****UPDATE****
Here is a link to the Rally Point event, please RSVP on there and on the Facebook event (if you're on FB) and also, the kml map file of the route for Saturday Aug 12th is in the Rally Point event and is downloadable. (The kml file has the route planned but doesn't have them in order, working on fixing that)

Coordinates to the check in office (according to Google, so take it with a grain of salt)

OK, so the venue has been set for Brown County State Park in southern Indiana. Dates are August 11, 12th and 13th. Staying 2 nights. Since this is a state park it is more developed camping than I like, but hey...there is bathrooms on the premises haha. Camping is $10 per night at the gate. They also charge an entrance fee of $7 for in state or $9 for out of state residents.. I already took pre-payment from 5 people since that was the minimum to make the reservations. If you want to prepay, message me..otherwise you will pay at the gate.

We will have some short hikes planned, some backroad exploring and just some good ole campfire-sitting-marshmallow-cookin'-fun. Questions? Just ask. I will include a link to the Brown County State Park website so you can see what there is. I will update this post as plans for routes are finalized. I am super excited to host this event and we hope for a big turnout.

We plan on doing the Covered Bridge Loop, or part of it anyways. Most all the roads are completely do-able in 2wd vehicles. I'll attach some pictures of last time in the area, keep in mind this is after a heavy rain so it likely won't be this bad- still may have some light water crossings.
Here is one photo, i'll add more soon.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and let you know as we get a bit closer. Wife isn't on board with camping yet, so may end up just coming up for a day trip.

I would like to do this, but my current work schedule has me working two of the three days. That may change in the future, so I will have to wait and see.

This is more of a developed campgrounds, there may even be air conditioned cabins near by.

So I am going to be out. Wish I could make it but life is happening!

A buddy of mine and I are planning on getting out there later in August. Would you be able to let me know how it goes? See if I can follow the route you end up taking!

My schedule opens up a lot in November, and would love to do a winter trip or two.

Well, I think I will make the 7 hour drive (Each way) to do this... I need to meet some folks. I just kinda worry nobody else from this side of the region will make it.
