Turkey Bay in W. KY April 7-9

[IndyXJ]

Yeah, if you want to fish, you'd need the KY fishing license fyi. Dry counties btw, there is no "running to the store" within an easy distance. I'll have to check the camping at TB alcohol policy. Next closest and my favorite campsite is Rushing Creek in the middle of LBL.

Fine with me,etc.

I wish. I haven't racked up any vacation time yet, so I'll just have to wait until Friday night.

 

[IndyXJ]

I MIGHT do the Thursday night thing, but it would be late I'm afraid. I'll keep ya posted.

 

[esrasmu2001]

I won't be able to get the approval of Kitchen-6 until Friday night.

[Ramsey]

[Pat]

looks like we may bring a friend with an old willy's...should be ideal down there from the descriptions of the place.

 

[Lawn Cher']

I'll be showing up Friday morning... the wife is flying back from a week in San Diego Thursday night and it would be nice for me to be home when she arrives.

 

[IndyXJ]

Okay---Who's going or highly leaning towards it?

DON'T FORGET TO CALL THAT NUMBER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD if you think the area (aurora, ky) has had lots of rain,etc. I will be in contact with the locals from www.itsajeep.org on that.

I'll be showing up by Friday afternoon it looks like. I assume everyone is gonna try and camp at Turkey Bay itself? They have an airstation for the people driving in but you need your own hose with connect/disconnect.
