    Well, I might be able to get over for this event. Is this our previous campsite? I am likely to arrive on my motorcycle again and would want to arrive in daylight.

    O K if that is where y'all want it, could someone give the spot ?.
    GPS cords would be nice.The trail covers a lot of ground.

    Also, if there is a 1.5 mile hike to get to the campground, for those of us who are not backpackers, can the site be reached by boat?.

    Inquiring [blank] minds want to know.

    Hope to see y'all there.

    The spot is going to be at the Evangeline Camp. It can be found on the map in the link in my signature. We are going to set up near the parking lot so those that do not backpack will not have to hike in. There will be signs pointing in the direction of where we will be camping. We did day hikes the last couple of hangs.

    Evangeline campsite is a great campsite. It has restroom facilities on site but water is not available so you will need to bring what you need.

    Evangeline is a great spot! Been there numerous times over the years. Trying to arrange my schedule to be there.

    BTW, I was able to convince the Evangeline Area Boy Scout Council down here to have an "Intro to Hammock Camping" class at the upcoming University of Scouting on January 21, 2012 in New Iberia. I had to volunteer to teach it, but hoping to get some converts from the experience.

    Sorry I don't but with the weather we are having a PLUQ looks like it would be fine.

    If January is any indication on how the rest of the winter will go it may be in the 90s come March.
