July 4th gathering at The Cove

kyle4501 · June 17, 2010, 05:26:43 AM

This is a reminder for the "July 4th gathering at The Cove".

http://www.palmettocove.com/

Nothing planned except shared meals - covered dish/ pot luck. No rally fee & no reservations required (campground is never full due to the requirement 'rigs must be fully self contained').
(edited to add- self contained means you have your own bathroom & cooking facilities)
Just a laid back weekend with friends in the mountains of South Carolina.

I will be there late Friday (7/2) & probably stay thru Monday.

I will try to bring my water bottle rocket launcher, so bring empty 2 liter soda bottles to make rockets with & we can have a little fun with that if desired.

Post here if you can make it & if there is something you'd like to do or see - let it be known here so there is time to work out some details.

Hope to see a bunch of y'all there!

I am always in the middle of a project when Palmetto Cove time comes around. If I can get my latest project buttoned up I would like to make the trip. Any idea on who all might show up?

A bunch of airstreamers are looking forward to seeing the bus nuts again, so they will be there, many in their 'bus like' motorhomes.

There are several who are working out the details of their schedule before they commit, but I'm sure it will be a fun crowd!

I have the back glass out and I am trying to get it skinned this weekend. I would love to get back up there.

Define 'fully self contained'. The site advertises '100 full hookup' sites.

Fully self contained basically means you have your own bathroom & cooking facilities.
The Cove is designed as a rally park and has no bath house. As a result, DHEC requires the campers to be self contained.

All sites have electric (minimum of 30A & some 50A), fresh water, & sewer.

It looks like we should be there also Kyle, as always we look forward to attending anything at this campground. The grand kids will love being in the water at the stream behind the pavilion.

NOTE, those attending with puppies etc. please pick up after they do their duties, this is so respectful to those wanting to walk around and use this beautiful facility, it is always kept so beautiful there and this is our way to help them also. My personal thanks on this.

Hope many of you can come, look forward to seeing some of the regulars that show up the past 3-4 years nearly.

But Gary, ours have 'special poop'!LOL We are amazed at the folks that don't pick up after them. Especally the great danes that leave something bigger than our entire dogs.
Ours have calmed somewhat, it is still a work in progress. We hope to make it there...would love to see you and yours.

Just talked to Dianne, we will be there Friday afternoon, leaving Sunday or Monday.
Looking forward to it!
Any 'Special requests'?

Unfortunately, we will not be able to make this one. Maybe we can make your October Non Rally. For anyone that has not been there, this is one of the most beautiful parks we have ever been to. Be sure to drive up to the top of Ceasar's Head (In Your Car!) and you can look down at the park from the top of the mountain. Jack
