Ok ya'll.

I didn't do this last year, because I felt a "lack of interest" of sorts. I guess two years in a row, the coolness factor kinda wore off.

So I'm bringing it back this year. The Dixie Chapter Cookout. w00t

I'm thinking about doing it at the same place again, or somewhere around Allatoona lake. And probably September 22nd, or the 29th - the last two Saturdays in September.

Who's interested? There will be a sign up sheet for folks to bring different things, and there's horseshoes, a volleyball net, and playground for the kiddies. Fun for the whole family. This is purely a cookout, get together type deal. There will be no wheelin' involved.


EDIT - Ok, just to bring anybody up to date so you don't have to read all 4 pages.

It's at Cooper Branch #1 near the Allatoona Dam in Cartersville, GA on September 22nd. Probably eat around 2 or so. Some folks are planning on camping. Keep an eye out for an "official" thread with directions, details and sign up for food.

Im there.
I also like the Alatoona idea.

Do they have a pavilion somwhere near, or at a campsite?
Out of towners could spend the night.

I might even be able to work out a deal where I could even stay the night :toothless

I have both weekends off work so far unless something changes.

Wait, I am out one of those weekends. I'll let you know wich one it is.

id like to go to theses things, but theyre too far west for me, atleast for an evening..

and i know im not even close to being the farthest away.

and i know im not even close to being the farthest away.
Your location says near Savannah. Ogeechee is down that way and he drives up here. Maybe ya'll could ride together. :shrug



Jerm - I know they have about 10-12 pavilions around the park, I'll check the map and availabilities of the various ones before I make a decision.

ill plan on it .

Sounds like fun,but not sure about the weekend of the 30th.

Do it in florida mainly on the panhandle like on the beach

Matt Ogeechee is right in Statesboro. I may come to this thing given nothing comes up.

Jerm - I know they have about 10-12 pavilions around the park, I'll check the map and availabilities of the various ones before I make a decision.That would be cool.

I might be able to work in a whole combo "camping with the neices to make Sissy happy/FSB M&G" kinda thing.

That is if anyone else was up for it.

That would be cool.

i could camp out.

i could camp also....might make dale/tammie happier :thumbup

I will def look into doing this...i need to show up to a Dixie meet lol

i could camp out.

:stupid

I'm in for the 29th

The 22nd would be a no b/c the Dawgs are playing Bama.......Ken bring yo ass to Atlanta and limp home in shame when the Dawgs put it on Saban......again!!!!

Oh in my schit talkin, I forgot to say that I'd love to camp as well.....as long as nobody minds my dog Tank coming with me (he was at the last one, and played frisbee and went down the park slides all damn day with the kids....babysitter)

Would love to go..especially camping but me and the misses will be in St. Augustine, FL from Sept 22-30. Sounds like fun though

Sounds like fun, keep me posted.:rockon

I'm down for camping. God willing if things go right I might even be in the Bronco, probably not SAS'd though.

22nd or 29th are good for me.

The weekend of the 15th would be out for me.

the weekend of the 29 is our first wedding anniversary so the 22nd would be better for me but either way

I'd be interested if it's the weekend of the 29 (23rd is the wifes birthday already have that planned) but how far is it from TN.

I'm in regardless. It's just a hop skip, and a jump to there so i'm in whenever.

The weekend of the 15th would be out for me.

Guess it's a good thing we didn't say anything about the 15th then huh?

:toothless

Spoke with the wife, said she'd be in for the campin' also as long as it's not too hot. Has anyone commited to one weekend yet, I believed either is good for me.:rockon

Dave and I are going to try and make this, but definately need a date to make sure we would be around.

Well I did a search on Mapquest. It's just over 4 hours.:chili::chili: So the wife says were in as long as it's the weekend of the 29th.;)

im gonna keep these dates open, i should be able to go, driving myself.... things have been panning out rather nicely lately, so by the time this comes i should be more than willing to go. im actually making progress on my truck lately, that is just crazy.....

I would like to shoot up there as well...If ya dont mind me asking what type of crowd will be there...just wondering if a 22 year old fireman/gearhead would fit in? and have somebody to drink beer with/ shoot the shit?

have somebody to drink beer with/ shoot the shit?Uhh........... what else would we bo doing?

May need to hide the beer in Dixie cups, no big deal.

Well, I have been here in Dahlonega for 3 freaking yrs and have been able to make one M&G. All I need is a exact date so that I can put in for leave or pass.

Mel, toss a coin and choose a date.
No matter wich one you choose we will loos some folks.

It's all up to you girly :thumbup

Mel, toss a coin and choose a date.
No matter wich one you choose we will loos some folks.

It's all up to you girly.
The pressure, aaaagh!!

Before I pick a date, I'm gonna try and ride up to Red Top this Sunday and scope out the camping/picnic areas. I know they have some cabins and a lodge if anyone wants to spend the night and not "rough" it.

Should have something definite by Monday or Tuesday. :thumbup

I think me and Kenny will be able to come to this one. Maybe even bring the kiddies.

Wow, those are old quotes in her sig :brownbag


Did you decide on a date yet??

:stupid

Any word yet?

:stupid:stupid:stupid:goodfinge

Ok, I rode up there Sunday and checked out some pick-a-nick shelters. Then I finally got thru with a phone call today and I didn't quite understand if it has to be reserved or is first come first serve.

What I may do is just go with the one we had in previous years at Cooper's furnace. If ya'll wanna camp or stay over night, there are cabins, the lodge and some campsites actually in the state park on the other side of the lake. :shrug

are the campsites first come first serve or do we need reservations.

flipped the coin yet?

HMMM camping....beer......hmmm......

HMMM camping....beer......hmmm......
It's a state park, I don't think they allow alcohol in the park.


It's probably gonna be September 22nd, I just found out I have something to do the 29th.



As far as camping goes, here is the Visitor Center phone number - 770-975-4226

You call him up to let him know if you think you're coming and he'll reserve a spot near us. You don't have to pay until you get there, and it just helps him keep us all together. You can just show up too, Danny is a really nice guy. Just calling ahead helps them manage our group

Wrong cookout thread, girlie. ;)

This is about our end of summer cookout thing here at home, not the Tellico trip. ;) The campsites at Red Top Mtn do have to be reserved, so call the Visitor's center.

Ok, I rode up there Sunday and checked out some pick-a-nick shelters. Then I finally got thru with a phone call today and I didn't quite understand if it has to be reserved or is first come first serve.From what I can find they need to be reserved just like the ones at Cooper's. :thumbup

I just wanted to be somewhere we could see the lake.
(I have a thing for large bodies of water)

Here is a website showing the parks, there amenities, and pics of each shelter.

I like this one :toothless

Here is a list of the variouse campsites with links to there individual pages.

I have stayed at this campground before, and if I camp it will be where I stay this time.

For those that want to stay the night but dont want to ruff it.

Red top mountain lodge.

Local hotels.
http://www.lakeallatoona.com/hotels.htm


Also the Pic-A-nic pavilians arent free. They range from $50-$150, everyone who comes should give Mel a few bucks to help pay for the Shelter. :thumbup

It's a state park, I don't think they allow alcohol in the park.First link shows the ones that do and don't. Even the ones that dont, just hide the beer and don't get roudy and nothing will be said.


It's probably gonna be September 22nd, I just found out I have something to do the 29th.Then the 22nd it is :thumbup

As always Mel, thanks for your time and work on these get togethers :thumbup:beer

Wow, aren't you just Mr Helpful. ;)

I really like that Pavillion, too, Jerm, the Cooper Branch #1, but I kinda wondered if people could find it. It's on the road that goes up to the dam, I think. I'll call and check on it when I get a chance.

And yes, thank you for mentioning the money issue. That's why I didn't push the cookout last year, because the first two years I heard, "Oh yeah, we'll pitch in to pay." And I think I got maybe $10 or $20 from a couple people.

That's why I didn't push the cookout last year, because the first two years I heard, "Oh yeah, we'll pitch in to pay." And I think I got maybe $10 or $20 from a couple people.

You need to pass the hat around Mels and ask folks to pitch in. I don't think anyone will mind... You can't do it all yourself...I usually pitch in. :thumbup

I just feel bad being like, "hey you fawkers, pony up some cash." I mean, hell, it's only $50. :shrug

We could get the mack daddy pavilion on the other side of the pavillion, but it's like $125. :toothless

I like the coopers branch #1 mainly because that huge grill and it doesnt look like you have a lot of stairs to get to the water. On the furnace side there are more bugs because its not right on the river its just standing water from when it overflows from generating the lake and yes there are lots of stairs. Either way we should be there and since i'm only about seven miles from there let me know if there is anything i can do beforehand to save a trip for anyone. Anybody got horseshoe's? I could make some signs and put them up the day before to help people find the way if needed

Id love to make it if I have the time off. Ill have to check.

Wow, aren't you just Mr Helpful. ;)

is there a record for the most links in one post?:rofl:

i could camp also....might make dale/tammie happier :thumbup

Awwww Jon you know you are always welcome!!! Were not called Hotel Schell for nothing!!!!! :histerica

:histerica that's very true...

Ok so if everybody just going for the cook out or is everyone camping too? B/c the cook out is a sat and if people are camping into sunday I may make it this time. I really wanna meet yall.

Can we get a post with the actual final details in it? I have been trying to keep up and am now somewhat confused. Can we get the final date, time, location and if there are cabins to rent for Dave and I to stay in. Just want to make sure I have all our ducks in a row so we can make this one.

Ok so if everybody just going for the cook out or is everyone camping too? B/c the cook out is a sat and if people are camping into sunday I may make it this time. I really wanna meet yall.Some will camp Saturday night, I might, dont know yet. But I think some will, some may stay at a hotel and some locals may go home.

Can we get a post with the actual final details in it?There not 100% finalised except for the date (Saturday, September 22nd) As soon as they are there will be a new thread started with final details :thumbup

I don't know of any "Cabins" persay, but I did post a Link to the Lodge and a couple local hotels. I know there are houses/cabins around lake Allatoona to rent, but those are handeled either by owner or through a rental company.

They have cottages/cabins just down the road from the Lodge, you can call them for prices and reservations. I think like Gack said, he posted a link with info to the Lodge for the phone number.

Like he said, the date is September 22nd and we usually eat around lunch time and hang out for the afternoon. As far as the location, it'll be somewhere around the Allatoona lake.

They have cottages/cabins just down the road from the Lodge.Thanks Mel, I stand corrected :thumbup

This place rents Cabins.

Mike, do ya'll think you might ride down and join us?



I called the Corps today to reserve the pic-a-nick shelter and first time was put on hold for so long I had to hang up, the second time got no answer. Looks like it will be Cooper's Branch #1, because they went up to $75 on Cooper's Furnace. :shrug

Is anyone else?

Is this where you'd want to camp considering the place we've reserved?

Ok, the pic-a-nick shelter Cooper's Branch #1 is ours for Saturday, September 22nd. I'll make an official post about it when I get home tonight. That's where we can start discussing who wants to bring what.

I found a link to the map of the lake.

We're at Cooper Branch #1 which is the little red circle "2" on the map. For those of you that came in years past we were at Coopers Furnace which is 42 for an idea of general vicinity.

http://allatoona.sam.usace.army.mil/Allatoona%20maps/Lakemap.htm


It also shows you the locations of various campgrounds and their facilities. I suggest you campers start a thread so ya'll can collaborate on who is staying where and maybe decide on one location to all stay together.

The McKaskey Creek campground will be closest to the picnic shelter at the red "4" on the map. You just go back down the main road the shelter is off of and take a right to the campground. I've stayed there yeeeears ago and remember it being pretty nice and right on the water.

Awsome, your the woman Mel!!!

I've known that for years..;)

I've known that for years..;)
So what have you been waiting on? ;)

Hey Shane, I promise these roads are a little more "drunk friendly." :toothless

:beer

Atleast I didn't say it this time....:thumbup

Hey Shane, I promise these roads are a little more "drunk friendly." :toothless

So it'll be easier for a drunk to find this time???:histerica

So it'll be easier for a drunk to find this time???:histerica
Yeah, you won't be driving around on the other side of the mountain looking for us. We're not actually in the "park" of Red Top. It's on that road that goes up to the dam if you've ever been up there.

I don't think I'll ever forget you getting out the truck and coming across the parking lot saying, "mels is never plannin this shit again because these are NOT drunk friendly roads!" :toothless

Ok, went and paid for it today. Scoped it out. Will post a couple pics later. The only problem I see is that parking is very limited. But the office is nearby with more parking, so we may have to park some folks up there and carpool to the picnic shelter or something.

Also, there's about 4-5 hotels right at the exit. Country Inn and Suites, Ramada, Hampton Inn, Days Inn and a Super 8 I think.

I'm in a hurry so I'll post up more later. Probably won't start an official thread with directions and details until the first of September.

But go ahead and put it on your calender, September 22nd, eat around 2 pm or so. Cooper Branch #1, Allatoona Dam, Cartersville, GA.

There will be no camping at McKaskey Creek the weekend of the cookout. Apparently the campground closes on September 4th.

If ya'll are coming from out of town, my suggestion is to get one of the hotels at GA 20. Simply for ease, because it's right at the interstate and closest to the picnic shelter. If you wanna camp somewhere else, go for it.

I got this information from Alan, he just called me and was riding around up there and found out the campground IN Red Top park is booked up, they said something about a big event or something that weekend. :shrug


Just trying to keep ya'll updated.

We're in :)

So what hotel are we all going to invade? :D

Which one looks the nicest Mel?

I don't think I'll ever forget you getting out the truck and coming across the parking lot saying, "mels is never plannin this shit again because these are NOT drunk friendly roads!" :toothless

Oh the Country Inn and Suites by far. After staying at that one in Knoxville, I'm gonna try to stay in one whenever I go out of town from now on. Plus they have an indoor pool. :toothless


Yeah, you know I was talking shit....when it comes to planning a shindig Mels got the mad skillz, yo!
Well, somebody's gotta do it! :toothless

If campings out of the question, crashing at a hotels not a bad idea either. I'm up for that if everyone wants to hang out after the cookout.:beer

Are Floridians allowed to attend? I can afford to bring lots of beer, if that helps (that's the only way I can make friends, usually). :beer

Are Floridians allowed to attend?Absolutly :thumbup

Never said ya'll couldn't camp. It's just that the other campgrounds and cottages/lodge are on the other side of the lake and about 5 miles back down the interstate. It's just that one campground was like 2 miles from the shelter, and the hotels are right at the exit, so they're the most convenient.

I have no problem with ya'll drinkin, but please keep it on the down low. I do remember seeing "no alcoholic beverages" on my little drive up that way.

Check Mckinney campground not sure about the spelling but I know its open year round, also check Allatoona landing it's year round too just in case hotels arent in some peoples budgets. If anyone wants i can get the # for alatoona landing its 2 min. from my house just post up some intrest. Mckinney is state owned and should be in one of GAK's links

We're in :)

So what hotel are we all going to invade? :D

Audra, once you guys figure out where you are going to stay, let me and Dave know and we will book a room at the same place. Can't wait to see all of you guys again.

x3 er x4 if I bring the boss

Damn, I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should have gone with Cooper's Furnace, there's a lot more room there.


But noooooo, somebody *cough*teh gacknar*cough* wanted on the water.

Yeah, I know...I'm just concerned about us feeling cramped or crowded because this area seemed more popular with people just hanging out. Whereas at the furnace it was more private and more room.

It's like there are 30 picnic tables all over this one area with the shelter right in the middle.

I just like teh water.

You can always concell it and reserve Coopers.:thumbup
I dont want it ruined just to be on the water. If you think we will have a better time at coopers, then lets go there. I don't want it ruined just becouse I like water :toothless

The only thing I worry about at Cooper's Branch #1 is parking. There we may have to park scattered out, I dont know I have never actualy been there. It is nice to be able to line the Broncos all up next to each other. Hopefully we can work somthing out so that we can, may just have to walk a little further is all.

Other then that I think it will be fine. Who cares if there are other folks at tables near us, they wont bother us any. (Atleast not me)

It will be funner for the kids...:thumbup
I dont know, it doesn't have a playground or a beach. I wasn't really thinking about kids when I sugested it.
http://allatoona.sam.usace.army.mil/Shelters/shelter_selection.htm
But they do allow alcohol and pets :toothless

Hopfully the kids will have a good time too.
Theres got to be somthing there that will keep them entertained.:chili:


we will just have to act like we own the place then and take it over. :histerica:stupid
I don't think we will have too many problems. :toothless

Well if i do happen to get to go. I'm a cop and i have a badge so i can just tell them they have to leave?

I understand having it on the water, but at the Furnace there is a playground for the kids and more room.

I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I'm really concerned about parking. I went over there on a Saturday, about the time we would be there and there were already 10-11 cars only leaving maybe 10-15 spaces left. Then more parking is at the top of the hill at the Office.


I may call them tomorrow and see if they'll let me switch to the Cooper's Furnace. I'd just feel better if I knew we were guaranteed room to spread out.

is cooper's furnace on the water?

Not really. It's by the river, and you can get down to the river, but like Chris said it's more of an area where the water isn't moving much. And it's not like you can get in it.


I may try to switch to Cooper's Branch #2. It's kinda on the water, but it is more private....and a little more parking.

no stagnant water, this time of year that would mean mosquitoes from hell.

It's really not that bad. The shelter isn't really ON the river...we've never had problems with skeeters there before. :shrug

I went back and looked at the list again and I'm gonna call tomorrow about two other shelters and see if they'll let me switch. If not, we'll just take our chances with the parking.

Hopfully not Sweetwater Day Use Area (http://allatoona.sam.usace.army.mil/Shelters/Sweetwater/sweetwater.htm) or Galt's Ferry (http://allatoona.sam.usace.army.mil/Shelters/Galts/GaltsFerry.htm), they dont allow Beer :toothless :beer

But if so, we can just keep it on the down low and hide it in Dixie cups :thumbup :toothless

Everything else is booked up, so we're gonna have to make do...and pray it won't be crowded that weekend.

I wasn't gonna start it until around the first of September. That way people will know more for sure if they're coming or not and won't be as likely to forget what they signed up to bring.
