Update attendee list (please let me know if I’m missing anything or anyone (hard to do this on a phone)). More details to follow early next week. Just to remind everyone there’s no cell coverage in the NRocks area due to the nearby presence of the National Radio Observatory (museum on site worth checking out). NRocks does have free WiFi at the Welcome Center.

Hello all! I have been off this grid far too long. If I can make, it will be last minute.

Looks like an awesome trip and well planned!

All,
Was able to grab some pictures today. Plan is to relocate the tables around a main fire pit (visible right side below). This will give us space to circle the wagons around the perimeter of the camping area. A few thoughts:

-It takes 5-10 minutes to walk from the camping area to the NRocks Welcome Center (all downhill from the camping area).
-The camping area sits in a draw between two large hilltops. This will have an impact on solar charging. Folks are welcome to bring/run generators if desired.
-Recommend leveling blocks. The camping area has a slight slope (visible below).
-Although there are no hookups, fresh water is available at the NRocks Welcome Center. Restrooms are also available there.
-Free WiFi available at the Welcome Center (no cell service in the area).
-Best way to pay for camping/activities is via check (made out to NRocks Outdoor Adventures). Rates are $7.95 per person/per night camping. Activities are discounted per the earlier pm.
-Please check in at the Welcome Center. I'll have a packet for you there with waivers and area info. I'll collect fees and waivers Fri evening and again on Sat morning.
-Band starts at 6:00 on Sat.
-NRocks is located at 141 Nelson Gap Ln Circleville, WV 26804.
