    Camping Info !!!

    Here's a link to the campground map (pdf). We probably should all try to stay in the back area (520 and up) to avoid getting in trouble :lol3 All the spots are considered "primitive camping".

    The 3 spots Dave reserved for "party central" are 565, 575 and 585. The other spots are open, but I think we should try to fill them all up before we end up with any squatters :deal

    Here's my suggestion: book yourself a spot, and post up to share your space (or keep it for yourself). According to the girl I spoke to, one car equals 2 motorcycles. I think all spots are good for about 3 tents. Link to campground website. BTW, if you are calling in your reservations, please DO NOT tell them it's for an ADV event - otherwise the owners may think Rick is involved and he is NOT

    riverside spots: 557, 549, 543, 539, 537, 531.... and 595
    non-riverside spots: 522, 520...

    If you are planning to camp at 565, 575, 585 pm me

    Looks cold lol hope you guys and girls are rugged up for tonight and tomorrow hear you are in for snow, its all a novelty for me at the moment as where i come from we very rarely have a day under 70.

    Campsites look good plenty of space to let our good manners out :evil

    I found out. One in the spring for me, and maybe one in the fall for both of us.

    So, the RDV is off my list :cry and this one is on :clap

    In other words, I'm in! :freaky

    Anyone got a campsite to share?

    I've been trying to make camping reservations. They never answer the phone. Must be hard to run a spa that way....
    Well, I left a message. We'll see if they check those.
    Maybe I'll just wing it like usual. My plan is to get #522 to share with three other campers.

    Mr Mark O, you better hit up the Smoky mountain diner for Pie, had a great piece of berry pie there a couple years ago. Along with a large glass of milk, it made a great breakfast.

    Walking distance from the campground in hot springs, on 209 just w of the intersection of 70/25.

    If you get a short older waitress, give her a hard time, she dishes it back in spades, and it is very entertaining.
