The Plank Road Campout is a Month Away!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #347 of 407 |
Hey Folks,
 
We’re only a month away from the Plank Road Campout.
 
Join us for a great weekend.
 
 
The Plank Road Folk Music Society will hold it’s 2009 Campout at beautiful Shabonna Lake State Recreation area on Friday August 14th to Sunday August 16th..
http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/LANDMGT/PARKS/R1/SHABBONA.HTM
 
This is a nice park about 50 miles west of Downers Grove.
 
All campsites have electricity; a shower building with flush toilets and the park does take reservations.
Campsites are $25/ night with a $5 reservation fee.
 
Questions
  1. How do I make a reservation?
  2. The reservable sites are located in an area of the campground called Merganser Circle. There is an interactive map at this web site that will show you photos of most of the campsites if you click on a number.
    http://www.shabbonalake.com/camping/map.html
    The Reynolds’ and Clark’s have reserved sites 89 and 90. Please try to reserve a site next to or close
    to these campsites. (Avoid number 73, we saw some standing water there).
    After you’ve picked your site call the park at 815-824-2106 or 815-824-2565 to check for availability
    and to reserve. They do take credit cards.
    We recommend that you reserve ASAP.
     
  3. When does it start?
  4. People usually arrive early Friday evening. We set up our tents, ,make dinner if we haven’t had one.
    We have a get acquainted campfire with the obligatory songcircle around the fire.
  5. What is the legendary Saturday morning pancake breakfast?
  6. We have a community breakfast combining our stoves and skills creating a wonderful variety of pancakes and breakfast foods. Bring your specialty and share with the group.

  7. What do I do during the day Saturday?
  8. Relax, enjoy the park, hike, fish and play some tunes. Walk off breakfast.

  9. Saturday night?
  10. Dinner on your own.
    Big campfire, big songfest, smores, snacks and sticky guitar strings.
  11. Sunday morning?
Sleep late (if you want). Breakfast on your own. Break camp. Hit the road.
 
If you do make reservations please let me know at
plankroad@...
I would like to keep in contact with those who are attending.
Please contact me with any questions, comments or suggestions.
