Sulphur Creek Campout! Aug 21st - 22nd.

Postby Sarah Ranes » Wed Jul 08, 2009 2:24 pm

The Campout has been scheduled for August 21st and 22nd. Please put it on your calanders! The fun starts Friday and doesn't finish, until Sunday, when the wind stops blowing. All water lovers are invited! Newb kiters be advised that it's been called "Not a good place for Newbs" Kayaks and SUP's would be great options.

IF you have equipment, for when the wind does not blow, bring that too. In the past, we have played some serious Bacci Ball, Volleyball, horseshoes, running off the dock, across as many windsurf boards as you can.....and so on.

Crawdad Catchers Get Ready! If you have the catching devices, bring um! We did some damage last year to the crawdad population, I hope they have recovered.

Evenings include campfires by the Pavilion, where Linda the Schmore whore, uses her power marshmallow roaster, for the best schmores in town.

INFO FOR FIRST TIMERS:
We have the the whole parking lot and pavilion to use for the weekend.
There are restrooms in the parking lot, but no running water.
Bring your own water for drinking, cooking etc. Lake water is optional for bathing (just add a little soap to your wetsuit) and water fights.
There are areas for tents, or bring your condo on wheels like we do for extreme comfort.
There are some electrical outlets, but only by the Pavilion.
DO NOT CAMP CLOSE BY THE PAVILION, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO SLEEP EARLY! The campfire and party can go on well past midnight, and can be a bit noisey. So park far away from the Pavillion, if you like QUIET and SLEEP!
No stores or restaurants close by, Evanston is 10 miles in.

Please ask any other questions, that you have. HOPE TO SEE U THERE!

The crawdad population is in good shape. Mon when I was on my 5.9 up there, there were some kids cathing some huge ones, and lots of them off of the dock. Looking forward to the campout. See you up there. Tom. W.

Patrick....Dare I ask what Big Bertha is? There is electricity all around the pavillion, last year we even tried showing some videos, on the inside wall of the pavillion. So it might be fun?

Sarah, I believe it is a guitar. Looks like we might get some guitar music by the fire after a day of windsurfing. :))

Great time! Even though there was no wind when I was there, the food was amazing! Glad to be able to put a face to a lot of names too. :)))

If you didn't make it, this is what you missed:
