We need a decision on camp tent

Green Wing did some wheeling and dealing with the tent company and got us a sweet deal on a tent like we had before and even got sides thrown in plus they will deliver and show us how to set it up. Is this what we want to do? We also need to get a date set for them coming down to set it up. I am thinking Thursday afternoon. I may not be able to make it that day but we should have several members at camp by Thursday to watch/help with set up. I am all for this tent at this price. Lets here what everyone else thinks before we pull the trigger on it. Here is what Green Wing posted in Off Topic about it.

Got to call Big T Tents in KC today. I talked to Gary and was able to work out a deal for a 20x30 tent. Since we only had the $1500 to work with he is willing to sell us an entire used (1 to 2 year old) 20x30 tent for $1500. This will include top, all poles, stakes and YES sides!!!! It should also come with a one year warranty. They build the tents onsite. They will also bring it down and show us how to set it up for the first time. This sounds like a win for us that I hope everyone can agree on.

What does everyone think about this?

If we decide to go this was what date are we needing it and has anyone rented the site it will sit on and checked with the campground about putting it up?

Go for it

Jared if your waiting for everyone to agree we may be here next year . I say do it we will live with it.

What is the question, that is a good deal, DO IT DO IT DO IT!! Close the deal already. Good job guys, so wishing I was going to be there.

You're the boss.

Actually whatever you decided will be fine and if someone don't like it they are welcome to stand in the rain!!!

Bill enough with the rain talk. We are getting the tent to keep the rain away. Lets do it then. I will figure out how to get the money to Green Wing or take care of paying for it over the phone directly. How all will be there on Thursday afternoon? That seems like a good time to have it set up. Do we want it in the grassy area of A-43? Or we could even have it set up in the drive way. That would be an option if the grass has not been mowed.

I just looked and A-43 is taken already. Is it one of us?

I say lets close that deal while it is hot......

I also agree we need to contact the Campground ASAP. I am not familiar with the camp layout or I would do it. I can if given the INFO.

David here is the number for the Bucksaw campground. (660)477-3402. We have had a 30x40 set up across from the A-43 site in the grassy area and I believe even in the A-43 site. I don't think it will be an issue but would not hurt to find out. You may check and see if it would be better in the grass or in the drive way. Tell them it is for the crappie.com bunch. They have grown to know most of us and have really done us well. Taking them a little of our meals on Friday and Saturday in the past I'm sure has helped. If we can get Chris Wyatt to unhook his dang garden hose each time when he gets done with it we would be golden:Rofl

Will do Jared.

Also Blackhawk Lowe's post in fishing The Cliffs Tourney said check in and weigh @ AO43 site. Is this the one you were asking about?

Yes. I will send him a message and see if they have it reserved. The area between it and A-44 will work as long as they are both cdc members. Plenty of room also across the road from A-43.

You all have a good plan....go for it! Make sure we get someone down there with a video camera to film the set up and maybe ask the crew what to do about taking it down (if there are some steps needed other than reverse)

I talked to Bigby and will be down there. Hopefully we can get a couple others to be there also.

I think JigfisherX might have been in A44 last year..???????????

Buy it!!!!! But I think a circus tent would match our style a little better.:Rofl

Buy it. Won't find a better deal.
Let us know when it will be set up.

Does anyone know who has A 44 at the campground and A 45 ???

I agree with Bigby, we wouldn't need a circus tent if it weren't for that northern bunch........... spend the money, hell u weren't giving it to me for my advice anyway....:Rofl

I have A-45 from the 29th to the 3rd.

Thanks Bigby......


Just need to know about A 44....... now

I did not camp. We have a place at Eagles Nest RV. I can be there Thursday afternoon for setup.

I will be there Thursday also

id be happy to help set up

Well we are going to pull the trigger on this one tomorrow. Will know for sure tomorrow but hoping for a afternoon of the 30th setup. Sounds like several people will be down that can watch/help with setup. Hopefully this will last us a while and not have to worry as much about weather during our camps.

I plan on being there also. Post an approximate time when you have it.

Come on up, Monty, and I'll pay you exactly what you're worth to teach me to catch fish.....just don't quit your day job quite yet.:Rofl

Ok guys we need another $125.25 for taxes for the tent. We can either have me front the cash for it and pass the hat at camp. Or do some type of donation/fundraiser before camp. Either way works for me. I was thinking if we took donations we could give what ever we came up with over the $125.25 to Cliffs memorial fund. What's everyone think?

Sounds good to me.

I'm in Jared. I'll be there Wednesday so I can try to help. Will there be beer? :cheers2

Sounds like a great idea to give the extra to the memorial fund.

Sounds good

Thanks for doing that Jared. You the man

I'm down for $20. If you're at the shop in the morning I'll drop it off.

Count me in for donation! Be there now but darn tax man has got me waiting for signature! Hope to be able to get there this week Jared.

I'm good for $20. Will try to stop by the store next time I'm through town .

Count me in for $20 also. Thanks Jared for all you do for us.:ThumbsUp

I got a call back from Ranger Dan I talked to about the tent setup at camp. He said he had talked with the Ranger covering that area and said there was not any problem with us setting up the tent like we have in the past. Jumping Jacks Icon

I thanked him for returning my call and checking for us.
