Ran around at Lead Mine for a little while today. The state has put a lot of work into this area over the last few years. The camping area at the main river access is plenty big for as many people as we can get to come. The boat ramp is in great shape, so you shouldn't have any trouble there, River Rat.
Bear and I are going to do fire roasted chicken legs for everyone there on Saturday night, since that will probably be the night when the most people are there. He has a home made open fire grill contraption that is amazing for such an event. If anyone can roger up for something like a big can of baked beans, paper plates, plastic utensils and/or whatever else, that would be great. However, chicken grilled over an open fire is plenty appetizing by itself.
There are two stores nearby. One is Amish operated, but I'm not sure about the other. The Amish store is basically a small scale grocery store and has an awesome deli. The other one has a cafe as well as general store. There is a strong population of Amish in the immediate vicinity, so be mindful of pedestrians (in seemingly odd/remote places) and horse drawn buggies.
