New Years Eve Camping, N. GA.

Just throwing it out to my buds.

Where?
Natootely Creek, fs-58, Duck Rd

Really cool river/creek run right beside all the camping spots. The spots are free, and first come first served. This time of year is usually not a problem with lots of people though. We were up there two weeks ago and there was not a sole around. Just the way I like it.

We will be heading up Friday, and coming back Sunday.

This is a family friendly ordeal. Alcohol consumed by adults is just fine, alcohol consumed by idiots...not so much.

I dont have many pictures of the area, ut this will give you an idea.

Nice Power Wagon...

...I'll be there, Stumpy. :cheers:

I really want to make this Stump. Just making sure, stock Jeep pulling a pop up would be ok? We wouldn't be "wheeling" but I could go for a peaceful trip.

 

[stumpXJ]

Absolutely Mark, stock Jeep would pose no problem at all. Check out the Expo thread for more details. There are a few of us so far.

 

[High2by]

I went over and read the thread. I have no idea where the place is. Would a GPS get me there? I mean with an addy?

 

[stumpXJ]

There is no address to speak of... I could get coordinates for you? Or I could meet you somewhere near civilization and you could follow me in. When are you thinking of coming down?

 

[High2by]

If I can get off Friday, maybe then. If not it would be Saturday mid morning.

 

[stumpXJ]

Ok, I put in a request for Bill to post coordinates or a map. Lets see what he comes up with on Expo. Either way, i will get you there.

 

[stumpXJ]

Mark (and anyone else), Bill just posted a map on the Expo forum with coordinates.

clay off the jeep.

Good to meet you Greg! Glad you stopped by, and hope to see you next time you come up! That red clay sucks!!

No many UFO's, a fair amount of rednecks though.

Andy, I didnt get it... I have zero signal out there, whats up?

Here are a few pictures, some of which are stolen from Hildweller.

My camp set-up.

One of my pups, Jordan. Doing what she does best.

My other pup, Brody. Likely looking for fallen food crumbs... what she does best.

This was directly behind my camper. Nice way to be lulled to sleep, and a nice way to mostly hide my 1 year olds screaming fit in the middle of the night. (sorry bout the nightmare Bill...lol)

Ok... I did a LITTLE wheeling in the campsite rock garden.

Me geeking out with some new topo software I am playing with on the way in...

How'd it work out, Stump?

How'd you like my daughters desktop background? I left that on there just for you. lol

Works like a champ, had to do some clean ups and remove some stuff I didnt need. Ran a few defrags and added my personal stuff. It does just want I wanted it to do. I may play with it a little more to get the video performance up, but im completely happy with it thus far. Got a high capacity battery for it, so its good for about 6-7 hours without power.

I was wondering about the background...lol. Tell her I said it was beautiful.

 

[Lowrange2]

Awesome. Glad you're happy with it. I need a new battery my my current lap top.

I'll make sure I tell her.

 

[Lowrange2]

How do you reach the shifter with the laptop mounted there? lol
