Is a Spring Mill date set?

[Jst83]

But I guess it will be a good test rum before Minden.
Scott

Scott when you go to Minden, what route are you planning? I can tell you the way "not" to go as well as a few bumps along the way.

Don't really have the route planned out yet whatever is the shortest and quickest. A friend of mine is going with me and we're driving all night. I'd really love to hear what way's not to go.

Turckey run sounds great. Is it on a Fri and Sat again? I think the wife can get off for that. Do you know what sites?

Turkey run .... Do you know what sites?

Minden -
Scott, I made the mistake of going up I-65 to I-80. Next time I'll go up I-65 to SR24 across to (toward) I-74 in Illinois and then back up to I-80.. (in other words- stay clear of Chicago). After that, the trip was fine; all Interstate to Minden.

Turkey Run. Not sites yet. I need to see the Park and check it out.

From the map, the sites around #38 to#65 look good as well as the loop #220

Anybody camped in these areas could help us on this one.

[Jst83]

Look 220 looks neat but doesn't have that many sites 38 to 65 has more sites. Guess it would depend on haow many you think might be there.

I was thinking 70 to 29 up to 80. Any disadvantage to this route?
I'll have to do some more looking.

I might try and make a day trip to turkey run next week to see it and take Pics.

Thanks

Minden,
Looks like a whole lot of us are going to pop in on #29 at some point.

Most of Southern MO an maybe Arkansas will go that way.

That will have to be a site for the passer byers. Should turn a lot of heads.

I'm planning on driving through the night the night before I should be at that point by light.

Scott, I live in Marion, so my route didn't include I-70. The main point was to stay away from Chicago. Your route will certainly take care of that.
I keep thinking you live in Greentown (near Kokomo). I know (now) where Greefield is along rt 9. I go thru there when I go to Madison.

If you do get to Turkey Run, please check out the loops that we discussed earlier (#38 , #220). The "RR" modern restroom is always a good thing.

Will do.

Kurt,
I am located in the southern part of Washington County. Little town called Fredericksburg. I am a across the board music lover. Well, except hip hop/rap. That stuff isn't music anyway, just noise.
Mark

You are showing your age. That's what my old man said about Rock & Roll. But I have to agree with you, the music I grew up on in the late 50's & 60's was happy and upbeat music. What little Hip-hop & Rap I have heard is mostly depressing & negitive. Guess that makes me old too.

The Turkey Run campsites #220 thru #228 are wooded and close to the modern facilities. #231 to #235 are in the open. I don't remember what the areas around the rest of the campgrounds looked like.

I have not used the reservation system on the internet for Indiana State Parks. Will they allow us to select an area or site? I'm ready to make a reservation as soon as plans are firmed up.

This is going to be a long tax season looking foward to my shakedown cruise.

Jim

[josephhanson]

Turkey Run will allow site specific reservations. As soon as the area is decided, I too will make my reservation.

I spoke with Turkey Run park today and the sites around the "West Loop" #229 to #219 is a shaded area.
Rob thought that is is nice area also. It is also very popular accouding to the park rep. I talked to.

This is a good choice, so we will need to reserve sites right away since they will start filling fast (especially the "Sugar Ridge area" West Loop.)

"Sugar Ridge area"

Reservation # 866-622-6746

I have reserved site #220

If sites in the loop are taken get the closest one you can to #229

Call me at 765-661-2779 or send a PM with any questions.

[Jst83]

That is Fri and Sat may 18th and 19th?

[Tripmaker]

We're in. Cindi & I will be in site 227. We should start a roll call of who will be in which sites as we get reservations.

Only 130 days to go.
