Put me down for 3 spots.
I might be able to make another trip up there, but that's so far away (as in time) and I am not good at planning....
well since I'm no longer camping, i won't be attending. I do hope all you guys have a great time though.
Hey! I resemble that remark :eek:Quote:

I was going to say before I saw Muskrats post that you would not avoid any crowds on memorial weekend. That week end is always crazy with boats on lake Greenwood. I would definitely avoid that weekend!
Consider it done. List to be started soon. . .Quote:

I can provide a copy of the permit to anyone wanting to come in on Thursday just in case I can't make it to the island in time.
I would like this to be considered a FAMILY friendly event. We will set aside camp sites 1, 2, and 3 for FAMILIES and sites 4 and 5 will be reserved for the more mature campers.
Below are a list of the County restrictions for the island. Please read them and be willing to abide by them (at least most of them. an exception might be made for the first prohibited item in #6 as long as it is discreet and in moderation).
We had a GREAT time with a GREAT group of people last year with this and I am looking forward to this year's hang and meeting even more hammock enthusiasts.

I would like to come as well. Can someone post the GPS coordinates of the parking and the island? Might have to check it all before May to see what the paddle is like.
