Harrison Bay 2023

[Bishoparc]

Hi all. A couple of us are planning on doing Harrison Bay State Park in Chattanooga June 11-18, 2023. If anyone would like to join us, please feel free. Reservations are open now. We are doing the A loop. It’s one of the most scenic campgrounds I’ve ever stayed at. Only negative is they don’t have sewer hookups.

I made a reservation for me and DW in Loop A, Arc. We'll see what next summer looks like closer to time.

However, we are going to arrive a few days earlier and leave a few days sooner since the 18th is Father's Day and we want to be home before that.

I need to budget at least two days for train rides (or maybe 3 if DW doesn't kill me first. )

PS - www.tvrail.com is the webbie for the nearby Tennessee Valley Railroad that runs short steam engine rides. It's pretty neat in that it runs through a tunnel under Missionary Ridge and uses a turn table to spin the engine around so it can pull front-wards for the return of the out-and-back trip. Looking at the schedule for Summer 2022, they only are running steam on weekends; pre-covid every summer day Memorial-Labor Days had steam. Who knows what Summer 2023 will be like? But I love riding behind steam and will try to find a way to make it happen.

Awesome news! Hopefully we can do a group ride on the train!!

Arc,

This sounds like a great get together. I'll be in Europe from June 2nd until around June 18th. We aren't postponing this time!

If anyone else is interested, I have another site I had booked for someone who isn't going to be able to make it. It's on the water. If you're interested, let me know and I won't cancel it.

 

[jbrostek]

Just before school ends for us. Melissa wont be free till June 16th....

We are booked in loop A, sorry can’t remember site but maybe A20, from june 14 to 18. My work is pretty crazy next year so not sure how certain it is but going with it since only 3 days and crap it’s close for us.

Sadly, I've had to cancel out of Harrison Bay in June 2023.

I'm getting a rare opportunity to tour the Aliner factory in Pennsylvania during the National Rally of the Aliner Owners Club near there. The number of sites are going fast (80% booked up already) so I secured ours but it is too close date-wise to do both.

Camp on without us. We will catch up with you folks at the next opportunity.

Is this meet happening?

 

[garneska]

@2goofycampers yes this is still on.

 

[Bishoparc]

Looking forward to it! I was afraid I wasn't going to get to take vacation time but looks like I'm good to go!

 

[garneska]

i was looking for confirmation who was going. I see @Bishoparc is in. I think @Teamubr and @tigger92662 are going as well. Anyone else? We will be there on Wed June 14 to Sun.

Yes we are in. Teamubr is not as they will be in Europe

 

[Teamubr]

Yes we are in. Teamubr is not as they will be in Europe

This would have been a great trip, but we leave Friday for Rome and don't get back until the 18th after wrapping up with 4 days at DLP.

@tigger92662 when do you get in? I see check in is 4 pm. I am hoping to be there by 12:30. I hope they have overflow if the site is not empty. I am hoping someone can scope it out for me.

 

[tigger92662]

We are in Sunday the 11th. Will get the 411 and let you know

 

[Bishoparc]

I definitely checked in before 4 last time I was there. We get in on Sunday too. See you all soon!

 

[tigger92662]

[garneska]

Will that be your offering to Whisky when you meet her?
