Outing info..... Dudes…….as Dicktator Kevin stated, we had an update talk the
other day…….was back up at Twin Knobs today, so here’s a bit of additional
info……At the check in entrance station, everybody will be given a parking pass
to hang on the rear view mirror…….we have 2 group sites…….East (Pavillion) and
Tent……….not sure how they will hand out the parking passes for each site, but
just take the one they give you and should be good to go…….can figure out
parking passes, campsite pick, etc. when back at the group site…….Until about 3
weeks ago, the limit per site was 10 people for a total of 20 since we have 2
sites…….it’s now 20 per group site for total of 40……glad they changed that
maximum number as at last count, had about 24 Dudes attending, plus a few day
visitors……so should be good to go……When the campground concessionaire Tony
finally returned my call a few days ago, he talked about distancing, etc.
etc……said they’d be over to “check on us”……..if they do stop by, probably best
to be following the goofy guidelines as best we can, so we hopefully won’t see
them again coming back to “check on us”…..told him a lot of us have had
vaccine……he said that’s good but they gotta do their thing and all that……At
campground entrance…..huge sign………..Alcohol beverages prohibited………..not sure
how serious they are about that, but probably good idea to keep liquor most out
of sight, if they gonna be coming over to “check on us”……As Dicktator
mentioned, feel free to bring dollies, wagons, wheelbarrows, etc……come in handy
to get stuff, in case of rain (It’s not gonna rain) but………..can get gear and
stuff from parking lot up to the covered shelter pavilion, then figure out a
campsite…..Also, there will be tarps, of course, but those stand alone canopies
would come in handy……..there is a big serving table next to the hugeass
grill………stand alone canopy come in handy there……. After leaving campground
entrance station, will make a left back to the group sites…….then another
left……….at the sign that says East Group and Tent group site, the
East/Pavillion site is to the right……..Tent site straight ahead………..probably be
good idea at arrival to take the right to the East/Pavillion site……..it’s a
loop,………….check it out then back to main road, make a right over to the Tent
site……….it’s a loop also……….that way, we can see which area preferred to set up
campsite………Really looking forward to this year’s outing and seeing
everybody………… Thanks, Scoutman….. From: gtd-net-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

reminder just in from ScoutMan central: GTD’s might want to bring a wheel
barrow or hand truck to facilitate moving gear to their respective campsight
AND moving firewood to the respective FireMan bonfire. A wheelchair
tournament/race was proposed, perhaps a Rughead walking stick three legged
race? What could go wrong? TarpMan also mentioned the likelihood of THEMAN
coming by to count heads and measure interpersonal distancing in accordance
with the random whims of those that know better for us all, until they move
that goalpost. I suggested we could each bring a hog and feed the revenuer to
them in a time honored bootlegger fashion but that was voted down by a majority
of ScoutMan, who’s way more civilized than me. There may also be a request for
group ID upon entering the state/fed park for those coming in for the day,
black armbands with a golden crown will be issued for ease and rapidity of
identification by THEMAN (keep in mind it is for your own good). Meanwhile,
I’ll be smoking a couple of pork shoulders (totally unrelated to the
revenuer/hog feeding) on Saturday in anticipation of Pam and a few other
spousal units coming down for a bit of an €tB memorial complete with some of
his ashes (or maybe some from the bbq? at any rate there will be ashes).
Spousal units are expected to crash for the evening at the Comfort Inn just
North of our campground and leave the GTD’s to fish, play mumbly-peg or
whatever level of respectful debauchery we’ve come to enjoy or tolerate per
each comfort level. Any spousal units will be required to figure that shit out
for themselves, as most have some level of contact or can get it. Hopefully
Brian will bring his ax as drinking and wood chopping was a pleasurable enough
past time, though the firewood supplier is likely building his own firewood
kiln to dry said firewood after hearing from SCOUTMAN for bringing us green
wood last October. Poor guy probably is having nightmares, I’ll let him know
he’s lucky to be able to dump the firewood and not stack it in order of size,
species and % moisture content with SCOUTMAN as our receiving clerk! Looking
for a good time with all the dudes regardless of regulation... or deregulation.
