Now that's out of the way...
Yes, one of us should contact the campground in order to make sure they'll have enough spaces available for us. It was pretty wide open when were there in early May.
Paragon needs no advance notice. We'll be fine with just heading over around 10am.

We just bought a new rice burner actually!
The wife was unhappy with the gas mileage on the Titan with the new 35s (big surprise, huh?) so we dicided that purchasing a new RSX Type S would actually wind up savings us money... She drives a good number of miles per week and the average was about 12-13 mpg. This little hatchback thingy is quite fun to drive and its currently doing like 25-26mpg city/hwy combo.

What you need to realize is that SOME of those people were not kidding. Some people on this forum are so incredibly ignorant that they have this ridiculous attitude that a "Ford" truck is the greatest thing since packaged cheese and foreign vehicles are all total crap.
That's fine to have that opinion... provided that you have some basic idea of factual basis to support that position. Some of these guys have never driven a Tundra, Titan, or even another american truck for that matter. They have no experience with them, no objective data, and no ground to stand on. Yet, they are the first to share their absurd beliefs with everyone that will listen.
It is that kind of representation that makes me embarassed to be associated with other Ford owners. I've owned Hondas, Nissans, Chebbies, Mercuries, Toyotas, Fords, Dodges, Acuras, etc... You know what? I liked certain things about all of them and with the exception of the Chevy Beretta I owned, NONE of them were worthy of such terrible comments.
At the end of the day, I know that my wife's Titan is something that is nicer than anything 90% of those jerkoffs that made rude comments will ever own in their entire lives... so it really doesn't get under my skin. Comments like, "that's what you get when you let a **** pick your vehicle" bother me because the human waste that made it has no idea who my wife is or what her talents/knowledge might be. It's the total ignorance that is anoyying. Most people would think it is pretty cool that my little wife drives a lifted truck with 35s...
Honestly, I have a pretty good idea who was kidding and who was serious. It's the people who are serious about it that give other F-150 owners a bad name.

Penquin..Screw those guys. It's not worth it man. I feel better knowing what you were reffering to now though. I'm the furthest thing from a "Stupid Redneck" A while ago I got pretty pissed at some comments that were made and just how people were acting in general, so I stopped coming here and posting for a while. I got over it with the help of a few kind words from one of the moderators. It's all good now. I just don't listen to the retards, post where I want and stay out of all the stupid My trucks better than your truck" threads.
One question...did you get rid of the Titan or just park it until the weekends?
Ok, now all thats straightened out. I guess we should start a list of people who are going. I'll start it in the next post. Decide if we need to bring anything as a group or if we all just want to fend for ourselves. And see when everyone will be going and from where in case anyone wants to convoy or whatever. I can call the campground and see if they will have room for us and see what needs to be done to reserve the sites. Lets give this thread one more week to get a list of everyone going and then I'll call. Sound good??

Well at least maybe if we each gave a count of how many vehicles are going with you and how many camp sites you will need. Then when we call the campground we can make sure we reserve enough sites all together.
If you guys want, PM or email me and I'll add them to the list thats posted here.

UPDATE!!!
I just talked to Marie at Red Ridge Lake Campground. They have one big group site with NO water or electric. She said that area will hold about 50 people. It's $10 per person per night. So for 2 nights it will cost each person $20
Then she told me she has another group site with 15 sites on it which allows for 1 tent on each site. This area DOES have water and electric. The cost is still $10 per person per night and an additional $5 per site for the water and electric.
Let me know what you guys think...water and electric or not and I will call and reserve the site.

I dont think we need electric or water. We can bring water and the little electric we need can be supplied by inverters and the truck.
If you all want different sites that fine but I'd be fine with the group site.
If my brother in law comes it would be us two and two trucks otherwise it is just me and my truck.
