Hey everyone....Chuck asked me to post something on the camping arrangements for anyone interested....and here's the scoop!
It sounds like the majority of the people will being camping Saturday night into Sunday...there is Umstead State Park right behind the Parts Store...BUT...it has no electric / no water and only 28 sites first come, first serve....gates close at 8:00 pm - NO in / NO out after that......SO.....
The next option (which Matt & Liz and David & I like the best) is Falls Lake State Park which is 10 miles from the store but it has water / electric and (2) 170 camp grounds first come, first serve.....
David's family has land 1/2 mile from Falls Lake and we'll be coming in and dry camping there on Friday evening (including Matt & Liz and anyone else that would like to do the same).....
If you're coming in Saturday ,it would be wise to come to the campground first and find spots together on Saturday morning and then head over to the BASH after that since it's first come....they also close the gates at 8:00 pm but we figured we'd have 4 hours after the event to figure out if we wanted to go back and grill out or go out to eat......
SOOOOOOOO...after the lengthy message here's what I need to know:
Have a good weekend and tell me what you think.....THANKS!

SOOOOOOOO...after the lengthy message here's what I need to know:
- Is there anyone that wants to dry camp with us on Friday night?
- Do people want to grill out on Saturday evening at the campground or eat out? (so we know what food to bring with us)
Have a good weekend and tell me what you think.....THANKS!
