So Badin lake has no electric hookups, Arrowhead camp ground does, but it's not on the water. Last time was fun with out electric, I also think we got too many sites. However, since Marty's cousin will be coming, I'll let him book his site first, so i can get one on the OTHER side of the campground.

I'm leaning towards the 22nd, will that one work for you Matt?

I have a couple of Kayaks to bring as well, though I'll probably be out in the jeep most of Saturday, depending on the head count, I can cut down on the amount of pork, since we literally had 5 lbs left over last time, at least. However, I vote for Marty's wife baking another cake, and Bob's gumbo, a triple batch would be good! I believe I have a four or five gallon pot if we need it, for that.

Site 6 is booked, which was the large one Bob had, but we can go on the lower loop, and a large site there (28) is also on the water it looks like, with a few empty sites around it. Since we all know my ability to back a trailer in isn't worth much, I'll just need a real wide driveway!

Oh how are those banjo playing skills coming along? Do I need to learn the next verse of Dueling Banjos?

 

We'll have to make sure that the Kayaking is finished before the "shine" gets passed around..........

 

The weekend of the 22nd works for me, I have a 3 day weekend. Not sure if I'll have my boys with me or not yet.


@Benztechnc: I'm pretty proficient backing a trailer, I can help if you'd like.


@fuzzy1626: What fun would that be?

 

Sounds like we're making headway towards getting another FTE camping trip put together

 

I haven't been on the forums much in a few years but I check in often. I am a former NCFTE chapter leader and would like to get back involved. Looks like you guys have one heck of a party planned, I live 25-30 min from badin and would definitely like to attend if y'all will have me. I have a 20' boat that I can bring if I need bribes.

 

Hey Ashley, we'd love to have you back in the mix. Of course you are welcome to join us for any ncfte event or function. Looks like the 22nd is working for most but still need the ok's from a couple of core members to make it official.

Tony, WP, Marty, are you guys good with the 22nd? Soon as yall chime in we can reserve sites.

 

Oct. 22nd is fine with me. Lower loop again?

 

Glade your back on, Ashley. Do you know anything about Andrew(furian)? He hasn't posted on FTE in a year.

 

Cool deal I'll make plans to attend. Let me know a date and I'll be there , I'm flexible. I have not heard from anyone on this page in several years, idk what happened. It seemed all our old original crew started falling off as new guys joined.

 

The 22nd sounds fine with me

Unk Bob

 

May be a potential date conflict for the 22nd. They are having a huge 100 mile and 100k run at uhwarrie that weekend. Folks show up from all over to race this. One of the largest 100 milers on the east coast. I do not think it will affect the ohv trails. But it will certainly impact camping and in general getting around the park/forest.

Doesn't seem to be anything large planned on the 15th. That may be a better weekend.

What do yall think?

 

You may have stumbled onto something there. That wold at least fill the park up with people.
I'm fine with the earlier date too.

Unk Bob

 

What about morrow mountain state park? They have both tent and rev camping and it's just a short hop to uhwarrie and the trails and its on lake tillery instead of badin. Just a thought

 

15th works for me. Site #6 (the double site) is available on those dates too.

 

A lot of options at that park.
