View Full Version : Hatfield/McCoy ride - Camping
Anyone that is interested in going on the H/M ride June 28,29 &30th and needs campsite info, reply to this thread. We are going to make reservations soon.....so.....if you guys wanna stay at the State Park, let me know....I'll call it in for you guys.
Eric
Im game how many tents can you fit on a site?
Last year we only needed one site. We had one big 5th wheel with us and we had 2 big tents (5 men + tents). I would say you can get atleast 3 tents per site....if not more...
Eric
Sounds like mostly everyone is going to be using tents. Maybe we'll just call in two sites. That should be enough room for around 6-7 tents. Whats our final head count? If there seems to be more than 15 people going, I might get a 3rd site.
Eric
well me and one riding buddy are definite and maybe 3 more.
how much are the sites?
Count me in,,,still looks like I'm goin solo,,but I'll have my tent and etc...

sign me up........I'll have friends with me but not sure how many. what are the accomodations there? showers, camp fires, ????
Yep...they have showers that are actually pretty nice for a campsite and they do have fire pits for camp fires. I dont do alot of camping, but the people we go with do.....they say its one of the nicest places they have been to.
Eric
do you remember what the price per site was?

Ok.... quick update... camp site reservations should be done this week. (actually tomorrow). I'll let everyone know how much the site is. I am only getting two because it looks like only 10 or so guys will be joining on top of our crew. If you have any questions, let me know.....later

Ok, I need a headcount/tent count. I figure we can fit around 4 big tents on a site. I know we will have a 5th wheel and probably atleast 2 big tents with our group. This will take up most of our site including our quad haulers (aka trucks). Maybe we should get three sites just to be on the comfortable side....
Well as far as i know it will just be me and one other but others say they might go. If it will be a problem we will just get our own site and **** everyone can use it as extra space. I just wanna be near all the action. :devil :blah :square
Ok, we reserved 2 sites. The 2nd site should be open for around 3-4 big tents (depending on size)...we might even have room for a tent on our site after we figure out who all is going in our group. The place does not take a deposit (but you do reserve your space)...you pay as you arrive to your site. I think we might have paid something like $5 per tent and our friends with the 5th wheel paid $30 for full hookups. These prices might have gone up since the trail system has been growing. When I get home, I will post the website for the campsite and the phone number.
Looks like this is our list so far:
Myself
Knighttime (Mike)
about 5-7 of our local friends
Rico and his roadie :huh
Taco & his gang
400EXgirl and her dude (they live local)
4punks? are you still going and how many....
-Extreme (Steve) and his gang...let me know how many
If anyone else is going, let me know so we can make sure we have enough space.
BTW, I recommend this campsite...seems the most secure, VERY nice camping areas and is about 20 min from the trailhead. There are closer camp sites...such as devils arse (or whatever its called) but it looks very shady.
Oh and I almost forgot...be sure to bring your drinking mug for the evening! :D :blah
Eric
Oh, I almost forgot...when I get home I will post rough directions, websites and any other information you guys should need to find this place.

If you guys have any other questions, let me know.
BTW, looks like they updated this trail system since last year. About 20 more miles and ALOT more black trails (the good stuff :D) Black=most Advanced trail
Eric
how about those campsite prices hoss.:blah :blah
Something like $19 per site/per night. Check the website....personally, whatever it is...I'm paying it. Its not that much....I think the $19 per site/per night was even for a 5th wheel with full hookups. So I'm sure a tent site would be very cheap...
Eric
I emailed them thankya for the link.:blah

Count me in.
woohoo
dont forget your mug:devil :blah
Looks like we got two sites. Each one has a camper/5th wheel. You guys are more than welcome to stay on our site....they have no limit to how many tents you can fit on it. Also, if it comes down to it, they should have other sites open....this is their off weekend.
Eric
I can't wait,,,,I still don't know who's comin with me,,my dad or one of my other riding buddies,,,heck I might just pick up a hitchhiker and bring them along..:D

what pace will everyone be riding at? EX pace or more of a utility pace?

WFO.....:D
You thinkin about bringin your dad with ya again??? My dad might be comin too,,don't know yet,,maybe they could ride together,,at a slower pace..:huh
froggieboi
04-16-2002, 01:44 PM
yeah if there will be some slow pacers then ill see if he wants to go but if not then ill just come alone.
We ride at a pace to where everyone can keep up. Every once and awhile, if some guys get a bug up their butt....they can take off and just wait for the other people.
Remember, we are riding with a few 4x4 quads, so the overall pace wont be very fast....just more techical riding (ie...find a hill climb and watch people try it, mudholes...etc)
If you feel like riding fast, just grab me and a few of my buddies and we'll run 'em WFO. :D
We have a wide range of ages going....I'll probably be one of the youngest (24) and goes all the way up to people in their 40's....
Eric
Welp.....so far everything is on plan. I think knightime and a few of our friends will be leaving Thursday evening, so we will be all ready to go for Friday. It also looks like we are going to be bringing down a few turkey fryers for turkey and wings.
I'll have to post some pics of our trucks so you guys will find them at the campsite (which will be very easy to find...its only a one road campsite...cant get lost).

LOL, I'm a vodka man (Belvedere sp?). Its been awhile since I've had some good whiskey. I'll trust your knowledge when it comes to that kind of booze. :cool:
Makers is top notch buddy,,hand crafted in fancy bottles,,I'll probably bring some wild turkey 101 ta go with the,,,,deep fried turkey I guess.

LOL, I hope it doesnt end up like Knighttimes camp this past weekend (first day of trout). Drank WAY TOO much. As soon as I got out of my truck, a beer was magically placed into my hand. This weird occurance kept happening all night until I passed out. Very strange..... :huh I think the X-files did a special episode about this camp.... (Camp "Drink Beer as if it was water and you were in the desert") :D

a few of my buds are going to hatfield mccoy next weekend. I will report back with their experience sometime next week. I decided not to go since I have a chance to make some cash that weekend. anyway, they will be staying at the devil anse campground.

04-28-2002, 05:18 PM
well.........they just got back. they stopped in here to brag about how much fun they had. they rented a about a 26' ryder truck to haul the quads & use as a camper. they stayed at the devil anse campground. they claimed the trails were good, and the trail maps were very helpful. they said everyone at the campground was cool and they had a great time.

Eric, Chris, another dude named Eric, and myself will now be leaving on Thursday for Hatfield/McCoy.
And I lost a freakin' bet that I'll explain now
I have to set my quad up in the following manner for the West Virginia ride to fulfill my part of the bet:
Bright Pink powdercoated frame
Replace stock plastic with light blue plastic with polka dots
ridin' gear = clown suit with big f'n shoes
and to top it off,
6-10 helium balloons have to be tied to my grab bar at all times even while going off jumps.
I cant believe what thats gonna look like
:huh
What was the bet about??? I need more details...:confused:
knighttime
05-10-2002, 08:13 AM
and it got started when I lost a few games of pool :( and yes there was alcohol involved.
ROFL!!! This should be good!! :D :D :D

haha no thanks... i will take the picture...
Ahh if I only was engaged to 400exgirl (who rest assured will not be reading this!) I could bring down some fine women who like to party to the gathering Friday or Saturday night. I spent many a evening with the women down there and they are pretty darn wild. I suppose there is nothing else to do down here when you are young. ;) I could fix Rico up with a girl I used to know from down near H/M named Tara Tory (get it?) who has a whole lotta territory that Rico could cover once he gets a couple in him. :blah Just let me know Rico, I am sure she could come down for a hot stud like you. :D
knighttime
05-10-2002, 07:24 PM
bring some down for me, will they care that i'm wearin' a clown outfit? :confused:
Well it depends on which ones I bring. Some of them will just be happy if you are a man and have most of your teeth. Others are more particular. I am sure Tara Tory could keep you occupaied for a while. :D
Tora Tora,,wasn't that the name of a por......nevermind...just bring em Maoz..I don't think me or Knighttime have decided if we're gonna ride or just drink and look at the quads..:huh
Is this thing still on or what?????? :blah

05-31-2002, 07:52 AM
I'm sure there is room. Eric is gonna be on vacation in North Carolina until next weekend. We'll then have about 2 weeks to plan what's goin' on. I think some of our group are gonna leave on Thursday after work.
Yep, its still on...and **** ya, we got room fer ya.... Just a big tent right?
Anways, I'm outta here until June 10th....head'in to the Outerbanks in NC. Later..... :D :D :D

Also do they sell gas on the trails like a reststop on the highway. My 420SS drinks gas like a pig. Are there any taverns at these reststops? :confused:

There was and old bull and a young bull standing at the top of a hill and down below were all these cows. The young bull says to the old bull lets run down the hill and screw one those cows and the old bull replies to young bull lets walk down the hill and screw them all. :D

I just got back today from devil anse a week of ridin..it was nice they just opened up 40 miles of new trails at bearwallow. WE went off the map and found some fun jeep trails and stuff. old brady even went ridin with us and he gave me an autographed 1st year shirt. and a carved key chain...we drove to rockhouse one day those are the nicest in there in my opinion. Word of advise have strong tires theres a lot of rocks. When we went to rockhouse we drove into a town called gilbert filled up at the gas station and got a subway..lemme tell ya theres some nice lookin girls over at gilbert. On the last day the two things brady said to me was finish school and keep your dick in your pants until you do.lol i thought that was funny. I really encourage you goin to devil anse and trailer out top the other places and ride ride out of the campground when you wanna ride at bearwallow. There are also 3 or 4 little cabins you can rent up at the top of the hill really nice. Have fun i know i did!!!!
I concur - there are some very nice looking women in Gilbert. Heck maybe even Rico can find one. :D
