Harlan, who is staying where?

[Nuts]

Ttrying to figure out where to stay? If we stay too far away to drive the crawler to the trails will there be a place to park my truck and trailer close to the trails?

[jwend]

On the evarts side.. when you go in the park (past the park cabin) big open area on the right is where we always are.. I am going down that thursday night i Believe..

If any one is interested in meeting up to follow down I am planning on leaving thursday after work or Friday morn.... let me know

We plan on staying there too. We are hoping to secure a big enough space for all the CORE peeps. That will depend on how many are already there. Will roll out Friday morning and meet Chris "gothodgie" at the KY rest area and load his rig on Toolmans trailer. Then were off. We are shooting to be at the campsite by 11am. The rest area would be a good place to meet up and roll from there.

[jwend]

yeah i live 5 mins from there... there is a ton of room in that spot and there is another huge area below it too... I may plan on hooking up with you guys friday am then

[93 Krawler]

Since this will be our CORE run for May, most of the group will probably meet there as well. Should be a blast. :thumbup:

[tjrider]

[boomhauer]

just a reminder..you now have to pay to camp on the park. $10 a night

[Nuts]

I found a room to squeeze into at the Black Mountain cabins, and we are staying friday evening through monday morning.

[93 Krawler]

just a reminder..you now have to pay to camp on the park. $10 a night
You have to pay to camp inside the park now. When did that change? Even entering on the Everts side?

[tjjeepjeep]

Are they still doing the permit system or did that go by the wayside?

[93 Krawler]

According to the website, yes.

Permit Fees

Our permitting system uses a decal that must be placed on the vehicle in a clearly visible location. Permits can be purchased for a period of one year, or for 31 days.

Yearly Permits (One Per Vehicle)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
One permit: $35
(Family Discount): Second permit = $30
(Family Discount): Each additional permit = $20
31-Day Permits (One Per Vehicle)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each permit: $20

Multi-Vehicle Permits
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Register as many vehicles as you want on one permit. Affix the decal to a placard and ride a different vehicle each visit on the same permit.)
Yearly Permit: $40
31-Day Permit: $25

[philjbergman]

If you guys are going down during southern shine weekend, Me and some guys have a cabin rented on the Putney side near the restrooms. Looking forward to meeting some people to wheel with.

[boomhauer]

yes you have to pay to camp anywhere on the park now. verified this a couple of weeks ago when i was thinking of going down. $10 a night. even if you have a permit!

[93 Krawler]

Is that per person per night? I can't believe they are charging $10 to sleep on dirt with no facilities. That's BS! At least Putney has bathrooms and showers for the money paid. We stayed in Putney last year and it seemed like it took forever to get to the good stuff on the Evarts side. If you break on the Evarts side, getting back to Putney would suck.

[67fastback]

we went down to fall crawl and it was way better since they started charging for the pemits . They used the money to add signs on the trails and made better maps now too...They are usign the money to good use to take care of the trail system...:thumbup:
I have stayed on both sides now. Everts seems easier to get in and out of plus we stayed at the gas station cabins..they serve breakfast starting at 3:30 am best food in town at the gas station... ( they told us they stole the cooks and her sisters that worked down at the place there in town) now it sucks for service.....
:mad:
I recommend if you want to camp everts side just do it at the trail head there, big open area to camp just pasted the check in station....
primitive field and all but flat....:beers:

[tjjeepjeep]

Glad to hear the permit system is working and they're getting money needed to do maintenance. Need to do what we can to keep places open.

[93 Krawler]

I agree, but if they are going to charge for primative camping in the park itself, then they could at least have porta-lets or something like the Putney trail head does. We were there last fall and didn't have to pay to camp in the park from the Evarts side. We camped a top railbed so maybe that's why. I guess we will find out.

[jwend]

Ok.. so who is in!?? I think I am going to go down that Thursday so i will try to section off a spot for everyone... for those who dont know my rig and new tow rig i will post pics so you know its me..... would like to have a idea of how much space i need to retain.

[mckeddie]

I was with Joey and Boomhauer. Butch, Lester, Dennis, Sean Rose, Jason Wendling and Gorgeous George rounded out our group. We ran into a tube buggy and a white Toyota Truggy, but I didn't get their names. Oh, and Crawldad was with us most of the time.

[mckeddie]

Hot damn, imissed a weekend with dan? How'd the mitsi hold up? I didn't know sean was going either. I miss all the damn fun. I've been getting daily updates from butch to let me know what im missing.

[buckeyezuk]

the tube buggy n truggy was me and my bro in law. it was nice wheelin with you all. the late night race to lions den was preety cool. my temp gauge was not pretty by the time we got there.

[Trigger]

The Mitsi held up pretty well. His clutch was getting pretty worn out by the 2nd day. It was good wheeling with you as well, Zuk. Hope to do it again sometime.

[gubni]

It was cool seeing you guys there.
