Guys and gals.

Do you realize we are only about 4 weeks away from some fine eating, camping and fishing?

Chuck you need to start working on the convoy map.

Gehn should have the registration page up soon.

I'm looking forward to doing some fishing and shrimping. Got my shrimping license last week.

Make sure you go over to the LC section and check out the threads on the event.

I've done some preliminary lookin and it looks like this is gonna be a country road trip....looks like we'll meet up at exit 19 on 85....the head into anderson down to abbeville down to augusta.....then once thru agusta, then we'll head into allendale to yemassee(might have a stop of their to show you the house were the director of the Matrix trilogies lives, it is a house designed by Frank Loyd Wright) and then on down to Beaufort and Hunting Island!! Oh yeah and we'll get to drive thru the savannah river site...you never know who is watchin you as you drive thru there.
 
Beaufort grocery store tip...

If you are arriving on and traveling along hwy 21 and need some last minute supplies.. there will be four (4) grocery stores to chose from. Out of towners always get nervous and stop at the Ghetto Pig... bad choice. There is, in this order; Bi-Lo, Ghetto Pig, Publix, and Food Lion. The Food Lion is a little ghetto also.. so take heed. Food Lion and Publix are side by side. They are about 15 minutes from the camp site.
 
Our site is reserved thurs-sunday. anyone going to be getting there early?

chuck what cruiser do you have that can make it that far??? :flipoff2:

your route is my old stomping grounds and is going to take us like a full day maybe more depending on how many break downs you have, but I am looking forward to it :cheers:
 
I just checked the site and it looks like there are still some campsites near the water- 60-63 I think it was, close to showers and bathrooms for the ladies.
 
Remember there is the group camp area we will be having the event at. It's free camping there with your registration. If you need showers close by or power then I'd suggest making arrangements in another spot.

Registration is going to be $40 per person and includes a seafood dinner Friday and Sat night as well as camping in the group area.
 
looking forward to it.

Hope work doesn't interfear and if so will be day tripping down when I can. Looks like will be on the bike not my 60 havent't been able to turn a sander in three weeks. So bike it will be, I'll bring cash and pay the registration if I get there, may bring a sleeping bag and crash somewhere one night. Hope this works out nothing else lately has. :D:cheers::bang:
 
well hell, when you mentioned shrimpin, fishin, and cruisers I thought I had died and gone to heaven on a bun,,,almost sounded like you designed this trip just for me!!

it is the right weekend of October, the only one I dont already have plans for,
it is far enough off so I can make plans,
it is distance far enough so I feel like it is vacation,,
and if it is even half of what I have heard about the OTMT trip or the other UC trips I have been on, then a good time will be had by all

looking forward to coming, I am counting the days
 
So far this looks like I will be leaving here on Thursday night. Anyone else going in on thursday, or will I be solo?
 
marshall, do we need to make "reservations" with you for the group campground, is everyone making their own overnight plans? is there enough room at the group site?
 
The registration fee will inculde camping and a meal Friday and Sat night. Total number we can have is 60. I think we will be okay. Some people want the comfort of having their vehicle right there and having showers close by as well as power. I can understand. Heck Becca and Josie and I are staying in the condo's about a mile away. I figure I'll retire back to them when everybody starts crashing.

Camping in the group area is primitive other than bathrooms and running water. No electricity. Kind of like it that way. We will just setup a bunch of lanterns and have a big fire. Kind of make it old school down south beach style.


That reminds me I've got to replace some seals in the boat motor.
 
Registration page is up.

Upstate Cruisers

I've gone ahead and reserved the site for Thursday also to make it a little longer. Anyone coming in Thursday will be on their own as far as food. I'll be using this day to set the camp up.

I checked on some prices for fishing trips: inshore and offshore.

Inshore for 4 people runs about $600.00 to $650.00 some boats can add a 5th ($60.00 extra)

Offshore for 6 people runs $850 to $975 (the boats I checked only will take 6)

I didn't find anything like the Thunderstar here in Mount Pleasant that will hold 60 people.
It runs $90.00 per person for all day. About an hour and a half away. (leaves at 6:00 am)

Both the inshore and offshore will do 1/2 or 3/4 day trips for a little less.

I need to hear back from any one interested to make reservations.
Deposits are about 1/2 trip costs.
 
Are those prices all inclusive?

IE: includes fuel surcharge, and gratuities, equipment, cleaning and freezing of catch?
or should we budget another 50$ pp or so for that?

I dont have any saltwater fishing gear. when do we have to make the reservations by?

thanks for looking into it, got any "bites" yet, anyone else interested?
