The campground has set aside 10 site's for us and will set aside more if we need them. The site's are premium pull-thru with full hookups.

They have cabins available if you don't want to bring your camper or you have friends who does not have a camper.

You can either call the campground or go online to make reservations. If you call the campground they will not charge anything to your credit card until you arrive.

There is a 2 day cancellation policy, meaning you have to cancel you reservations at least 2 days before arrival if for some reason you can not make it to the rally.

If you plan on visiting the cave or riding the go-carts you can order tickets online and save some money.

they have a large grass area that we can set the tents up for the pot luck.

ZoomZoom is reserved for site 162.
Gwozdzyk is reserved for site 163.
Jambalya is now reserved for site 143.

I will also be staying there for 2 days the end of April, so I can check out the local stuff!

Glad to have you attending Glenn. It's going to be a good rally.


Leon

Spring is here, feelin' like campin', so we are booked in Site 145 for the fall rally.

Wooo hoooo!

Brent

Great new Brent.


Leon

We are booked for the Fall Rally. Better news than that, we are right next to Billy. I guess I will find out just how much cooking he does.

Site 144

Lester

Just changed my reservation to come in a day earlier after looking at the distance to Chattanooga. We'll be there from Wed-Sun.

Anyone else coming in Wed or earlier ?

Brent

Just took the cave tour at Racoon Mountain. Met one the owners of the campground, Steve. Very nice folks and atmosphere here. Checked up and all the reserved sites we have are close together. Also, you just do about a 100 yard walk to the cave entrance from the campground.

There are 5 or six different tours from easy to 6 hours of crawling on your belly and jumping 30 ft deep crevases. Plus they have overnight camping in the cave.

Here is a link to the cave website:

http://www.wildcave.com

We may want to see if any of the group wants to spend the night in the cave one night. They said on weekdays, it is not so crowded, but on weekends there could be over 100 in the cave at night.

Glenn

We are also booked, but Tony has to call the campground to find out what site we have.

Wolfpackers, on 27 April 2010 - 10:37 AM, said:

Brent, we are coming in early but I don't remember what day, but I do know it is Wed or earlier. I am thinking Monday. Jambalaya, Lester, and maybe a few more will be coming in early also.


Leon

compulynx, on 27 April 2010 - 10:47 AM, said:

Thanks for the update Glenn. We might have a few sleep in the cave if they get in the dog house.


Leon

Crawfish, on 27 April 2010 - 02:21 PM, said:

I moved up my reservation to Thursday, so I will be there a day after you guys.

Glenn

By the way, the map on the website does not show the 160's, but they are between the 140's and the racetrack. 166 is by the main road down to 161 that is back where the fitness room is. The 160s point in the direction the 130's do.

Glenn

Here is a map I updated of the new sites. The map is not to scale, and the field between the Racetrack and the new sites is a large one.

I know the map is too big, but wanted to save the detail.

And yes, the numbering sequence is backwards from all the rest in the 160's. I have no idea why.



Glenn

Hello all.
We will be joining you on this trip. We are coming in on the 28th and heading out Sunday. I've heard that an Outbacker rally is a good time.......

We plan to be there also. Site 138. If anyone is interested Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park is not to far away. They claim the largest wood roller coaster left in the country.
At least Jerry has so many targets before he gets to us... funny how I still don't find much comfort in that.

Dave

man, this will be the largest rally to date.

glad to see some old faces around and new ones too.
cant wait to see you all.
lamar

campingnut, on 10 May 2010 - 08:50 AM, said:

OLD FACES? ......as in age or just been around the group for a while? lol Looking forward to the Rally.

This is shaping up to be a nice reunion!!! Glad Eugene and Ernie's clan have decided to join us again. .. We're looking forward to camping with all of you again.

Margaret

This rally as always will be a blast looking forward to meeting the new campers in the rally.

I was going through this post and on the first page someone seems to think denise is a Devil Anyone wanna claim responsibility for this? Lamar,Leon.

As for you Dave i have outgrown these childish pranks and iam more mature than other pranksters here

OutbackMac, on 10 May 2010 - 03:33 PM, said:

And I just won the Lottery and planning a trip around the world.


Leon

Mrs Crawfish, on 10 May 2010 - 02:20 PM, said:

Hey Margaret,

We are looking forward to it. It will be good to catch up with everyone. My crew has grown quite a bit (bad part it I think I have too).


E

now jerry i dont no anyone in this world who would say denise is a devil..
im sure that was directed at you. but im not the one..

lamar

Man Jerry, you are such a nice guy that minds his own business. I remember how you just shook your head at all the pranks last year. Poor Jerry

Kev iam glad i have one real man on my side, I did take the non provoked attact on my character well.

Crawfish, on 10 May 2010 - 03:06 PM, said:

ROFLMAO

swanny, on 11 May 2010 - 07:29 PM, said:

Come on Kev... Quit sucking up... He could still hit you anyway.

NO Offense Jerry!

Would anyone be interested in doing a cave tour as a group. My nine year old son and I did one this Spring and we spent the night in the cave. That same tour is available with or without the sleeping in the cave part and we can get a group discount. If a fat 50 year old can do it, you can too!

Reverie

Reverie, on 14 May 2010 - 01:19 PM, said:

What about a fatter 59 year old?

I would really like to do the tour.


Leon

Ummm, not the spending the nite in a cave part . . . .


C-

For those interested in the cave tour, I attached a copy of the rate sheet. The guide I talked to said on busy weekends, they can have have over 100 spend the night in the cave, so it is not like you would die alone if there was a cave-in. And look at it on the bright side, if there was a tornado outbreak, you would be one of the safest folks around. Its all about perspective,LOL.

Oh, and if you carry your campground receipt, you get a few bucks off the prices.

Glenn

I know where I am going if they sound off the sirens for a tornado warning.

Crawfish, on 16 February 2010 - 07:02 PM, said:

NC Outbackers - site 131 28th-31st

We booked site 131 for the 28th to 31st! We hope to make this Fall Rally this year! We will have our son Keaton home from China and it will be his first camping trip!
We just got home form Sadler's Creek and I think all who attended would agree we need to pray for NO RAIN for the Fall Rally!!!! The rain interrupted our visiting the last night and we bolted early to beat the next storm.

glad to see you guys again this fall. cant wait to see the little guy then too.
dont worry about the rain. its better to camp in the rain ,than it would be sitting at home.

see you then,lamar

Crawfish, on 14 May 2010 - 03:50 PM, said:

Don't Worry, this is an easy cave and not a long tour, (unless you spend the night).
Dave

Apparently, they are working on a new and improved website. Here it is: New Raccoon Mountain Website

Bob

I just called the CG and we are in. We are on Site #14. Arrive 10/28, Depart 10/31.
Hope y'all don't mind us camping with you, seeing as how we are tainted from living so far north now.

Bob

Bob, don't mind at all. You can set up camp next to me anytime. You need to camp with us every now and then just to keep your southern slang in tact. Going to be good to see you again.


Leon

Crawfish, on 08 June 2010 - 04:25 PM, said:

no leon, i think he need to be next to jerry so he fills more at"home".

just kidding bob, its will be good to see you back out camping with us.
see you then, lamar

Yeah! A visit from our wandering campers from the wilds of West Virginny!

Bob, you can camp next to me anytime but if I hear banjo music I'm getting nervous.



Reverie

Reverie, on 09 June 2010 - 09:51 AM, said:

Nick, you're behind the times. We slipped over the fence, and made good our escape from West Virginia.
We're back in civilization again.

Bob

We're in! I just booked site 166 and we'll be a part of the biggest rally, yet? Sounds like it will be a big one, anyway. We are lookin' forward to meeting y'all!

Glad you are going to join us Joe. You did get the dates straight this time, right? just kidding.


Leon

Crawfish, on 17 June 2010 - 04:07 PM, said:

Gosh! I sure hope so Leon! LOL! We are going to come in on the 28th of October 2010 and are leaving on the 2nd of November. That should do it, huh!?

Hay... The Outbackaroos are coming to the Chattanooga Fall rally.. We have site #16... so mark us on the list... Cant wait to see everyone and all our friends... We will be there for Friday and Saturday nights...

DAve and Susan

Hey everyone!!! Guess what....I'm coming to this ralley too...lolits been a year now since I went camping last...figured it was about time to get outta this town for something lol

Hey Everyone,

I know we are new here and don't know for sure yet if we will make the rally, but we are trying to work it in without back tracking on our trip.

It is always fun to have an event that we plan for and brings a little fun competition to the rally. How would a no-holds-barred cookoff be recieved? It also serves as a potluck too. It can be open to everyone no matter how you cook, crockpot, pit, oven, smoker whatever. Those that don't cook will judge (not a bad gig). I am sure we have some great cookers out there that would like to show off their culinary skills. Lester and Billy already seemed to be touted by others as the group cooks so I figure they'd be up for the challenge.

I need to know ASAP if we want to make this part of the rally. Here in TX you need to get up early and be quick to get the good fresh roadkill . With the economy being what it is competition is getting really tough out there.

Judging would be done in 3 categories:

Main dish (entrees)
Side Dishes
Deserts

I will try to start a Poll in the Poll Forum. If enough want to get envolved then we can get a list of who and what catagory, catagories they want to enter.

Livin The Dream

Curtis & Donna

Well, I talked a couple of neighbors into joining us for the rally. They weren't sure of their site numbers so this is subject to change:
Judy and Gene in site 33
Trish, Stewart and Emily in 152 or 153

These are nice people, let then get to know everyone before someone offers them the "Koolaid"
D

Well if they are scared of the koolaid then by all means don't introduce them to Jerry. Sorry Jerry, I could not resist that.


Leon

Crawfish, on 05 August 2010 - 02:18 PM, said:

I was worried about that, but EVEN Jerry wouldn't do anything to new people would he??? I mean he just couldn't could he??? Oh LORD! What have I done to them....!





I'm sorry too Jerry. (but please leave them safe, I'd like for them to come back)

dave you know better than that.
no-one is off limits to jerry..
so tell them now what can happen when jerry's around.

maybe they will come back next year.
lamar

hang in there Jerry, stay strong.

everyone is safe this year as denise and i will not be attending, her work schedule has changed

OutbackMac, on 09 August 2010 - 08:41 PM, said:

Bummer! (really) It won't be the same w/o our prankster.

Austin was looking forward to getting some of that breakfast stuff = what's it called again?


Carmen

Jerry, tell her to quit, it's your only option.

yeah jerry , who needs a stinking job.
you going full time next year anyway???

sorry were going to miss you. but i know ill sleep better now..
lamar

no full time camping Denise will have to work for 5 more years

Sorry to hear that, Jerry. I was looking forward to meeting a lot of the Southeastern Camper's. Even the pranksters! Maybe we'll run into you at another rally.

Oh no!! Say it isn't so! It won't be the same without Jerry & Denise. Hate to hear that you can join in on the fun.

i talked to jerry this weekend.
he's real sad that he cant make the fall rally.
but he said that things still may happen even if he's not around.
so watch out.. im sure he can still make things happen.
lamar

i just added the 2 families (alabama dave) talked about.

that makes us up to 27 families for this rally.
that is the largest group camping trip yet.
if anyone is not on the list please let me know.

lamar

Wait a minute! The reservation list has Gilligan on site 199. There is no site 199. I guess this is typical for Gilligan.


Leon

Crawfish, on 18 August 2010 - 08:56 PM, said:

That Gilligan is a rascal, isn't he!
Hope he brings some more of Mary Ann's Coconut Cream Pies to the Rally. Those last ones he brought were good!

Bob

Coconut Cream Pie! Did I hear somebody say Coconut Cream Pie?! Mary Ann's Coconut Cream Pie?! Mmmmmmmmm good!

Gilligan

I hope you bring that groovy transistor radio with the endlessly rechargeable battery with you. Maybe we can listen to some music from the "The Mosquitoes".

Reverie

ATTENTION SE CAMPERS GOOD NEWS


You can still have a rally without us. I post we,re not comming and the thread dies. cheer up

OutbackMac, on 02 September 2010 - 04:11 PM, said:

It's cuz we're all so sad that you won't be there, Mac. Somehow we will spring back and make the most of it, but it won't be easy!
Seriously, sorry you can't make it.
