It sounds like a fun and easy trip for us; we're certainly up for it. Once the date is set, we can commit.

Voting will end on this on wed so put up your preference today! To keep things simple, I think we should plan on the Energy Lake site. I will get a spot up on the rally callender later today or tommorow----Cant wait to see ya there!

Energy Lake has electric hookups (get your water on the way by the hydrant) also be aware that you have to use one of the dumpstations elsewhere in the park. The campground also has new showers/restrooms, campsites on the shore line, a playground, and boat rentals. The sites are large and level and also fairly new. The campsites are well spaced, it has a nice near-boondock feel if that makes any sense.

How about reservations ? are there a lot of spaces that time of year ?

Should be plenty, I will post the information on the campsite reservations in a few days when the date poll closes.

I was down at Energy Lake back in 2004. Nice place.
I like the feel of Canal Campground because you are right on the shoreline and can see the tugs go by... right at the end of your campsite.
Barkley Dam lit up at night is really something too. It is really enat to sit at your campfire and look out across the dam.
They have full hook-ups there too. Water, electric and sewer.

Im in there for the Canal Campground, I need the full hook ups, My gray tank is like a thimble, small,,,,, the boats and tugs would be cool also , I checked it out at reserve USA , browns point loop .

it would be cool to Caravan in my Caravanner , I always wanted to say that !!!!

I got a nice smoker Grill to take ,

Oct 13-15 is the only date for me, I would go the 12th to the 15th , make it worth the trip , thats prime time of the year !!!

This sounds like a fun thing. Like to attend, as we should be returning from Tucson about the middle of October; I voted for the last one.
No comittment implied, just an opinion.

regards

It would be great to have some company while we are at the Canal Campground. Brown's Point is pretty unique.
The bathrooms ar REALLY close in that loop too. They are also VERY clean and the showers are REALLY roomy with a huge private area for dressing/undressing.
Also, Grand Rivers is about one mile away. I am not sure if anyone has ever heard of Patti's 1880's Settlement. It is a huge attraction and the best, (and biggest), pork chops around! Here is a link for area attractions in Grand Rivers. http://www.grandrivers.com
Tons of fun down there!

Will try to make it down there with pattersontoo if things work out.

Neophyte · 08-15-2006, 10:00 PM

I (we) would prefer the full hook-ups at Canal as we do not have a grey water tank and I spent three years working on towboats (note to pattersontoo: tugs work in the ocean, towboats work on the rivers; tugboats pull, towboats push

).

Count us in for Canal.

Boondocker · 08-16-2006, 07:04 AM

Last chance to vote on the date is today!

LBL in September sounds like a winner. Cannot commit at this date but put me on the possible list. I might add that I am in the catering business and could bring equiptment to put on a fish fry or fried chicken feed. Any group up to 5000 is in our area of expertise.

Now I am confused. Am I tugging my trailer or towing it?

Either way, it is still REALLY cool to sit at my campsite and watch the towboats go by!

I will only be able to make it down there the weekend of October 13th. I would be coming in around the 9th or 10th. I would be leaving out REALLY early on Oct. 15th. It is a good 10-12 hour drive home for me, so the sooner I get on the road the better.

emergency response catering? cool. feeding people in need is a critical task.
up to 5000? this groups should be well under that...but some of us can eat for more than one....

The voting is so close there is no clear leader although Sept. has the current lead it is not by much. Two more campers voting for another date would tie it up.
