By the way ,John, since this thread will be here awhile...see if Todd can change the lower case "iv" in the title to caps..."IV"in so that it will be the actual Roman numeral you were shooting for....please, it bugs me!

That part of the river is mostly used for a put in location. It can be busy but usually only till about noon as that is the last drop off time for the outfitters. The afternoons should be quiet. Its also not used as much at the start of summer as the water is spring fed and unusually cold.
Hell yeah it's cold. Nut numbing cold.
I just want to live in it full time.

You need to try it a few miles down the river. Welch spring dumps into it doubling the size of the river and dropping the temp by about 20 degrees.

If your gonna base out of there I would highly suggest taking one day to float that river. You can rent boats just up the road from F/N and they will bring you back. You can also just do tubes and float coolers in one with you for those without skills

You plan to join our merry group this year?
This isnt a bad idea. However two things come to mind. One is hygiene. Going a full week and then some without a shower is a bit much. I know John enjoys it though. Last I knew, FN was suppose to be building a pavillion. Any hear if they were going to build a place for showers too? Standing naked in the river with a bar of soap and the crawdads offering to wash my back for me doesnt sound to appealling.
Second, did flatnasy offer a discount on wheeling and camping for more than one day last year? I cant remember if they gave us a discount for wheeling/camping for more than one day the first year. I think they did but cant remember.
Also would the name of the trip change since you wouldnt be packing you s*** anymore on the trip figuratively speaking?
Flat nasty is not going to build showers. The well at Ron's house cost something like $10,000 to drill. They don't even have running water at the office. He did talk about putting in a well or running water from the neighbor to the office and putting in trailer hookups up there.
You could always rent the cabin for a night.
We probably would be paying for wheeling at both places that day unless Ron gave us a day's discount for going someplace else for the day.

If the plan is to set up base camp, I would think he might be willing to offer a "weekly rate" that would include wheeling and camping.
Not the cabin would be needed for an entire day, I wonder if ron also has 4 hour rates for the cabin?? Squeeze in big toe and shower....
I know Jeremy & Bill both have camp showers...works fine for me the last 3 years
I plan to buy one also for this next year
Even "bottled water bathing" is plenty fine with me
Even without the discount rates, you can't beat the cheap ass vacation
I spent less than $400.00 total on each trip the last 2 years

I hoping to have a camp shower on the new and improved Spot this year although I didn't feel the need to cleanse nearly as bad with daily trips to the river last year.

I was just inquiring about showers. I know Bill and Vicki had one but didnt realize Jeremy did too for the last trip and todd is also planning to get one for this trip. I know at Washita there is a place to shower as well and although the owner of SMORR was a douche, that park had the best facility for an offroad park that most of us have been too. Just because you enjoy the white trash/ghetto superstar/hippie lifestyle doesnt mean everybody else has to while on vacation.
HTFU! its only soap
I like valet wheeling.
The camp shower was a whopping $7! I think that heavy hitter JoeZ bought one too
I would also enjoy some valet wheeling

I might even add a camp shower to the christmas list, and a battery powered fan. When it comes right down to it the naked in the river idea my be more hygenic then the shower at Washita. Hell we could bring a blow up kiddie pool and take bathes if you don't like the camp showers.
I think the fact that this trip is more of a roughing it kind of week makes it more relaxing and keeps the group smaller.
