Not sure how long a drive it would be for you, but stop on in for dinner if you are able.
I'll call them tommorow to check on reservations
PGV is the only "definite" that hasn't been on since the location was decided. I sent him a PM.
Just a reminder to everyone that they have a restriction on bringing wood into the campground from specific areas because of emerald ash borer.
"***Notice to those who want to bring firewood with you...certain states have non-native insects that can cause damage to our native trees. The emerald ash borer is now located in Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Canada. It is one of those pests which we do not want invading Big South Fork. Firewood brought in from these states is prohibited. Please do not bring firewood with you that may carry insects pests. Be prepared to buy or collect your wood once you arrive at the campground."
You can collect downed wood for firewood.
"Under no circumstance can you cut any trees, shrubs or limbs around the site that
are standing and/or alive. You may collect dead wood that is lying on the
ground to use as firewood. The use of chainsaws anywhere is the park is
prohibited."
I called the campground and confirmed my reservation for space 18 on oct 21 to the 25th. i would suggest people call and confirm there sites and dates as they seam a little confused with the computer system.
there # 423-286-8368. They seemed very helpful and nice but had a little trouble understanding my yankee accent.:blushing:
I understood him just fine.
Of course, I grew up in New Jersey.:innocent:
forgidabouddit :)
I just want to confirm that you know the dates are October 22-24. If you want to go early and stay late, that's fine but I'll be there on Friday afternoon and take off Sunday.
Yea, but i figure i'm flying all that way i should take some time to look around a bit.
Hey Rick, Do you still have those Targets for throwing Hawks and knives?
I sure do.
Do they look like Ken ?
Get two metal pie plates smaller than the diameter of the dutch oven. Flip one upside down and put it in the oven. Set the second pie pan, right side up, on top of the inverted pie pan. Put your biscuits inside the top pie pan and cook away. By using this method you raise the biscuits off the bottom of the dutch oven so they don't burn.Quote:

That sounds almost how I cook muffins when I am backpacking. We use the little tin or rubber cupcake cups and put them inside our pot with water and steam them. It's either that or put parchment paper with water underneath it.
Don't know why I never though about doing something similar for dutch oven cooking. Sounds good to me!
Just to sort things out - and I know its early and some people have to wait to find out about their work schedule and other obligations - the following have made their reservations:
Rick
Poco/Equus and the boys
Huntermj
Crash/Mrs. Crash
Roar K I wasn't sure if you made/confirmed your reservations yet. I'll contact others that have expressed an interest. Of course, all are welcome.
Are you back to work and feeling better?
I request your presence on October 22nd at 5pm for a happy hour social at site 20.
Update:
Rick

Rebel
Crash/Mrs. Crash

Ouch. I'm glad you're back to work anyway. A day run isn't too bad. My dad had one for a lot of years (he was number 5 in seniority). Lot's of hours but your bed at night. That's a +.
sorry you still have pain but glad you are able to work :)
I wish I could make it, but I will be in Savannah that weekend for my wife's cousin's wedding. Y'all have fun!
In addition to having beer and wine I was going to make some chili. Do ya'll like chili?
Once during an intence survival situtation i lived on nothing but chili for two weks. it was tough but tasty.
Chili in October? Well, yeah.
Huntermj - You lived on chili for a week?! I'm sure glad I wasn't trapped in the cabin with you.

Sacrilege, sir!
