We will be doing our fly-in camping trip to Petit Jean (MPJ) this year on Friday, November 6. Sorry about relatively short fused notification, I plead disorganized! All RVers are invited, bring your spam can friends along too if they want to come.
The Plan: Arrive whenever you want on Friday, I plan on getting there mid-afternoon-ish. Friday evening is The Banquet, our mass campfire cookout meal and socializing, followed by retiring to our tents and being serenaded to sleep by the geese that I guess are still there.
Saturday, for those who want to, we can eat all the leftover food and dessert for breakfast, and then the FBO can give us a ride over to the main park for a hike. Lunch at Mather Lodge if we want, and then return to airport camping. All this flexible with the only "real" event the Friday night "Banquet". Option to stay another night camping if desired.
What to bring: chocks, tie-downs, tent camping gear, food for yourselves and some extra to share with the "drop-ins," a dessert to share, and something to cook with - I'm bringing a couple of those "disposable" grills from WalMart, or you can bring some kind of grill to use over the campfire.
The Petit Jean camping area is very close to where we park the planes and has electricity, water, and an excellent bath house with showers. Cost is about $5 - $10 per person I think, I haven't figured out how we pay yet but we ARE booked for the 6th.
This trip has been a great time in the past, hope to see you there!
