SEND YOUR HEAD COUNT FOR BEEF STEW DINNER to Connie at BAMABMW@aol.com

There are 6 tent sites - 2 people per site (which can mean 2 small tents and they need to be small as these tent sites are each enclosed and wont hold large tents)

$30.00 per site so get a buddy and reserve a site together for $15.00 per tent (does have power)

These tent sites must be rented out before they will rent out the grassy area spots. Grassy area only one power plug for all.

Grassy area spots will be $22.00 per tent - 1 person (power available one place along fence and two in pavilion).

They have 6 cabins - 1 cabin is a 2 room which they will allow 6 people $51.00 per nite.

5 cabins have one room which they will allow 4 people (a set of bunks and a queen bed in each) $44.00 per nite.

They do of course have RV sites if you are bringing a trailer of some type. The trailers will not fit in a tent site. RV sites are $37.00 unless you want 30 or 50 amp

We have the use of a very nice pavilion, an outdoor camp kitchen which is like pavilion with 2 burners and a sink, but we have also reserved the Club House which is an indoor room that should hold us for dinner or morning meeting should the weather be bad. This is not a state park so it's not quite as cheap but it's very nice and pretty and the folks are real sweet. And hey, its only one month.

Campfires only at the tent sites and not in the grassy area so we may get one site just for a fire. Anyone in the area want to take a bit of wood out there? If someone takes wood don't take more than we can use because we have to take it back out with us. Otherwise we will have the indoor Club house to keep warm in.

Dinner will be my homemade Beef Stew, and Darlene's cornbread, and whatever else we can scare up for you. Price will be determined later, but it will be reasonable as usual.

We will be camping at the Lake Pines Campground on the NE side of Columbus, GA. Their webpage is at www.lakepines.net. Camping fees will be $10.00 per person. You can either pay in advance directly to them, or pay them upon your arrival.

I am going to need a headcount for burgers and dogs on Friday evening. Let me know your preference, for how many of either, as well as preference for chips, and preference for drinks. We also plan to get breakfast breads and fruits for both Saturday and Sunday mornings. The costs will be split accordingly, but are expected to be about $5.00 per person per meal.

Other anticipated costs will be the $5.00 entry into the National Civil War Naval Museum, and then your lunch and dinner on Saturday.

I work best from straight email at AbnCavScout@Yahoo.com, If you cant email me direct, then try my home at 334-541-5949, and only if you still don’t reach me, then try my cell at 334-580-0476. (I don't get onto our forums often, but will try to as we get closer to our July meeting.)

The odds are in favor of warm weather so we're planning on visiting three different ABEES points and enjoying their air-conditioning during the warmer part if the day. On Saturday we will have a group ride down into Columbus and stop at the National Civil War Naval Museum. It is an ABEES point and well worth the time to go through there. The normal entry fee is $6.50, but for groups of twenty or more, they will drop the fee for us down to 5.00 each. We plan to allot about 90 minutes for everyone to get through. From there we ride 2 (+/-) miles to the National Infantry Museum, also an ABEES point, and this one is FREE to visit! We can get lunch there at their Restaurant, similar to a Ruby Tuesday. After lunch, we will spend a couple hours touring the Museum which is a world class homage to our American fighting men. When we're done, we will leave to get dinner at "The Cannon" in old downtown Columbus. Their menu varies from burgers, to pizza, to pasta, to steak, - but they are known for their wood fired pizza's and beers brewed on site. There is lots of nightlife in the area if any club members want to linger and dance the night away. It is a short about 15 min. ride back to Camp. There are lots of other local attractions for members to explore on their own should they choose to do so. I have also lined up a nearby Hotel to knock a couple dollars off of the rate for club members who prefer not tent it at the campground.

For more information, email Rodger at AbnCavScout@Yahoo.com, or call 334-541-5949.

Rooms are available here in the house but all have been reserved already. There are a few air mattresses for floor sleeping at both houses. There are Motels 3 miles down the road. The closest motel is a Holiday Inn Express phone # 334-347-2211. If you would like to stay on Post you can call the Ft. Rucker Guest housing at 334-598-1242 or on the web at www.ft-ruckerarmylodging.com.

Please try to bring something reflective to wear to ease getting on post or you may not be admitted. Also have your drivers license and proof of insurance.

Now you ask, how much is this going to cost me--$20.00 and we need to know if you plan to attend NLT Tuesday 24 August so we can get the food .

More directions and Info to follow as we get closer to the meeting date.

See you at the Party
