I'll just toss this out there, and y'all can decide since it does not matter to me.

They're calling for a cold front to move in Saturday. Looks like a little rain is in front of it. Would you kids want to still camp at Meadow Knob, or would you want to move to a lower elevation? At a lower elevation it may be a few degrees warmer and we would be shielded from any wind.

For a nice lower elevation camping area, I was thinking about the Switzer area. There is a nice "field" just past the concrete bridge on the right. If that one is taken, there is another nice camping area a little farther down (about 100 yards) on the left. This one is in the woods and there is a no field.

Discuss.

Meadow Knob will have so much better TV and cell phone reception

Are you monitoring a CB channel and/or ham repeater or simplex frequency?

Are you coming, John?

My HAM needs a new battery. It's done. Can't even turn the radio on under battery power. Times are tough and the stock market is low....can't afford a new battery.

I dunno. I wouldn't make it before Saturday.

I saw on TV where Mr. Wizard made a battery out of a potato.

Either place is fine with me....and I don't think Ivan cares. We are packing very light b/c of just staying one night so we will be pretty mobile.

I've got some chili mix and ground beef--should I bring that and maybe a dutch oven (thinking about buying a basic Lodge version for camping)?

I'm not sure what I'm cooking, yet. Probably a dutch oven apple cobbler for sure, but I'm not sure yet what's for dinner. Since the swine flu is going around, I was thinking about cooking something pork related. Bacon Explosion sounds good.

Doesn't matter I suppose...

Ran into a couple guys from down south I think in Bath County who heard about the camp out - they're exploring bath but said they'd be at GWNF Sat. It's a built up silver D1 with a nice trailer. I won't be there till Friday night or sat morning. I'm fishing the Jackson!

I don't know where I am. What's today?

I think it's the day before tomorrow.

How was the Internet access in the DR? I have some friend's going Saturday that were wondering.
