Sounds like where sneake was camped for Jerry's birthday.

Ew, yea, no thank you. I meant the church that was selling $20 tickets to be bussed to some swimming hole.

Lots of folks have asked about WaterLockn, but no one on here seems to have ever tried it. Same goes with the FB Family group. Too much good music, I guess. I'm bringing my bike, but you better believe I'll probably just be riding it to the stage and back.

a local church sponsors trips to a nearby river/swimming hole in their church van. A friend of mine is volunteering to drive some. I'l ltry t oget more details from him as to how long the trips are. They raised prety good money from it last year.

I got this from my friend who volunteers to drive the vans:

From Heather Braunstein, Trinity Church, Waterlockn Director We have also been watching the Lockn boards and have seen some speculation about the $20. After our expenses (renting vans, insurance and gas) our proceeds go to the Virginia Haiti Collaborative and Nelson Kid Care. Our donation together with a grant will go to training teachers in Haiti as many of them are not very educated themselves. Last year our donation went to building a well in Haiti. Nelson Kid Care provides low income school children in Nelson County with enough food to make it through the weekend when they are not in school. Both are worthy charities and Trinity has had a relationship with both for many years.
The schedule for attendees is as follows: Friday 10-4, Saturday 10-4, Sunday 10-2. They may sign up for a spot starting Thursday at 3:00 (when grounds open Folks catch the Waterlockn vans at Trinity across from the Atlas statue on Oak Ridge Rd. They need to come 15 minutes prior to their ticket time to check in. We also provide environmentally friendly soap in case people want scrub a few days worth of camping off. And if folks are bringing kids they need to bring an appropriate car seat with them.
at our Waterlockn booth in the main festival grounds. As of right now we haven't been told where we will be exactly. Look for our banners and signs and watch the Facebook page for updates.

From what I understand, this will be a shuttle over to the Tye River. I fish and yak the Tye and it is beautiful. A cool, clean stream that will be well worth the $20 shuttle. If it where I think it is, a cool spot down by the river with a huge swimming area.

I am in no way associated with the people doing this, so this isn't a commercial!!!!

Oh well, live and learn.

You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more. What happens if I take both?

there are also companies that take you tubing down in Scottsville but I don't see that they are providing transportation.

I think I'll have to pass though, I can't miss Keller Grateful Gospel on Sunday or all the bands that play until 4. It would be nice to take a dip though. Only a week away!

Also consider Crab Tree Falls if you have a vehicle and time, to the north west of Arrington

Please stay on the path and heed the warning signs. There have already been two deaths there this year alone. This sign is a few years old. Death toll is now at 29, most recent fatality occurring last week.
