OVERVIEW Reservation #
0172255061 The main gate is only open from 10 AM to 7 PM Wednesday and Thursday, and from 10 AM to 10 PM Friday and Saturday. Plan accordingly. CAMPSITE Bruce has Site-027 reserved which is right on the water. See the photo above. He is bringing the trailer which has heat, air conditioning, full kitchen with microwave, full bath and satellite TV so we don't miss any important games. It can sleep 7 comfortably. We will use an outdoor camp kitchen with stoves and grills for main meal preparation. Below is a photo of the trailer from a previous campout.
The campsite is limited to 8 persons and is about 300' from the park showers and restrooms. While the trailer has a bathroom, the holding tanks do not have the capacity to accommodate all of us for the entire stay, so the park showers and restroom will be used during the day. The bathroom in the trailer may be used late at night during sleeping hours so folks do not have to venture outside to use the restroom. Tent camping is okay if you want to bring your own tent, tent pad and sleeping gear. The only limit is 8 persons on the site. There is a 9x10 tent with queen air mattress carried in the trailer if you want to set it up and repack it when done. PARKING Two cars can be parked at the site as long as they are on the pavement. One of the cars will be my Suburban used to tow the trailer. There is an overflow parking area for extra cars, and the park staff said there is no limit on the number of vehicles we can put in the overflow area. There is a $5 per day parking fee per vehicle you will need to pay for the number of cars beyond the 2 at the camp site. You can ride down from Richardson with Bruce if you do not want to take your car. He can take up to 4 additional persons and bikes with him. Departure will be between 11 AM and noon on Wednesday. ITINERARY Wednesday, October 2nd The first day will be devoted to travel and check in at 3:00 PM, setting up camp, having dinner, and socializing around a camp fire that evening. Thursday, October 3rd Since not everyone is likely to be there for Thursday, this will be a day of side trips and a small amount of riding. Candidate side trips will be determined by group interest, so think about what you might want to do while in the area. Friday, October 4th The plan is to ride the Goodwater
Loop at an The Goodwater Loop is considered a technical trail. While it's mostly flat, there are a few short sections with steep climbs and descents that may have to be walked. There is a section of "Cheese Grater" limestone at the beginning of the trail. Most of the trail is single track, although there are a few sections of double track (Jeep road) and the final section across the dam is paved. Saturday, October 5th Saturday will be our major ride day. We will ride the entire Goodwater Loop at a normal ride pace. Since the trail is 26 miles long, the ride is expected to take 4-5 hours. Sunday, October 6th Sunday, we have breakfast, break camp before 2:00 PM and drive back home. MEAL PLANNING The main meals are a group event. Everyone helps with the preparation and cleanup. A menu covering breakfast, lunch and dinner each day will be socialized and finalized with the group no later than the weekend before departure. Bruce, and anyone that would like to help with the grocery shopping, will buy provisions a day or two before departure. Everyone pays for food by the Sunday before departure. Folks will also help with the cost of ice for the coolers while at the campsite.
Between meal snacks are not included in the main meal plan. Instead, everyone
brings their own favorite after noon and evening snacks with a
little extra to share with the group. Everyone also brings their own MENU Wednesday, October 2nd
