SE Regional Get-together IV - Cloudland Canyon - Tenn Georgia Ala - May 15 Confirmed

[jhc37013]

I live in Mount Juliet and a few neighbors down the road lost their house and cars from flood, one of the lost homes occupied by some of my wife's family. I live out in the country right next to Percy Priest and it flooded a field beside my house 2-4 ft. deep people were in it grabbing nasty carp longer then my arm. There was hundreds of carp in there. Its crazy and the lake is still rising.

Hope the rest of my fellow CPF Tennesseans are ok.

Hahaha JHC, I did that over at Cooks recreation area last time it rained a lot! except I didn't keep any of them, it's just fun to chase 'em!

Some crazy rain, I must say. I live right across some flood plains for a small tributary to the cumberland, all a lake for a few days. Everyone along that road had junk furniture out on the streets. jeesh.

As much as I want to be there, it will be another year without being able to spend some time with people that have the same geeky obsession as me. I hope the weather is nice and pleasant, and everyone has a good time!

Next year I will make it, and I will even order a 3 gallon container of ice cream, throw it in a cooler with some dry ice and head on down. That will be my contribution from The Sweet Shoppe. Oh, and maybe some candy, and I can do some cooking too.

 

[smopoim86]

I'm still coming, but my buddy isn't planning on being able to make it.

BTW, I have almost all the parts I need.

 

[mossyoak]

Me and some friends are coming and they are gonna bring some cool stuff

we count on that - sad that you cant make it.

 

[bshanahan14rulz]

anybody staying at the days inn? I'm kinda worried about not being able to find you folks. Do you all usually just meet up at Leb's cabin? As of yet, I do not have a cell. Also, I lost my favorite flashlight and my surefire 6P! Hopefully they turn up soon so I can show them off, but at least my ultrafire still has that XR-E:Q35A in it. I also would be bringing some monochromatic throwers (read "Lay-zerz").

As always, cutting it down to the line, but we're probably gonna show up. What are we lacking in the cookout dept.? I'll probably be bringing a few cans of beans, as long as someone brings a can opener

BTW, if you are staying at days inn, google a coupon code. They're out there.

Trevor called and told me that David and family will not show up. Some others from 4Sevens may but Trevor was not sure at the time of the call.

Do you guys want to do burgers for the cookout? If so any volunteers to bring stuff?

 

[4sevens]

As Steve mentioned, my family and I will not be able to make it this round. My sister is heading out of down and is leaving her kids with us this weekend. Small kids don't do that well with long drives and hanging out late at night. Some of our staff may go but no definite confirmations yet.

 

[bshanahan14rulz]

That's too bad about 4sevens.

I'll bring some beans and chips. What kind of a headcount are we looking at, ballpark?

I wish I could find my lights :candle: Planning on putting a green laser into my solarforce L2

 

[swissbianco]

ot, is anybody interested to see how an sak is assembled? will take say 15 minutes with explaning. joust to offer :thinking:

will bring some sprite, paperplates, chips, an couple saussages and bread for grilling.

 

[Lebkuecher]

What kind of a headcount are we looking at, ballpark?

I'm not sure but it looks like we will have a smaller turnout this year compared to last year. I'm not sure how many people mossyoak will have. It might be easier for everyone to bring something to grill instead of trying to plan for how many people will show.

Swissbianco what is a sak?

I will be bringing about 40 to 50 lights both old and new; I have spent the last three days charging batteries when I have had the time.

 

[swissbianco]

sak = swiss army knife

we will be an party of 2 attending, damon eggert cant this year, he will be at the blade show in atlanta in june.

 

[Lebkuecher]

I would like to see one put together swissbianco.

 

[swissbianco]

ok, we do so, will bring the parts and tools.

 

[smopoim86]

I'll be there around 3pm tomorrow. I'm not sure what all I'm packing yet.

 

[Lebkuecher]

I should be there tomorrow sometime early afternoon. I will post an update on the cabin when I get there. The cabin should have a screened in area so if it rains it will not be a problem. Anyone in the area Friday is welcome to stop by, I might go up to look out mountain sometime during the afternoon Friday so you might want to call and make sure I'm there.

Keep in mind we will meet at Cabin 8, the cabin should be real nice. Map link below.

[mossyoak]

Swiss, me and my friends would definately be interested in seeing a SAK being made. We all use them and consider them every day essentials

 

[swissbianco]

[mossyoak]
