Caravaning up

Friday 5 June 09

Folks who want to head up this day can meet at the old Wal-Mart parking lot in Jacksonville. Have your carpool group ready when you show. Meet time Friday at 9 am, that should get you there by 12ish...you can still catch last float of the day, or just fish and hang.

Saturday 6 June 09

Meet same spot 7 am. We will float this day (around noon) so be ready to hit the water when you get there.

Sunday 7 June 09

Well last day hope everyone is there. We can get up, eat some breakfast get a couple things ready and hit an early morning float. This way we can get done so if folks have to head home they can. If you do not want to float just hang at camp and do a little fishing, sleep, or relax and do what ever you want to do.

Monday 8 June 09

Pack up and head home. may do some fishing in the am.

Things to bring

Tent & camping stuff (sleep in, keep bugs off and water if rain)

Food (eating is good, there will be a grill or open fire rack).  The grill takes charcoal so bring some if you want to use it.

If you have a small, cheap grill bring it.  Cost about 20 bucks at Wal-mart.

Bug spray (bugs can be bad)

Blankets, sleeping bag, blow up mattress, blow up doll 

Sandwich material ( Good to have on the float)

Can beer (no bottles, I think it is $250 fine per glass bottle if caught. So bring can beer or a big wallet)

Cooler (keeps shit cold, drinking warm beer and then puking it in the river is not fun)

Paper plates, plastic forks/spoons

Fishing stuff (license with trout stamp, 4 lb test line, can of corn what ever for trout fishing).  Ask Mike, it's good to have if you need to catch your dinner.

Water proof bag (water and cameras,lighters, cigs seem be unlightable when wet)

Towels (dry your wet ass off)

Jager, enough said.

Directions To River

I would as a backup printout directions using mapquest or google maps

Take 67/167 North to Bald Knob, turn left, next intersection turn right and head toward Walnut Ridge, AR.  Hit Hwy 63 north, it will be a left just under the overpass. Head to Hardy, AR. 

On the way stop at the KUM & GO.  They have several items for 69 cents, Matt knows the story. Get some Diet Coke and Mentos and set them off in the parking lot to celebrate that you are about an hour from the river.

Go through Hardy, do not take the bypass it doesn't save any time. Besides, you've got to see the 1980ish cop car with fake cop. Reno 911 straight up.

As you leave Hardy continue to head north on Hwy 63. Approximately 9 or 10 miles later there will be a big dirt area on the left with a sign for Many Islands. Hwy 63 will have a passing lane at this point.  Turn left and follow the dirt road to Many Islands.
The entrance to the dirt road is below:

The Gettys Love Arkansas! Thank all of you for voting us Best Local Band in the Arkansas Times. We are totally stoked about the success the band has had after several years of playing here in Arkansas.  See the article at www.arktimes.com 

wow!  it's almost been four years as a getty.  the people we've met and the fun we've had.  it all seems so unreal sometimes.  we meet people in all different stages of life.  we'll see some of the best people in the world at moments we'll always remember them.  they may have a bad day and might share a little or vent out a little frustrations.  i'm thankfull that i have met the people i've met.  there are days when i just want to be left alone and then i go to a show and people are always there.  they are wonderful.  damn.  i'm greatful.  you folks have inspired, loved, and laughed with us.  thank you.  i'll remember you forever.

We had some fun this weekend, played at Cajun's on Thursday, which was a really good show.  Saw lots of people out.  Bogie's on Friday and Saturday.  Could have been better...much better.

Two of my guitars (and some other stuff) were stolen out of my truck on Saturday night/Sunday morning.  I should have known better, but fuck it.  The guitars are kind of rare, so maybe they will turn up somewhere.  If you happen to see someone trying to sell/trade/give away/play on either a blue and/or black 1998 Gibson Les Paul Standard Double Cutaways (I know thats long) let us know.  If you stole them and somehow stumble across this blog, I JUST WANT THEM BACK.  They will not be easy to pawn, I only know one other person that even owns one in Arkansas.

So I will be a Fender man until if and when I get the insurance stuff worked out.

Fuck thieves, may they rot in hell.  Or chew on the broken window glass they left all over the place.
