Table Rock State Park SC

[quicksilverbill]

Hi All,

I'm very sad to say that we do, indeed, have a conflict this weekend and will not be able to get to Table Rock. Know you'll have a lot of fun and we wish we could be there.

There are lots of great places to camp in our Asheville "neighborhood" so anytime there's an interest in doing this again anywhere nearby, we'll do our level best join in.

Have a great time this weekend and please report back on how things went.

Regards,

Bill

You just can't take me anywhere, so it seems!

 Confession time:  I scared my Husband on our first time out with new Axxess over Valentine's weekend, 5-6 weeks back.  He reported back on this forum, about the Axx and the Ram, but didn't tell ya'll that I ruined our weekend when I became sick, somewhat out of the blue.  It scared him (I think) and I believe that for now, he does not want to be out of town with me away from doc/hospital.  Can't blame him.  Been in tests since then with final results just received today.   I've been grounded, so to speak, for duration of doctor's prescribed treatments (next 8 weeks). After that, all systems go!

But for Table Rock SC event, we are very sorry and hugely disappointed, but we will not be able to attend after all.  I'm trying to look for the silver lining and wondering how not to think of each of you special people and what we have missed as the weekend approaches.  Decided that this will give us a chance to take my own silly advice to Paul of this forum when I suggested that he  "just camp...in the driveway!"  Maybe we'll grill a couple of steaks there too!  

Liv Life to the fullest and blessed be!

[/quote]Good idea to grill some steak! There is like 7 foot of snow in my backyard not sure I'll be able to grill steak outside but if you can do it!   I would have loved to participate to the gathering but my Camplite is in storage until May 2, and there is too much snow here to even think of camping!

You don't even see my deck on this picture it's all covered with snow!

@gwbushhog better safe than sorry. At least you have a direction/treatment plan, that has to be better than just sitting in the dark. Hope it all goes well.

[/quote]You probably know this, if you have reservations and can't camp on a reserved date, SC State Parks will let you transfer your reservations to another date within an 11 month window for minimal charge.  Just call directly to the SP location office where reservations are made and let them change the date.

Just a thought!

Kool Karen and I just brought Campy home from FL and it looks like we can make it Fri to Sun!

Without scrolling back through 9 pages, where should we try to get a site - if its not too late, that is.

People have reservations on both loops. Pick one that is long enough and wide enough.
