Does anybody know if the campground has any sites left? The website seems to indicate that they're sold out!?
They have tent sites! I'm not sure they have their normal tent sites, but they have a big field and the guy told me he would have some place for me to throw up a tent!!! Now... if you have to be all cushy and stuff, sleeping on a bed and air conditioning and everything, then you may be out of luck. Don't trust Aaron to camp either. He packs all his camping stuff in his truck to make it LOOK like he is an outdoorsman, and then sleeps with Alex in the air conditioned cabin!!! lol ... just sayin

Blew me away too! I had 2 or 3 people emailing me saying "name your price, I have been looking forever." Quick cash to clean them up and put them on ebay it seems. With my topper and these sold, my efuel kit only cost me about $250 and the wife is much happier.

Man we have quite a group here, this will be amazing!
I just tried to give them a call and got their answering machine. I'll try again this afternoon some time. I'm still undecided about who is coming and what the arrangements will be, but I'm planning to make it a priority this year.

Yeah, Bill. That sounds good. I can make that happen if I can get the wife to leave work at a decent time.

It would be nice to come early Wednesday and hang in beautiful WVA. Plus I really want to see Tyler's sawmill.

Be sure to leave a message Nate. Beverly is pretty good at getting back with people. I think the winter hours right now 3p-6p.

Dont knock the AC Dan! Us northern folks aren't use to crazy high humidity in the summer.
Sure on the occasion itll reach 90 degrees, but its not STICKY like it was down there! lol

Although right about now during winter is when I say I could handle the humid summers down there not to deal with these winters. lol
