There is no way to cut through the park from the southern entrance and arrive at the campsite. .

Enter the park from 8801 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh. You go past the ranger's station, turn left on Maintenance Way then right towards Camp Crabtree, and follow that road. Total distance from the gate is a bumpy 3.1 miles.
IMPORTANT: park gates close at 8pm each night. If you don't want to stay the night, you should depart by then.

GAME REGISTRATION
Historically we’ve been pretty organized about how, when, and for whom games are being run. This time around we’re not going to be limited to having space at the student center for certain hours of the day. The dining hall can be open for gaming all day and all night as far as I’m concerned. So I suspect that there will be a lot more in the way of genuine “pickup games” like we see at my of the house cons like the Western NC Game Day or LokiCon if you’re familiar with those.
Nonetheless I’m guessing we’ll want to be able to schedule at least some of our gaming in advance. Let’s have GMs sign up to run games between now and April 18th. That Friday evening at 7:00pm can be our official Player Signup time.
FOOD
Our menu is designed to have a wide appeal and to be plentiful. Nobody should be going hungry during this trip. I’ll probably be carrying food home with me but I’d rather that than anybody show up in the dining hall and have nothing to offer them. A few tweaks (like side dishes) will be made as we come down the home stretch. For now here’s the general outline of what you’d be getting on our meal plan:
Breakfast will be essentially the same every day: Eggs, pancakes, toast, breakfast meat (bacon/sausage). If everyone gets too, too sick of that, I could be persuaded to do a sausage gravy with biscuits. But, essentially, the hot breakfast is going to be a dead simple start to an awesome day’s gaming.
Lunches will generally be pinned between two pieces of bread - picture a spread of affordable cold cuts and cheeses as the default option. We could mix it up with a pulled pork day, this being NC and all; I’ll even go crazy and make some cole slaw that day. But, again, simplicity and ease are the watchwords.
A different Dinner menu every night as follows:
Thursday - Hot Dogs and Hamburgers with chips and all the fixings.
Friday - Spaghetti and side dishes.
Saturday - Sean’s Amazing Meatloaf (trust me, you’ll love it) and sides.
Sunday - Pizza in a lot of varieties.
NOT INCLUDED
Due to the incredibly varied demands folks have in terms of snacks and beverages, these will NOT be included in the meal plan. We will be trying to have some basic beverages like iced tea or Kool-Aid available most of the time but there is just no way for us to guess what quantities of soda or snack foods would make people happy. Please plan to bring them with you. There are grocery stores located very close by to the park so this shouldn’t be a problem.
You may opt in for meals on any or all of the days listed above, but we won’t be trying to break this into smaller increments. Food costs for the entire weekend are $85, or broken down to: Thursday evening = $10, Friday = $25, Saturday = $25, Sunday = $25. Please Paypal your meal costs to asmoore@earthlink.net and let him know what days you're signing up for. IMPORTANT! If you don't pre-pay food by April 25th, we won't have enough food for you, so please reserve yours as soon as you know you're coming. If you miss this date, you'll need to bring your own food.
