Dirt Merchant # 61422 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 What is the availability of campsites? Cost? Dan, I was copied on an email from Done Gone a week or so ago that said all campsites and rv slots were filled. Might give him a shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge'm All Duncan, SASS#67320 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 DD, If you are bringing a tent there is plenty of room plus there is a shower real close by. If you have a camper you best get in touch with Done Gone he may be able to squeeze you in. We still have room for a few more shooters!!!! There is NO CHARGE for camping.

Goliath, SASS #41359 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hope I'm not too late - I plan to get the application in the mail tomorrow Finally have the scheduling worked out, I think.

Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm in the process of getting a hotel lined up. I've seen that MRD said to stay on the Cumming-Dawsonville side because the banquet will be in Cumming. Is it accurate that the hotels are 40-45 minutes from the range? Which town that has a hotel(s) is closest to the range? Fancy is not required. If the answer is posted here, please also send me a PM just to be sure I get the information as quickly as possible if you don't mind. Thanks!

McKenzie River Drifter, #74138 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Buck I double checked with Done Gone. It is about 1/2 hour from the club to Canton, Dawsonville or Cumming. I personally chose Cumming because it is only 5 minutes to the banquet facility. It is about 15 from Dawsonville and 45+ from Canton. These times are all from the town to the banquet, not counting range to hotel to clean up for banquet. Fast Eddie and I are staying at the Holiday Inn Express so we can understand the stages. Tried to leave PM, but would not accept message. Looking forward to seeing you at the shoot McKenzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Like a lot of shooting ranges, there are no "close hotels." The ones in Dawsonville and Cumming are about 1/2 hour away. The ones in Canton are about 5 minutes closer. Sometimes the traffic is a little heaver on the East side.It is nice to stay near where the banquet is and likely the majority of folks will be staying there so that is nice as well. But it takes us about an hour longer to get to the east side, unless traffic is bad, then it takes longer. So we are staying near Canton this time. We figure we will only go to the banquet once, but to the range several times. From the Canton motel to Cumming is about 1/2 hour trip. Going from the range, to Canton, then Cumming will be probably 50 minutes. So for folks on the East side of Atlanta, Cumming area is definitely better. From the West, it is up to you, but we are trying Canton this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch Doctor, SASS # 70062 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks Rolan. So, I assume it's 6 stages and is a Pig Iron start (somewhere around 9 a.m. and in any order)? Rufus Good one Rufus...You made me laugh. For those of us old enough to remember - same bat time - same bat channel. To paraphrase Yank Machain, I'm coming and I'm bringing Pig Iron with me. See you there and we will test out our new sound system, I can't wait for that... Witch Doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Business Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Matt, I think I know where your marbles are. Check your nose. Still no takers on bringing your git-fiddles? I don't think y'all wanna hear me and Matt singing.....or him pickin'. We would wind up BEING the campfire. I know, let's have a spelling contest. (I've always wanted to say that!)

Captain Bill Burt Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I doubt I can take two whole days off in one week. The local marshal, (read Principal) would get a tad bit testy. And even worse, the natives (read children) would definitely get restless, might even start an uprising. Next week is when they go through one of our rites of passage into adulthood, otherwise known as the Georgia High School End of Course Tests. Tensions will be running high and trigger, I mean pencil, fingers will be itchy. All the local deputies will be on high alert. So, long story short, I would rather be at the range, much safer, but won't be able to make it, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
