Thread: Camping anyone?

  1. #1

    Default Camping anyone?

    I am just curious if anyone on this forum has ever done a drive/ camping trip somewhere kind of in a 2-3 hundred mile radius of the Metromess?
    I would love to do something like this , this Fall.
    Would anyone else be interested in doing such a thing?
    I could bring guitar and keys and me and my wife are bothe acomplished vocalists, so we could do the entertaining and we could hike and or drive some out of town twistys while on the adventure, anyway this is something I have been needing to do for two years to re-charge my batteries (ie get back to nature).
    We used to do this sort of thing at least 4 times a year but life has gotten more and more hectic and it's taken a toll on my sanity, so I need to get away.
    Just curious if anyone else might want to do something like this, maybe if so we can start putting something together now.

    We used to go camping all the time. I've decided my bed is much more comfortable than the ground. I've got a bunch of camping stuff for sale if anyone is interested.

    PM me a list of what you have Sammm I need some stuff for my setup, and would likely be interested in something you have that I dont.
    Jerry they do have Cabins in some places we could go like Turner Falls, Ok.
    A lot of nice hiking and twisty's in that area as well.

    Arrow camping

    i've never really gone camping, i considered it camping when i would go sleep over at my aunt's house in Mexico, lol... they had the whole fire thing going and the hunting for rabbits and those sorts of things...
    What kind of day do you have in mind? or how many days would the trip last?

    I am thinking one day and one night or two at the most.
    That would give enough time to do some hiking, sitting by the campfire chit chatting, playing some music, and of coarse driving some curvy out of town roads.
    My wife was a girlscout leader for years and knows some interesting ways of cooking food in the fire, I also can cook up some good grub.

    Well I was thinking sometime this Fall, I would like to go when its not too hot in the day and not freezing at night, that makes it kind of hard to plan out....but if I had to guess I would say sometime in mid October.

    Hey I like it!

    That's a great idea...lol

    If we go to Mineral Wells State Park we can do some Rock Climbing or Cannoing.
    They also have electric outlets at every camp site.

    Or as I mentioned there are some really kewl primative sites with awesome views and twistys in Turner Falls Ok.
    (my personal choice)

    I am thinking mid to late October.

    Dont wanna rain on anybody's parade, but a friend of mine went to Turner Falls last summer with his family, but him, and the entire family all got some kind of stomach virus from there.
