    Where we stayed last year - Maple Springs Campground - which is about 6 miles from the park (didn't seem that far) we stayed at a group site. Poco and Equus brought their dog. Some of the sites were designated equestrian sites. So dogs were not a problem where we stayed.

    If I'm able to: drive, walk without crutches, and get time off from work, I'm in! With only one good arm (for the moment) I may need help setting up and breaking camp. Anyone up for giving a helping hand to a half-blind, old, cripple? I can play a pretty hot blues harmonica, and I can tell some pretty good campfire jokes! I also make pretty good bannock, and I can sharpen your knife for you...wicked shaving sharp!

    Absolutely TJ - we'll take care things. All you've got to do is enjoy yourself.

    Location is not a problem for me, the timing could be. That's always an issue though. I would love to attend.

    Take a look at Cumberland Gap National Park Crash. All the facilities one would want (including showers) and several great spots inside the park to visit: museum/overlooks/trails. It is at the junction of KY/VA/TN

    Picket State Park and Indian Mountain are also nice. They are also close to I-75 with easy access.

    I am sure there are several good spots along the TN/NC area or even up into WVA.

    Cumberland and Picket are within 8 hours and a bit over a tank of gass. Definitely a possibility for me. Timing never seems to go my way.

    My wife has been to two out of three. Not sure if she'll be coming this year or not. Poco (Mel) and Equus (Dottie) bring their two boys. The first year they were still in diapers. Not sure if they'll make it this year or not. All are welcome.

    I keep checking here for the date and locations. I'm still interested, but have concerns about how the kiddos would do. The KY area is possible, just depends on timing.

    Do any of those places and times coincide with archery or gun deer season? That might be fun.

    You know, that's a good question. We might want to find out 'cause the antler hats might be a problem.

    I have some new gear I need to test out and was displeased I missed last year's shindig. I am going to make this one even if I have to pull a wagon myself.

    Potluck dinner(s) again?

    What we did last year that worked rather well was to plan a menu and everybody brought a part of it. This way we didn't have 30 pounds of food left over. Looking forward to seeing you there this year.

    Cumberland Gap National Park looks great, but they do not accept reservations - first come, first serve. IMO a location with group sites is desirable (but obviously not necessary). Thoughts?

    I have tons of family near Cumberland Gap and if we decide there I can have a huge breakfast cooked for us one day. Also, there's an offroad park for any ATV about 30-45 minutes away. It's quite awesome. I also have access to shooting range about 30 minutes away.

    There's more to do around Cumberland Gap than people think.

    The problem I see with that location is not things to do, but rather not being able to make reservations.
