i,m trying to set things up, but no solid plan yet. damn work, always getting in the way. lol

I plan on going down Thursday. I don't care how primitive it is since my family isn't coming. My friend backed out, hopefully Smokey or Dave will want to go.

Because it is part of the National Forest system, you can legally camp anywhere that is not specifically closed to camping (i.e. the day use area.) The question is how primitive do you want your campsite to be.

What is the outlook for camping if the campground is closed? Are there any areas to "legally" camp in around the area?

We will probably be in late Friday night too.

The Federal Reserve Bank is hiring help desk staff like crazy. We recently acquired a national service desk position for all the Federal Reserves. It would be more computer support than telecom. Let me know if you are interested. If you aren't savy on questions like how do you release an IP address, set a proxy on a machine, support blackberry, support VPN, or customer support type calls you wouldn't pass the interview though.

It looks like they still aren't done with the renovation.

"Campground was closed in early October of 2009 for renovation of existing facilities. It was hoped that a final inspection of work performed would have been done in December 2009, however this did not happen and inclement weather has further delayed final work reviews. We will post opening information as soon as it becomes available and appreciate your continued patience."

Maybe it will open by the 10th. There are some spots on the South end of the park that would accomodate larger groups but they don't have power. When we were there last October we camped right off the main road since the campground was closed. I think I liked that better.

A friend and I are planning on coming down late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Looking forward to meeting some of the new guys.

Yeah Smokey, got that Scrammy fixed up yet?

Pretty sure bet Andy and I will be there. I want to get back early enough from my son's event so we can get down there late Friday. Should we reserve a spot? I don't know if I have the link anymore to do that. Anyone have it? How cold do you think it might get at night? Would want electric site if it does get cold. I've camped with my son and his Scout troop enough this winter to not want to spend anymore cold nights in a tent.

I'm up for the 10th. I think I got a friend coming.Hopefully KFXrider can make it! What about Smokey?

I just had a wrench thrown in my trip gears. But it's a good thing. My sons principal called this morning and told me my son will be going to the Kansas State Geography Bee on April 9th. In the principals 15 year career at this school, this is only the second student to qualify to go. I'm stoked. I hope to get back in time for Andy and I to get there late Friday night. Or we'll leave REAL early Saturday morning. I want to ride bad.

So, who all is trying to make this trip?

I would love to go.. but I think thats the weekend of a friends wedding.. I will have to check.

Just talked with Lawnkiller. Once he checks with his "event cordinator", we might be up for this trip.

I still get on here every now and then. Been too cold to ride. April sounds like a good month to go ride. Looking for warmer weather. I've got a winch and a flat pack mounting system to get installed. The 10th and 11th is a kid free weekend for me. Might try to make this ride.

A friend of mine and I are thinking the 10th. Hopefully it warms up by then. I'll know more next week.

The site is pretty dead lately... what, nobody riding anymore?

yeah I am serious. I am usually off on the weekends. I will make sure I am off if your coming up. I am usually home by 4pm. We could try the danskins, silver city, or fossil creek all are about 45 min from the house. Who knows by June I might find some place else. Fossil creek has some crazy hills. I will make sure I will have the kids covered. Really they all have some nice hills because they are in mountains. Fossil creek is more of a butte and plataues. I posted some pics of Fossil creek on my facebook.

Dan if your serious whats your work schedule like? I will try and fly into Salt Lake City on a Friday am. Which would put me at your place that evening. Where do you want to ride?

Check out this video of a huge Dodge Power Wagon. I've always thought those old Power Wagons were cool.

Boy this site is still dead. kkirt my Dad was originally the one who suggested in April. Now he's going to have cataract surgey in mid-March and acts like he doesn't want to go go. I'm gonna still try and go the 3rd or 10th works for me.

It doesn't seem like Spring is near but technically it is only four weeks away. I don't know about you guys but I am tired of being inside. Looking forward to some quality out-door time as the weather gets nicer.

Turkey season starts Monday April 19th. The weekend of the 3rd would work best for me but I could do the 10th also.

Anyone else...

ya, I"m still around. went to a different shift to get away from dumb people. lol will try to do april if everything works out allright. good to see people are starting to think about getting out. It's been too damn cold for me. kids say i'm getting old, just becouse I can remember life before computers . ha ha

Well i have an extra quad and now have a snowmobile. All the snow should be gone by June. You just need to let me know. You remember my wifes quad the outlander 400 the 2 up. How far is your family from Mountain Home? While your flying out you should just add a couple of days.

I'd like to go if you will have me. I'm pretty low maintenance. I went down in October, good times. The campground was closed for renovation. It will be interesting to see the changes.

I might fly out to Idaho in June to visit some relatives. But I won't have anything to ride.

well you are going to have to keep me posted. You sure you dont want to check out St. Anthonys LOL. Anyway I will check it out to see how far of a drive it is from me. I will google it soon. Hope everything is going well.

Looks like the MidMissouri Mudslingers are having a meeting Feb 13 at 10:00 A.M.. Also they are on the Top 100 ORV Sites so go to there site and vote for them Mid Missouri Mudslingers

I'm wanting to go to chadwick in April. Anyone else interested? KFXRider?
