FB Camping Trip - Back by popular demand (weather problem!!!)
 

Okay...here's the scoop...

During Rotorfest, forum members were looking for a place to stay overnight and so I reserved a campsite nearby. You can read all about it here The evening turned out GREAT! You can see pictures from it here Everyone wanted to do it again...and so I've been getting PM's asking when is the next camp outing.

Well...I've gauged interest on those that attended before and they all seem to be available for the weekend of Aug 6th. The campsite is located at Stokes State Forest in New Jersey. So I'm inviting you guys so we can meet up, have a 2 day cookout, play some football, throw some frisbee's <--spelling?> and just have a really cool time. The date is flexible if there are enough people that want to change it.

The campsite is $50/night...so an entire weekend is $100 that I will put up to get the reservation. Once everyone arrives we can square up on the bill. There are grills and campfire pits already on the campsite. Bathrooms and showers are within walking distance and they are CLEAN :) The campsite fits 50 people VERY comfortably...check out the pix and you'll see what i mean! AND we can park our cars on the campgrounds.

This is a family orientated camptrip so bring your cupholders (woops! :eek: ) I mean wives/girlfriends. There are farmers markets and grocery stores nearby to get our food for the 2 days. You'll need camping gear - tent, sleeping bag, flashlight...etc

So how about it? Want to go? Got Questions? Lemme know! :bigthumb:

BTW...

When I sent the PM some of you who attended the first or wanted to attend before didn't have your PM turned on. Those of you are:

So don't think I've forgotten about you guys :)

I wish i lived closer:(

dude...you are just 19 hours away!

you can do it!

LOL. I wish!

Man I can't do it that weekend, other wise I would be all for it. That was an awesome time last time.

Like I said...the date is flexible...name a date that you can do it and maybe others will find it more convenient :)

Can't....seem.....to...resist....urge..to....camp. ..

Actually, that weekend might be great for us. We start our camping/vacation on Aug. 9. No biggie to swing up there, camp a few days, then head back south/west to Blackwater Falls/Spruce Knob WV.

so far that date looks ok for me as well. Time went pretty fast last time just sitting around bullshiting, but how are we gonna keep occupied for a whole weekend?

My "cupholder" is busy and can't make it. :(

Just got some news here at the office (like 10 minutes ago) looks like we have a review coming up that week. I might have to postpone my vacation..

so does that mean you can't make it to the camp trip? will we need to change the date?

Later is better for me, actually, just because I have a bit of work to finish. But I'll go whenever!
Maybe now Otaku will be able to come and show off his new paint job. ;)

Okay...so would Aug 13th be better for everyone? Let me know because I have to call in the reservation soon. We need a date to stick to...

Tom?
Sterling?
82Transam?
OtakuRX?
EVERYONE?

I need feedback please :)

Can't do it then, that is the weekend my GF is coming up here. Any time after that would be perfect tho. And I would happily come and show off the new paint and smooth running car.

Just give me a date and I will clear it w/ my store manager.

I might be able to do either dates. Finalize it and I will let you know. I might just be there for only one night, new baby and all.

If we end up doing it the 6th I can make it, but I'll have to change a few things around. The 13th would be better. I'm not sure I really want to use the whole weekend for it though, I might be a one nighter as well. We'll see.

I really won't know my schedule until next week. We just found out about this review today. It's a standard safety and soundness review by the Fed banking regulators. Typically officers of the bank need to be present. They will be in on Aug 9, which means I may be in the office that weekend shredding (ooops), I mean 'reviewing' files.

Okay...so by a show of bumps who feels the 13th would be an easier date? for me, either are fine...

That's a hefty charge for a campsite. The rates chart says $15 per night for a tent.

This is a group site. $50 a night flat charge. Put as many people/tents as you can fit.

Anytime.
