Charlie thank you for helping give us this great opportunity!

I'll second that, thanks Charlie

Michelle and I have spent many a day wheelin at Gilmer and enjoyed many good times camping at the old campground in years past...even put in a work day or two clearing new camp sites there.

It's great to see that BMRA and the old campground will be put to good use and enjoyed once again...great to finally see an organization with class leadership have the opportunity to take over the reins and run with it....havn't been to Gilmer since March '09 and really looking forward to good times once again!

Agreed the campsite is very nice. What club gets the old site?

Don't know. I do know there are apparently a few other clubs interested in sponsoring a site though.

This is AWESOME!! Last time I went to BMRA (June 11-13), we camped at the site...even used the vise (fixed it first) to get my axle shaft OUT of the detroit.
GREAT SITE!!!

Guys,

It is true that the campsite officially belongs to you guys. Regrettably the issues between LSJC and BMRA/TMTC could not be worked out.

I don't mind discussing the issues that brought about this decision, but I would rather do it in a different maner than the open forum. It is time for the park to move on and concentrate on other clubs that are willing to help make the park a better place.

I agree. The issues between LS and BMRA/TMTC can be found by doing some searching on the LS forum and the TMTC forum and that is where it needs to stay. This is not the place to re-hash, discuss or debate what has gone on between them.

that ****s for LSJC. but it is nice of them to leave the improvements.

Yes, that is true.

This week Lone Star Jeep met with Barnwell Mountian as well as TMTC. Unfortunately they still could not come to an agreement.

On Friday I had several conversations with Lone Star. They have decided that they are done trying to negotiate and are going to cut their losses and walk away. They hold no hard feelings towards our club or our members and have decided to leave all of the improvements such as the vise, grill and fire pits in place for the benefit of the four wheel community.

We certainly appreciate all the work that has gone into that camp and the efforts of the LSJC members who made it what it is. As I assured George Rice, Lone Star's Membership Director, we have no issues with, and would encourage, Lone Star members making use of the camp if they are out at Barnwell.

We could just take it by force......Just an option

Yes, but not a good option. We will let things take their course and see what happens.

At least they are trying to hammer out their differences!

UPDATE:

The move mentioned above has been put on hold. LSJC has met with the President of TMTC and will be meeting with the BMRA Board on July 13th for one more attempt to reconcile the issues. At that meeting, the BMRA Board will make one more vote on the relationship with LS and the future of the camp site.

There is a chance that we will not be given sponsorship of the Binder Blvd camp, and if that happens we will definitely retain sponsorship of the Linda Gail site just as before.

While the move would be an exciting one for our club, we should not have any ill feelings if it does not happen. In the big picture, if we do not get the camp it means LSJC and BMRA have settled their differences and LSJC will resume having functions at BMRA. Their support of BMRA is beneficial to everyone who uses the park. The more clubs that support the more resources there will be to make the park better for everyone.

For now we will just sit back and wait. Once a final final decision has been reached we will post another update.
