I’ll pencil it for now.
Should be able to time this with a visit to my wife’s family in IL.

South East Bash
- Thread starter LYU370
- Start date
I’m down for 5/4.
Well then, it looks like we have a Bash in the making. Let's bump this up and see if we can get some more attention to it!
I just looked up the dates for Memphis in May and it appears to be the same weekend as this bash, so the quicker I can make the reservation for the pavilion the better. I have been looking at state parks near Nashville and I think Cedars of Lebanon will work great. There are currently 20 (+or-) campsites in areas 2&3 which appears to be close to the pavilion that I have my eyes on. The park is approximately a half hour from Nashville and there are several hotels/motels around Lebanon in case you aren't camping.
Count me in! I'll text Phillip and Rob to alert them of this development.

May The Fourth Be With You all....
I like the date and location!
I can avoid nashville, always a good thing.
Our family members live just Northeast of the park, in the Springfield-White House- Orlinda triangle.
Might get a few of them to drop by.

Never been to Nashville, so I'll probably hit the main drag with the overpriced drinks just to check things out.
Excellent! I like the way things are coming together.
Andy, depending on where you stay, a lot of places offer shuttles to and from downtown.
I just spoke to someone at the park that I had my eyes on and I told her that we may want to have a couple of beers while we cook and we certainly will be drinking a toast to our brethren that have gone on before us and she said that alcohol was prohibited there. Is that a deal breaker for most or should I try to find another place?
It was not (technically) allowed at the Texas bashes either. Everyone was discrete with a coozie for cans or a cup for other beverages. We also fed the park Rangers. :wink:
When we had the Chicago bashes they were always at a Cook County Forest Preserve, because all the other counties prohibited booze. But like Mike said, we were discretely boozing at the North Texas bash, South Texas bash not as discrete.
A lot of Gubment owned facilities prohibit alcohol, but it's usually only used as a tool to eject trouble makers.
I don't think it'll be an issue, as long as we're discrete.

What’s the park, Ron? Wondering what they have for RV facilities.
The Cedars of Lebanon. When I last looked, they had about 15 or so RV spaces left and no cabins available.
Is it the 4th for sure Ron?
Nowadays, you have to pay up front for most campground reservations is why I ask.

The person that I spoke with said that the park manager wanted to know more about the gathering we have planned, so they sent me a special use application wanting more detailed information, so I have to send that in and pay once approved. Since May 4 seemed to work for everyone, we'll stick with that date.
