Hi Tree Huggers,
I have been having a Spring and Fall climbing event on my property for years. This year I was asked to have the Spring Climb-In at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC April 25-27. I have climbed there twice and have never seen so many huge trees (120+) in such an accessable area. I personally climbed a 150' tulip poplar and the one beside me was taller. It is not always about height but these are some beautiful and BIG trees with great views of the skyline of Winston-Salem. You defintely will not be disappointed.
I began work on this almost 2 month ago and thought it would be a piece of cake. That cake turned to concrete and I almost gave up on it several times. I put the cost of $60 out early on and in the following weeks my cost tripled. I am staying with that price but I need a big group just to break even. It won't ever be this cheap IF I do it again, which is doubtful. The money will cover camping for 2 nights and continental breakfasts I hope! There is no reduction in the price if you choose to stay in a motel, still a great deal. We do a pot luck dinner on Saturday night so bring your specialty. I do boiled shrimp. This will be our only chance to have the entire campground to ourselves. We have hot showers and a really big covered picnic area. We can also have a camp fire so bring wood if you are able. I will be bringing a big load for sure. If you have non climbers with you Tanglewood has tons of things to do: hiking, biking, jogging trails, horseback riding, pool (don't know when it opens?) golf course and the malls of Winston.
This promises to be the Woodstock of climbing events. If you miss it there probably won't be a second chance, I don't think I have the patience to do it again. So move your wedding date! it will be worth it.
