I drove 5 hrs each way to spend a weekend in Chesnee, SC hanging with a bunch of guys


Was supposed to be 12 guys eating breakfast at Strawberry Hill; I show up and the next morning there was 32 people sitting together.



Definitely considering it though

 

Ok fellas, ladies and G-string wearers, I submitted my leave form for this weekend, and am planning to join the festivities. Looking at the campground site map, sites 4 and 8 look to be the closest to the group, only difference I see is site 4 is a pull through and site 8 is a back in, no worries there. From those who have been there before, what would your preference be?


Oh yeah, and I'll have my boat with me, and perhaps a couple kayaks (if anybody would like to use one, please let me know, I'd rather not bring them if they won't get used). I am going to try my darndest to bring my truck but still have a couple issues I need to address before making a trip like this (I'll put a question and some details on the works thread). Guess I should figure something out to cook too, assuming we do some kind of group meal get together?

 

8 was one of the ones we grabbed last time. ***** was on it. Close enough. I don't remember seeing 4 but since it's on the side by the lake, well, I'm sure it would have easy access to fishing there. 8 was definitely back in, but I think there was enough space to back a car and trailer. I know on 10 there was.

Also found out it's the weekend of the Jeep Jamboree, they will probably be in the group camp site. But the trails should be packed.

Matt will you try to bring your son's dirt-bike? If you need a hand getting it there, let us know. One of us can probably help. I'll have enough room on my trailer to haul it I think.

 

Thanks for the info on the sites, I'll probably just reserve site 8 since it's closer to the group.

Don't think I'll have the kids with me, the ex will have them that weekend. And, once again, his dirt-bike isn't running again. It's been one thing after another with this thing, but I only paid $300 for it so I'm not really surprised.

 

Site 8 reserved!

 

Glad to see your trying to make it to the Fall Camping trip

 

I want to try that.

 

My friend in Raeford is a Motorcycle mechanic, if you just want to take it somewhere and have it repaired. Let me know and I will get you the information.

 

Also, Matt, if you want to meet us for Lunch on Friday, we are planning on hitting up the Chuck Wagon in Carthage. It'll add about 30 minutes to your drive.

 

Sounds good, what time you planning on meeting there?

 

For those interested, I'd like to plan a convoy out, I believe on Friday. Should hopefully be on the road by around 10 or 11. Planning Hot Dogs at the Chuck Wagon in Carthage for lunch. Shooting range probably around 2:00 or so. Time's subject to change if we feel like sleeping in or being lazy. Hopefully Matt can meet us out at the Wagon.

Current list of known attendees:
Josh, Bob, *****, James, Marty, Wesley, and Matt. Dusty will meet us on Saturday for the Que.

Friday Night: Bob's Gumbo. Bob, want us to put anything together to go with that, or do you need a larger pot? I have a 4 gallon one here I use for Shrimp Boils, or you know I could just buy the stuff to do a shrimp boil to go along with the Gumbo...

Coffee: I'm sure it's covered.

Saturday dinner Below:

 

What about Tony? I've also invited a couple of guys that are maybes.

Is sidewinder still a maybe?

Anyone heard from Burlington Matt?

I'll be down there sometime Friday evening before the gates close.

 

I did finally find a store that has my Gumbo mix, and I'll snag the other things I need to make it before we set out. And I have a way bigger pot that I'll bring this time for the Gumbo

 

Three more weekends.

 

Just realized this is the same weekend as the Taylorsville Apple Festival...
Haven't missed the live beach music in 7 years.
