WELCOME...

THE GET ALONG GANG!

Welcome to our web-site.  This is a work in progress, but with a little time, work and contributions from our gang, we are certain it will be fabulous!

Please explore the site.  We will try to add to each area of the site to not only keep you updated, but keep you entertained as well.

The calendar is a handy way to keep us all informed of events that will be upcoming.  The photo album is a must, to remind us of all the fun we have.  And of course the guest book gives you a chance to comment about our site.

Enjoy!     

FYIWHO & WHAT ARE WE?

After so many years of camping, so many lost brain cells and the ever so unpopular lapse in memory. . . we've decided we need a historian.  That means, we've begged and pleaded for Rene to start a scrap book of pictures, quotes, funny happenings etc. . . starting with our first Fall Ball through our current campouts.  Although we are certain that Rene can handle this huge undertaking, we still need your help.  Please start digging out any old pictures and make us some copies. . .start clearing out the cobwebs in your head and come up with some memorable events etc. . . to be forever added to our official "Memory Book." 

We think this will be crucial to have (especially for those of us beyond 21) not only for us to reflect upon, but also for new folks to get an idea of where we are and were we've been.

Let's face it "Gang," we plan on doing this forever....so someone had better remind us of what we should be embarrased about!

For those of you who don't really know who we are or our history..here is a condensed version.

Many years ago, we attended a campout that seemed to have much internal frustration, anger, control issues and disatisfaction.  Not wanting to interfere with someone elses function...a couple of us sat down and said, "ya know, if people can't get along why bother coming together.  Maybe we should have our own campout, where people can campout in harmony."  Well, we did just that!  We called ourselve the "Get Along Gang" (GAG) to always remind ourselves that we strive to get along with others.

We started in the Fall of 1999 with our first GAG "Fall Ball."  We had such a great time that we decided to also campout in the Spring...thus the GAG "Spring Fling."

Each Spring (the weekend after Mother's Day to be exact) we come together for fun & frolick, including a volleyball championship, horseshoe championship, entertainment and lots of fun!  In the Fall(the 2nd weekend in October), we meet again with a themed campout.  Included in our Fall campout is a charity BINGO game (we choose a different charity each year), outdoor games, pumpkin carving contest, King & Queen crowning, entertainment and once again..lots of fun!

Our "Get Along Gang" has grown from around 12 people to our current email list of approximately 90 names.  We look forward to many more years of camping with our fellow gang members, continuing to "get along" ! 

We don't advertise our campout because if you aren't cool enough to be personally invited, we probably don't want you there. So, it's by personal invite only!  If you notice that this website doesn't give exact locations of our campout, it is for security reasons...but feel free to contact us thru getalonggangcampout@yahoo.com for specific information.

IMPORTANT THINGS THAT NEED TO BE SAID...

1ST AND FORMOST...GAYLA AND GARY ARE NOT WANTING TO SEEM LIKE THEY ARE "IN CHARGE," "IN CONTROL," OR "THE BOSS."  WHAT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO SAY ON THIS WEBSITE AND VIA EMAIL IS AN ACCUMULATION OF CONCERNS BY THE BULK OF CAMPERS.  WE DO HOWEVER, AGREE WITH THESE CONCERNS AND FEEL RESPONSIBLE TO PASS THE INFORMATION ALONG TO EVERYONE THAT ATTENDS THE CAMPOUTS.  SO...HERE IT IS: 

1) If your not legally old enough to drink, please don’t come to the campout thinking that your going to be able to booze it up. We don’t want our group being hassled by the cops for "hosting an underage drinking party". 2) Please don’t allow your animals to annoy other campers by the constant barking or invading of other people’s camps. Supervise your pets, and there is a lease law at Arrowhead. 3) If you are on probation or parole, it’s illegal for you to be at our camp because of the booze...sorry, it's the law. 4) If you can’t control yourself sexually, stay at home. Indecent exposure to campers who are not with our camp and soliciting people at the bathrooms is not cool. 5) If you are prone to violence or known to get drunk, start shit, and fight - make plans to attend The Fight Club campout but don’t come to ours. 6) If you are a registered sex offender it is illegal for you to be in a park and Arrowhead State Park camping area is considered to be a park. Not to mention, messing with kids really pisses us off...and like it or not, 15 and 16 year olds are still children, just ask thier parents! 7) If you're underage, you need to be with your legal parent or guardian because of the booze. If not, the adult your with would be considered to be contributing to underage drinking. 8) Driving around the camp like a fool will not be tolerated and it's dangerous. 9) Please do not bring children to a campout with adult behavior going on, especially at night. If you can’t take your child into a bar, why would you bring them to the campout? Sorry, but your "family" campout should be a totally different place and time. 10) Remember that the campout is by "word of mouth" that is why we don’t have the location on our website. Our campout is a friends of friends type thing, so please don’t invite people you don’t personally know. Some campers are being asked to help "police" the area, just to insure everyone has a good time. If you aren’t cool, we will ask you to leave simple as that. If all else fails, we will call the police. They have been at our camp before because of drama  & bullshit, and this time "we" will make the call.                                                                                          For the newcomers or fairly new to the camp, we want you to know that we are a group of fun loving people who want to camp out, raise a few bucks for a charity, relax with a cocktail, dress up in a costume and laugh with old and new friends. We think we deserve this, don’t you? If this is your first campout, get ready for a great time in a drama free zone. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us and we look forward to the upcoming Fall Ball and having one hell of a good time we’ve earned it!
