Annual (?) Winter Camping Weekend

I’m interested

 

If I finish my bed rack in time I will try to make it but I havent even ordered material yet.

 

Is the road still open to Lake Conasauga?

 

I know the road i took last September is closed for winter. (from the west side ) according to the website the campground is closed for the winter

 

Less than 2 weeks to go!

We need to figure out where we are going. To do this, post up if you are planning to attend, which nights (Fri, Sat), and a suggestion as to where you want to camp, if you have one.

I'm thinking Friday night will be fewer people, so we may camp at two different sites.

As you post, I will update the first post.

 

Friday and Sat night. Interested in Jacks river fields but a long as the ground isnt soggy im ok camping wherever

 

Friday-Sat as well, I'm down for whatever, just wanted to go find a nice place with a view or water front maybe

 

Friday-Sunday afternoon, down for anything. Cell service would be nice but not required, mainly for music streaming and contacting other attendees

 

anyone have a CB? If so could we set up a channel to communicate incase we are in a no signal area?

 

Is this just camping, or will there be wheeling involved?

 

I do.

Channel preference? While wheeling, I usually run on 4 or 16. We might want to pick a different one.

 

Nothing specified at the moment.

 

im ok with channel 4, i dont see much traffic on really any of my channels outside of 6 locally

 

You GenX'rs and your streaming...

You have no idea what you are missing out on with the loss of record stores. Of picking up an album off the rack, taking it home, putting on the turntable and enjoying. Those were the days.

Now, before anyone goes off at the mouth, I do stream music. However, I have all mine ripped, and stored on my phone. It adds up to over 11,000 songs.

 

OK - channel 4 it is.

 

As we are waiting for the signups to come it, I will say this -

Assuming there are not too many people on Friday, I would like to camp at Jack's River. Saturday, we can go anywhere.

However, if too many want to camp on Friday as well, we'll find a bigger campground, and I will go to Jack's River another time.

 

You guys still use CBs?

How many can you fit at the Jacks River location?

 

Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest - Jacks River Fields Campground (usda.gov)

Campground Camping
This campground is located along the south fork of Jacks River, which is a native seasonal trout stream.

• 7 tent campsites in main camping area, with limited sites in rear of campground.
• 1 ADA accessible vault restroom
• gravel loop through camping area
• standard amenities (i.e. grill, picnic table, lantern post, etc.)

It's one of my favorite if I can get by the creek

 

If not CB, what do you use? GMRS?

7 campsites, and a large tent area. Several can fit on one campsite.

 

I'm mainly messing with you guys but yeah I just plug in a cheap boafeng handheld to the truck and the antenna on a ditch light bracket when I need it.
