Plans :
I called the Oconee County parks department to ask about conditions at Chau-Ram park based on a comment from Ronnie earlier - he said a friend had been there a week or so ago and it was flooded. The nice lady i spoke to said the river had been as high as she had ever seen it and advised against swimming. Also, the gate locks at 8:30pm - no exceptions, which might be an issue for those of you leaving late. So... I asked her about their two other parks : http://www.oconeecountry.

South Cove County Park
Location : http://goo.gl/maps/a6awO
88 sites, most of them on the water, closer to town. gate closes at 10:00pm
High Falls County Park
Location : http://goo.gl/maps/sk4p0
100 sites, 10 on the water (usually taken), great for kids (better swimming area, volley ball, etc)
The weather looks good, so I don't know how much of a rain plan we need... Could be talked into taking canoes / boats...
From Ronnie's list :
Dawkins - 2Broam - 6Wigley - 3Villas -4Himes-3Madge - 2 pending - didn't assign any food items, bring dessert for Saturday night if you can come?
It looks like we need 3 sites. We are planning to go up Friday morning and claim as many as they will let us. Weather looks favorable at this point. The rivers there have been high, so the wading / swimming / tubing plan will depend on conditions. I'll plan on bringing some info about area hikes and ask around for other things to do.
Remember - as always bring your own : snacks and drinks
