So do we need to reserve the campground spots individually, if we aren't paying (thank you for that).
Is bringing your own firewood still a no-no |
I called the Wildcat office this morning, according to them the ban on moving wood has been lifted. However, they have firewood there, so I may just buy some from them rather than hauling it around.
There was also plenty of primitive and "RV" sites left. The office will be open tomorrow so you could call today and reserve or take care of it tomorrow. _________________ Godspeed

That's awesome Stuart! I'm not far away but doesn't look like I will be able to come this year. I've heard how fun this trip is. _________________ "A rolling bus gathers no rust." |

Another great trip Jeff!
Thanks everyone, it was really good to see everyone again. Good times.
(Sorry I had to leave early, I had to go to the doctor, sinus infection.)
Until next year, hope to see you guys out camping... _________________ Godspeed

Since this is the 25th annual trip, and it is sooooooooooo difficult to top the previous year's route, the group that follows me this year will just have to trust me on this one.
I will say the '18 trip will be solid on the scenery and as much as 75% new route.
Nantahala Nat. Forest Saturday night, Chattahoochee Nat. Forest on Sunday night. This way, the trip will end closer to home than usual.
I have pre-run everything except the forest service roads.
We will leave Vintage VW at 10:00am Saturday instead of 9:00am as usual. _________________ I Corinthians 4: 1 thru 5

By the way, Vintage VW is located in a different spot than last year because that shop was destroyed by a storm last March.
VVW is now at 1980 Talking Rock Hwy. Drive to Ga Hwy 53 and Main street in Jasper. turn north toward Ellijay. The shop is at the top of the hill about 2 miles from the Pickens County court house. _________________ I Corinthians 4: 1 thru 5
