Clarion river outing 2012 sign up

ok folks. if you plan on attending please let me know so we can figure on how many are coming.
it would be nice if everyone can pitch in and bring something to the picnic.
there is fishing, swimming and a playground nearby. i'll put up a couple of canopies like i did last year next to the river.

the date is aug. 11th.plan on eating between 2:30pm and 3:00pm.
this will be held in cooksburg in cooks forest along the clarion river. got a campsight in the ANF, enough room for 5-7 tents.
 
some of the attendees come early and kayak/fish/canoe/float tube down the river before we eat on saturday. some stick around on sunday also.
 
whatcha bringing?
1. doubletaper = coleman stove, plates, plasticware, charcoal. red solo cups.
(there is no alcohol allowed in park.)
there will be at camp sight!
2. mikastorm  = burgers
3. bingsbaits = campsite wood
4. mohawksyd = Buffalo chicken dip
5. josh7388 = chuck wagon beans, and pretzel salad
6. WF & Queen = fresh catch of the day!
7. acmaul13 + 2 = condiments, apple pie, veggie tray  
8. kyler16?
9. Frisco +2 = Deer chops and burgers
10. deetz= wine for the camp sight
11. Teressa = cheezy potatoes and brownies
12. cold= chips and munchies 
 
directions to picnic 8/11/12 
  i'll be setting up for the picnic around 8:00am this saturday. anyone wants to help out be at the picnic sight.

coming from the west.
Take I80 east to the clarion exit. go north past wal-mart. stay straight through clarion, past court house, on miola road. you'll come to a stop sign which is rte 36. turn right. follow into cooksburg to the bridge over the clarion river, turn left before the bridge. go about a mile upriver. you'll come to an area with lots of picnic tables along the road/river and a playground.

if you're coming from the east take I80 west. get off at the brookville exit and follow rte. 36 north/west. follow the signs to cooks forest. stay on 36. when you pass mcbeths campground and store slow down and cross the bridge over the clarion river. turn right after bridge. go about a mile upriver. you'll come to an area with lots of picnic tables and a playground along the river..

i'll set up tarps and picnic stuff along the river in the morning. this should be before the play ground.
 
 directions to camp,
from the river road where the picnic will be held.
follow rte 36 east/south from mcbeths campground store (just east of bridge in cooksburg on rte36). follow rte.36 to rte899. trun left onto 899north. down hill and cross over the bridge in clarington and turn at first rt. go to stop sign and go straight on belltown rd. (actually a quick rt. and lft.) follow this and you'll see the river on your right. you'll be on this road for about 4 miles and than you'll go across millstone creek bridge and to a stop sign. turn rt. you'll take the bend to the left and see a modern pit bathroom building on the left. camp site is the 2nd site on the left C2.   

if you're coming from brookville (off at exit) follow rte. 36 north/west to rte899. turn rt on 899. go down hill than turn rt. as soon as you cross the bridge and follow the directions above.

any questions send me a msge. plenty of area to pitch a few more tents.

    Sounds like a good time. I don't have a yak, but I have a nice canoe. How far do you guys float? What do you fish for up there?

    mostly smallmouth some fish for the big cats. there are also trout around.
    4 to 8 miles. there are a lot of places to put in. the river is wadable in most places and if the water is real low you might have to get out and pull.
    normal lures for the smallies such as rapala's, rebel frogs and crawdads. bait, rubber worms and such.
    if you're fly fishing for smallies, buggers, clousers and ted stones beneath. on top humpy's, wulff patterns and such.
    for trout caddis, humpy's, buggers ect...

    OK at this point it looks like the better half's schedule is going to be her off the 11th and 12th.Thats gonna mean only one night of camping:( And maybe a day or so of fishing,maybe the Queen and Jerry can take me to one of their honey holes(HINT,HINT).Anyway Carol,JT and myself should be there 90% at this point.
    Lets say condiments and chips right now,and once I talk to her again probably a veggy tray +
    We'll be there one way or another.

    Frisco, i'm sure there will be others floating down the river. it only goes one way so you can't get lost.
    Kids will enjoy wading in the water, not very deep where we picnic at.
    i'll pitch a tent on Wedensday and save the big camping sight. i'll try to take friday off so i'll be there all day. i'll give all directions wed. evening once i get the sight.
     
    for the new attendies, the clarion river is more like a wide stream above Cooksburg. very wadable in most areas.
