play some games, and tell some stories. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Looking forward to seeing all of you.

If you can find gas money to get there and have a couple of packs of hot dogs do not hesitate to get to the park. There will be enough extra food to go around and no one will go hungry.
These camps are really a low budget deal. No one is excpected to buy a new Winnebago for this run. Tarp camps are acceptable and if the weather gets scarey there will be extra room in someones' tent.
We are there to connect with old friends and make new ones. What you are wearing, driving, eating or sleeping in is way down the list of priorities.
First priority is an endless flow of coffee, which Crash is in charge of.
Second priority is an endless supply of campfire stories, which last year me and Poco Mooneyes were in charge of, whenever Crash ran out of submarine tales. Hopefully we wil have more help this year!
I have been looking foreward to this camp ever since I packed up and left last year's camp.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

The only expenses that you will have is getting there with your stuff. The campsite is taken care of.

Crash I'm going to jump the gun here and volunteer to provide a pot of baked beans for Sat nite. About all I would feel safe fixing. I'm pretty good cook at home but not at camp, most of what I fix at home would not go over at camp.

I'll bring chicken tenders again! That worked out well last time if Crash is planning another vegetable roast. That veggie glob was excellent last year!!! Baked beans would round that out.
I might make a cobbler in the dutch oven for latter that night. That is always a good treat on a cool night.
I think Winnie had something planned also.
We may wind up doing ourselves and injury.
Hunter you bring the Winnebago if you feel inclined, we will not exclude our more prosperous friends.

I really really wanna make it, I just can't commit yet. If I do make it I'll be BBQing a couple or three Pork Butts. I think Crash is kinda hoping for me doing that since I already promised!
