I'm in.
Just messing.
My cards aren't in row this year. Non finished FJ43 that is on the exact wrong coast, and I'm on the exact wrong side of the world.
Sounds like a great idea though. I love camping out but the house was pretty awesome especially with the crappy weather we had.

Alright Guys...If you really want to do this up north listen to me and you will have the best place up there. I have a friend who has a great place up towards carova. I don't know how many bedrooms but its enough. Its on a secluded 10 acres and it has two giant garages, a pool and pool house which has a bedroom plus another outbuilding which is like a mother in law suite. Its a great setup. You wont find a better place. Plus he is a toyota guy and likes to 4wheel and party. If I talk to him he will most likely rent it for dirt cheap that time of year. If you guys seriously want to do it up there let me know and I can make it happen.
I will be out of country till the end of april so the later date might be better for me.

So, since I committed us to the NCFJ cruisers/Leith Toyota truck show on April 27th, this moves the potential trip to the first weekend in May (1-5th +/- a few days).
Seems a lot of people are up in the air on if they're able to go, and have forgotten the appeal of this trip! You know how much work Heather and I have done in the past for this trip, and if only 3-4 families are going to go, than I'd like to skip the planning, graphic designs, and logisitics of this trip.
So, once again post up if you're planning on making this trip, if we continue... I don't want to hear maybes, just definite yea's..

It's hard to commit when there is no firm date or plan for camping/house. I appreciate all of the effort, but need something firm in order to plan and commit/decline.

Yeah, and the problem I'm having is knowing how many people I'm working with to see if going back to Frisco Woods is the best option, or trying to move it North to Swamprunner's contact's house.
The date is set, but most people had issues with a full week, so I'm giving people the out of just showing up for an extended weekend (as in the past). When we ended the last Big trip in 2010, most people wished STR was a full week, so I was pushing for that. Then, interest dropped off totally.. And you know Joe, we had 4 families last year.
That, and GSMTR continues to be pushed closer and closer to the end of April, so we're getting a lot of noncommitals due to the fact that GSMTR is a big pull regionally...
The other option is moving it to Portsmouth Island this year...

Well, we have a few options. One, I believe I'm taking a full week off and leaving after the truck show. But, there a few decisions.
Frisco Woods is a great camp site, but you're exposed to the elements. Last year we planned to stay there, but it was looking like a rough weekend due to wind, so we chose to go the house route. It was still cheaper than camping. Camping is like $40 a night soundside, and the houses in the area run around that for the weekend per room or so.
If we don't have a lot of people planning on going, a house might be the best bet. I'm still waiting on Swamprunner to get back with the specifics on his friend's house. So, those that are interested, let me know 1) house or camping, 2) North OBX (Corolla,Carova, Duck) or South OBX (Hatteras, Avon, Frisco).
You'll have to pay to drive on the southern beaches, but not the northern. North also has more lighthouses, Jockey's Ridge, and more attractions other than camping/fishing/driving. We haven't stayed in the northern area, just driven up for the day, then back to Frisco.
So, I need to know by the end of the week who's in, and what your specifics would be.
Example of one of the northern houses:

We of course would work the cost per night per room, so it would be more for us staying the week, then those showing up for the weekend or so...

Man, I'd love to hit up this run. Someday both Laura and I will be able to take the same week off.
