I’d put in a vacation request, but as of right now I’m not sure who I’ll be working for when the time comes…

So it’s on my calendar and that will have to be good enough for now.

Need to put in Vaca time... talked to the wife and told her that the trailride/ TRS get together was at Land Between the Lakes and she said that she used to go there almost every summer as a kid, and Ken Lake is a great spot... And now she is talking about coming down there and getting a cabin lol..


Ken Lake is only about 5 minutes away from LBL. Might be an option.

Ken lake only has 2 tent sites. Didnt6look like a great choice for our group. I could still go visit it when I go out there in a few weeks to see things in person.

I checked almost 40 campgrounds online the other day. Some don't have websites.some don't have tent sites. Some stuff is already booked up for those dates. Some have real snooty, tight rules. The most promising I have found so far is the KOA on the east side. Pfizer Point KOA. Appears to have a large primitive camping area that would suit how we normally do things. Communal fire ring, pavilion with picnic tables.

The national forest campgrounds and state campgrounds get booked up and will be difficult for us to gather as a group, with the exception of the one Forset Service campground actually listed for group camping. But that one is extremely primitive. Just a couple porta-jons, picnic tables and a trash dumpster. No running water. No bath house. And it sounds like high clearance vehicles are required for the entrance road, which has at least one water crossing. Not conducive to encouraging the 2wd folks to join us. They actually state that during heavy rains, you should get out quick or plan on staying until the water level goes back down.

I'm going to check out a few more privately owned campgrounds and then make trip up there in a few weeks to lay eyes on the most promising places. Then make a recommendation to y'all.

I was hoping to be out there right now checking things out. But Covid set me back about 2?weeks back in February.

Are there any trails for my stock (it's not) FJ to embarrass Rangers on or do I just drag in the RV? Looks like lots of hikes and thing my wife would enjoy, so maybe she will come with me for a change. I like this plan.

Is there truck stuff here? I don't care if there isn't. Just figuring out how I can sell it to my wife.

For a stockish FJ? I would assume they have paved roads there you should be OK on...

There is a offroad vehicle section. Lots of wildlife and history too. Lots of angles to work.

You and the wife could explore if she wants and then camp with us in the evening.
