SE COG Spring Rally aka Carving the Cumberlands Rally [TN]

SE COG Spring Rally aka Carving the Cumberlands Rally

Event is held in a beautiful area of Tennessee. We have reserved Fall Creek Falls Piney Creek Camp (FKA Group Camp 2), which will accommodate up to 150 people, it has 24 cabins, dining hall, commercial kitchen, 3 bath houses and a rec center. Theme is "Rustic” and was described by sage comrades in the past as, “think Boy Scout Camp”.  The park Lodge/Restaurant is very close to the camp.  Piney Creek is a large camp and fairly level, with a big field in the middle that has a base/softball backstop and a huge "bon fire" pit next to it with rough benches around it.  Bring those Kermits and such if your tooshie needs more than lumber, logs, or rocks!

On the main website scroll down to the Group Camps, we are using Group Camp #2 also known as Fall Creek Falls Piney Creek Camp.  Take that snapshot of bunkbeds to heart!  It’s 'indoors', but just a vinyl mattress on a steel plate.  Come prepared!  Twin fitted sheet plus sleeping bag and pillow will keep you comfy - ish.

Lodging

No camping in a tent or camper is allowed in the group camp area.  Your registration fee will include a bed in one of the 24 cabins in the camp, please click on the links provided to view the camp and cabins.  If you feel you must camp in a tent or trailer, the park does have a designated campground which you can camp at, but you will need to make your own arrangements. Also, the lodge is about a 1/2 mile away, so if you want to camp in a hotel room, you are free to do so as well, but on your own. 

General Notes for Rally Location

You will need to bring your own linens/sleeping bag, soap & towels.  We would suggest a twin fitted sheet for the mattress and then use your sleeping bag or just bring a blanket.  Again, check pictures in links above and on website to know what you might need to bring!  The cabins have electricity in them for a light and one two prong outlet. 

Rally Jobs

We will require each attendee sign up to help with one shift at either a meal (breakfast or dinner) or general duty.  We are responsible for the entire camp while we are there.  The first meal shift begins with supper on the 25th and concludes with breakfast on the 28th. General duty occurs each day from the 26th through the 28th.  Note that assignments are first-come, first-served, so we are asking attendees to indicate their first and second choice.  I will assign jobs as the registrations come in.  Work assignments will be handed out at check in at the rally and will be coordinated to have little impact on your riding time.  We will have ride routes and area attractions available.  The park itself has a golf course, boat rentals, bicycle rentals, fishing, pool, Canopy Challenge Course, and numerous hiking trails.
