Yes. People come earlier, very few, if any, stay longer. I am going to show up on the 16th (or the 15th) and bug out early morning on the 22nd or 23rd. If you plan on showing up early, sign up for the eggs benedict breakfast on Monday!

Well shoot, Wyatt's Wagoneer has a stuck brake and or bad rear wheel bearing. And with the rate he fixes things it should be done around November! So I may have to bum trail rides from you guys.

I think I am having a premature senior moment. I appear to be confused about what tent site I am actually in.

Well, whatever, I'll just show up at the Montpelier KOA on April 33rd like we planned* and someone will point me in the right direction.

* Kidding.

I updated the map earlier today. I think it is correct, except for ... squirrel!


PS: I will be staying until Sunday.

So here's a question. For someone like me who is hopeful of attending but doesn't want to take up a space (or have the money for it) because they don't know when, if I can come, it will be for ?? Days.?. I was thinking I may pull the tentcot out of storage and find someplace to set it up. I don't need much. Place to park the Jeep and crash. Spent enough time in the field that a few days "camping" sure won't kill me. Just not sure where to do that on short notice if I can make it. Thoughts?

Ted, you're welcome to join me in my site. We'll have plenty of room for your tentcot, my tentcot, and a one man tent.

Is KOA ok with that? I'd appreciate it. Just don't want to make any bad blood when they are nice enough to accommodate us.

I believe so, I think the sites are for up to four people. We might have to pay for an additional vehicle but it wouldn't be much.

Cool. If ya got room I'd appreciate it. My best guess is if I can swing it I'd leave the springs Wednesday morning early. That way I only miss 2 days (nights) of school.

I think the rule is 2 tents per site.

I have just one tent at my site and would be willing to share space if there's too many at Nikkormat's site.
