All are welcome to come and camp either in my yard (in the middle of Indian Trail Conservation Area) or 1 of the 5 designated camping spots spread throughout Indian Trail Conservation Area in Dent County. My yard consist of large trees, lookout tower VERY near, 3 picnic tables, water nearby and use of our bathroom as well! I also have 2 BBQ grills available for use. The other campspots consist of a mowed area and rough fire rings, no grill, no tables, no water but, water can be accessed at either my yard or the shop spigot very near our house. I will provide campwood for those camping in our yard. Everyone must supply their own camping supplies including food and drinks. Even if you are not a camper but still want to come by, that's ok, BUT, you should stop by the posted coordinates (our home) and sign the log. I will be at home from noon on.....
You are welcome to camp either Friday the 9th and/or Saturday the 10th. A tournament of washers for the adults will take place Friday starting at 3:00 and again after dinner Saturday evening. A scavenger hunt for the kiddos will also start at 3:00 on Friday and again after dinner on Saturday. A representative of the Bonebrake Center of Nature and History will be on site Friday and Saturday with their "Who's scat is that?" display.
After a fireside chat on geocaching Friday night, from 7:30 till 9:00 my astronomy guru buddy and I will have a few telescopes and laser pointers to take you on a tour thru our VERY DARK SKIES! There is only 1 nightlight in these 13,510 acres! That will be published as a seperate event (event #2). Feel free to just stop in for the astronomy event! Be sure to check out GC6QRY6. There are motels/hotels in Salem for the non-campers. Saturday night from 7:30 till 9:00 there is an non-geocaching astronomy event at Logger's Lake in Reynolds County that I will attend and anyone that wants to tag along is more than welcome!
Indian Trail contains 13,510 acres with SEVERAL miles of roads. There is a shooting range, 30+ acre lake with concrete boat ramp and floating dock, 80' fire tower, over 40 food plots, and critters galore! With 900 acres of Savannas and 300 acres of glades, wildflowers are present as well! Maps will be available at sign-up and are scattered on different informative signs around the area.
