Turkey creek camp out Jan. 20th

Very interested in how this works out.

 

Appreciate it man. Yeah, I'm cool with adult language and getting shit faced, they see that shit at my house all the time lol. I was trying to see if anybody else was bringing their families so my wife or kids don't feel left out. Even though she says she good with it, I know she'll feel out of place being the only lady out there.

 

Well my original intent was to do this whole intricate system with tanks and filters and a pump under the truck so that I could fill the tanks with lake water if I wanted to and get drinking water out the other side but (without getting into hours of thought process) I pretty much came to the conclusion that I'm too lazy to deal with something that needs to be constantly cleaned and maintained like that would. So I'm mounting a pump in the bed cubby and a couple quick disconnects on the rear bumper. One qd will have poly tubing that drops into a 5 gal water jug and the other will have a hose bib that hooks to it or a spray hose, depending on what I'm doing at the time. I decided that simple was better. I already have a water siphon that I keep in my camping gear so the system is already partially built. I just have to mount the pump, switch and quick disconnects to the truck and run about 6' of wire to the pump and switch.

 

I hear ya bro. My wife will be at home with our little ones.

 

I may bring my lady, but that’s totally uncertain right now she’s really indecisive. I tend to leave her home cuz you never know what these trips entail

 

Thats what im saying.. lol

 

My lady is coming, she’s been bugging me to go camping so it’s a win win

 

I’m a maybe @Brindybot I haven’t been up to the ghost town in a while and would like to do some exploring

 

What day you guys meeting and time?

 

I was going to get together with Alex and go over details. I'm going to get as many details as i need to make sure I'm aware of where and what i need to be looking out for just in case Alex doesn't come I'm at least aware. Doesn't looks difficult to navigate but probably leaving sat more around 9 or 10 and playing around the rest of the day up there. exploring in the trucks and on foot.

 

You going after that transformer?

 

When isn't he....

 

Might as well! I need some ground assistance. You in?

 

You know me all too well..

 

Sounds good. I'll keep an eye out. It's a 4hr drive in there from Houghton/I-10, at least it was for @mbmack1 and I. 69 miles from the I-10 exit in Wilcox to camp.

 

Yea, it's a long one. Might want an earlier start time if there is going to be exploring.

 

That area is huge. Factor in 4 hours travel with a 9-10am start and you’re looking at only 3-4hrs daylight. I’m thinking about heading up on Friday after work.

 

I'll be late if I make it so we'd have to do it Sunday but you know I'm down! U gonna climb or ?

 

We also spent at least an hour drooling over cb's and RTT heaters though. Lol
