The Blackwoods Campground has been recommended to us, and I have picked out a pair of sites tucked in back that I will attempt to reserve with appropriate interest. We are allowed 6 people on each site, 2 tents, but only 1 car. I am assuming that we will be able to park extra cars at the registration building, but carpooling sounds like a dandy idea too.
I believe the sites are $20 per night, so this trip may be a bit more expensive, with taxes and crap figure $30 per night, 4 nights, 2 sites, divided by the number of participants on a given day. Perhaps we will do 1 site for the first 2 nights and 2 sites for the second 2 nights?
Be forewarned that the "No Accelerants" rule has been self-imposed, so there will likely be a great deal of swearing before we achieve fire. If you've ever wondered how people make fire without matches or lighters, this will be your opportunity to point and laugh as a group of grown men fritter about on their hands and knees until things go from smoulder to burn, like my love for you.
Additionally, be aware that transporting wood from Massachusetts can be potentially disasterous on account of the Asian Longhorned Beetle. All wood should be preburned, soaked in caustic chemicals, taken from unwanted furniture, or procured up north.

For the record, I vote against burning wood soaked in "caustic chemicals"; depedning on the chemical, it also may violate the "No Accelerants" rule.
ReplyDeleteI have a charcoal chimney, which you put the charcoal on top and add newspaper in the bottom. It heats up the coals really nice and then we can always add whatever kind of wood on top afterwards.
