ReoRon's Kansas Campout - Crawford St Park OCT 3-4-5

[oklahomajewel]

Okay... I'm gonna start a thread......

Talked to Reo-Ron last night and he's checking into the deposit for Crawford S.P. and availability for October 3-5, 2008.

Who wants to go? Well, I know everyone WANTS to ....


Crawford S.P. is about 20 miles south of Fort Scott, KS and Ron's going to a small car show there, and mentioned there are other historic sites in Ft Scott as well. I'm sure you Kansans and Missourians can tell us about it.


Anybody???

Ps.... Crawford S.P. is about 2 hrs south of KC and about 1.5 hrs north of Miami, OK.

$20 for both nights? I guess I was thinking it was for each. Heck yeah we are all going. Thanks Ron!!!

btw isn't Jeff and Anna on vacation. We might want to save them a spot near the fire. Anyone got their phone number?

[Darren]

I left Jeff a voice message, guessing he's out of cell phone range.

[reo-ron]

Once I get the paperwork( it's being mailed snail mail) and such finished I'll have more details about doubling up, cost , etc..

I will see what I can do maybe swap some time to get Satruday.
I do not think I can get Friday and Saturday and Sunday all at one time. Strange new shift weeks! I'm sure they are permenent except the one that thought them up does not ever have to work them. He even said he was envious. I ask him if he wanted to swap his hours for the ones he just though for us. NO ANSWER did he utter.

FIVE YEARS and COUNTING !

Count me in.

I camped there this last week and it's a nice little park out in the sticks. The Group Site is terrific. Hardpads, electric, private showerhouse (New) huge firepit in the center, and a group shelter with a big fireplace. Look forward o seeing you all there and then on to LCG.

OK ... got schedule changed ... will be there Friday night. Gary and I and Mark and Em ... also trying to get some others here in KC area interested! Trudy

PS Plan on breakfast for everyone at the Marmoy's on Saturday morning ... DO mountain man casserole and cinnamon rolls.

[Miriam C.]

Sounds like we will need a lot of firewood. If we get lots of people we can party in Oak Point. It is BIG. And all of the electric sites are in the center. They have wonderful playgrounds too so bring the kidlets.

[Bill P]

Ron, if we get more than 10 confirmed attendees there are 4 additional utility sites the Park staff mentioned that are nearby in another camping area. If push comes to shove, and they won't let us double up, the last confirmed can always stay at one of the two other campgrounds.

It easy to get to the park. Google map or use your own software, and look for Girard Kansas. It's about 5 miles south of Crawford State Park. The park is just off off K7. If you're coming South from KC, take US69 South. K7 runs with 69 through Ft Scott, just make sure to stay on K7 going South when they diverge a few miles south of the city. Likewise, if you're coming up from the South, take US 69 North and turn West toward Girad about 7 miles North of Pittsburgh and then go North on K7.

See you all there.
