For 2024 The Ranger Station will be returning to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky for our Fall Adventure and 25th Anniversary.

As part of America’s great outdoors since 1963, Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area manages over 170,000 acres of forests, wetlands, and open lands on a peninsula between Kentucky and Barkley lakes in Western Kentucky and Tennessee. This family-friendly recreation area offers one of the largest blocks of undeveloped forest in the eastern United States.

This is a beautiful area where people can explore, boat, camp, and fish. People also enjoy the authentic experiences provided by Woodlands Nature Station, Elk & Bison Prairie, Homeplace 1850s Working Farm, and Golden Pond Planetarium and Observatory. The Fort Donelson Civil War for and Casey Jones Distillery are also nearby.

Because of the various opportunities here, there should be something for everyone. Bring the family!

As long as the vacation request is approved, this is a go. Jessica is coming along. Unknown on her daughter just yet. If her daughter comes along, it will have to be the 2019 for the meet. Which means, the 2019 is going to need new shoes and the trailer will probably come for the ride to haul the camping gear. It will get figured out.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
Have you started a list of people coming?
See above.



Just post that you will be attending and a moderator will edit the post and add your name to the list. If you will be bringing anyone, please let us know so we can try to keep an accurate count.

I'm taking the whole week and the week after because I'll be wanting more than a week away from work by then. We'll probably not be showing up until late Thursday but hopefully before dark. Being that it's more than me, I have another person or persons to wait on getting their act together and I'll be bringing more stuff.

I wonder if that Jim guy from Texas will be there.
You mean the guy that started this thread? I don't see his name on the list. Someone's going to get fired.

I just added it to my Google calendar. Will be requesting some time off as soon as I get back to work. Supposed to have been tonight but we got called off for weather.

Hopefully by then I'll have major repairs done to the truck

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
