Camping trip?

[LibertyOrDeath]

Already have plans for July 4th.

[Jem45472]

Ok. I was just looking at the calendar. How about July or August? The 4th of July is on a Saturday this year, not sure if that interests anyone. Or we can do it after that... any weekend during those two months is good for us... just trying to avoid the crazy school schedules in June and September... any suggestions?

Hmmm, I think I have a couple weeks vacation at the end of August.

I like late July/early August.....after the crazy Peshilta on the 4th but before the "back to school" Peshilta starts.

USMC do you still have plans for the camping trip down my way this summer and where it might be? just trying to get a idea where it be held to see how far I would have to drive..

If you want to plan a weekend that's not July 26-aug 3rd I should be around otherwise. I'll be on vacation that week in NC. If you plan to have the camping trip at chickens and my range im sure we could bring the boats down etc.

I thought NirvanaFan was going to invite everyone here to this, but: (Xpost from NYF)

Ok gents we have some decisions to make if we decide to camp here.

First of all let me go ahead and get you all the actual address now that we have been given the ok to do this:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/39...acb5a79c1e4fd0

Ok so we have 2 choices here that were presented to me and I'll explain the benefits and downfalls of both. Both choices are good to go for shooting all you want without being bothered though.

The first is this area:


This first area has the pond right next to it and a nice open area to shoot (clays or general long range is ok, there is a berm). It's would be camper friendly (just go slow on the way back, but it would be ok). This location is a lot easier to get to as well (I explain that in the 2nd option).

The downfall (and it is a downfall) is that this location is close enough to the farm that we have a high risk of an early awake due to farm noise, the field is like right there so depending on what we end up doing it could be harvest time or what have you. They are spreading poo now so that shouldn't be an issue down the road.


Ok and now the 2nd option:

You get to this location from Chase road if you are looking at google maps:


This option is MUCH less accessible. Apparently dill rd is a private road that is not owned by my family and is NOT a public highway. I'm pretty certain I can get permission to park people on it but I'm not certain because if they need it to get to the fields out back that's an issue.

Even if we can park down back in those wooded area you see, there is no drive in access to where we have to camp. As you can see we have to walk into the woods and onto the property owned by my family.

The appeal of this site though, is we are pretty far away from anything that would bug us. Chase road is not heavily used at all and it's pretty nice looking down at this location. I'll post up some actual pictures of what it looks like back on Dill road. I didn't get up to the other location, maybe I'll take another trip tomorrow because I'm a little curious as to how it looks right now. The other location is where I usually shoot.

This is what Dill Road looks like, it's just a gravel road.

Awesome, a Central NY location? I could do that! Details?

Apparently still being worked out, but it's looking like early August the first or second weekend.

Labrador and Newfoundland July of 2016 by Motorcycle 15-17 days, will involve fishing and a zip line or two. Must have a bike that will handle dirt roads, carry your own gear and spare fuel cell or a gas can that will stay attached, I just set up a Vstrom for the trip. I have done the Newfoundland trip before on a HD Ultra Classic but this trip will be different, a mix of dirt and gravel, all camping and remote country (Labrador). Head up the Northway to Quebec, then NW up to Labrador City, then up to the 52nd parallel to the east coast, ferry to Newfoundland, and cover as many small towns, coast line and finally the old Newfoundland railroad bed. This will be a adventure trip, limited gas, stores and sleeping accommodations and best of all no cell service for several days, although you can get an emergency only GPS phone from the government while traveling the Translab highway.
If anyone is interested please research the Trans Labrador Highway before committing, also you would require finding your own lodging for 4 or 5 nights on the east side of Newfoundland as I'll be staying with my wife's relatives for a little bit. Last time a couple guys that rode with me stayed in St Johns and still didn't have enough time to see everything they planned on before catching the ferry back to Nova Scotia.

I am a little confused I thought this camping trip was up in the Adirondack area?

Ok. Let's get this ironed out since the reservations are starting to come in at the club down here... are we still gonna plan on this? Let me know if you all are interested in a weekend at our playground...

I'm in for hanging at the Chicken Coop (and my Summer schedule is filling up FAST!)
