This event will be all day Saturday Sept. 30th 2006 beginning at
10am until dark, or overnight if you like.
Each person or group is asked to bring a sack lunch. Don't
forget to bring your coffee and donuts, for Sunday morning.
For the evening meals you may join the group and eat family
style or do your own thing.
There are no stores for miles. Make sure to bring everything you
need. — civilization is far away. There will be two hikes, one just
before lunch, and one Mid afternoon. Both hikes will have some neat
sites and some gps finds. There may other hunts near the camp. A
drawing for some good door prizes will be after the days hikes,
around 6pm. You must be there to win.
The coords will bring you to the fire ring we will use for the
evening fire. We will have campsites numbers 5, 7, 10, & 12 for
Friday and Saturdays Nights. There are no tent pads, we can put as
many tents per site as we want, and have room for. If you are
traveling a long ways, or just up the road, you may join us Friday
night for a two nighter. Thanks to Birdies, she negotiated a pay
per person of an exorbitant fee of $2/per person/day. Thats man,
woman, child and even infant, but its only $2/day/night.
Do not paid at gate. Tell them you are with the Lacy Hiking
Group. Johnnie and Allen will take up the money and paid a lump
payment for the group. The gate will close at 10pm, but we will
have a key. Be sure if you are arriving late That you have some
ones cell number that is there in our group.
No firearms. No OBVIOUS alcoholic beverages, NONE outside of
your private camp area. PLEASE no walking around with a Bud in your
hand.
Dogs are permitted if they are on leash, same for horses. Dogs and
horses are free though. So folks can bring all the well-behaved
dogs and horses they want for free, but you might not want to bring
all the neighborhood kids, as they're all $2 a head weather they
are well-behaved or not. Fires are restricted to the fire pits.
Birdies picked us what she thought was the nice one. They generally
try to provide some wood for use, but we suggest that given our
enjoyment of the fires we have had in the past, we that have fire
wood, continue to load up some wood to bring as well.
There are water spigots scattered through the site. There is a
playground adjacent to us. Not far away are some MOD-URN
facilities!
Please be WARNED all drivers that when going through Whitesburg,
Georgia one must assume it is as scurrilous a place as Ludiwisci,
Georgia was back with Lestor Maddox was Governor back in the 60's.
Ludiwisci was FAMOUS as the most notorious place for out-of-towners
to get tickets for speeding. Whitesburg STRICTLY enforces their
speed code.
The McIntosh Reserve is located down Hwy 5, just below the turn
off for Bob's Fish Farm. To get this far, you will have to drive
around one of the THREE "round abouts" that are in Georgia so far.
About five years ago they put up a round about in Whitesburg and
one in Roopville. After one year, they had less accidents at the
intersections with the round abouts than in the years pervious when
they were 4-way stops. As a result of this research, you will now
see more round abouts popping up around Georgia.
We will be close to the amphitheater (plans are in the works for
a movie at dark Saturday night) and the large, round pavilion.
There may be weddings or other events scheduled there and we're
expected to mind our manners and not whoop or spit or make nasty
comments about the bride during the ceremony. It is a short walk to
the river, and there is a nice overlook and if it's warm enough and
you feel that we're far enough downstream from Atlanta that you're
brave enough, there are some shoals there that I guess brave hearts
or fools can go play or fish from.
Remember helping Bubba set up his farm last year?
The Game will be centered around his farm again this year.
