    Default 3rd Annual Flint River Jam

    I am trying to decide if I want to have the 3rd Annual Flint River Jam in the same place, with possible camping at Wingate's Lodge or move a couple hours up river to Lake Blackshear.

    If we do Lake Blackshear, those of us that want to stay at Georgia Veteran's State Park either in cabins or camping out, will have to book in the next couple of days. We are looking at the holiday weekend of Sept 3-6 with the "event" on Sat.

    In a minute I'll post some pics I got last week. Here is a link to the State Park site (there are 11 campsites left today):

    It's in Cordele, GA. There is a dam, but it's still the Flint River so I can have the jam there. I could not get into the campground without registering and getting a code. The sites looked nice and many were right on the water. From Clermont or Tampa, it's the same length of drive as coming here (well Bainbridge, GA), but it would be all interstate till the last 8 miles or so -- so it should be a little shorter drive. I think it's about 3 hrs. from Gainesville.

    Is there a reason to change the event location this year? Cordele is a lot further from my direction.

    No reason. Try something different? Maybe fewer gnats but that could happen anywhere depending on conditions. It's further for me too (and for zegm) but the same distance for Stacy. I may just change the campsite but keep the event in the same place. Might try Blackshear with the family first one weekend and really scope it out.
