Title says it all.

Any suggestions for a Missouri Element Campout?

Eh?

I wanted to get a group of you Element folks and head outdoors, looking to go yaking, hiking, fishing... and of course the best part about camping ----- relaxing.

Anyone interested? Hit this thread up with your suggestions.

How about Eureka Springs Arkansas?
Plenty of cabin rentals in the area and there are tons of stuff to do
and it's not to far.

I'm up for a get together as long as I can bring my dogs !

If I wasn't moving this summer, I would love to come out and camp with you all. Have to plan for my drive to Alaska though.

True that double true.

Kinda far to Arkansas.

Oh yah and feel to bring pets, etc. Don't forget your fishing poles and if you have a kayak or raft bring it.

---- Meramac? or Finger Lakes (in columbia, real freakin sweet... no cabins, tons of islands, inlets, swimming, fishing and of course lots of lakes) oh and a Big Bass Pro Shop within 20 mins [in case you forget something].

About 1 hr.... Not far. That is why we go there for short camps. Never crowded and clean. Camping is segregated by what type you do...:)

The CURRENT RIVER in Van Buren MO. It was a great trip in the E/camper.:cool:
I made my bed on the passenger side of the E-camper. My dog laid on the drivers side on the floor/padded. I used a sweet camp MOD: Take the Honda Skylight Shade Screen off the sunroof. Open the bottom tailgate close the top door. Set the Honda Skylight Shade Screen in the open gap with a fan in front. Fresh air and no bugs...I was the last to wake:cool:

I use the Kelly sunshade XL. It works perfect with the E-camper. You can open the back and it is a sweet fit. :cool:

The River was clear as can be. Very relaxing for my dog (Brutus) and I.:cool:
