REMEMBERING CARBIDE's SUMMER CAMPS -- 28th Year Reunion!

 Save the Dates!
 Once again, we will be hosting an informal mini-reunion during the weekend of July 16-18, 2010. We'll have the usual meet-and-greet get-together on Friday night, and the visit to Blue Creek on Saturday/Sunday! 

We'll also do a little planning for the BIG 30th reunion in 2012
-- 30 years since the last camping summer on the Creek!

FRIDAY, JULY 16: An informal get together beginning at approximately 6:00pm at the FOP Hall in Charleston. Their bar and beer prices are excellent, and we'll have some pizza and wings on order! 
Directions: From I-64 Dunbar Exit, take Roxalana Rd. to WV St. Rt. 62. Turn left onto 62, go 1/2mile and turn right onto Woodrum's Lane. Go 1/4 mile to FOP on the right. There should be signs posted.

You can also take WV 62 at the intersection in North Charleston where the Cold Spot is. Just follow it approx. 1 mile to Woodrum's Lane on the right, and go 1/4 mile to FOP on the right.

SATURDAY, JULY 17: Visit the former campsites on Blue Creek. Campers can make their way out to The Creek late morning and meet at the Hunting & Fishing Club, with informal visits to the 
Camelot and Carlisle campsites during the afternoon. We will be using the Hunting & Fishing Club only as a rendezvous point this year - overnight will be at the Camelot or Carlisle sites. 

OVERNIGHT CAMPING: For those interested in overnight camping, we will be camping at the former Camelot & Carlisle campsites. 

NOTE: Food is BYO this year. (We're saving up for 2012 and the BIG 30th!) So if you're going to get hungry while at the Creek, you must plan on one of the following options: 

a) fishing for your dinner in the creek
b) catching and cooking the appropriate wildlife in the area
c) stealing Randy's can of beans out of the campfire before it explodes
d) bringing something with you...

HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS: Visitors often stay at the Wingate Inn located at 402 Second Avenue, South Charleston. (304) 744-4444. This and other nearby hotels are listed when you do a Google search for South Charleston Hotels.

We look forward to seeing you this July as we make our annual pilgrimage to The Creek! Stay tuned for updates as they develop and check the camp website www.carbidecamps.net, or the Carbide Camps Facebook page for updates, information and details.

Please confirm your attendance by responding to this email, or by replying to Randy Rice on his Carbide Camps Facebook page. 

Sincerely, 
Your Reunion Committee
