2015 3rd Annual NC Smoke Butt Hang
At Falls Lake, Rolling View Group Camp Sites, Durham NC. May 27th-31st
Alrighty folks lets plan on having some good food, good company and good weather here in North Carolina
for a Smoke Butt Hang.
When: 4pm Wednesday 27th-3pm Sunday May 31st 2015
Where: Same place as last year, Durham, NC at Falls Lake Rolling View Group Campground ( 10 MILES FROM DURHAM 12 MILES FROM RALEIGH). Rolling View - 4201 Baptist Road in Durham. Baptist Road is on NC 98, approximately five miles east of Durham and seven miles west of NC 50. Coordinates 36.019039,-78.726387. Site 4 will be the main gathering site, reserved for Wednesday 4pm thru Sunday 3pm.
Site 3, right next door is reserved for Friday 4pm thru Sunday 3pm, for those who want to spread out more. It has its own fire ring. Remember site 4 slopes down and goes right to the water. Lots of trees to hang from.
What: It’s the Smoke Butt!!! There will be pork and fixins. Breakfast will be provided Friday and Saturday Mornings, by Hotlips and helpers. Dinner and dessert will be provided Thursday and Friday nights, also by Hotlips and helpers. Saturday night will be our Smoke Butts, made by some awesome folks. If you feel like making a side dish or dessert, please do. We’d love to try your food. Lunch will be on your own, everyday.
Hotlips is happy to let you use some of her cooking things to prepare your lunch, but you have to return it like you found it. If anyone wants to fix something for us to sample please do.
This will be a family type hang, so please be aware of your language and behavior around our smaller hangers. And remember little ears and eyes hear and see a lot.
Amenities: Water is available on site, as well as grills and picnic tables. We will have a fire ring at both sites. There are FLUSH toilets, HOT showers, parking, hiking trails, fishing, and kayaking. Pets are allowed, but must be on a leash at all times. No pets inside park buildings.
Raffle: We plan to have a small raffle table with donated goods. Nothing elaborate mind you, although we have had some items donated by vendors. Tickets will be 3 for $10. Available at the hang. Feel free to bring something to donate. If you donate an item you will get 2 free raffle tickets. Think along the lines of “Is this something I would want to win at a camping raffle”? Please make it worth your fellow hangers cost.
We are hoping our fellow hangers will be generous in donating to help pay for the site, firewood, paper products and food items. We’d also like to ask that you might bring a gallon of tea or 2 liters of your favorite soda or lemonade to share. It’s gonna be hot, think refreshing drinks.
Paper plates, bowls, plastic silverware, napkins and cups will be provided. But there will still be dishes to do. We’d like to ask that we have volunteers for clean up duties. We know these great hangers are always willing to help, and if everyone chips in it’s not a burden for anyone.
Important # 1: Since we have to figure out how many butts to smoke, and how many servings of cobbler will be needed, and how many plates you’ll be putting monkey bread on, before we go shopping for this, WE NEED you to sign up on our signup sheet. Please be sure to list spouse, kids and guests if you’re bringing them.
We’ll make a list of stuff we could use, like pop ups and coolers and such and you can sign up to bring something to help out if you can. Even if you can only do an ice run, your help will be appreciated.
Important # 2: The park gate is open from 8am-9pm. If you need to go out, or come in when it is locked, park your vehicle outside the gate area and we will get you to or from the gate. Phone 919-280-7849 to arrange a ride. If you are bringing gear either direction, mention this, so we know if we need to send a truck. If you are on call for work, park outside the gate.
