You do not ne ed to check-in. Go directly into the campground\, and look for Loop L. Look for a black Hyundai Tucson with 4 kayaks on top. \n\nFriday Night Food – F riday night we will be having a traditional “pot-luck” type dinner at the p avilion in the campground. Everyone should bring a dish or side-dish. If yo u have a stove or grill\, feel free to cook on-site. There are no grills or stoves at the pavilion\, so make sure to bring your own if you’re planning on cooking. We’ll plan on starting dinner around 6:30PM. For those arrivin g late\, don’t worry about bringing food for Friday night.\n\nSaturday Nigh t Food “Throwdown” – This is a challenge to all of you outdoor cooks\, it’s time to show off your best dish. The rules are simple: all the contestants cook their best dish\, we’ll assign judges who will determine who has the best dish. Needless to say\, this will all be done in good fun. I would exp ect plenty of good natured “trash talking”. If you’re not interested in com peting\, no problem\, please just treat this as a “pot luck”\, and bring a side dish. We will plan on starting the “Throwdown” at 6:30PM in the pavili on.\n\nOther Meals: Everyone will be responsible for providing their own fo od for all other meals. If you don’t feel like “roughing it”\, the park has a very nice restaurant in their hotel that is open for breakfast & lunch. Also\, if you would like to pair-up with other people for meals\, feel free to use the message boards to arrange details. \n\n\n********************** *******************\n\n\n\nCome join Paddle Adventures Plus for a fun fille d weekend on our first camping trip of the year at Dale Hollow Lake State P ark in Kentucky.
