Petit Jean Campers

[Homie]

Hardly a day goes by now that we are not discussing, planning, reminiscing about going back to the Mountain. We have got about 90% of the plan in place, and we are rar?in to go. Still room for some more campers, and what a great place to camp.... fire pits and electricity at each site, right near the cook area and the big circus tent. Long distance forecast is good (it?s about time). Please be sure and go to the website and register, no payment necessary as you register.... just need an idea of how much food to bring up the Mountain.
Looking forward to seeing some old friends and making some new ones.
A new addition for this year will be Margaritaville (or slushieville...depending on how old you are). Y?all Come!!

I am very excited to go. This will be my first year. I am very close to finishing Phase 1, so as long as the weather cooperates and I can finish, I'll be there!

How bare can one camp?

What I mean is if a person just brought tent, sleeping bag and lantern (no food) is there the ability to eat at the lodge or some place close? Haven?t ever been to Petit Jean but heard some really good comments about the weekend so I?m not sure what?s available.

According to Post #2, you are set! We, however, are going to also pack two chairs and some Medicinal Beverages.

Hi Jim,

If you register and pay the fee, it covers all your meals, transportation, etc. It is a really good deal. As others have said, bring your chairs. Don't forget tie-downs, either. A camera is a good idea as is a pair of hiking shoes if you like to take scenic hikes. If you like star gazing, I hear a good pair of binoculars or telescope might come in handy. Come join the rest of the Okie RV'ers on the mountain.

Carey and I plan on arriving Friday before lunch.

Tanya and I have camped at PJ nearly every year since about 2009. That is LONG before the current fully produced event started. All of the effort that Bill and the rest of the PJ crew put in is amazing and makes for a completely enjoyable event. Last year, we stayed in a room for the first time (as opposed to camping). This year, we're doing the same, but I declare that next year, we're going back to camping in the campgrounds!

The spirits around the camp fire, then taking your pillow out to the end of the runway around midnight for some real star gazing is simply priceless and is lost if you aren't in a tent. Camping is really great and super low effort at PJ. For those camping, it works best when there is one large camp fire, and not 6 little fires at individual sites. Share the love, squash your personal fire and go join someone else's. It just equates to more funny stories to be had in the darkness .

Jim, this is really rough camping. It could be really cold 50 degrees and you might have to run your extension cord from your electric blanket about 20 feet. That is the kind of prep you need to think about All kidding aside, its' the easiest camping you'll ever do and we set it up specifically so that you you don't need food, firewood, or other camper necessities. Tent, bag, medicinals, and a grin are pretty much all you need. Bring a friend, you have room now and it's a lot more fun!

Check out the website: WWW.PetitJeanFlyIn.com and be sure to do the online registration. That is really important for our planning purposes!

See you on the Mountain
