This is the web site of the camp ground I have the IN with..
http://www.happidayscampground.com/

I really love the place the owner Todd really went above and beyond when I destroyed my 2 upper control arms and 1 u-joint last year. He hooked me and MedicJayCook up with internet so I could over night my CA's from Rough Country right to the camp ground..

That place looks great. A campground is a campground in my opinion.

Well I e-mailed the owner of the site to see about a discount and how many we need to get one.

Their 50's dinner also serves awesome food. We only eat there for breakfast but makes for a nice start to a day..

Well I figure I'll put up a calendar and we can all look at the dates to see what works for most.

For me I can't do anything the first 2 Tuesdays or the 3rd Thursday, I'm a Cub Scout leader and those are my meetings.

Made it easy and added the days I can't do it. As I get info I'll edit and upload the info onto the calendar..

Ya, I've been on a few up that way, but that seems a bit farther up from the area we're talking. Than again we could to a road trip day and explore farther out..

I'm thinking either the 30th April - 2nd of May or the 28th - 30th of May..

So far but let see who else has days they can't do it and go from there..

May 20th is my birthday...

Ive always wanted to do a "convoy" of jeeps on the highway. lol
I think me and Shelley will end up taking my jeep instead of hers, Just to keep the wear and tear off of hers. Hers is still stock, Mine has a ~4" lift and should have 31" MTs by then.

Only problem I see with this is My jeep doesnt have recovery points (unless you count the rear leafspring mounts.)

A list of "Required" Items would be good too.
Stuff like First aid kits, CB, Flashlights, etc.

No, but I will see about getting one, and some front hooks.

We may have to end up taking hers, just for that reason...
