AnimalHousePA said:Yeah I think it would be a lot more fun to sleep outdoors rather than sleep in the cramped up cab of my truck! I'm trying to decide on what stove of mine to bring...MSR, Coleman, Jetboil, etc or maybe I'll bring them all? We'll have fires going so we can also cook over those...One thing to remember is that it is colder in the Poconos than it is in points South and East (generally) so it's a good idea to pack warm clothes. When I was there in April, it was about ten degrees colder there than it was in the Philly area. While we were mountain biking 14 miles, it was sleeting! Then after that we went white water rafting...what a bunch of morons haha
It'd be GREAT if you can bring a variety of stoves to see the various ease of operation and such. VERY interesting stuff.

I'm going to be bringing my 750watt inverter, if anyone wants to use it when I'm not feel free to. It'll run any size soldering iron I know of without a problem.

ok, I'll bring all of my stoves. I think Kart can provide us with an answer as to what name we give to the person in the check-in booth...TOB9595 said:

Hi everyone, Sorry I was away for the weekend, and couldn't respond until now.
Anyway, here is a quick rundown on arrival. The earliest I would suggest getting to the campsite on Friday is 3:30. We have sites 6-11, which you can find on the campsite map, which can be accessed via the Hickory Run link in my first post.
As for checkin, yes, there is a little guard shack as you enter the camping area. However everyone will not need to stop there. The six sites could not all be put under one name, so I had to use some fictitious names when I made the reservation.
I now need to change the names on three of the sites to people who are actually going, so that they can just check in and say they are here for the sites. The sites are paid for in full, they just need to be released to the person who they are reserved to now.
One site is under my name, one under Milkys name and one under luxlovers name (our real names of course). So I need three other people who are without a doubt going to be there on Friday night to put a site in each of there names. Again, there is nothing you have to do, except stop in and say you are there to use the site. They will give you two registration cards, one for your car and one for the campsite. The campsite one goes on a little post at the site itself. So if you can take on this "responsibility" please step up and let me know.
Everyone else can just bypass the guard shack and head right to the campsite. Again, you can find the location of the sites via the campsite map within the hickory run link in the first post.

Two questions for all...
1. Is anyone bringing young'uns to the campout? Trying to decide if my 6 year old would have anyone close to his own age around.
:thinking:
2. Does anyone want any builds, MC2 orders, mods, or whatever that I would bring with me for in-person delivery... or possibly even work on at the campout? I wasn't planning on bringing much with me as far as tools and supplies, but if there's a need... :naughty:

Robertl999. Yes, I have to see what is going on on my homefront, my wife not a camper although I am an avid hiker. I live only about 30-40 minutes from the Park however and have been there many times. I've just got to try to stay after dark but, may find I have to leave without an overnight stay--some required family obligations and responsibilities.

Of course everyone is welcome to stop by and say hi. JDriller is doing just that, and if you notice on the list of attendees, you will see I have him listed as 1/2. That's because he doesn't anticipate being able to stay over night, but wants to come and hang out during the day and into the evening. So in fairness to everyone paying for the rental of the sites, anyone else who wants to spend some time at the sites is welcome to do so, but please contribute to the rental costs of the sites to the tune of 1/2 price of what those staying overnight are paying. $5.oo covers the non-overnight attendees. --Tim
