I just realized that a great many of us here are teenagers of the 60's and 70's. Does that explain the strangeness. And I have a Christmas Tree that can't be beat.

Does anyone know if the park locks the gate at a certain time. My son Austin are going to try and make it but we might have to arrive on Sat. morning if we can't get in late Fri. (about a four hr. trip from Gibsonville, N.C.) Do we need to bring our snow shovels? Bentley Owen

[hoggtyed]

I was wondering about gate time myself. Oh yeah, making progress on the wife she has been making fun of me for wanting to go but she has not been saying no. I think I got her right where I want her. :banghead: LOL

[hoggtyed]

I got this from Alan to post on gate time.


Technically it's 10:00PM. When I was down ther a few monhs ago they
said
11:00 PM. Don't know how solid that 11:00 0"clock is though. Could you
please get
this on the forum for me as I am having a problem posting for some
reason in
the last couple of days. Alan

[Ross Wade]

Sometimes you can call the State Parks ahead of time and they may have a way to handle late arrivals.


Just my two cents,

Ross

[Woody]

You are correct Ross, They recommend that you call them if you are delayed, Sometimes they have stand-by campers waiting for available spots of people who do not show up. Then you show up late and it is a problem for all those involved. And some parks actually lock there gates at night to prevent problems with unwanted visitors

Chip,

I wish I could make this one, however, I have a BSA family campout Dec.3-5 with my son at Johnathan Dickinson State Park in Jupiter ,Florida that weekend. Otherwise I would be there with you guys. Sorry

[ALAN GEDDES]

POT LUCK DINNER SATURDAY NIGHT> Alan & Wanda: Chili, crackers. E me and I will add to list. FIREWOOD: I will call Beach and see what it costs down there. If same price as here we could probably get a half or full cord delivered to campground a lot cheaper than buying little bundles. I will post a price tommorow. If interested in splitting cost please let me know.

[Frank]

Alan,

Yes, we'll go in an share in buying some, but I could bring a pickup load down if it is going to be a lot, a friend cut down a bunch of oaks, just will have to rent a spliter and split it up, don't think my hand will handle the manual kind. The wood is free, just have to go get it.

Let me know.

Frank

[ALAN GEDDES]

Frank; I don't think any of us want to be spending our time cutting and splitting wood at the campgroundand I'm not so sure they would let us. Appreciate the offer. I'll find out cost in the A.M. and post it. Got the Merc fixed up?

[Frank]

Alan,

No, did not mean we would do the splitting at the camp ground. I was going to do that here, with a hydrolic spliter.

Have it up on jack stands and will start working on it tomorrow night, just have to take the oil lines off and bevel the ends. They are stainless steel tubing and I did not bevel the ends where the rubber hose fits on them, so they kind of blew off. 1/2" oil line plus 40lbs of pressure. Whew, what a mess! Was very lucky though caught it before dumping all the oil, just lost 4.5 qts, still had 3.5 left, so hopefully, the engine is OK.

[ALAN GEDDES]

Misunderstood you Frank. Let me find out what it will cost locally (Beach) and see what folks want to do.
