Title: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: T2 on October 24, 2006, 10:23:25 AM Just throwing around the Idea of camping that Fri and Sat of ThanksGiving Weekend, So I was wondering if anyone else be up for it or you all have plans for the family that weekend.

Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: miamigirlrider on October 25, 2006, 10:02:48 AM I will probably be there with some friends. He will be there for sure but I am still debating it....
Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: Loven It on October 25, 2006, 02:05:37 PM Is there anyplace close by there where you can store your quads since we don't have a toy hauler. We have been to Big Scrub and stayed someplace in an A Frame - can't remember the place. We went with friends and didn't have atv's yet but I am worried about how to lock them up to be able to sleep at night and not worry about them being stolen
Any suggestions? That is when I would like for us to go as well. Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: miamigirlrider on October 25, 2006, 03:55:01 PM Loven it, just park right in the middle away from the side access to roads and put your bike in the middle of a circle of tents, chain them and lock them up. or leave the bikes on the trailer chained up and park it backwards next to your tent. Trust me you will hear anything and nothing will happen if your in the middle of the campground, Also leave a fire on all night.
We always do this. Only people that get there bikes stolen is the people next to the road and with the bikes spread around not chained up.

Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: snowmanzz13 on October 25, 2006, 08:05:54 PM i have the same plan of goin there thanksgiving weekend also, maybe we will hang out?

They are great folks there. Thinking about going to Elite this time.

I would love to go, but the wife just had a baby on the 25th. Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: T2 on October 30, 2006, 12:13:19 PM Next Time Chino, I'm finally able to take my daughter with me now she will be four years old and I got her own quad now, so she can ride around the parking lot while Mama watches her. As far as my son goes hes trying real hard to beat Dad, but not yet I'm not that old. ;)

Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: logger on October 31, 2006, 09:26:19 PM It looks like big scrub, you better enjoy it now. When they put the trail system in down there, big scrub as you know it, won't be the same. The USFS is planning on a trail called the adventure trail designed for families, speed limit signs.
Enjoy it now..

It is my understanding they are still in the planning phases of this. This will be part of the new trail system. There will be 97 miles of trails with speed limit signs and no licensed vehicles are going to be allowed. I was at big scrub last weekend and the new bathrooms were locked. I don't know if there is a host there or not. I will be there on thanksgiving weekend. I'm looking for rain.. Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: GrizzlyBear on November 06, 2006, 10:04:51 AM Take my advice, if you are going for Thanksgiving weekend, go to the ONFA section, and make resverations online. When I was out there yesterday, the host was saying they expect a big group that weekend and will probably be turning people away.

Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: bad2thebone on November 12, 2006, 06:06:56 AM According to the online reservations there is nothing avaiable for camping that weekend. It might be on a first come first serve basis. Better check before you go.
Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: T2 on November 12, 2006, 08:20:43 PM THanks for the heads up
Title: Re: Thinking About Camping @ BIG SCRUB ThanksGiving Weekend Fri and Sat Post by: T2 on November 22, 2006, 09:15:40 PM I dont think I'm going to make it this weekend, I have alot of stuff to get done around the house, and plus I went riding today and the past weekend I camped out at the Scrub, You all have a safe ride and a great ThanksGiving, see everyone on the next group ride.
