Land Between the Lakes, Wesk KY - October 3-5
Aight guys, lets get another ride together. We didnt get one up back in Spring and last fall no one showed up (besides me, castor, and fearthisracer) b/c you all were panzy's and wouldnt ride in a little mud. :blah:
Looks like the best time would be the October 3-5 weekend. It should be mild weather, but most of ya know how crazy weather gets round here in the fall. :p
Ok, here's the info:
We will be meeting in the main field (like in April 02 for those of you who were there). Its the field located on the right as you enter the park and stop at the gate house.

Camping
The best spot to camp at is probably going to be at Wranglers Campground. Its a large campground for horse riders, but alot of guys who visit Turkey Bay camp there b/c its only 10 minutes away. Last time I believe Rico and his buddy rented a cabin. Ill consider staying and pitchin in my share of the mula if someone wants to get together some spots. Even though I live 45 mins from it, it would be alot more fun chillin with you all (assuming the Urban Legend and the drunk coon doesnt show up :eek ). Here's the info on it...
Wranglers Campground
Campers can take advantage of primitive or electric sites, long-term campsites and group campsites. Wranglers also offers Camping Shelters for those wanting a less-rustic camping experience; they are ideal for families with children or those who want to camp but don't have the equipment. The one-room buildings have beds, ceiling fans, tables and chairs, electric outlets and a large porch, plus picnic tables and fire rings. Those staying in Camping Shelters use the campground restroom and shower facilities.
Wranglers Campground is undergoing expansion -- be sure to check back for updates on our newest facilities. Reservations are accepted for Camping Shelters only and may be made up to one year in advance; all other facilities are on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve a Camping Shelter, call 270-924-2043.
Primitive Camping at Turkey Bay
Camping is permitted in Turkey Bay OHV at designated camping areas near entrance road #157. Chemical toilets and unloading ramps are available.
There is also a 24-hour generator area, but the rest is primitive camping. Not bad if you want to rough it, and I believe you can head over to Wranglers and pay like $5 to use the bath houses if need be.
Fees
Basic Camping $8.00 a night (multiple night discount available)
Annual Permit $45.00 Valid 4/1/03 thru 3/31/04
7-Day Permit $25.00 Valid 7 consecutive days from date of purchase
1-3 Day Permit $15.00 Valid 3 consecutive days from date of purchase
Any more questions just ask. If we have enough people wanting to go then I will put in for that Saturday off work so I can spend all weekend up there.
Also, if you are wondering what to bring....talk to Rico or have him post a list here...something. Hes Mr. H/M so Im sure he knows what needs to be brought (yes, beer!...lmao).
Hope to see some new faces and old ones alike...and Rico, you better have yer *** down here. :scary:
