    I live around an hour north of Chattanooga, TN. Close to a mountain named Mount Eagle. I'm pretty good for a 3-4 hour drive. How primitive is it going to be. Basically what is allowed and whats not.

    I hope you like digging your own privy....

    J/k. Here is the description of the site I think CBS was wanting to reserve:

    This is a primitive, rugged site. Site is located by itself. Site has no water or electricity. No access to shower facilities. Site has pit toilet, fire ring, picnic tables. Site is located across from Terrora Campground. Camping includes a 3-sided elevated shelter, maximum capacity 25 (3 large tents or several small tents). Vehicle parking located approximately 30 yards from parking lot. Check-in at the Interpretive Center no later than 4:00 p.m.

    I actually went there yesterday and there were lots of bugs that kept landing on me. But they didn't seem to bother my date a bit.

    And I also posted a pic of the primitive camping spot on post #36.

    Looks like a nice area for a meet.

    Just to let everyone know that we will need to bring our own firewood. Does anyone know if there are regulations for bringing firewood into GA? I know here in TN they have a ban on quite a few states' firewood.

    I haven't heard of any such ban. I would think that you're close enough that any insect that could be in the wood would already be in this part of Georgia.

    True, but I know wood from KY and VA are banned, and just wanted to make sure there was no such ban in effect.

    Also note that you will need to bring a few gallons of water.

    Never heard of the ban from TN to Ga. I live in TN and cut wood with my father-in-law. I take a load to my parents about 2 or 3 times a year, havent been pulled over yet.

    We can't even move firewood from county to county in Indiana. Not all counties are affected but a good number of them are. The ones where the emerald ash borer has been found are quarantined.

    Was reading information for the campsite. With all the restrictions what are we going to be able to do as far as recreation or educating members like myself that know little. Like I said in earlier post I have never been to any kind of a Jamboree. Kinda wanting to know what to expect.

    SS, I think it would be more comradery than anything else...I may have a tip for you or you may have one for me. I don't see it as having scheduled workshops. It'd be nice of each member present had a skillset they could showoff at some point. It would also matter how many people can make the trip.
    Keep in mind the problem may be extremely complicated, though the "Fix" is often simple...

    Oh, oh! I'm good at fumbling around like an idiot!... Hmm, maybe I should stick with just watching?

    Understood. Have no idea what it would be like. I went to Powwow's when I was younger for some reason that is what I had pictured.

    Not too much different than that..when we have a date, and who can make it, we'll plan more..Me I'd like to do some hiking...looks like we'll need a pass for that too.

    LOL. Sad that you have to pay to walk through the woods now. Oh well, it will still be fun. That part of GA is beautiful. I grew up in North GA.

    You got a link to the rules?

    In Big Cypress you are supposed to fill out a back country pass. It is just a carbon copy form that you pick up at the trail head. You put one copy in the box and tie the other copy to your pack.

    Other places down here you sign in and out.
