3rd Annual Red River Gorge Meet Success w/Pics & Shennanigans

Things I need to do before meet:

Fix Radio (Done)
Fix squeaky belt
Fix slow leak in front tire
Fix my birds nest wiring of light bar, pods, cb, amp. Basically all my wiring
Re run my CB Coax Cable
Fix new better grounded mount to mount antenna

How much time do I have to do this again?

 

READY!

 

Humid? In Kentucky? In June? Naw....Never happen...

 

I see Cody's little yellow tent

 

I think I see my tent from last year in the corner there.

I say lets go back to the original coordinates since it's easy for everyone to get their focus to. It isn't the best makeable spot to camp but makes the most sense for everyone.. If we want to load up and camp on the overlook or somewhere different the 2nd night then we can do whatever everyone else wants to do.

 

My Pre meet to do list
Mount L track in bed
Mount additional solar panel
Mount battery
Mount fridge and comboslide (if the comboslide shows up in time) LOL
Mount the L track pieces to exterior
Mount wire up radio in bed

My itinerary in a nutshell. Wedding season is driving me nuts.
Tonight: Laundry and get wedding prep done.
Wednesday: Homemade wild turkey Pot Pie at a friend's place and work on my truck.
Thursday: Work on my truck
Friday: Drive to Cleveland (Wedding season)
Saturday: Hang with the GF in CLE
Sunday: Drop GF at Airport, Drive to Dayton, Have Father's day dinner with folks, Drive to Cincy
Monday: Work on truck afterwork, battery arrives today
Tuesday: Truck final touches
Wednesday: Groceries and pack for RRG
Thursday: Leave work as soon as I can and barrel down to the Gorge.

June is going to go quick.

 

Looks like you have way more time to work on your truck than I do lol.

 

I don't have any weekend time, just a few hours in the evening.

 

37°45'53.6"N 83°43'13.4"W
37.798139, -83.704333

Might wanna post the old directions from last year to get to camp then. Above are the coordinates, either way to the camp with our very own lil pond.

 

I have to film a wedding all day Saturday, Sunday is Fathers Day (Which I may con into helping me work on my truck) You know for father/son bonding

 

You can post directions for anyone that can't make a meeting time.

 

From the gas station in Slade, per Cody's coords in 1st post....

Head northwest on 11, back alongside the Bert T Combs
Take a left on 1639, stay on 1639 for 3.7 miles
Take another left onto Fork Rd/Sand Lick Rd
You'll cross in and out of the creek iirc, shouldn't be too deep at all.

It's 5.1 miles from 11 to camp.

 

My thoughts are to get to the gas station round about 3pm. Head to the camp spot, set up the tent right quick and shed a few pounds of gear/food and hit some trails!

@tacofort thots? There are some decent trails just a few feet from camp. @mwc273 @presta24 @Jibbs where you ladies gonna be around that time?

 

What's that big open area about 2.5 miles south, driving distance, from the camp? Follow the Sand Lick Fork crick and you'll see. Looks like a logged area, but with a ton of trails in just that area

 

I'll try my best to be there by three, but may not be until 4. I can only get away with so much at work and it's still a solid 2 hrs. But everything else sounds reasonable.

 

Just meet me at camp? I'll piddle around while setting up my tent or gather firewood or something slightly productive lol

 

I say this, but chances are, I won't walk out the door here til at least 12:05 and someone will have paged for me at 12:01 requiring something that takes 45 minutes to fix.

 

Way to one up me chief...
