It's that time of year again, magic time ---- no, not Thanksgiving, not Christmas ----- It's the
SouthEast Expedition Society's Country Fried Weekend time.
Due to the fantastic time we had the past two years, it will be held again at
Wildcat Campground in Suches, GA; the long weekend is
January 16-18, 2015. It's a great campground that offers a little of everything ---- shaded tree-filled spots on a hill, two secluded tent-only locations, gimungo RV pads with full power, wifi, big/clean bath-house, covered pavilion with lots of tables & chairs, a huge grill, huge firepit with seating, a small lake, a 4x4 trail, access to backcountry dirt roads, a "bunk-house" cabin (available to rent).
CFW is a potluck and dinner on Friday and Saturday & is traditionally an all-afternoon/all-evening affair.
Here is the sign up list for both nights.
CFW is a mellow event, family-friendly, moderate alcohol consumption, and no electronic music (if you play or sing, please feel free).
The fire will be epic again.
It doesn't cost anything to attend; the event itself is free.
The campground is private however and that isn't free ----- Wildcat will be ours for the weekend, closed to the non-SEES community.
It got a bit confusing last year so, with the help of Donald Oaks, the proprietor, we simplified the camping fees. $15/night for a regular campsite and $30/night for one with power; $5/truck for day-trippers (potty fee). We thought this would work pretty well --- if the fee sounds high for a solo adventurer, hook up with somebody and share a tent. Try to keep it in reason though. Like two tents or two vehicles per site.
To keep the price down there will be no hookups for the RV blackwater pipes ----- but the bath-house will be open and working.
