Seems to me if you wanted a better turn out,you would pick a weekend day, and have more than a 4 day notice.

But it's your gig, so whatever you think is best, it's your choice. Good luck, and have fun!

Cant do a week day, and need more time than that to get lined op of the trip. Wish I could make it, but will have to watch from afar....

Once, years ago, went camping in the panhandle of WV, at a campgroud that was packed with people who'd been making their own for a looong time...on Memorial day weekend....

Took a while to find my notes about that trip. Seems the moonshiners liked that place for thier gatherings because there were a lot of 'jourisdiction' problem for LE and they felt that it was a pretty 'safe' place to do thier reunions. Met people for 4 states, all had little coolers holding 1/2 filled mason jars. There was music out the ying yang, bar-b-que all over, evening projected movies, dancing...general hoopla for about 4 days... Often think about doing that again, but have given up sleeping on the ground, and don't have a travel unit any more...

Oh -- those were the daze....

Hey, KY, how much did it cost to drop that line in? Wouldn't you know it. All but finished the trimmings on my 240 set up, and realized the house I bought yesterday doesn't have it. It has a gas dryer. Didn't catch that on the walkthrough. *idiot*. Saw a dryer, assumed there was a plug back there.

I digress. I don't know the rating of service coming in, and there are no free spots on the panel. Oh dear...I worry now.

Sorry for the hijack, OP.

I see, you're going to set the date on Wednesday. My apologies. I read that as Wednesday WAS the day.

Just set a date, and the crowd will tell you what they think.

Boom, I love that image you described. How do we get to be part of that?!?. Sounds like heaven, well "Almost heaven", to quote my friend John.

And fyi, they have queen size, waist high air mattresses that goes on a cot. Ain't slept on the ground camping in years. Hell, the wife rigs up a fan, hard to call it camping.

@Diamond... It cost me about $70. That was breaker, line, junction box, outlet, plate, staples, and two clamps. One for the breaker, and one for the box. The most expensive thing was the line. $38 for 25'.

Well, I don't 'know' any of those people, but think: http://www.coxcamping.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow, a three or four day weekend, say -- mid summer, early fall... 10 years agao, the mountains worked like air-conditioners, chilling the breezes, rivers on both sides where the state lines run down the center of the stream. Fly fishing is good (well that weekend it was..), cooking facilities are well built and maintained, the outdoor gathering place has a raised platform for musicians, and a huge 'drive-in' movie type screen for evening projections....bathrooms and showers were clean, Campground spots had running water and electricity...shade, and were flat, but well drained. Roads were graveled, grass was groomed...

Oh yeah, and reservations were required....but costs were quite reasonable.

Boom

Ok, that sounds like you did it yourself. I have to hire an electrician, or SOH says it ain't happening. Wonder....

Yeah... Did it myself. I'd wager you're looking at $200-250. Its super easy. I just made sure I was SUPER cautious inside the breaker box. My SOH doesn't even know I did it. LOL.

I should be able to get permission, with that much advance notice. SOH shouldn't have a problem with it. I'm in!

I just got one thing to say Smokey , Be real careful doing these kinda meets. The last few gatherings I've had , I met some really good people who seem to have become lifetime friends , Eat great food , fresh deer meat & whiskey cake . Some of us woke up as drunk as we were when we laid down !. :D Enjoy !

It is a 12 hour drive for me, but would give me a chance to go to the Red river gorge. I am going to try and make it.
