The July 15-17, 2016 Carbide Camps Reunion - UPDATE June 29
Our site is www.carbidecamps.net
This is a free event
(Donations cheerfully accepted to support future events or flood relief.)
Barb Neddo, Dave Gardner, Angela Allison, Marty Wyatt and Bob Lilley

This annual reunion takes place at a time of continuing and disturbing changes on Blue Creek. The Hunting and Fishing Lodge has seen much damage and vandalism since the closure of the residences and campground nearby -- an early consequence of property ownership changes on the Creek. Former Camp Galahad was still for sale the last we heard, but there are also sad stories and mysteries about events there under previous management. Details on its current status are unknown. Also this year we welcome Carbide's Camp Brookside to our activity! See the Brookside web page for more information.

The location for the reunion activities has changed
due to damage from the recent storms in the Charleston area. 

July 15 - Friday evening starting at 5 PM: With thanks and best wishes to Julie and John Wiles for their invitation, we've moved the event to another location due to flood damage their cabin suffered. The reunion will be held at "Camp Sam" in Sissonville, by invitation from Kelly "Sam" Shamblin ([email protected]). We'll have the usual food and drink, and friends and memories!
Sleeping accommodations: "We have the usual in a house...aka few beds, floor space, couches. The porch is large -- like old times at the H/F lodge. There's a barn, tent space galore, room for RVs, and we've even been known to throw a tarp over less-fortunate souls! -- Bring chairs."
July 15 through 17: The plan was to continue camping, hiking, etc., on Blue Creek but this cannot now be recommended. The Hunting and Fishing Lodge is likely unavailable and may be unsafe, and the Camelot and Carlisle locations may be unusable due to recent flooding. Find out the latest on July 15. Camp Sam will be available for the weekend.
