Anybody want to come out? Might be your last chance before gas prices sky rocket!!

 

[Maglight]

Gulches was closed this weekend due to too much rain. This is what the next 10 days is supposed to look like.

How muddy do this place get?

 

[dbenke]

It can get really muddy, just like Durhamtown. The good news is there are enough hill climbs and other trails, you can avoid most of them. (MOST)
You'll like it. we'll just avoid the mud pits.
We'll save those Jeremy!!

 

[BELMONT148]

No mud pits for me. That crap is brutal. My truck doesn't sit as high as you would think. Probably about as high now as your CJ with 35's. It settled ALOT.

David,

I think I may have to come in Saturday morning early. I will probably need all of this week to get the 40 running again and I won't have enough time to pack and get there before dark Friday. I have a lot of wood to build a huge fire Saturday night, along with a double burner cooker already packed up in the truck. I will go shopping and bring the food if you give me a list of stuff you think we should cook. Otherwise I'll just grab some beef and some cans and seasonings and make a pot of chili with some Rotel dip and chips. Hopefully the camp site isn't flooded.

I hope someone is gonna be there fri nite late to let me in. I should be leaving conway about 5:30 or 6... I hope it's not too wet...

 

[Maglight]

I will be there friday.

 

[BELMONT148]

Scott, you can always crash at my place on your way up if you change your mind about going in after dark. That is if I am not there already of course.

Jeremy

 

[greenseaman]

I appreciate the offer. I may take you up on it. I guess it depends on if I can leave a little early from work friday and if anybody goes with me. Thanks!

 

[Maglight]

Where are we camping? I haven't been to gulches. Is there a front desk? Do I have to tell them I am with the Low Country Cruisers group?

 

[BELMONT148]

Campsite #2 and #3. You need to talk to Skip if you are the first person there. He has an office at the entrance. You will need to sign waiver forms and pay the registration fee if it is your first time. Along with the $50 for the W/E. It will probably be under my name, Jeremy Holt, or Upstate Cruisers.

Gas sucks! It jumped .10 overnight here. If it isn't 3.42-3.45 this morning in Charleston, it will be by the afternoon.

Hint, if you go to Publix and buy $25 worth of groceries and buy a $50 gas card, there is a coupon on the back of the sales ad for $10 off. That's 20% off gas. I plan to get about 4 before the sale is up next wed.

[Maglight]

Anyone care if I bring my kid?

 

[greenseaman]

Sounds good to me! As long as you let me in Fri. nite

 

[dbenke]

Bring him...I'm sure someone else will bring theirs, also

 

[BELMONT148]

Camping is out for tomorrow. A day trip for Sat. is possible if the water drops by tomorrow evening. Look at this thread to see if it does. We can plan accordingly then. I will still be up for a day trip if anyone else is, or we can reschedule it.

Oh well, I guess it's too far for a day trip. My wife's birthday is monday, so if we celebrate this weekend maybe next weekend will be good?... If we celebrate next weekend it's out for that weekend. That sucks! I guess I'll be checking on here to see what happens.
