SJRR 2011 dates?

Mike, Where have you guys been? Haven't seen you much since Lake Norman. Parramores tent camping is sparse at that and they really don't have tent sites per say as you accustomed to. Most of the tent sites are in the center of the campground and pretty close to the bath house.

Parramores isn't all that big but more congested as they really pack the rv's in there. It's a snow bird community and pretty quiet there at night. Our group actually kinda livens it up a little bit. Correct Crafts everywhere on land and in the water. Hopefull they worked on the ramp a bit as it's got one heck of a drop off. Of course they water level has been down the last two years so maybe we'll get lucky next year. Hope that helps.

Flowery Branch is a very nice area.

Welcome to the south.

Steve, it looks like they are not going to go to the SJRR. However, I will be at the SJRR and I will bring my boat.

My inlaws are into camping in a big way. They are actually trying to sell their home to go on the road full time. They purchased a new fifth wheel last week. They are headed to Ocala State Park in January. The kids will have some time off for some holiday or teachers work day deal. I will be taking the family to see the inlaws in Ocala during January. The wife is concerned about pulling the kids our of school for the SJRR in late March. My wife told me this weekend that the inlaws want to take us to a place that you rent a pontoon and you go up a river and see Manatee and Monkeys.

My wife did realize this was the same place I was wanting to take them in March (SJRR). This could change, but it looks like I am headed to SJRR without them. I am going to make a reservation soon on a cabin. We can spoon together if your family does not go to the event. Ask Tim Moorfoot, I am a great spooner. We shared a place last year.

Donald

Steve,

Do not knock spooning until you have tried it. Tim was a little scared at first.

The family would have fun. They would be about 1.5 hours from the Disney Stuff if you really want to lay out some cash.

I had a blast last year.

Donald

Okay Guy's and Gal's I'm bumping this one back up cause it's the Day after Christmas and time start thinking about WARM thoughts and spring time gatherings. March will be here before you know and you don't want to be left out in the cold. Use your Christmas Cash and start planning and making reservations NOW!

Can a Mustang be considered as carry on,what is the cutoff Tim?

Tim - any suggestions on where to stay?   I may have 1 or 2 buddies coming with me so I might even be interested in a house on the water if there is anything like this available. Any thoughts?

Salty,

Reid P. rents a house nearby each year. He may be able to help you out. Call Race City Marine in Mooresville, NC to get his number. He has another business that he is at during the day. Paramores does have cabins. Actually they are mobile homes with log siding. This is where most will stay. It is called Paramore's Fantastic Fish Camp. They offer day slips for your boat. You can leave it in the water all weekend if you want to.

I hope this helps,

Donald

Parramore's

Gary, If you can fit the Mustang in overhead bin then by all means bring her baby!

Dave, kinda like Donald and Dr. have said...most stay at Parramore's as that is where all the non river action is. They have "cabins" on the waters edge which makes it a shorter walk to the covered boat parking but most cabins are within a 5 min walk to anything. Most will accomodate 4-6 Fans and some will sleep more but if you're like me. I'll sleep when I'm dead so no worries there. So book you a cabin and as Donald would say "Spoon Up if you have too"

The rec room is where we have the community cookout, and where Mr.Ralph gave us all a history lesson. It was cold last Feb so we fired up a bonfire, passed around a mason jar or two and just had and grand ol CCFan time rekindling old friendships and making a bunch of new ones.

A second CCFan SJRR soundtrack is in production as we speak so for a small donation to the site on site will get you one. Those who were lucky enough to get one last have probably worn it out . Well at least two have that I know.

If Parramores fills up with CCFans we might be able to spill over into a campground next door. It too is on the river and just up stream of Parramores. There isn't a website for it but its called. South Moon Fishing Camp.

Just google it and you'll come up with a address and phone #. I've only been by the place on the river and it appears to be a decent place. It is a fish camp mind you so it's nothing fancy and the "cabin's" are white center block but you'd only be there to catch a few weeks anyway.

Glad to here that some new Fans are gonna make the trip this year. You won't regret it and excitment is starting to build. We're working on a few surprises but will reveal them as they develop.

STAY TUNED!

John,

Tim made them last year and I believe that he forgot to give them out until the very end of the event. Many had already gone home. However, I did get one.

Don't let him kid you John,more likely he ran out more cool guys showed up than he thought

I am booked in the "Eagles Nest" right next door to Aligator Haven.

Looking forward to a great time in Florida!
